THE 
 
 Empire of India Exhibition. 
 
 The organization and development of so comprehensive a scheme 
 as that now undertaken has been a task of considerable magnitude, 
 and one to which for some years I have devoted considerable thought. 
 
 Nowhere in or about London is there so magnificent a site for 
 Exhibition purposes as that of Earl's Court, but in order to carry 
 out my ideas feasibly I felt it was necessary that a longer than an 
 annual lease should be secured. The buildings erected thereon, which 
 had been used for several years, were totally inadequate for the 
 purposes of my conception, and I considered it impractical to replace 
 them with temporary structures. 
 
 To construct permanent buildings in such a manner as to render 
 them amenable to transformation from year to year was the first 
 difficulty to be overcome. 
 
 I secured the co-operation of a Company, composed of a number 
 of wealthy and influential friends, who took up the idea with spirit, 
 and the capital necessary for the undertaking having been subscribed, 
 the details of the proposed plan were soon under way. 
 
 In looking about for the subject of the first Exhibition, none 
 seemed to me to be more fitting than that of 
 
 THE YAST EMPIRE 
 
 which forms so important a part of the dependencies of Great 
 Britain. 
 
 The beauty of its Oriental architecture, the warmth of its colouring, 
 the picturesque costuming of its peoples, the skill of its artisans, and 
 the interest with which its history is regarded by Englishmen were 
 reasons for the selection of India for my initial effort. Further, I 
 believed that the tie — both political and commercial — which links the 
 two countries together would be strengthened by such an Exhibition ; 
 that the Englishmen would learn more aboutlndia, and that the various 
 peoples of that country would appreciate the interest which was being 
 taken in their native land. 
 
 That I was not wrong in this assumption has been proved by 
 the sincere interest which has, from the first, been manifested in 
 
10 
 
 IMEE KIEALFY S INTRODUCTION. 
 
 the scheme hy a large number of ladies and gentlemen at home who 
 have publicly and privately lent us valuable assistance, and by the 
 promptness with winch many of the native Princes have responded to 
 our request by making valuable additions to our collection of Indian 
 curiosities and woi-ks of Art. 
 
 Having thus briefly stated the conception of the idea, let me show 
 the visitor its fulfilment by conducting him over the Exhibition, 
 starting from the turnstiles at Earl's Court entrance : — 
 
 The first change he will notice is the removal of the long and 
 dreary passage which ho formerly had to traverse before entering the 
 Exhibition. A few steps along a bright and well-lighted corridor will 
 lead him into 
 
 THE DUCAL HALL, 
 
 which, with its east and west annexes, is situated in the north-eastern 
 portion of the grounds. This Hall is devoted to an exhibition of 
 the wares manufactured at home for the Indian markets. On passing 
 through this fine Hall he will have a magnificent view immediately 
 before him of the several buildings of Indian architecture, the 
 domes and turrets of which are reflected in the waters of a limpid 
 Lake, which stretches gracefully throughout the portion of the 
 Grounds we call 
 
 THE QUEEN'S COURT. 
 
 From the Ducal Hall we pass to the right, under the imposing 
 Loggias until the Curry House is reached. This handsome edifice 
 will be devoted exclusively to Indian cookery, and here the Anglo- 
 Indian visitor may refresh his inner man with his favourite Eastern 
 dishes, prepared by a staff of Indian cooks, and placed before him 
 by native servants. Outside the Curry House we stand on the 
 banks of the Lake, on which is a fleet of small Indian barges, 
 propelled by electricity, and provided for the use of the public. 
 Resuming our stroll under the Loggias, we pass over the water 
 and enter 
 
 THE QUEEN'S PALACE. 
 
 This building is over 450 feet long and 75 feet wide. It contains 
 the Pine Art and Loan Exhibits, and the rare and interesting col- 
 lection of relics of the Hon. East India Company. The facade ia 
 striking in appearance, and lends itself to a plan of illumination which 
 I am sure is both novel and effective. This is accomplished by 
 electricity, and the effect at night on the water is extremely brilliant. 
 The exterior of each of these buildings is white, in resemblance of 
 the famous Indian Palaces. 
 
 Having passed through the Queen's Palace, stopping on tho way 
 to listen to the Band of tho Grenadier or Coldstream Guards, con- 
 ducted by Lieutenant Dan Godfrey and Mr. C. Thomas respectively, 
 we will again pass under tho Colonnades to the handsome building 
 across the Lake, and immediately opposite the Curry House. This 
 is used as a Grill Room. The seating arrangement in both these 
 rooms renders it possible for every visitor to enjoy the animation 
 of the water scene while seated at table. 
 
IMRE K1RALFY S INTRODUCTION.

 Those two buildings, as well as all the other places in which refresh- 
 ments of every description are sold, arc in the hands of Messrs. Spiers 
 and Pond, Limited. I am confident that no better firm than this 
 enterprising one could have been selected. To cater for the many 
 thousands who visit the Exhibition daily requires experience of a 
 peculiar description, and a thorough knowledge of the wants of the 
 community. That this firm possesses these qualifications was amply 
 shown in their catering arrangements during the series of popular 
 exhibitions which a few years ago were held at South Kensington. 
 They are sure to satisfy the most fastidious visitor, and will make 
 that feature of the Exhibition as popular as the others. 
 
 In the semi-circular Grounds between the two sides of the Lake arc 
 
 THE RHEMBA GARDENS. 
 
 with an illuminated fountain. Nor are these the only Gardens in this 
 section of the Grounds, for stretching from the Queen's Palace to the 
 Entrance at West Brompton Station is the Parvati Garden, covered 
 with Indian plants and flowers, and as we stroll past this will note 
 two pretty little islands, covered with grotto work. The visitor 
 will notice that his illusion is not disturbed by the sight of outside 
 buildings, these being entirely excluded from view by painted scenery, 
 which, as it were, shuts him out from London, and leaves him to 
 luxuriate amidst Indian scenes. 
 
 Retracing our steps we again enter the Queen's Palace and feast 
 our eyes on the treasures it contains. On the walls is the superb 
 Loan Collection of Paintings in Oil and Water Colours, undoubtedly 
 the largest collection of one class of subject ever before brought 
 together. Many of these are the works of Indian Artists, who have 
 been induced to exhibit them in response to the very generous offer 
 made by the Exhibition, and earnestly taken up by the Council of the 
 Society for the Preservation of Indian Art. Here also will be found a 
 collection of eighty or ninety Pictures from the brush of Mr. Edwin 
 L. Weeks, a famous American artist, who has made a great study of 
 Eastern life. This magnificent collection includes his celebrated 
 pictures " The Last Voyage," " Funeral of a Hindu Fakir at Benares," 
 "The Mogul Emperor," "The Pearl Mosque of Agra," and several 
 others of his triumphs at the Paris Salon. 
 
 In this place are also relics of the Hon. East India Company, 
 which a few years ago were scattered broadcast over the world, and 
 brought here after months of infinite labour, through the kindness 
 of scores of those in sympathy with the aim of the officials of the 
 Exhibition. 
 
 Here will be found many rich and rare curios, lent by His Highness 
 the Maharajah of Travancore, His Highness the Raja of Bobbili, and 
 other native Princes. The loan exhibits include the magnificent 
 collection of Lord Roberts, of Kandahar, the intensely interesting 
 collection of the late Lord Clive, kindly lent by Earl Powis, together 
 with bis own valuable collection, the trophies won by the 8th Hussars 
 in their Indian competitions, and many other important loans from 
 General Hart Keatinge, V.C., C. S.I., Sir Henry Hayes Lawrence, 
 Right Hon. H. H. Fowler, M.P., Secretary of State for India, Sir 
 Alfred Lyall, K.C.B., Sir George Birdwood, K.C.I.E., and others. 
 
12 IMRE KIRALFY'S INTRODUCTION. 
 
 We now pass through a covered way in to 
 
 I 
 
 THE CENTRAL HALL. 
 
 In a place so vast as this it is very essential for friends to have a 
 place of meeting arranged for them. The Central Hall will be a con- 
 venient rendezvous, being nearly in the centre of the Exhibition, and 
 contiguous to the two most important entrances. In it are the 
 Police-station and station of the London Fire Brigade. To the left of 
 this Hall is the Empress Theatre, which we will visit presently. 
 
 We now pass into 
 
 THE ELECTRICAL MACHINERY HALL, 
 
 with its magnificent plant. There are nine steel locomotive-type 
 boilers, each capable of evaporating from 300 to 350 gallons per 
 hour, and six engines, making in all over 1,000 h.p. 
 
 The arc-lighting comprises about 280 lamps of 2,000 nominal 
 candle-power each, and seven powerful projector lamps for the 
 illuminated fountains. Five of the latter are worked in an under- 
 ground chamber beneath the fountain bed, and a system of electrical 
 signalling is arranged to control the various changes of colour and 
 form of the water. 
 
 The incandescent work is most thorough. Every portion of the 
 place, even down to the cellars used by the caterers, is fitted with the 
 electric light. It also includes the extensive decorative lighting in 
 the Queen's Court. The whole of the eave lines are carried out in 
 incandescent lamps, making an effect that would be difficult to surpass. 
 
 Returning to the Central Hall, we find opposite to the Empress 
 Theatre 
 
 THE IMPERIAL GARDENS. 
 
 It was upon this site that the Imperial Palace was to have been 
 built. In fact, all the ironwork was in position when it was destroyed 
 by the furious gale of March 24th. Within a few hours after its 
 destruction I formulated another plan, and in ten days the debris 
 had been cleared away, and the erection of the present structure 
 surrounding the gardens commenced. The present Pavilion and the 
 Gardens will this year take the place of a more permanent struc- 
 ture, although in point of beauty I think the public are the gainers 
 by the enforced change of my original plan. Under the Colonnades 
 are some excellent specimens of Indian manufactures. They will, I 
 think, be found of great interest to thousands of European visitors. 
 Signor Angelo Venanzi's Grand Exhibition Orchestra now plays in the 
 Pavilion in the centre of the Gardens. 
 
 We will now enter 
 
 THE INDIAN CITY. 
 
 This is reached by passing through the Maidan Gate, and the space 
 immediately in front we call The Maidan. The large building on the 
 left contains 
 
IMRE KIRALFy's INTRODUCTION. 13 
 
 THE JUNGLE. 
 
