There is little of any interest to attract the eye or break the ennui of the long journey. I do not remember any tunnel the whole way. We passed along the shore of the Ganges, though not always close to it, and across plains, ex cept when, at some points, we skirted a low line of hills rising like a line of beach to this ocean of al luvial soil. There was not much visible of any of the towns we passed. The natives who crowded the station-houses were very like the people we saw every where. They pushed along in feverish anxiety to get their seats, being frequently encumbered with their bundles of household gear. Their wives and children clung to them all the while, and jabbered with nerv ous earnestness. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
