Excerpt from Pictorial Tour Round India The Object of this book is to give the people of India a better idea of their own beautiful country. For many centuries pilgrims have visited supposed holy places and thus acquired a certain amount of knowledge, while, lately, by means of railways, travelling has been greatly facilitated. Still, few have made the circuit of India; great numbers have never left their native towns; besides, the numerous pictures will be to all a welcome addition to verbal accounts. The course proposed is to make an imaginary journey round the country, noticing some of the principal Objects of interest Several thick volumes would be required to describe every thing that ought to be mentioned. Many important cities and places will therefore be passed over, or only slightly noticed, especially Central India and most of the Deccan. One reason for this is the want of woodcuts, without which descriptions are much less intelligible. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Many of the Smithsonian Institution's early studies, published since 1881 in such official publications as the Bureau of American Ethnology's reports and bulletins, have remained major sources of information on North American Indians. The Classics of Smith-sonian Anthropology series makes available, for the first time in decades, some of the most important of these basic works.The only major early ethnography of northern Alaskan Eskimos, Murdoch's heavily illustrated study of this unique people's society and material culture remains a seminal reference work.
