Book Description
Harriet Tytler was the only woman present at the siege of Delhi in 1957, the most crucial encounter of the Indian Mutiny. l857. Her unique eyewitness account of the siege and description of her life in India are remarkable as much for their compelling readability as for their historical significance. A woman of singular courage and independence, Harriet Earle was born into an army family in India and at the age of nineteen married Captain Robert Tytler, a widower ten years her senior. Her memories of childhood in India and England before the Mutiny are vivid with incident, and her suffering at the hands of a tyrannical aunt molded a strong and resilient personality. No adventure story could be more exciting than the tale of her dramatic escape from Delhi at the outbreak of the Mutiny. Eight months pregnant at the time, with her husband, two children and French maid she returned to witness the three-month British siege of the city, during which she gave birth to a son, subsequently christened Stanley Delhiforce. Her memoirs tell a fascinating personal story that illustrates very well the attitudes and assumptions of the English in India.

Book Description
This historical guidebook, published when the British Raj was at its height, instructs Englishwomen on how to run an efficient household in India. Written by an anonymous longtime resident of the country, this book begins by offering readers instructions on what to bring on the long journey to India. As the voyage took weeks by boat, a specific itinerary is offered: unnecessary items and sundries are discouraged, as are things which would spoil quickly, or that can easily be acquired in Indian marketplaces or stores. We then hear about the various attributes of a good household in India. Topics include acquiring a competent and reliable team of servants; making the home presentable, tidy and well-furnished; and establishing an environment suited to bringing up and educating children. We also hear of how a household must be ready for travel at short notice, such as on colonial business. In the case of rural dwellings, the need for a properly run stable and farmyard is also detailed. The second portion of the book contains hundreds of recipes. Some of these, such as curries and certain meat dishes, are decidedly Indian while others demonstrate how to improvise popular European dishes from ingredients commonly found in the locality. This portion of the text concludes with a series of menus suitable for feeding the entire family in any given month.