 The visitor will here find a realistic jungle, replete with Indian 
 animal life, which has been designed and constructed, and the 
 animals modelled, by Mr. Bowland Ward. Some thousands of speci- 
 mens are to be ccen, including elephants, rhinoceroses, tigers, leopards, 
 buffaloes, bison, wild sheep, ibex, antelopes, gazelles, snakes, crocodiles, 
 and a vast number of birds, butterflies and insects, arranged and 
 grouped in life-like manner. 
 
 On the right of tho Jungle is a building occupied by a Troupe of 
 
 INDIAN JUGGLERS, 
 
 while next to it we find 
 
 A BURMESE PUOT, 
 
 in which a company of Burmese artists appear in a series of charac- 
 teristic songs, dances, and native games. Football as played by them 
 will be highly relished by European audiences. 
 
 This is Bombay Street, and the one opposite is Hyderabad Stroet. 
 In the latter 
 
 A NATIVE BAZAAR 
 
 is in full swing. This square is called The Chowk, and at the end is 
 the 
 
 INDIAN TEA HOUSE, 
 
 in which, at all hours, is served " the cup that cheers, but not inebri- 
 ates," prepared from the choicest leaves of the fragrant tea-plant. 
 
 On the right is Lucknow Street ; on the left, Delhi Street, and these 
 lead into Lahore Square. 
 
 The Bamboo Shops form an interesting feature in this unique 
 aggregation of Indian life, this being one of the remarkable variety 
 of uses to which this useful plant is adapted. In the City we may 
 explore the intricacies of an Indian Carpet Factory, or pass into a 
 Glass Manufactory filled with quaint and curious articles of that 
 fragile substance. 
 
 THE MOSQUE 
 
 naturally excites much interest, as it was not built merely for show, 
 but is used as a place of worship by the Mahomedans who are 
 sojourning at Earl's Court during the Exhibition. Here the pious 
 Mussulman is seen with his face turned towards Mecca, engaged in 
 his ilevotions, and no profane foot is allowed to enter the sacred 
 precinct. I believe that there are but two similar places of worship 
 in England. 
 
 A Company of Silk Weavers from the Punjab are busily engaged at 
 work on those rich and beautiful wares which always attract the 
 attei;tion of the fair sex. 
 
 Throughout tho City there are Sweetmeat Factories, and a covered 
 Bazaar with a number of Shops in which Artisans give practical 
 illustrations of the industries of their native Provinces. Local colour

 and animation are given to the strange and fascinating scene by the 
 introduction of Elephants, Camels, and Cattle, which pass through 
 the mimic Town as was their wont in that strange land beyond the 
 sea. 
 
 At the end of the City stands the splendid architectural facade of 
 the Shakra Gato, through which we pass into 
 
 ELYSIA, 
 
 along a flue Promenade, flanked by trees, which loads to 
 
 THE GIGANTIC WHEEL. 
 
 This marvellous piece of mechanical skill was commenced early 
 last year, and is one of the engineering triumphs of the age. It has 
 an altitude, of 300 feet. The axle, which is 7 feet in diameter, is 
 supported on eight columns 150 feet in height. Around the wheel 
 are swung 40 cars, which are 24 feet long by 9 feet wide. They are 
 10 feet high and weigh 5^ tons each. Each of these cars is capable 
 of holding from 30 to 40 passengers. The Promenade at the top of 
 the Towers will be reached by a water-balanced lift, which will make 
 frequent journeys in both directions. H.R.H. the Princess of Wales, 
 the Princesses Victoria and Maud of Wales, the Crown Prince of 
 Denmark, the Duke and Duchess of Sparta, Prince Maximilian of 
 Baden, the Duke and Duchess of York, Princess Louise (Duchess of 
 Fife), Prince Adolphus of Teck, Prince Francis of Teck, attended by 
 Mdlle. Contastavalas, the Hon. Mrs. C. Hardinge, Miss Rnollys, 
 Captain Bull, Colonel Sapountzakis, and Major-General Stanley 
 Clarke, were passengers on the first complete revolution of the Great 
 Wheel. Surrounding the Wheel are a number of buildings, in which 
 is given, during the day and evening, performances by Hindu Snake 
 Charmers, Jugglers, Acrobats, Fakirs, and in Irani's Indian Menagerie 
 are some monster Pythons and many Indian animals, including a 
 wrestling lion. 
 
 We now cross to the 
 
 WESTERN GARDENS, 
 
 which have been re-decorated with Indian scenery. The Switchback 
 Railway, which for some years has proved such a source of delight to 
 young and old, has been retained. 
 At the end of the Gardens, 
 
 THE ROTUNDA, 
 
 another large building, has been erected. It is used for Exhibitions 
 of an attractive nature, and these will be varied from time to time. 
 The ( rardens, always beautiful, are now rendered more attractive than 
 ever. The elaborate scheme of illumination which has been adopted 
 is not surpassed by any of the famous gardens in Continental Cities, 
 and will undoubtedly prove a great feature of the Exhibition. In fine 
 weather one of the Military Bands will play in the Pavilion. On 
 rainy days they will be placed in the buildings opposite. In our un- 
 certain climate I have been compelled to provide for inclement 
 weather, and have, therefore, arranged covered places, which at such 
 
IMBB kiealpy's inxeoduction. 15 
 
 times will bo occupiod by tho Bands ; so that tho public may always 
 be provided with music in conveniont places at all times and in any 
 weather. 
 
 In the Quadrant Dining Eooms Messrs. Spiors and Pond will pro- 
 vide dinners in their best style. 
 
 Adjoining the building commences the handsome lawn attached to 
 
 THE OLD WELCOME CLUB. 
 
 This Club was founded in 1887, and has been a continuous and 
 popular feature on its present site since that time. It was formed for 
 the purpose of welcoming distinguished American guests to the 
 American Exhibition, and it will this year be the scene of welcome to 
 many native Princes and other distinguished guests from " India's 
 coral strand." The Club has this year been thoroughly re-decorated 
 and re-furnished, and will prove a still more welcome place of retreat 
 for its hundreds of members and their friends. 
 
 Having now made a complete circuit of the spacious Grounds let us 
 return to the Imperial Gardens, and, again passing through them, 
 reach the largest Temple of Thespis ever specially erected — 
 
 THE EMPRESS THEATRE. 
 
 The span of the roof of this magnificent iron structure is only sur- 
 passed by one in England, being 220 feet. The height of the roof from 
 the ground to the top of the lantern is 117 feet. It is capable of seat- 
 ing over 5,000 persons, not one of whom will be disturbed by pillar, 
 post, or any other obstruction, while each tier of seats is sufficiently 
 elevated to enable its occupants to see every portion of the stage. The 
 corridors are very wide, and there are two handsomely-decorated and 
 spacious fevers. 
 
 The whole of the decorations this year are of an Indian character, 
 and resemble some of the most beautiful and prominent of their 
 ornamental work in that respect. The stage is 315 feet i?i width and 
 100 feet in depth, so there is ample room in which to produce the most 
 important incidents of Indian History with fidelity to life which no other 
 stage in the world would permit, and also enables me to present those 
 combinations of colour and groupings on a large scale which so greatly 
 add. to the perfection of cur spectacular creations. 
 
 Of the production itself I must leave the public to judge; as its 
 author I am naturally and discreetly dumb, but if it meets with the 
 same generous approval that was accorded to my "Nero" and 
 " Venice " I shall be more than gratified. Suffice it to say that we 
 have spared neither pains nor expense to the end that its spectacular 
 portion may be worthy of our ambitious endeavour to make the 
 Empire of India Exhibition a memorable one, not only for the 
 variety of amusements it will furnish, or the instruction it will impart 
 to many, but for the pleasure and gratification it will afford to 
 those who, well acquainted with the country, feel interested in the 
 history of a land so closely associated with England's power and 
 prosperity as the 
 
 EMPIRE OF INDIA. 
 
 IMRE KIRALFY. 
 
THE BRITISH INDIAN EMPIRE. 
 
 It will not be possible, in the limited space that can be spared 
 for the purpose in this Catalogue, to give more than a very brief and 
 general idea of the magnitude, and political and commercial 
 importance, of the collection of countries known under the name of 
 British India. Their area is thirteen times that of the British 
 Isles, and is occupied by a population of some three hundred 
 millions of people of widely differing races, speaking many 
 languages, following various religions of the deepest antiquity, 
 observing strange and diverse customs, and enjoying almost every 
 varying state of civilization. But although the people belong to 
 such mixed races and creeds, they are all as one in devoted 
 loyalty and gratitude to the Kaisar-i.-Hind, Her Most Excellent 
 Majesty the Queen of the United Kingdom and Empress of India, 
 for the manifold and incalculable blessings her peaceful and 
 beneficent government has conferred upon them. 
 
 It should be noted with pride by every Englishman that this 
 immense Empire has a population more than double that of all the 
 variouH peoples and nations which, according to Gibbon, obeyed the 
 mandates of Imperal Rome when at the zenith of her power. The 
 really amazing extent of the British Empire, and the predominant 
 position India holds in it both in regard to population and wealth, 
 is well shown in the following table ; —

THE BRITISH INDIAN EMPIllE. 
 
 19 
 
 The great and paramount influence that the quest and posses- 
 sion of India has had on the English people in stimulating them in 
 adventure and colonization, is too apt in these days to be forgotten 
 or decried. Sir George Birdwood, who forcibly points out that the 
 great middle class of this country practically owes its existence to 
 the Elizabethan merchant adventurers, says* : — " Da Gama's dis- 
 covery changed the face of Europe from tho Mediterranean to 
 the Atlantic ; and the British Isles, which had before been wasting 
 in the obscurity of their native fogs, were at once placed in tho 
 forefront of the new line of human advancement; and, as the 
 geographical centre of the four continents of the globe, they 
 became, in the course of the next 200 years, the common emporium 
 of the whole sea-borne merchandise of the world. The establish- 
 ment of the East India Company was the first step in the prodigious 
 political development of England under the rule of Oliver Crom- 
 well and during the reigns of William III. and Queen Anne ; and, 
 all through the great wars that grew out of the French Revolution, 
 it proved the chief corner-stone of our unabated mercantile pros- 
 perity and naval supremacy. The possession of India, tho command 
 it3 possession gave us of the trade with the East, alone enabled us 
 to contend victoriously against the European coalition with which 
 Buonaparte threatened our industrial ascendency at the beginning 
 of the present century, and the peaceful possession of India is 
 our chief stay in sustaining the preponderating productiveness and 
 maritime pre-eminence of these islands in the crushing commercial 
 competition marking its end." 
 
 The Country. 
 
