Crooke, William. Things Indian: interesting and entertaining information in regard to India by a former member of the Bengal civil service. *$3. Scribner.
A volume belonging to the series including “Things Chinese,” and “Things Japanese.” “It might well be called a ‘Cyclopedia of India,’ for it is divided alphabetically into subjects varying from agriculture at the beginning, through barasaul guns, caste, juggernaut, opium, tree worship, to writing. It covers a great deal of ground, and contains a vast deal of seemingly intimate knowledge of India.” (N. Y. Times.)
“It deals with a vast variety of subjects pleasantly throughout, and in many cases supplying useful information: in others the treatment is inadequate.”
