Journal of a route across India, through Egypt, to England in the latter end of the year 1817, and the beginning of 1818

About The Book -: IT has been the object of the author of this work to convey to the public some information regarding the historical events of the late important contest in India, together with such reflections on our political and military relations in that quarter as occurred to his mind. In his personal narrative it has been his aim to add amusement to instruction ; but the reader who wishes only to become acquainted with the more material incidents can easily separate them, by casting his eye on the contents of the different chapters. In describing customs and manners, he is sensible he may have incurred the imputation of prolixity ; but in perusing works of this kind himself, he has, as he conceives, found that the various features and shades of character, whether of individuals or communities, were best depicted by a narrative of actual incidents, though in them selves of little or no general interest. About The Author -: George Augustus Frederick Fitz Clarence, 1st Earl of Munster PC (1794 – 1842), was an English peer and soldier. The eldest illegitimate son of William IV of the United Kingdom and his long-time mistress Dorothea Jordan, he was well-educated, although his written English was atrocious (as was that of several of his royal uncles). He served as an army officer during the Peninsular War and subsequently in India. His father, though proud of his military record, was deeply concerned about his drinking and gambling, vices to which many of William's brothers were prone. He was created Earl of Munster, Viscount Fitz Clarence and Baron Tewkesbury on 4 June 1831, and made a Privy Councillor in 1833. "Earl of Munster" had been a title held by his father before his accession to the British throne. He gained the rank of major-general in the British Army and held the office of aide-de-Camp to his father King William IV between 1830 and 1837. He held the office of Lieutenant of the Tower of London between 1831 and 1833, was Constable and Governor of Windsor Castle between 1833 and 1842 and aide-de-Camp to Queen Victoria between 1837 and 1841. He was elected president of the Royal Asiatic Society in 1841 The Title 'Journal of a route across India, through Egypt, to England in the latter end of the year 1817, and the beginning of 1818 written/authored/edited by Fitzclarence', published in the year 2021.