 India proper has been described as an irregular triangle, 
 stretching southwards from mid-Asia into the ocean. Its northern 
 base rests upon the Himalayan ranges; the chief part of its 
 western side is washed by the Arabian Sea, and its eastern side by 
 the Bay of Bengal. From north to south it has a length of some 
 1,900 miles, and its extreme width from east to west is about tho 
 same distance. To this compact dominion the English have added 
 Burma, the strip of country lying between India proper on tho 
 west and the Chinese and Siamese territories. The whole con- 
 tinent contained within these boundaries is generally know:: as 
 British India, and has an area of 1,560,160 square miles, of which 
 064,993 square miles belong to the British Provinces and 595,107 
 square miles to the Feudatory or Native States. In India almost 
 every variety of climate and scenery can be obtained. In the 
 upward journey from the plains to the Himalayas one passes into 
 the tropical, the temperate, and the arctic zones. In the Hima- 
 layan range of mountains are found the loftiest peaks yet measured 
 on the globe. Mount Everest (29,002 feet), and Kunchin Junga 
 (28,176), over five miles in height.

 THE BRITISH INDIAN EMPIRE. 
 
 The People. 
 
 According to the census of 1891 there were 221,172,952 people in 
 British territory. This shows the enormous increase of 22,312,346 
 since the census of 1881. The population of the Native States in 
 the same year was 66,050,479, which shows the relatively still 
 larger increase of 11,117,571 since 1881. This gives the vast 
 number of 287,222,431 as the grand total population of British 
 India, or about one-fifth of the estimated total inhabitants of the 
 world. 
 
 The people of India can be broadly divided into four well- 
 marked groups. These are : First, the Aborigines ; second, the 
 Brahmans and Rajputs, offsprings of the Aryan or Sanskrit-speak- 
 ing race ; third, the great mixed population, generally known as 
 Hindus ; and fourth, the Mahomedans. The principal religions 
 followed by the people were : — 
 
 Hindus. 
 
 Mahomedans. 
 
 Buddhists. 
 
 Christians.

 Sixty per cent, of the population are engaged in agriculture. 
 The people are most unevenly distributed ; for instance, in the 
 Gangetic system of Bengal we find the land densely packed with 
 husbandmen to the extent of an average of 435 per square mile, 
 whilst in Upper Burma we find but the sparse population of 35 to 
 the mile. 
 
 The number of occupied houses returned in the last census was 
 52,932,102, collected in 717,549 towns and villages. The number 
 of large cities in India is remarkably small. The towns with over 
 100,000 inhabitants only number some 28 or 30. In the table 
 below are given the populations of the first eight cities in British 
 India in the order of their magnitude, and for comparison the

 Although the population of India is immense, when compared 
 with Great Britain, it will be seen that the total population of the 
 first eight cities of India do not together equal that of London 
 alone. In British India less than one-twentieth of the people 
 live in towns ; it is, in fact, almost entirely a rural country, and 
 many even of the so-called towns are nothing but mere groups of 
 villages, in the midst of which the cattle are driven afield, and 
 ploughing and reaping go on. 
 
 Religions. 
 
 The table given below shows that over 90 per cent, of the people 
 of India are followers of various forms of Hinduism, and of the 
 Prophet Mahommed. And next in importance to these are the 
 Buddhists, who are mostly found in Burma. The Parsees, 
 although small in numbers, are a very wealthy and powerful 
 sect in the country, especially in Western India. It will be 
 observed that after three centuries of missionary effort in India not 
 even 1 per cent, of the people as yet profess Christianity : —

 The Government. 
 
 The Act for the better government of India, dated the 1st 
 November, 1858, which announced the resolution of Her Majesty 
 to assume the government of the territories in India, brought to 
 an end the glorious career of the Honourable East India Company, 
 and transferred its entire authority and administration to the Crown. 
 A brief account of the East India Company will be found at p. 53.

 THE BRITISH INDIAN EMPIRE. 
 
 The Government of British India was, by the above Act, 
 entrusted to a Secretary of State for India (at the present time the 
 Right Hon. Henry H. Fowler, M.P.), assisted by a Council of not 
 less than ten members. The duties of the Council are under the 
 direction of the Secretary of State to conduct all business transac- 
 tions in the United Kingdom in relation to the Government of 
 India, and to regulate the expenditure of Indian revenues both in 
 this country and in India. The India Office, a palatial mansion, 
 situated in St. James's Park, is the official seat of the Secretary of 
 State. It is in this office that all the multitudinous administrative 
 details of the Government of India are performed by a large staff 
 of highly-trained officials. It should be noted that the entire cost 
 of this establishment is defrayed from Indian Revenues. The 
 executive authority in India is vested in a Governor-General, who 
 is commonly, though not officially, styled Viceroy, appointed by 
 the Crown, and acting under the orders of the Secretary of State 
 for India. The Viceroy is assisted by a Council of five ordinary 
 members and a Public Works member, and in addition by two or 
 three extra-ordinary members, one of whom is generally the 
 Commander-in-Chief. The ordinary members of the Council 
 preside over the Stato Departments of Finance and Commerce, 
 Home, Revenue and Agriculture, Military, Legislation and Public 
 Works. 
 
 It is somewhat remarkable that a similar distribution of 
 departmental portfolios among the Secretary of State's Council is 
 not made at the India Office ; such a course, it is suggested, might 
 materially diminish expenditure without loss of efficiency. 
 
 The salary of the Viceroy is 250,000 rupees a year. 
 
 The Governor-General in Council is theoretically supreme over 
 every part of India alike, but his actual authority is not every- 
 where exercised in the same direct manner. 
 
 For ordinary purposes of administration British India is 
 divided into thirteen local Governments and Administrations, as 
 follows : — 
 
 Madras. — Area* 141,189 square miles ; pop.- 33,630,440. 
 The great want of the province is a good harbour. 
 The Chief City, Madras, has a pop. of 452,518. 
 The Governor of Madras (Lord Wenlock, G.C.I.E.), is assisted 
 by a Council of Ordinary and Legislative members. 
 
 Bombay. — Area, 125.144 square miles; pop., 18,901,123. 
 
 Has many fine harbours. Cotton is largely grown in this pro- 
 vince, and it is likewise the seat of cotton manufacture in India. 
 
 Chief City, Bombay. Pop. 821,764. 
 
 This is the largest city in British India. The Governor (Lord 
 Sandhurst) is assisted by a Council similar to that of Madras. 
 
 * The areas and populations of the separate provinces are for 
 British Territory only.

 The area and population of the Agency are unknown. It is under 
 the administration of the Governor-General's Agent in Baluchistan. 
 
 The Andaman and Nicobar Islands. — Area, 3,143 square miles ; 
 population about 27,000. These islands are situated in the eastern 
 part of the Bay of Bengal. The Andamans are used by the British 
 Indian Government as a penal settlement. 
 
 The Native States of India. — The administration of the 
 Native or Feudatory States of India is not under the direct control 
 of British officials — but is subject to the control of the Supreme 
 Government, which is exercised in varying degrees. Some pay 
 tribute, some do not. Generally speaking, the States are governed 
 by their native Princes, Ministers or Councils, with the help and 
 advice of a political officer of the Supreme Government. A 
 characteristic feature of all Native States is that in their territory 
 British Indian law does not run As before stated, the area of the 
 Native States is 595,167 square miles, with a population of 
 66,050,479. The more important of the Native States, with their 
 areas and population, are given in alphabetical order in the follow-

 THE BRITISH INDIAN EMPIRE, 
 
 Indian Revenues 
 
 Land Revenue. 
 
 The chief source of revenue in India is derived from the land- 
 tax, and the main "work of Indian administration is in assessing 
 this tax. The land revenue on temporarily settled estates is fixed 
 periodically at intervals of twelve to thirty years ; the longer 
 period being most common. On lands held by petty proprietors 
 the State obtains yearly increases of revenue as cultivation 
 extends; a settler usually enjoys his land revenue free for a few 
 years if the cost of clearing is heavy. 
 
 The Opium Revenue. 
 
 The manufacture of Opium in British India has been a Govern- 
 ment monopoly for over a hundred years — and the growth of tho 
 poppy is strictly confined to the districts of Berar and Benares, in 
 Bengal, about half a million acres being under this cultivation. 
 A large quantity of opium enters the Bombay Presidency from the 
 Native States of Central India, and pays a duty of lis. 600 a chest. 
 This opium is called Malwa opium, and, together with the British 
 opium, is mostly exported to China, where it pays the Chinese 
 Government a duty of lis. 353 a chest. Tho total revenue raised 
 by China from this tax amounts to about £2, 000,000. 
 
 The opium trade of India has for very many years been the subject 
 of a violent crusade b} 7 various anti-opium societies and leagues 
 in this country — bodies of well-meaning, but totally uninformed 
 and deeply prejudiced religious and temperance philanthropists, 
 who have attempted, by working on tho generous susceptibilities 
 of the British public, to force the Imperial Government to prohibit 
 poppy cultivation and opium manufacture in India. At last, in 
 the Autumn of 1893, in a weak moment, the British Government 
 consented to appoint a Boyal Commission to fully inquire into the 
 whole subject. This Commission met in 1894 under the presidency 
 of Lord Brassey, and took a prodigious mass of evidence from 
 over 700 witnesses in this country and in India, of every shade of 
 opinion. 
 
 The Final licport of the Boyal Commission was submitted to 
 the Queen on the 16th April of this year. The results of this most 
 costly and exhaustive inquiry (a cost, by the way, which is to be 
 paid by the British taxpayer), as given in the conclusions arrived 
 at by the almost unanimous verdict of the Commission, was in 
 brief that the medical evidence proved the temperate use of opium 
 to bo not harmful, but in some cases actually beneficial ; and that 
 the anti-opium movement in England has been based on most 
 
THE BRITISH INDIAN EMPIRE. 27 
 
 exaggerated impressions of the evil to be controlled ; and further, 
 that the gloomy descriptions presented to British audiences of 
 extensive moral and physical degradation arising from the use of 
 opium was not borne out by either the witnesses representing the 
 people of India or by those most responsible for the government of 
 the country. 
 
 Salt Revenue. 
 
 The manufacture and sale of salt is almost entirely in the hands 
 of Government, and ranks next to Land Revenue as a source of 
 public income in India. The salt used in the country is derived 
 from four sources : I. Importation, chiefly from Cheshire ; II. 
 From solar evaporation along the seaboard ; III. From the salt 
 lakes in Rajputana ; and IV. From the salt quarries in the 
 Northern Punjab. 
 
