By this Chart, any person, however ignorant of the subject, may, by
an hour’s attention, obtain a clear view of the broad lines of Indian
History, and of the evolutions which have resulted in the dominion
of Her Majesty as EMPRESS OF INDIA. It will be found invaluable for
EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES, especially in Colleges and Schools,
where an Indian career is in contemplation. It will also be found of
PERMANENT UTILITY in all Libraries and Offices as a work
of ready reference for the connection of events and dates. Besides
the History of India, it includes the contemporaneous histories of
AFGHANISTAN, CENTRAL ASIA, and EUROPE.
A RELIEVO MAP OF INDIA.
BY
HENRY F. BRION.
_In Frame, 21s._
A map of this kind brings before us such a picture of the surface of
a given country as no ordinary map could ever do. To the mind’s eye
of the average Englishman, India consists of ‘the plains’ and ‘the
hills,’ chiefly of the former, the hills being limited to the Himalayas
and the Nilgiris. The new map will at least enable him to correct his
notions of Indian geography. It combines the usual features of a good
plain map of the country on a scale of 150 miles to the inch, with
a faithful representation of all the uneven surfaces, modelled on a
scale thirty-two times the horizontal one; thus bringing out into clear
relief the comparative heights and outlines of all the hill-ranges,
and showing broad tracts of uneven ground, of intermingled hill and
valley, which a common map of the same size would hardly indicate,
except to a very practised eye. The plains of Upper India are reduced
to their true proportions; the Central Provinces, Malwa, and Western
Bengal reveal their actual ruggedness at a glance; and Southern India,
from the Vindhyas to Cape Comorin, proclaims its real height above
the sea-level. To the historical as well as the geographical student
such a map is an obvious and important aid in tracing the course of
past campaigns, in realising the conditions under which successive
races carried their arms or settlements through the Peninsula, and
in comprehending the difference of race, climate, and physical
surroundings which make up our Indian Empire. Set in a neat frame of
maplewood, the map seems to attract the eye like a prettily-coloured
picture, and its price, a guinea, should place it within the reach
of all who care to combine the useful with the ornamental.“--_Home
