Overview
The author of the letters Emily Eden and her sister Fanny accompanied their brother George Eden, the Governor-General of India, in his 2-year trip across India. George and Emily kept a journal which she sent as a series of letters to another sister in England. This volume covers the period from October 1837 to 1840 when George Eden went on tour in the upper provinces meeting local rulers and potentates with a caravan of staff, followers, and soldiers, which often numbered up to 20,000 people. The journal about this trip is an interesting look at life in the English upper classes in India before the mutiny and before Victoria was proclaimed Empress.