 The total revenue derived from salt in 1892-3 was Rx. 8,656,104. 
 The duty on salt in India is Rs. 2£ per maund (82 lbs.), and in 
 Burma Rs. 1 per maund. The total consumption in .all India in 
 1892-3 was 37,314,244 maunds, or about 1,326,000 tons. 
 
 Taking 52 lbs. of salt as the yearly consumption of a family of 
 five, the sum expended on salt is less than two rupees. 
 
 Other Sources of Revenue. 
 
 In India the Excise Duties are collected with the twofold object 
 of raising revenue and of restricting the consumption oi intoxi- 
 cants and narcotics. On all imported spirits, wines and beers, 
 duties are levied. Licenses to deal in imported liquors are granted 
 by the Government, according to the requirements of each city or 
 district. Over a greater part of India distilleries are worked 
 under supervision, and pay a still-head duty. The hill and forest 
 tribes are allowed to brew fermented drinks for their own consump- 
 tion duty free. In different parts of India the Excise Duty greatly 
 varies ; in one province millions may indulge in liquor, in 
 another drinking is comparatively rare ; whilst in a third opium 
 may entirely take the place of other intoxicants. The higher caste 
 Hindus and Mahommedans, as a rule, abstain from drink, and the 
 people generally are most temperate in their use of both intoxicants 
 and narcotics. This is well shown by comparing the incidence of 
 Excise and Customs Duty paid per head by the people of India 
 and of England ; the former contributes only about fourpence a 
 year to the Indian revenue, whereas the latter pays over sixty 
 times that amount to the Imperial revenues for his drink and 
 tobacco. 
 
 Revenue is also derived in India from Provincial Rates, Customs 
 and Tribute from Native States and other sources. 
 
 The following table gives the chief heads of revenue in millions 
 of rupees.

THE BRITISH INDIAN EMPIRE.

 It will be seen from the preceding tables that there was an 
 increase in every item of revenue, except opium, and under this 
 head there was a decrease of nearly three millions Ex. The total 
 increase of revenue of the year 1893-94 over that of 1883-84 was 18 £ 
 millions Rx. The difference of expenditure for the same years has 
 more than kept pace with the expansion of revenue. Under only 
 one head — that of interest — is a decrease to be found, and this is a 
 very small one. The total expenditure for the year 1893-94 was 
 no less than 22£ millions Ex. over that of 1883-84 — or an expendi- 
 ture of nearly 4 millions in excess of the revenue for the year. 
 
 Exchange. — The sterling expenditure of the Indian Govern- 
 ment was, in 1894, about 15f millions. The less the value of 
 Indian silver coinage relatively to gold, the greater the number 
 of rupees required to meet this sterling expenditure. Loss by 
 exchange, is the number of rupees actually needed beyond what 
 would have been necessary if 10 rupees had been, as it used approxi- 
 mately to be, equivalent to each £1 sterling. The table below 
 shows year by year the actual loss thrown on the Indian Exchequer 
 by the depreciation of the rupee below par since 1881-82.

 Railways. 
 
 The railways of India have been constructed and worked on 
 three different systems, with modifications of each, namely : — 
 I. Guaranteed ; II. State ; and III. Assisted lines. For the first 
 Government gave the land and guaranteed interest at 5 per cent, 
 on the capital. If the net profit fell below the guaranteed rate of 
 interest, Government made up the deficiency ; if the earnings 
 were above the guaranteed rate, the surplus was equally divided 
 between the Government and the Company. All the great Trunk 
 Lines of India were constructed on this principle. In 1870 a system 
 of direct State agency in railway construction was introduced, but 
 this was not found successful ; and in 1880 a return was made to the 
 system of State-aided private undertakings, with such modifications 
 as experience suggested. The nature and amount of State assistance 
 now given to railway enterprise varies greatly. 
 
 During the last few years renewed attention has been directed 
 to the great want of railway extension for the proper development 
 of India. The Parliamentary Commission of 1884 stated India's 
 railway requirements to be at least 60,000 miles; at the present 
 moment she does not possess ono-third of that mileage. The 8 
 total length of all railways in India, sanctioned or open for traffic 
 to the 31st March, 1894, was : —

THE BRITISH INDIAN EMPIRE.

 This total of 20,422.|- miles is even loss than the total of 20,598 
 miles possessed by the British Isles. From these figures it will be 
 seen what a large amount of room there is for English enterprise 
 in this direction, and it would appear that nothing but the too 
 great caution and tardiness of Government action prevents the 
 flow of English capital into this most profitable field of invest- 
 ment. 
 
 In a leading article in Engineering of last October on " Indian 
 Railway Development," it is urged that "with the existing rail- 
 ways of India earning a profit of 5 - 46 per cent, on capital expendi- 
 ture, at a time when the railway systems of nearly all countries 
 experience decreased results, some encouragement should be 
 afforded for prosecuting railway extensions, especially when the 
 return in Britain is but 3*6 per cent., in the United States 3 per 
 cent., and in the Australian colonies from 2 to 3^ per cent.," and 
 further it is hoped " that in the future the plea of financial 
 considerations will not be resorted to so often, and never till some 
 genuine effort of financing has been put forth." 
 
 It has been stated with great force by Sir Juland Danvers that 
 " nothing shows the effect of our rule upon India more than rail- 
 ways. New markets have been opened to places previously shut 
 out, commodities have been supplied from sources before unknown 
 to dealers in them, energy has been aroused, and the desire to 
 exchange and barter goods has been increased." 
 
 From the last official Railway Report it is shown that some 45 
 different railway projects have been either surveyed, are under 
 survey, or have been put forward for consideration. The total 
 mileage of hese various schemes is about 5,800 miles, and if 
 sanctioned ould give a vast impetus to railway expansion. 
 
 The follow ng extracts from the Indian Bradshaw show that the 
 railway fares in India arc much lower than in England : — 
 
 Calcutta to Kalka. — 1,116 miles in 38 hours. Fares, 1st Class, 
 Rs. 108.8 ; 2nd Class, Rs. 54.4 ; 3rd Class, Rs. 15.1. 
 
 Calcutta to Bombay. — 1,409 miles in 57i hours. Fares, 1st 
 Class, Rs. 91.11 ; 2nd Class, Rs. 45.14; 3rd Class, Rs. 22.4. 
 
 Bombay to Lahore. — 1,239 miles in 62 hours. Fares, 1st Class, 
 Rs. 77.7 ; 2nd Class, lis. J38.12. 
 
 Or roughly, the 1st Class Fares are l|d. ; the 2nd Class ^d., and 
 the 3rd Class about }d : per mill'.

 The Trade, Industries and Manufactures of India. 
 
 India almost up to the present day has been practically nothing 
 but a purely agricultural country, over 90 per cent, of the popula- 
 tion being either directly or indirectly engaged in pursuits connected 
 with the tillage of the land. 
 
 Agriculture being the chief and most important industry, the 
 Indian Government has established in every province a public 
 department of agriculture, which collects and distributes informa- 
 tion of all kinds respecting the use of manures, rotation of crops, 
 of fodder raising and storing, and in introducing new agricultural 
 appliances. 
 
 Schools for teaching the chemistry and science of agriculture 
 have also been established, and the Government have done much 
 to improve the breeds of cattle and horses. 
 
 The rapid increase in the growth of the people of India, an 
 increase of over 10 per cent, since the census of 1681, and their 
 comparative poverty, causes one of the most permanent and serious 
 difficulties that the Government of India has to attempt to provide 
 for. The diversion of the people into other pursuits than that of 
 agriculture is, therefore, of vital importance to India. There are 
 many signs which would seem to indicate that the people of India 
 are at last awakening to the imperative need of industrial develop- 
 ment. In the Times of the 13th May last we are told that : — 
 
 " The results of the Japanese war are being keenly watched in 
 India. Those results interest Europe chiefly in their political 
 aspect ; to the Indian Press they seem significant mainly from the 
 industrial point of view. India has awakened to the fact that the 
 new enterprises by steam power on which her progress depends are 
 threatened by a competition which will task her energies to the 
 utmost. Indian cheap labour, which has almost driven certain 
 classes of British manufactures out of the Asiatic markets, now 
 finds itself face to face with Japanese cheap labour in the ports 
 beyond the Straits, and with an impending rivalry at the very 
 headquarters of steam manufactures in India. The subsidized line 
 of steamers from Japan, with low freights to Bombay, is bringing 
 India as a whole within the area of her commercial competition, 
 and the war of prices which has hitherto been waged on the mer- 
 cantile frontier in the Eastern seas must now be carried on within 
 India herself. The question is, can the new industrial era organize 
 itself in India with the rapidity and effectiveness with which it is 
 being organized in Japan ? " 
 
 For the erection of cotton mills all over India native capital has 
 been freely supplied, and within the last few weeks the Bengal 
 Provincial Railway has been opened. This is a narrow gauge lino 
 of thirty-one miles, constructed entirely by native capital and 
 native agency, and on joint-stock principles. This undertaking was 
 described by the Lieutenant-Governor of Bengal, when opening 
 

 THE BRITISH INDIAN EMPIRE. 
 
 the line last month, as a land-mark in the history of railway C0tt j 
 struction in India. In many other directions native capitalists are 
 now entering the field of industrial enterprise, and it is hoped will 
 help the Government considerably in dealing with the ever-increas- 
 ing pressure of people on the soil. 
 
 A prominent native official, Mr. T. N. Mukharji, in his " Hand- 
 book of Indian Products," says : — " The indomitable energy of the 
 Northern people, in whose hands the future destiny of India has 
 been entrusted, has at length awakened the numerous nations that 
 inhabit India from the apathy in which they have slept for more 
 than a thousand years after an age of work and progress. New 
 life has now been imparted to this old country, and the cry for 
 progress and advancement has been token up with fresh vigour, 
 and the people are daily awakening to a sense of their importance. 
 
 Vast areas of land suitable for the growth of tea, coffee, 
 
 indigo, tobacco, wheat and other crops, for which an unlimited 
 market can be found in Europe, America, or Australia, still lie 
 uncultivated ; Mother Earth still retains in her bosom coal, iron, 
 copper, gold, and even diamonds and precious stones, unworked 
 and uncared for, and it seems that all these inexhaustible sources 
 of wealth are waiting to be developed by English energy and 
 English capital, to the mutual benefit of both countries. Fortunes 
 lie scattered all over India, ready to be picked up by those who 
 have eyes to see them and the energy and means to acquire them." 
 
