Excerpt from Indian Outfits Establishments: Practical Guide for Persons to Reside in India; Detailing the Articles Which Should Be Taken Out, and the Requirements of Home Life and Management There This book, compiled from articles which have been recently inserted in the columns of The Bazaar, will, it is hoped, be found of considerable service to English people, more especially young married couples, going to India for the first time. Though there are books already published on the subject of housekeeping in India, still, as numerous questions are con stantly appearing in various papers asking for information respecting Indian life, it is only reasonable to suppose that a book, treating in detail of outfits, voyage and necessaries required for it, railway travelling, bungalow choosing, furnish ing, management of native servants and their duties, the kitchen and recipes for various dishes, the garden and its produce, the stable and general treatment of live stock, combined with hints and suggestions on the manner of living and social customs, will help to supply an acknowledged want, and so be of use to those contemplating a sojourn in India.
