Description
|
|
|
|
First published in 1806 and revised in 1815, this comprehensive work by a French missionary offers a unique panorama of 19th-century Indian life before the British Raj. Abbé J.A. Dubois discusses India's caste system, ceremonial procedures, rules and etiquette, marriage, fasting, widowhood, funerary rites, literature, religion, and more. This is an unabridged republication of the English-language third edition of 1905.