 It has been stated by Sir William Hunter that " in 1858 the 
 Court of Directors of the East India Company reported with pride, 
 the total Indian exports and imports of merchandsie by sea at 39if 
 millions of rupees. In 1891 the total, including treasure, was 19G| 
 millions of rupees. In 1858 India was chiefly known as a dealer 
 in drugs, dyes, and luxuries. She is now one of the largest 
 merchants in the world in food-grains, fibres, and other staples of 
 universal consumption." 
 
 The following brief notes on the principal industrial centres of 
 India have been condensed from the Directory of Indian Manu- 
 factures for 1895, a valuable publication compiled by Mr. Sorabji 
 M. Rutnagar, and published in Bombay : — 
 
 Ahmedabad. — One of the oldest centres of cotton manufacture in 
 India, is 310 miles from Bombay. Situated in a district once 
 famed for the best qualities of cotton, and still the centre of an 
 important trade with the interior of India. It possesses 14 cotton 
 mills and many ginning factories. 
 
 The hand-printing of cotton cloths is an old industry of 
 Ahmedabad. 
 
 Barakur, in Bengal, 140 miles from Calcutta, contains the most 
 important iron works in India, the property of the Bengal Iron 
 and Steel Company. 
 
 Bombay, is the chief port on the Western coast of India and 
 largest city in India ; it has a population of 822,000, and is in rail-

 way communication with almost every place of importance in the 
 country. It has a magnificent harbour and well fitted and exten- 
 sive docks. It is the chief centre of the cotton industry, 69 mills 
 are situated near the city. Besides other industries the following 
 may be mentioned : dyeing, tanning, metal-working, wood-carving, 
 furniture-making, and iron works. 
 
 Calcutta, the capital city of India, with a population of about 
 700,000, is situated on the delta of the Ganges upon the Hooghly, 
 one of the mouths of that river. It is the centre of the jute 
 industry ; it has also silk and cotton-mills and numerous iron 
 works. The port is extensive and open to steamers of heavy ton- 
 nage. Calcutta, being the seat of Government, has many fino 
 buildings, but no good hotel. Both in Bombay and Calcutta good 
 hotels are enterprises that await European capital and manage- 
 ment. Numerous minor industries are carried on at Calcutta. 
 
 Cawnpore, in the North- Western Provinces, is a large town with 
 a population of 182,000 persons. It is the centre of a considerable 
 trade in cotton, grain, hides, and other produce, and also the seat 
 of important manufactures in cotton, jute and woollen mills, 
 tanneries, chemical works, and flour-mills. 
 
 Delhi, in the North- Western Provinces, is 890 miles from Bom- 
 bay, and about an equal distance from Calcutta. The popidation 
 is 192,000. It has two cotton-mills and a ginning factory, and 
 also several engineering and railway workshops. Delhi has long 
 been celebrated for its fine arts and industries, including ivory and 
 wood painting, seal cutting, enamelling, jewellery, embroidery, 
 carpets, &c. 
 
 Hyderabad, the capital of the Nizam's dominions. Population, 
 415,000. It has a large deposit of excellent coal within 150 miles 
 of the capital. Among its mineral resources are found iron and 
 other metals and precious stones. In the city and vicinity are 
 cotton and corn mills, engineering workshops, tanneries, dyers and 
 carpet weavers, gold, silver, and coppersmiths, and all the usual 
 small native industries. 
 
 Jubbulpore, in the Central Provinces. Population, 84,481. 
 It has a cotton factory, and a considerable business is done in tents 
 and carpets. There is also a large pottery works (Messrs. Burn & 
 Co.) for the production of glazed drain-pipes. 
 
 Karachi is situated on the West coast of India, at the mouth of the 
 Indus — it is the fourth largest port in India. Population, 105,199. 
 The progress of Karachi being of recent date, it is at present more 
 a depdt and centre of distribution for merchandise than a manu- 
 facturing town. 
 
 Madras. — The capital of the Presidency of that name, is the 
 principal port south of Calcutta, in the Bay of Bengal. Population, 
 452,518. The principal manufactories are occupied with cotton- 
 spinning and weaving, engineering, rice-hulling and cleaning, tile and 
 brick-making and pottery, tanning, oil-pressing and rope-spinning.

 Rangoon. — The principal port of Burma, is situated on the delta 
 of the Irrawaddy. Population, 180,324. The manufactures of the 
 town include numerous saw-mills and rice-mills, iron founderies, 
 oil, ice and cutch works, and a cotton-press. 
 
 Indian Trade. 
 
 The more itnportant of the great staples of Indian trade are 
 cotton, seeds, grain, jute, opium, tea, and hides and skins. 
 
 Cotton and Cotton Manufactures. — This comes first in order 
 of magnitude, with a total trade in 1893-94 of no less than 
 Rx 51,900,000, cr over one-fourth of the total trade of India. 
 For many years past the India raw-cotton trade has been drifting 
 into a restricted groove. The Indian mills do not wish for a 
 superior or long staple, so it may fairly be said many of the largest 
 buyers practically discourage improvement, and India is thus 
 destroyed as a possible source of supply for the English mills. The 
 Indian mills are at the same time compelled to obtain their supplies 
 of superior staples from foreign countries. The trade in raw 
 cotton for 1893-94 is shown below : — ■

 Imports of Asiatic Cotton ... ... ... ... 57,624 
 
 Imports of Non- Asiatic Cotton ... 36,868 
 
 Total 4,883,492 
 
 The growth of the importation of the long-stapled non-Asiatic 
 cotton, which is used for the finer classes of yarns and cloths, is 
 very noteworthy. The increase for the past five years is : —

 There is no doubt the efforts of the Indian mills to produce 
 yarns of a higher count than 24's have been financially successful, 
 and it will inevitably follow that the better qualities will be moro 
 and more largely produced — at first and for some time from

 and will be grown in India when a demand is made for it by 
 manufacturers. 
 
 According to a return made by Mr. A. F. Beaufort, there were 
 actually at work in all India on the 30th June last — 140 mills, 
 with 3,649,736 spindles and 31,154 looms, and their consumption 
 of cotton amounted approximately to 4,278,778 cwt. The total

 Seeds. — The total area under oil-seeds in India in 1893-94 
 was 13,535,025 acres. The trade in oil-seeds of all descriptions 
 has increased more or less during the past six years : —

 The increase in linseed is large, and that of rape is about double 
 the largest previous export of the article. The export of earthnuts 
 has remained almost stationary during the last four years. It is 
 sometimes supposed that this seed is exclusively, or almost exclu. 
 sively, a Madras trade, but this is not tbe case, as the following 
 figures show : —

 The total increase in the value of the exports of oil-seeds in 
 1893-94 amounted to no less than Ex5, 122,236, being 44 per cent, 
 more than in the preceding year, the total exports for the year 
 being ExlG,753,251. 
 
 Grain. — As would be readily imagined, the area under the 
 various food crops in India is immense. Rice has an acreage of 
 over 65,000,000, wheat 21,000,000, and the different millets about 
 40,000,000 acres. The export of rice has fallen considerably lately, 
 due to the effects of exchange and from the competition of the 
 inferior, but cheaper, rice from Saigon and Bangkok. Wheat 
 exports have also greatly decreased, last year having reached a 
 lower level than for any year since 1881. No revival in this trade 
 oan be expected until prices advance in Europe or recede in India. 
 In wheat-flour, however, there is a steadily increasing trade : —

 57,940,000 
 68,446,000 
 
 The trade in wheat-flour is quite a recent industry, and, as will 
 be seen from the above figures, the exports have nearly doubled in 
 the last seven years. The Bombay flour-mills are well managed, 
 and at present very profitable. 
 
 Of the other food-grains — Jawar, Bajra, &c. — the trade was also 
 restricted. In pulses there was, however, a large increase, over 
 850,000 cwt. being exported, more than half coming to the United 
 Kingdom. 
 
 The total export trade in grain and pulse for each of the last five 
 years was : —

 Jute. — The area under jute in 1894 was 2,181,324 acres. Practi- 
 cally all the Indian jute is grown in the province of Bengal. 
 
 The jute manufactures are classed by Dr. Watt into three primary 
 sections : — 
 
 I.— Cloth of different qualities, ranging from substitutes for silk 
 to shirtings, curtains, carpets, and gunnies. 
 
 II. — Paper chiefly prepared from the "rejections" and 
 " cuttings." 
 
 III. — Cordage from the coarser and stronger qualities. 
 
 The indigenous manufactures of jute are very large throughout 
 
THE BRITISH INDIAN EMPIRE.

 Bengal, and the export tables do not by any means show the whole 
 out-turn of gunnies and other jute manufactures. In 1882 the 
 annual home consumption of gunnies alone was estimated to be 
 over seventy-seven millions. 
 
 Most of the jute being grown in one province, the crop is a very 
 uncertain one, depending entirely on the season in Bengal being 
 favourable. This has caused the trade to be a most speculative 
 one, and the whole business is closely analogous to stock and 
 share market transactions. 
 
 There are some thirty mills working jute and hemp in India, 
 giving employment to over 70,000 persons.

 Opium. — " This is an inspissated juice obtained by scratching 
 the unripe capsules of the white poppy (Papaver somniferum) and 
 allowing the milky sap, which exudes thereby, to dry spontaneously. 
 The bulk of the medical article is obtained from Asia Minor, at 
 the present day, as it has been for nearly the past 2,000 years. 
 Indian opium is, however, the most important form commercially, 
 being that which is smoked, eaten, or drunk, in various prepara- 
 tions, by the inhabitants of Asiatic countries, chiefly the Chinese."*

 India."

 Tea. — The cultivation of tea in India commenced to receive 
 considerable attention from the East India Company in the latter 
 part of the last century, and after repeated failures it was at last 
 successfully established. 
 
 The area under tea at the present time is over 360,000 acres, 
 and the cultivation is rapidly extending — in fact to such an extent 
 that some fear is expressed that the supply will soon exceed the 
 demand. 
 
 Dr. George Watt estimates that .£15, 000,000 sterling has been 
 invested in Indian tea-planting since 1840, and that this large 
 amount is nearly all British money. The production of tea for 
 1894 is given at 130,268,289 lbs., and the annual exports arc valued 
 at over £6,000,000 ; the industry gives employment to close on a 
 million natives. Much has been done lately to extend the markets 
 for Indian tea in Australia, the United States and Canada ; and 
 every effort is being made to create a demand on the continent of 
 Europe. It should be observed that the Ceylon tea-planters work 
 with even greater energy, and are vigorously pushing their teas in 
 every market of the world. It is in Ceylon tea that Indian tea finds 
 its greatest rival, but as Ceylon is under the same monetary rigivne 
 as India, whatever success attends the Ceylon tea-planter in the 
 competition is due to other causes than currency. 
 
