Excerpt from Things Indian: Being Discursive Notes on Various Subjects Connected With India

India forms a continent rather than a country. The Panjabi, for instance, differs as much in physique, character, language, and traditions from the Madrasi, as the Scotchman from the Neapolitan. Hence, when a writer attempts to deal with subjects which concern the Empire as a whole, the difficulty of the task becomes apparent. A statement which may be true as regards Northern India may in no sense apply to the land or races of the South. For matters, therefore, which lie beyond my own experience, confined as it was to the United Provinces of Agra and Oudh, I have been obliged to rely on the best available authorities. A bibliography of this literature will be found prefixed to the new edtion Of Hobson-jobson.

Excerpt from Things Indian: Being Discursive Notes on Various Subjects Connected With India

This book is intended to form one of the series which already includes "Things Chinese," by Dr J. D. Ball, and "Things Japanese," by Professor B. H. Chamberlain. The selection of subjects for treatment and the form of the present book naturally differ from those of its predecessors. India is much better known to the English reader than either China or Japan, and there is a large library of works on special questions connected with the country and people, not to speak of encyclopædias like the "Imperial Gazetteer." Hence it has not been considered advisable to discuss at length the history, religion, literature, geography, geology, or natural history of the Empire, subjects which cannot be dealt with in a satisfactory way within the limits of short articles. It has been my object to search in the by-ways of Anglo-Indian literature, and discuss some of the quaint and curious matters connected with the country which are not specially considered in the ordinary books of reference.

This method of treating "Things Indian" was suggested to me in the course of reading which I was obliged to undertake in the preparation of a new edition of the "Anglo-Indian Glossary" of Sir H.Yule and Mr Burnell. It seemed to me that it would be interesting to deal in a similarly discursive way, but with more detail, with some of the subjects already included in the Glossary, i to which the present work may be regarded as in some degree a supplement.
