High-Road of Empire

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. I have, I hope, given typical views of typical places, but though not neglecting the more strik ing scenes and buildings which form the goal of every pilgrim's quest, I have tried to fix the attention of lovers of the beautiful on the essentially picturesque side, on the little pictures that unfold themselves at every turn of the wheel of life in India and might well be overlooked by the casual wayfarer.
