First published in 1938, the author describes the ways in which the
British lived in India from the early adventurous period of the
East India Company until the 1930s when modern means of travel and
communication enabled the sahibs to keep in close touch with home
and eschew oriental influences. He describes their amusements and
sports, their domestic arrangements, their relations with the
native population. There is a delicious period panorama of Simla in
the eighties. He gives a careful historical account of the growth
and fate of the Eurasian population. The approach throughout is
decorative rather than academic, and leads to a highly entertaining
pageant of the British in India.
