Across India At The Dawn Of The Twentieth Century is a travelogue written by Lucy Evangeline Guinness, who was a missionary and social worker. The book was published in 1898 and chronicles her journey across India, which she undertook in the late 19th century. The book provides a vivid description of the country, its people, culture, and customs during that era. It covers her travels through various cities and towns, including Calcutta, Bombay, Madras, and Delhi, among others. Guinness also provides insights into the lives of the people she met, including the rich and the poor, the royalty, and the commoners. The book is not only a travelogue but also a social commentary on the state of India at that time. It sheds light on issues such as poverty, illiteracy, and the caste system prevalent in the country. The book is a fascinating read for anyone interested in Indian history or travel literature.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
