The collected sketches were some of the records of many journeys which the author undertook across the continent of India. The Author believes that the work would reflect some of his own keen enjoyment in these cities and some of their serene charm and oriental enchantment. The Author has given an account of the story of each city their temples; mosque palaces with brief details of the manners and customs of those who erected them. He has endeavored to give life to old scenes, and to reproduce sentiments unfamiliar to the present generation. The book also peeps into ancient architecture and antiquity illustrating them with beautiful pictures.
