Thirty Five Years In The East: Adventures, Discoveries, Experiments, And Historical Sketches Relating To The Punjab And Kashmir

About the Book :- The author has explored new avenues in drawing a beautiful sketch of this discourse which he has divided into two volumes. The first is full of historical sketches and personal reminiscences, the second deals with medicines and medicinal plants. The second volume is too technical for the general reader now, besides the great progress, that the modern Medical Science has made during recent years, his theories have all become more or less antiquated or exploded. We have therefore left out the second volume and published the first. It is said that India has effected a complete ‘turn round’ during the last half of the nineteenth century, under British guidance and having the impulse of English education. His historical sketches will distinctly show that the Punjab of 1848 is no more,—so great have been the changes effected. This book is a good and useful companion to historians. Though a neglected gem, it will, in its new garb attract sufficient public attention and patronage. Almost all the wood-engravings of the features of all the leading notabilities of Lahore during the Khalsa rule and before have been reproduced in this edition. About the Author :- John Martin Honigberger was a physician in the Court of Lahore when Maharajah Runjeet Singh, the Lion of the Punjab, was ruling the country. On the death of the Maharajah, Honigberger stayed long in Lahore to thoroughly understand the people and the Court, the intrigues and the conspiracies which brought about the downfall of the Khalsa Power. He was not only a man of science, but he knew politics and could follow the trend of public affairs and forecast the future. He commanded a happy narrative style of writing and related the stories of the Court of Lahore with a felicity of diction and a charming tete-d-tete fashion, which rivet the attention of the readers to the subjects of narration.
