A near fine bright, clean tightly bound copy in a VG (slightly chipped on a few extremities) scarce dustwrapper. (Yakushi, N157). In writing this book, undertaken at the suggestion of many friends, the author has tried to steer a middle course between those accounts of Nepal inevitably cursory and incomplete, that are to be found in ordinary works of travel whose author s have paid merely brief visits to that little known country, and the more elaborate and exhaustive works written by those who from their close connection, official or non-official, with the country, can claim to be actual experts on the subject. This book is written during the time of the British Raj. This book is an Englishman s perspective of the Gurkhas as a people, offering fascinating insights into their customs, beliefs, way of life and the services they rendered as part of a British military outfit. The book is the product of extensive study of a first-hand experience of the colonial perspective. It contains good illustrations and photographs to make it more interesting. The book contains a chapter by Brigadier General C. G. Bruce. William Brook Northey was born in 1884 in England. He was a British officer of the Gurkha regiment, in which he served for twenty years. He trained the Nepal Escort in Kathmandu, served with the Nepalese Contingent on the Indian Frontier during the Great War and held the post of Recruiting Officer for five years, during which he was permitted by Chandra Shumshere to visit the interiors of Nepal that were out of bounds to other Europeans.…