 The following table of imports of tea into the United Kingdom 
 for the past ten years shows very clearly how completely Indian 
 and Ceylon teas have driven those from China out of the English 
 market. It also shows how rapidly the consumption of Ceylon 
 tea has increased.

 The bulk of the above comes from China, but a substantial quan- 
 tity is from Ceylon. The China tea used in India is of very inferior 
 quality. The Ceylon tea is consumed in India by the Europeans 
 and better classes of natives ; it is brought to Bombay, where it 
 can compete on advantageous terms with tea from Calcutta.

 Hides and Skins. — There is a large trade in hides and skins, 
 both tanned and untanned. The average number of hides exported 
 from India in the five years preceding 1894 was about 6,060,000. 
 Last year there was a large increase, the number being 7,410,000. 
 The trade is kept within limits by the increasing demands for hides 
 for the tanneries in the country. The value of the total exports 
 for the year 1893-94 was Bx 5,801,328.

 According to the trade returns for the official year ending

 Ex 83,097,712, and exports from India to Bx 117,155,181, or a 
 total trade of Bx 200,252,893. The improvement in the whole 
 trade of India for the present year (1894-95) is very marked, tho 
 exports being greater than they have ever been. 
 
 The information regarding the trade in Indian products and 
 manufactures given in the following statistical tables, A to G, 
 has, with but slight modifications, been taken from a valuable

 of India : —

 Note. — It is not intended that this Table should be used in conjunction with 
 Tables C, E and F as expressing the Total Export Trade of India. The object 
 of the present enumeration is to exemplify the value of the exports of Wild or 
 Non-agricultural crops. Raw Hides and Skins are shown here because they 
 could not be entered in Tables E and F. On the other hand the Raw Sugar of 
 Table E includes Palm Sugars, which should most certainly bo given here were 
 it possible to discover the amounts exported as distinct from cane-sugar. This 
 remark holds good also with Wild Silks; a certain proportion of Raw Silk 
 Cocoons and Chasam (Table E) and of the Manufactured Silks (Table F) should 
 be shown here.

 * The returns of Indigo arc not shown here bocause of its enhanced value as a 
 manufactured article. — See Table F. 
 
 f The increasing trade in Milling Rico would render it almost necessary to 
 include this among the products of artisan labour, but the share of enhancement 
 of value by milling is not known. 
 
 X Opium is retained here because of the manufacture being a State monopoly, 
 and therefore hardly an industry of the people. Its high value in Trade Returns 
 is mainly due to taxation, and bears very little relation to the cost of production.

THE LOAN COLLECTION 
 
 OF 
 
 RELICS AND MEMORIALS 
 
 OF 
 
 THE HONOURABLE EAST INDIA COMPANY. 
 
 The end which its promoters had principally in view when 
 planning the Empire of India Exhibition was to present a 
 panorama of the India of to-day — to familiarize the people of 
 London with the products, manufactures, and arts of England's 
 great dependency in the East ; and to some extent to show them 
 the daily life and amusements of the races which make up its 
 heterogeneous population. But, interesting as this portrayal 
 of contemporary India must be to Englishmen of all classes, 
 it was felt that the idea was capable of fuller development, and 
 that something might usefully be done to remind the people of 
 this country of a past in which India has been the theatre 
 of some of the most magnificent exploits of the English race, 
 and which has had an influence on the development of the 
 nation not yet fully realized. It was, therefore, with great 
 readiness that the directors listened to a suggestion to add to their 
 programme an exhibition of relics and memorials of that great and 
 unique corporation which built up for England its Empire in the 
 East — the Honourable East India Company ; and although the 
 time left for organizing the collection was felt to be short, the 
 proposal was immediately adopted. 
 
 This decision once taken, the directors, realizing the importance 
 in a matter of this kind of securing expert assistance and advice, 
 approached Sir George Birdwood on the subject. His great 
 experience in organizing many highly successful exhibitions, and 
 his special knowledge of all points connected with the history of 
 the East India Company, made his co-operation a matter of the 
 highest importance ; and it was with great pleasure they found 
 

 54 
 
 THE LOAN COLLECTION OF 
 
 that he was willing to give the undertaking the benefit of his 
 assistance. Under his auspices as Chairman an Honorary Com- 
 mittee of Advice was formed, including such distinguished names 
 as those of Sir William Hunter, Mr. Clements K. Markliam, 
 and Mr. G. W. Forrest. A circular was drawn up and sent to all 
 former servants of the East India Company that could he traced, 
 and to others who were thought able to assist ; while inquiries 
 were set on foot both in India and in this country, and advice and 
 assistance sought in all quarters whence help was likely to be 
 forthcoming. At the same time an endeavour was made to reach 
 by means of the public journals those who could not be appealed 
 to directly, and a letter by Sir George Birdwood, which appeared in 
 the Times of the 5th February, 1895, rendered yeoman's services 
 in this respect. 
 
 The response to these efforts was most generous and encouraging. 
 The authorities of the India Office, which is naturally the principal 
 repository of relics of the Company, consented to permit portions 
 of their collections to be borrowed. The Duke of Wellington, the 
 Marquess of Lansdowne, Earl Powis, and Lord Roberts of Kandahar 
 each promised contributions; the Worshipful Company of Skinners 
 agreed to lend two valuable relics ; and many others came forward 
 with equally liberal offers of assistance. The results are now 
 before the public ; and it is hoped that, considering the brief 
 time available for preparation, and the many difficulties inherent 
 in such an undertaking, they will be considered not entirely 
 incommensurate with the importance and interest of the subject. 
 
 The full and detailed list which follows will, it is hoped, supply 
 the visitor with all the information he may require regarding the 
 exhibits thus brought together. But as a large, and perhaps the 
 most interesting, portion of the collection consists of objects which 
 derive their chief value from their connection with the history of 
 the Company — a history, moreover, with which most people have 
 but a slight acquaintance — it has been thought advisable to pre- 
 face the catalogue with a brief account of the career of that body 
 of traders through whose enterprise it was brought about that 
 England " holds the gorgeous East in fee." 
 
 As is well known, the Portuguese were the first of the Euro- 
 pean nations to whom came the opportunity of exercising a 
 controlling influence in the Eastern seas. Following on the track 
 of previous explorers, his fellow-countrymen, Vasco da Gama 
 doubled the Cape of Good Hope in November, 1497, and steering 
 first along the African coast as far as Melinda, and then striking 
 boldly across the Indian Ocean, cast anchor before the ancient city 
 of Calicut, on the Malabar coast, on Thursday, the 20th of May, 
 1498. At first only commercial privileges were sought ; but soon 
 other aims were developed, and under the vigorous direction of 
 Alfonso de Albuquerque and his successors the Portuguese became 
 not only the possessors of Goa, Malacca, Ormus, and other towns

 of the highest importance, but undisputed masters of the Indian seas. 
 For nearly a century there was scarcely a whisper of rivalry on the 
 part of other European nations. " Lords " — so ran the proud title 
 assumed by their sovereigns — not only " of the Conquest," but also 
 " of the Navigation and Commerce of the Eastern Seas," their 
 monopoly quickly made Lisbon the western emporium for the 
 wares of the Indies and the richest city in Europe. From Lisbon 
 the goods were transported by sea to the Netherlands for distribu- 
 tion to the markets of northern and central Europe. At first 
 Antwerp was the centre for this purpose ; but the sack of that city 
 by the Spanish soldiery in 1570 utterly ruined its commerce, and 
 the trade in Asiatic products was transferred to the rapidly rising 
 town of Amsterdam. In 1580 two events of capital importance 
 happened. The northern provinces of the Netherlands revolted 
 against Philip of Spain ; and at the same time that monarch, upon 
 the death of Dom Henrique, became King of Portugal. Each of 
 these events had a sinister influence on the fortunes of the latter 
 country. Its union with its powerful neighbour not only involved 
 it in the interminable wars which were the consequences of Philip's 
 insatiate ambition, but also led to its interests being neglected or 
 subordinated to the interests of Spain ; while Philip's prohibition 
 of the trade with Lisbon, in which the rebellious Dutch had for so 
 long found their principal source of profit, led ultimately to their 
 making their way to the Indies themselves to fetch the goods 
 which they could no longer procure at home. In 1590 a iieet, 
 despatched from Holland the previous year, anchored in the roads 
 of Bantam, the principal port of Java, and returned to the Texel 
 in safety in 1597. A second voyage was quickly made, and by 
 1002 the trade had become sufficiently regular for the formation 
 of a general joint stock company, under the auspices of the States- 
 General. 
 
 Stimulated by the success of their Protestant friends on the 
 other side of the North Sea, the merchants of London, who had 
 already made some ineffectual attempts in the same direction, 
 subscribed the necessary stock and petitioned the Queen for leave 
 to make a voyage to the Indies (September, 1599) ; but political 
 considerations caused the voyage to be deferred, and it was not 
 until the following year that the necessary permission was obtained. 
 Four ships were fitted out under Captain James Lancaster, and 
 sailed from Woolwich on the 13th February, 1001. Meanwhile a 
 formal charter, dated the 31st December of the previous year, had 
 been obtained, incorporating the adventurers, by the style of " The 
 Governor and Merchants of London trading into the East Indies," 
 and granting them a monopoly of the trade for a period of fifteen 
 years. The expedition was completely successful. Achin and 
 Bantam were visited, grants of privileges obtained, and the whole 
 fleet returned in safety in September, 1003. The following year, 
 Sir Henry Middleton took out again the same four ships and suc- 
 ceeded in reaching the Malucos. In the third voyage, India itself

 THE LOAN COLLECTION OF 
 
 was for the first time approached, and William Hawkins, the 
 captain of one of the vessels, made his way from Surat to Agra, 
 where he spent some time at the court of the Great Mogul. A 
 lucrative commerce having been thus inaugurated, expeditions were 
 organized almost annually. A succession of voyages opened up 
 trade with the distant Spice Islands and with India proper, both 
 at Surat on the western side, and at Masulipatam on the Coro- 
 mandel coast ; the ports of Sumatra, the Malay peninsula, and 
 Siam were visited, and a factory established for a time in Japan. 
 At home, in the meantime, Elizabeth's successor granted the 
 Company a charter (1609), which confirmed its privileges for an 
 unlimited term ; and on that basis a joint stock was formed, which 
 greatly enlarged the sphere of its operations, and gave a con- 
 tinuity that had hitherto been lacking. To the pepper, spices 
 and calicoes which had at first been the staple of its imports, 
 indigo, silk, saltpetre, and other products were gradually added. 
 In 1615 Sir Thomas Roe was sent as ambassador to the Great 
 Mogul, from whom he obtained some valuable concessions. Trade 
 was opened up with Persia, and later with Bengal ; and all the 
 world recognized that a power had entered the Eastern seas which 
 had certainly " come to stay." 
 
