Reseña del editor

Tins 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 theE nglish 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 encyclopaedias 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 theE mpire, 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 A nglo-I ndian 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 A nglo-I ndian 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, to which the present work may be regarded as in some degree a supplement.
