Footnote
The final work by a noted 19th-century female traveller and writer on India. Its rarity may be due to the unpropitious circumstances in which it was published: the author's call for ‘greater sympathy between British and Indians … met a cold response in the aftermath of the Indian mutiny’ (ODNB).
