About This Item

London, John Murray, 1828.3 volumes. Contemporary half calf, spines gilt. With 27 wood-engravings. LXVII,450; VI,564; VI,525,(2),VIII pp.First edition published the same year. - Posthumously published by the widow of the author Amelia Heber. Reginald Heber (1783-1826) described in his daily journal his travels as bishop of Calcutta through Northern India from October 1823 to April 1824. This tour encompassed a journey through Bihar, Rohilkhand, Rajputana, and Gujarat with visits to such key cities as Benares, Allahabad, Agra and Lucknow. The main interest in Heber's journal is in his description of the people and their culture and in his observation of the great natural beauty of India's rivers and mountains (Riddick 123). He later visited Ceylon, and sailed to Madras and the south, where he died in April 1826. A highly valuable, interesting, and most delightful work (Lowndes 1030-1031). - A fine copy.Goonetileke I, 2202.
