Synopsis

Simla, Past and Present is a historical book written by Edward John Buck in 1904. The book provides a detailed account of the history, culture, and lifestyle of Simla, a hill station in India during the British Raj. Buck describes the early days of Simla, when it was a small village, and how it became a popular summer retreat for the British during the 19th century. He also provides insights into the daily life of the British officials and their families who lived in Simla, including their social activities, sports, and entertainment. The book contains detailed descriptions of the architecture, landmarks, and natural beauty of Simla, along with photographs and illustrations. Buck also touches upon the political and social issues of the time, including the Indian Nationalist Movement and the impact of British rule on the local population. Overall, Simla, Past and Present is a fascinating account of a bygone era in India's history and a must-read for anyone interested in the country's colonial past.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
