Narrative Of A Journey Overland From England: By The Continent Of Europe, Egypt, And The Red Sea To India Including A Residence There, And Voyage Home, In The Years 1825, 1826, 1827, And 1828

The author of these two volumes put the things in right perspective keeping in record the historical facts and figures are concerned. She can safely affirm that she has given a true and faithful description of what she saw and felt, in the very peculiar circumstances in which she occasionally found herself, and in the singular countries which it was her fate to visit, and since, if she may judge from her own feelings, women naturally take a lively interest in what concerns their own sex, she flatters herself, that the following account of adventures of the first and only female who has hitherto ventured overland from England to India, may at least prove not wholly unacceptable to the fair part of the reading community. Through above discussion, it has been drawn that it is not impossible some overland traveller may derive benefit from her experience, which has already enabled her to give hints, and to furnish suggestions and information, that have been found useful by parties proceeding to and returning from India. The book is the product of extensive study of the author?s travelling experience in this part of the land.
