The purpose of this book, published in 1813 by Thomas Duer
Broughton (1778 1835), is to provide an English audience with an
accurate description of 'the character, manners, domestic habits
and religious ceremonies of the Mahrattas'. Broughton, an army
officer in the East India Company, first arrived in India while
serving as a cadet in the Bengal establishment in 1795, and
eventually rose to the positions of captain in 1805, major in 1816
and colonel in 1829. The book consists of a series of thirty-two
letters addressed to his brother, and most of the letters describe
the events and the environment of the Rajputana region, beginning
with an account of a journey from Agra to Kerowli. The letters
which follow all contain fascinating descriptions of festivals and
other events, and cultural encounters of all kinds, painting a
vivid portrait of life for the British in early nineteenth-century
India.