 The rising trade of the English had, however, many difficulties 
 to encounter. It is not to be supposed that the Portuguese would 
 calmly acquiesce in the loss of their monopoly. Diplomatic 
 remonstrances were backed up by physical force, and the rivals 
 came early to blows at Surat and elsewhere. But resistance was 
 useless unless supported vigorously from Europe, and the Portu- 
 guese pretensions were roughly brushed aside. Soon the real 
 weakness of their power revealed itself, under the vigorous attacks 
 of the Dutch ; and all fear of danger from that side passed 
 rapidly away. The Dutch proved more formidable competitors. 
 Moulded for a time into a certain friendliness by their common 
 hatred of Spain, and their common weakness in presence of the 
 hordes of Asiatics by which they were surrounded, the Dutch and 
 English factors lived side by side at Bantam and elsewhere, rivals 
 indeed in commerce, but in other matters friends, who, as one of 
 them wrote, " would have died one for the other." No sooner, 
 however, had the former danger passed away, and the two nations 
 obtained a firm footing in the Eastern islands, than they fell to 
 quarrelling among themselves. The English company sought the 
 intervention of their sovereign, who willingly undertook to show 
 his statesmanship by composing these unhappy differences. In 
 1619, after protracted negotiations, arrangements were concluded 
 for a species of partnership, by which a joint "fleet of defence" 
 was to be maintained, while the trade was to be divided in certain 
 proportions between the two companies. This compromise, how- 
 ever, proved to be unworkable. Bitter quarrels ensued, and in 1623, 
 upon a ridiculous charge of conspiracy, the English factors at 
 Amboyna were put to death by their Dutch colleagues, — an outrage

 known to history as the " massacre of Amboyna." From this 
 date the English found it practically impossible, as a private com- 
 pany, to make head against a semi-official corporation possessed of 
 much greater resources and backed by the whole power of the 
 Dutch commonwealth ; and though they retained some of their 
 old establishments in Java and elsewhere, they gradually relin- 
 quished the trade in those parts to their rivals. Nevertheless this 
 apparent loss — which bred a bitter feud between the two countries 
 — resulted in a real gain ; for it obliged the English merchants to 
 concentrate their attention on the trade with India proper, in which 
 they soon outstripped their competitors. 
 
 In 1625-26 a factory was established at Armagon, on the 
 Coromandel coast, and a few years later another was started at 
 Viravasaram. Trade was opened up with Bengal in 1638, and in 
 1640 Fort St. George was built to protect the English trade on the 
 Eastern coast. About the same time the Company's vessels made 
 their way up the Persian Gulf to Bassora, and established an 
 agency in that town. 
 
 The Civil War brought distraction and difficulties to the East 
 India Company as to other commercial bodies, and, though their 
 saltpetre was much in request for the gunpowder which was burnt 
 so plentifully, their affairs were soon in anything but a flourishing 
 condition.* In 1649 a rival company, which by license from 
 Charles I. had for some fifteen years, at first under the name of 
 Courten's Association and then under that of the Assada Merchants, 
 competed with the regular Company, was absorbed on the formation 
 of a fresh joint-stock. Later on the victories of Blake depressed 
 the power of the Dutch, and the Treaty of Westminster wrung 
 from them, amongst other things, a large sum as compensation 
 for the damages they had inflicted on their English rivals. By 
 about 1657 the fortunes of the Company had reached a low ebb. 
 Indeed for some time the trade to India lay open to all comers. 
 After much hesitation, Cromwell gave an exclusive charter in 
 that year, but nothing is known as to its terms. 
 
 The Restoration, however, brought brighter days, and in 1661 
 a charter was obtained, confirming all their former privileges, 
 and adding some fresh ones. Under the guidance of the famous 
 Sir Josia Child, the Company's trade increased by leaps and bounds. 
 The value of the annual imports from Bengal alone rose in twenty- 
 three years from £8,000 to .£300,000. India hundred-pound stock 
 went up from .£'70 in 1664 to £300 in 1681, and later, it is said, to 
 as much as five times the original value of the share. Large 
 
 * This is the most obscure portion of the Company's history. The 
 late Mr. Sainsbury's invaluable series of Calendars of the State 
 Papers, dx., relating to the East Indies extends only to 1634, and for 
 the events botwecn that date and the period dealt with by Sir Henry 
 Yule in his Diary of Willia7n Hedges (Hakluyt Society, 1880-88), the 
 student has little to guide him save the bald and inconsequent narra- 
 tive of Bruce.

 fortunes Were made by speculations in the Company's scrip, and 
 Child himself was said to have amassed from this source alone an 
 estate of twenty thousand a year. 
 
 Such prosperity, however, was not without drawbacks. The 
 prospect of such enormous gains induced many " interlopers " — 
 unlicensed traders — to take the risk of punishment for infringing 
 the Company's monopoly, and to send ships to India on their own 
 account ; whilst the murmurs of other merchants, who saw them- 
 selves excluded — by a royal grant unconfirmed by the representa- 
 tives of the people — from all chance of participation in this profit- 
 able trade, grew gradually louder and louder. While the Stuarts 
 retained the throne, their high notions of the royal prerogative, 
 and the court influence gained by Child's profuse bribery, secured 
 the charter-holders in their monopoly. But when James JI. was 
 replaced by Dutch William and his consort the opposition could no 
 longer be withstood. The Company maintained the contest with 
 spirit, and in 1693 succeeded — by means of a further lavish dis- 
 tribution of money — in obtaining a fresh charter from the Crown, 
 their old one having become forfeited by their clerks omitting to 
 pay at the proper time the tax which had recently been imposed 
 upon their stock. But in the House of Commons, which had now 
 become the principal power in the realm, their friends were in a 
 minority, and on the 19th January, 1694, a resolution was passed 
 that all subjects of England had equal right to trade to the East 
 Indies unless prohibited by Act of Parliament. This vote cut away 
 the ground of the privileges of the Company, and, nominally at 
 all events, left the trade open to all who wished to engage in it. 
 
 The practical benefit of this concession to outside merchants was 
 small, for the position of the Company in India was strong enough 
 to render competition both risky and unprofitable ; but it made it 
 necessary for the charter-holders to obtain parliamentary sanction 
 if they desired to be reinstated in their monopoly. Accordingly, 
 in 1698 they approached the Government with an offer of a loan of 
 seven hundred thousand pounds in return for a renewal of their 
 charter. But their rivals bid still higher, and in July of that year 
 an Act was passed giving the monopoly of the trade to the 
 subscribers to a " General Society " which was to lend to the 
 State a sum of two millions in return for the concession. This 
 sum was readily subscribed ; and on the 5th September, 1698, upon 
 the request of the greater part of the subscribers, they were 
 chartered, as provided in the Act, by the name of the " English 
 Company trading to the East Indies." The old Company had, 
 however, still three years to live, and the competition that ensued 
 soon showed the advisability of compromise. A partial union was 
 agreed to in 1702, and seven years later an amalgamation was 
 effected, which blended both the Old and the New Companies into 
 the " United Company of Merchants of England trading to the 
 East Indies." 
 
 For the next half-century the history of the Company is one of

 expanding trade and peaceful prosperity, until the ambition of 
 Dupleix, the governor of the French settlement of Pondicheri, 
 dragged the Madras factors, first into the vortex of native politics, 
 and then into hostilities which in effect ceased only with the 
 annihilation of French influence in India. Concurrently, the 
 decay of the Mogul Empire left Northern India at the mercy of 
 any adventurer — be he Afghan, or Mahratta, or European — who 
 might be strong enough to seize and hold the reins of power ; 
 and this state of affairs naturally led the English factors further 
 than their masters in London either intended or approved. In 
 Bengal, the need of avenging the outrage known as the " Black 
 Hole " cruelty led to a series of operations which resulted in the 
 virtual acquisition of Bengal, Behar and Orissa as territorial 
 possessions of the Company. This development, and the confusion 
 and corruption of the first few years of the new administration, 
 brought about the renewed interference of Parliament. In 1773 
 was passed the Begulating Act, as it is generally called. By this 
 the office of Governor-General of Bengal was created, and 
 Warren Hastings, the Governor of the Bengal Presidency, was 
 nominated to that post. Three specially chosen councillors were 
 sent out to reinforce the governing body, and the Madras and 
 Bombay Presidencies were placed, in matters of peace and war, 
 under the control of the Governor- General and his council. Eleven 
 years later the main lines of Anglo-Indian administration were 
 completed by the establishment of a Government department— the 
 Board of Control — to supervise the affairs of India. 
 
