Not illustrated. 1851 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER XIV. THE SCINDIAN WOMAN--ESPECIALLY HER EXTERIOR. In treating of the fair sex, we ought, I suppose, Mr. Bull, to commence by a sketch of superficialities, thereby suiting manner to matter. The first thing the Eastern traveller homereturned remarks in the streets of his native town is, that scarcely any two people resemble each other. In the most civilised European countries there has been such a mixture of blood and breed that now an almost infinite variety of features and complexions, shapes and forms, has been grafted upon the original stock which each region grew. He then explains to himself how it was that during his earlier months of wandering, he thought all the men he met brothers, all the women sisters, and remembers that, till his eye became familiar with its task, he could trace no more distinction between individuals than a cockney would discover in two white sheep of a size. Caste, in this part of the Eastern world, groups the population of a country into so many distinct bodies, each bearing a peculiar likeness to the other, and all a general one to the characteristic face and form of the race. Rank makes some difference of colour--the higher it is the fairer the skin f--and wealth gives a delicacy of feature and figure--not to be found amongst the ill-fed, ill-clad, and hardworked poor; but here they fail to destroy the family resemblance which naturally exists between individuals of the same country, age, and creed. I must request you to be present at the unpacking of a Scindian lady of high degree, during which operation I shall lecture upon the points most likely to interest you, sir, my intelligent audience. Observe, she stands before you in her Burka--ungraceful prototype of the most graceful mantilla--which...

Excerpt from Scinde; Or, the Unhappy Valley, Vol. 1 of 2 But you look in vain towards me, your guide. I will not answer a single question. One of these days, Mr. Bull, when you are quite recovered from the fatigue and annoyances of this Oriental trip, when Mrs. Bull once more allows you a few weeks leave of absence, when the boys and girls are all in rude health, and at work, as good children should be, and when there is no squabble, clerical, laical, on public grounds or on private grounds, in your happy home, - no murders in the neighbourhood to engross your attention and your spare time - then, sir, may be I shall offer my services as courier to you down the eastern coast of the Erythraean Sea up to Semaa in Yemen, the capital of that land of happy name.

Not illustrated. 1851 edition. Excerpt: ...a return is expected, and the amount of the return is supposed exactly to show at what rate you value yourself. We must give vails to all the fellows, otherwise we shall be called " fly-suckers," i. e., skin-flints--a reputation which you, in your own country, and in these days, seem rather to court than to avoid, Mr. Bull; but what the East is not yet sufficiently enlightened to appreciate. We must also send a " token" to the noble giver of the sweetmeats; if we withhold it, he will not be too shamefaced to apply for it in person. I remarked that, during the visit, he repeatedly admired your ring, a bloodstone, with the family crest, a lion rampant, upon it. Send it to him, with an epigrammatic compliment, which I will impromptu for you, and you will earn, as the natives say, a "great name." "Well, Hari Chand, how progresses the Ameer?""The Ameer? Your exalted intelligence will understand most prosperously, only he has robbed THE MOONSHEES SCANDAL. 159 his Ryot of all their camels, and now he is quarrelling with the neighbouring Jagirdars (country gentlemen), in order to get theirs to cheat the Company with; he has depopulated the land of small birds to feed his twenty hawks; he has been to Hyderabad and has returned stark-staring mad, swearing that he drank two sahibs under the table, and made love to every madam in the place (Hari Chand is determined to excite our ghairat, or jealousy on that point by perpetually hammering at it); he has married another wife, although people say he has five f already; the new one being a devil, fights with all the old ones, who try to poison her; and his eldest daughter, when on a visit to the capital, ran away with a mounted policeman. Wah! wah! Verily, it...

Excerpt from Scinde or the Unhappy Valley, Vol. 2 of 2 Reading maketh a full man, conference a ready man, and writing an exact man, - is a time-honoured maxim to which we now discount credence at sight. Certainly it is a serious thing to oppose one's opinion to that of Bacon - the paragon of genius, utilitarianism and roguery. But, eminent doctors of the mind do differ on this subject, at least as widely as they do upon others; as they do upon all.
