Emma Roberts' 1835 work, compiled from articles she published in
the Asiatic Journal, was well received in India and England.
Roberts lived in India from 1828 with her sister and her
brother-in-law who served in the 61st Bengal infantry. In 1830 she
moved to Calcutta, where she edited and wrote for the Oriental
Observer and contributed to periodicals and annuals. Returning to
London in 1832, she threw herself into the literary world,
publishing in several different fields. This book reveals Roberts'
sympathetic attitude to the Indian people and her genuine interest
in providing a thorough and honest report of their culture. Volume
3 covers topics including the position of women, shopping,
gardening, manners, education, missionaries, politics, Anglo-Indian
relations and the military establishment, as well as expanding on
subjects discussed in the earlier volumes. For more information on
