Book Description

Excerpt from Memories of Madras According to Saint Beuve - as quoted by The Times, on the 1.4th' ultimo there is little that is new in this world, except what has grown old, and very often we discover what has already been known and forgotten. The reflection applies to this book, which contains glimpses of men and things of former days in Madras, that were obtained by delving in the archives of the British Museum and the India Office. The papers appeared originally in the Madras M ail, and have now been recast and enlarged. They are illustrated by examples of the methods of photo-engraving invented by Sir Joseph.
