Excerpt from Scenes and Characteristics of Hindostan, Vol. 1 of 3: With Sketches of Anglo-Indian Society

Many and excellent works have lately come under our notice illustrative of India, ancient and modern, but we do not know when our attention has been more forcibly attracted than by a series of sketches published by Miss Roberts in that excellent miscellany the Asiatic Journal, Light, animated, and graphic, they describe manners and people with spirit, and scenery with a tone of poetical feel ing which alone can do justice to the magnificence of the Eastern World. We hope she will be induced to collect them in a volume, and a delightful one it will be.
