Book Description
The author of this volume is an officer in the Company's service, who in 1840 was filling the learned and business-like offices of Interpreter and Quartermaster to his regiment at Mynpooree in Upper India, when he was appointed second in command to the Assam Light Infantry : so to Assam he went. How long he remained there, and what he did, is not told : the volume consists of an account of his journey to his station in Assam, several personal incidents during his early residence there, a description of the country and people, with a sketch of its history, and of the wild tribes by whom Assam is on all sides surrounded, and the Assamese are plundered, kidnapped, or murdered.The volume is chiefly a contribution to our knowledge of the geography and barbarous tribes beyond the Ganges. Popular matter is indeed scattered through the pages, consisting of circumstances that occurred to the author himself, anecdotes of the savage tribes that partly occupy, partly surround Assam, together with some bits of history : but the value of the book consists in the special information it furnishes about a country of which we hear a good deal and know little ; and in this point of view it is useful.Notwithstanding the boasts of the venders and the advertisements in shops, there is little likelihood that Assam tea will realize the promises of projectors or the hopes of the public, at least in this generation. Tea can doubtless be grown in Assam, as it can in other places ; but, we fear, not in sufficient quantity to interfere with the Chinese supply, still less to compete with is in price. As a reprint from original, this book includes full color pictures and drawings.
