[INDIAN REBELLION],
WREXHAM LITERARY INSTITUTE. &
RAWLINS (R.C.)
BRITISH INDIA.
A lovely souvenir from lecture in Wales. British India would’ve been of real interest at the time, given that the Indian Rebellion was then in its sixth month.
Among the topics covered population, climate, and resources; early discoveries of navigators; rise and progress of the East India Company; gradual extention of Territory; Invasion of Affghanistan; caste; former mutinies; sketch of the present revolt and its supposed causes. The lecture concluded with remarks on Delhi and speculation on the future of India.
