The Three Presidencies Of India: A History Of The Rise And Progress Of The British Indian Possessions [Hardcover] - Couverture rigide

Hardcover. Etat : New. Language: English. About the Book:-In the words of the author, in spite off a profusion of book on the subject, "a work was still wanted which should place the public in possession not merely of such facts as been upon the political phase of the subject, but also of a faithful picture, social and industrial, of the many races comprising of the people of British India". Having a long association with the Indian Press and a long stay here, which brought him in close contact with civilians, merchants and planters, the author considered himself able to treat the subject justly. The book is divided into four parts: historical, political, physical and moral, and has 29 chapters with numerous illustrations. About the Author:-John Capper F.R.A.S. (1814 1898) was a writer and Orientalist, particularly noted for his association with Ceylon (present day Sri Lanka) and his editorship of The Times of Ceylon. He joined the coffee wholesale business of Acland & Boyd, by whom in 1837 he was sent to Ceylon to manage the company's cinnamon and coconut oil interests, and where he oversaw the clearing of much native vegetation for the establishment of new coffee plantations. 1847 saw the collapse of the coffee market, and Acland & Boyd suspended operations. Capper returned to London, where he threw himself into journalistic activity: he wrote articles on Ceylon for Charles Dickens' Household Words (uncredited, as was Dickens' custom), and The Emigrant's Guide to Australia chiefly aimed at hopeful diggers, the Australian gold rush then being in full swing. Next came The Three Presidencies of India: A History of the Rise and Progress of the British Indian Possessions, which enjoyed a considerable market and praise from critics.
