Across India At The Dawn Of The Twentieth Century (1898)

Across India At The Dawn Of The Twentieth Century is a travelogue written by Lucy Evangeline Guinness, an English missionary who traveled extensively throughout India in the late 19th century. The book is a vivid and detailed account of her travels, which took her from the bustling cities of Bombay and Calcutta to the remote villages and jungles of the interior. Guinness describes the people she met along the way, from wealthy merchants to impoverished peasants, and provides a fascinating glimpse into the customs, traditions, and daily life of India at the turn of the century. She also shares her observations on the impact of British colonial rule on the country, as well as her own experiences as a Christian missionary working to spread the gospel in a predominantly Hindu and Muslim society.
