About the Book

About The Book -: This Book Discusses 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.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.

About The Author -: William Crooke Cie Fba ( 1848 - 1923) Was A British Orientalist And A Key Figure In The Study And Documentation Of Anglo-Indian Folklore. He Was Born In County Cork, Ireland, And Was Educated At Erasmus Smith'S Tipperary Grammar School And Trinity College, Dublin. Crooke Joined The Indian Civil Service. While An Administrator In India, He Found Abundant Material For His Researches In The Ancient Civilizations Of The Country. He Found Ample Time To Write Much On The People Of India, Their Religions, Beliefs And Customs. He Was Also An Accomplished Hunter. Although Crooke Was A Gifted Administrator, His Career In The Ics Lasted Only 25 Years Because Of Personality Clashes With His Superiors. He Returned To England And In 1910, He Was Chosen To Be The President Of The Anthropological Section O