 From this period the history of the East India Company merges 
 into the general history of the Empire ; and it is not only well 
 known, but far too crowded with events to be adequately told 
 within the limits of the present sketch. The Marquess Cornwallis, 
 who succeeded Warren Hastings in 1786, humbled the power of 
 Tipu Sultan of Mysore, and concluded an alliance with the Nizam 
 of Haidarabad, which has lasted down to the present day. The 
 rule of Sir John Shore (1793-98) was uneventful ; but the arrival of 
 Lord Mornington (afterwards the Marquess Wellesley), as Governor- 
 General, was followed by a series of important changes in the map 
 of India. Tipu Sultan, who had sought to ally himself with 
 the French, and had solicited the landing of a French force in 
 India, was the first to feel the vigour of the new administrator. 
 As he refused to renounce his alliance with the enemies of England, 
 his dominions were invaded, his capital, Seringapatam, was 
 stormed, and he himself was killed in the fighting. The Mahratta 
 princes who occupied the territories to the north and west of the 
 British dominions were the next enemies to be encountered ; but 
 the victories of Lord Lake and Colonel Arthur Wellesley (brother 
 to the Governor-General, and afterwards the famous Duke of 
 Wellington) quickly disposed of danger from those quarters. Lord 
 Cornwallis came out as Governor- General for the second time in 
 1805, but died soon after his arrival. Sir George Barlow, a Bengal

 civilian, next held command, until the arrival of Lord Minto in 
 1807. Lord Moira, better known as the Marquess of Hastings, 
 during his ten years of office (1813-23) completed the work of 
 Wellesley by the final reduction of the Mahrattas, the pacification 
 of Rajputana, and the re-alignment of the northern frontier con- 
 sequent on his successful war with Nepal. Under Lord Amherst 
 (1823-28) Arakan, Tenasserim and Assam were added to the British 
 territories as the result of hostilities with the King of Burma ; and 
 Bhartpur, a strong fortress in Central India, which had successfully 
 defied the forces of General Lake, was carried by storm. The 
 administration of Lord William Bentinck (1828-35) was a period 
 of peaceful reform. Education was promoted ; the burden of 
 taxation was lightened by the introduction of a systematic revenue 
 survey ; steam vessels came into use ; the overland route through 
 Egypt was opened up ; and a system of special legislation for India 
 by the Governor- General and his Council, with the assistance of a 
 new legal member, was introduced, Mr. (afterwards Lord) Macaulay 
 being the first to occupy this post. With Lord Auckland (1836-42) 
 commences a fresh period of strife. An ill-advised interference in 
 the affairs of Afghanistan was followed by the murder of the British 
 Resident at Kabul, and the slaughter of the force posted in 
 that city — a disaster that necessitated the despatch of avenging 
 armies under Generals Nott and Pollock. During the Governor- 
 Generalship of Lord Ellenborough (1842-44), the bind valley was 
 added to the Presidency of Bombay ; and his successor, Lord 
 Hardinge (1844-48) had to meet a formidable enemy in the army 
 of the Sikhs, the inhabitants of what is now the province of the 
 Punjab. A series of hard-fought battles enabled him to dictate 
 peace at Lahore, but the settlement then made was but a temporary 
 one. A second war ensued in 1848, and as the result of a crushing 
 victory at Gujarat, the territories of the Sikhs were annexed by 
 Lord Dalhousie, the new Governor-General. In 1852 Pegu was 
 added to the British dominions on the conclusion of the second 
 Burmese war ; and Oudh was taken over in consequence of the 
 misrule and oppression of its sovereign. Lord Canning, the last 
 Governor-General under the Company, arrived in 1856, and a year 
 later came the outbreak of the Sepoy mutinies, a period of horror 
 which is still fresh in our memories. 
 
 Meanwhile the tenure of the Company was coming gradually to 
 an end. Their exclusive privileges had been continued by succes- 
 sive enactments in 1730, 1744, 1781, and again in 1793. In 1813 the 
 charter was again renewed, but the trade with India was thrown 
 open to all British subjects. The lucrative commerce with China 
 was still reserved to the Company, but upon the grant of a further 
 lease of power in 1833 this, too, was taken from them, and the 
 Company ceased entirely its connection with trade. Twenty years 
 later a brief extension was given, but the right of nominating their 
 civil servants was taken from the Directors, and a system of open 
 competition, with an educational test, was introduced. In 1858

 the inevitable but long-delayed step was taken. The Company, 
 which, since the final extinction of its commercial privileges, had 
 been little more than an intermediary between the local authorities 
 in India and the government of the day, was swept away, and the 
 Crown assumed the direct administration of India, with Lord 
 Canning as the first Viceroy and Governor-General. 
 
 Such, in barest outline, is the story of the connection of England 
 with the great empire of the East, so far as is needed to illustrate 
 the contents of the present exhibition. On the importance of that 
 connection, both in the past and in the present, there is surely little 
 need to dwell. Even less obvious points — such as the value of the 
 outlets thus afforded to English manufactures, the stimulus given to 
 navigation and so to the development of that sea-power which has 
 been the dominant factor of our prosperity, the share that the 
 systematic establishment of distant settlements has had in evolving 
 that capacity for colonization and administration which appears to 
 differentiate the English from other European nations — might 
 furnish materials for lengthy treatment, and here can but be alluded 
 to in passing. 
 
 The early portion of the history of the East India Company is 
 naturally the period for which it is most difficult to find relics in 
 any abundance. Of unique interest is the book of minutes of 
 meetings held by the court of the Company from its inception in 
 September, 1599, to the 28th June, 1603, for the loan of which the 
 Directors have to thank the Secretary of State for India in Council. 
 This volume, the first of a long series which, though unfortunately 
 not quite complete, extends to the dissolution of the Company in 
 1858, is of the highest value, not only for its associations, but also 
 for the information it supplies as to the formation of the Company, 
 and the arrangements made for the first voyage. It was repro- 
 duced in 1886 at the expense of an American gentleman, the late 
 Mr. Henry Stevens, of Vermont, with an admirable introduction 
 by Sir George Birdwood. Another volume, similarly reproduced by 
 Mr. Quaritch in 1893, is also shown, by the liberality of the India 
 Office ; this is the first letter-book of the Company, extending 
 from 1600 to 1619, and containing many quaint and valuable docu- 
 ments. By the kindness of the Worshipful Company of Skinners, 
 Sir Thomas Smythe — who was virtually the founder of the East 
 India Company, and was its Governor almost uninterruptedly for 
 the first twenty years of its existence)— is worthily represented by 
 a portrait which is preserved at the Skinners' Hall in memory of 
 his benefactions to that company. The unique collection of 
 charters lent by the India Office commences with an illuminated 
 copy on vellum of the charter of James I. (1609), for engrossing 
 which the Company made arrangements in January, 1610 
 (Calendar of Slate Papers : East Indies, 1513-1616, p. 203) ; 
 and scarcely less interesting is the original letter addressed by 
 
62 
 
 THE LOAN COLLECTION OF 
 
 James I. to the Shah of Persia in 1622, which was pointed out 
 by Mr. F. C. Danvers in his recent researches in the Dutch 
 archives, and was thereupon presented to the India Office 
 by its possessors, the Royal Antiquarian Society of Amsterdam. 
 Passing by several of Mr. Griggs's clever reproductions of minor 
 patents, we find the warrant (1655) of the Lord Protector for the 
 repayment to the Company of its loan to the State of £'50,000, a 
 document which is particularly remarkable for the fine impression 
 attached to it of the great seal of the Commonwealth ; and this is 
 followed, under date 1657, by a petition in original to Cromwell 
 for protection of the home-coming ships (England was then at 
 war with Spain), together with the Protector's reference of the 
 matter to the Commissioners of the Admiralty. 
 
 The second period of the East India Company's history is 
 marked by the charter given by Charles II. in 1661 — the oldest 
 of the general charters now extant. Then come the letters 
 patent granting to them the island of Bombay, which had 
 passed into the possession of the English Crown as part 
 of the dowry of the Merry Monarch's Portuguese bride ; also the 
 tally sticks, lent by Sir George Birdwood, for several of the yearly 
 payments of £ 10, which, in accordance with the provisions of that 
 grant, had to be paid as quit-rent for the island. Mention may also 
 be made in this connection of the contribution of Mr. James Douglas, 
 the author of " Bombay and Western India," viz., two original 
 promissory notes issued at Bombay in 1678-79, and bearing the 
 seal of the Company, and the autographs of Sir John Child and his 
 associates. The charter of 1693, which, as readers of Macaulay 
 will remember, brought about the downfall of the Duke of Leeds, 
 is next to be noticed, and ushers in the period of the struggles 
 between the Old and the New Companies. Three men prominent in 
 the turmoil — Sir Josia Child, his zealous opponent Thomas Papillon, 
 and Streynsham Master, who was governor of Fort St. George from 
 1678 to 1681, under the Old Company, and afterwards became an 
 active member of the directorate of the New — are represented by 
 portraits and other relics; and further contributions recall Job Char- 
 nock, the founder of Calcutta, and Thomas Pitt, the grandfather of 
 Lord Chatham. The books of original subscriptions to the loan of 
 two millions raised (as already mentioned) in 1698, are of the lushest 
 interest, for they contain the autographs of all the principal nun of 
 substance of the time; while at the loot of each page are seen the 
 signatures of the Commissioners appointed to receive the sub- 
 scriptions.* Following this come the charter granted to (he New

 f ory, ch. xx'm). There had been some doubt whether the whole sum

 Company as the result of the success of the loan, and the grant of 
 arms to that body, dated 13th October, 1698. It will be noticed 
 that these were the arms adopted for the United Company upon 
 the amalgamation of the two associations in 1709. 
 
 Of the quiescent period between 1709 and 1744, we have but few 
 reminders ; though mention may be made of the three views of the 
 presidency towns of India belonging to this period, which have 
 been reproduced by Mr. Griggs from the pictures painted by 
 Lambert and Scott for the decoration of the court room of the 
 East India House, and now at the India Office. The commence- 
 ment of the wars in Southern India, with the consequent develop- 
 ment of the Company into a military power, is signalled by a 
 facsimile of the letter from Fort St. David announcing the capture 
 of Madras by the French (10th September, 1746) ; while a portrait 
 of Governor Holwell, engaged in sivperintending the erection of a 
 monument to the memory of his fellow-sufferers, recalls the 
 " Black Hole " cruelty which sent a thrill of horror through all 
 English hearts ten years later, and led to such momentoiis con- 
 sequences in Bengal. Robert Clive is represented by his tent and 
 Dance's fine portrait (both lent by Earl Powis), and by an auto- 
 graph letter ; while in the case of his friend and fellow-soldier, 
 Stringer Lawrence, Lord Boberts and Mr. Forrest contribute en- 
 gravings of the portrait by Sir Joshua Reynolds, now in the Council 
 Boom at the India Office. A copy of the full length likeness 
 of Sir Eyre Coote, which occupies the same distinguished 
 position, is exhibited by the present representative of the 
 family, who also lends a valuable relic in the shape of the sword 
 presented to his ancestor by the East India Company in 1764. Of 
 Warren Hastings, the first and greatest of the Governors-General, 
 
 " citizens, with their money in their hands, pressed in, pushing and 
 " elbowing |each other. The guineas were paid down faster than the 
 " clerks could count them. Before night six hundred thousand pounds 
 " had been subscribed. The next day the throng was as great. More 
 " than one capitalist put down his name for thirty thousand pounds. 
 " To the astonishment of those ill-boding politicians who were constantly 
 " repeating that the war, tho debt, the taxes, the grants to Dutch cour- 
 " tiers, had ruined the kingdom, the sum, which it had been doubted 
 " whether England would be able to raise in many weeks, was subscribed 
 "by Ldndon in a few hours. The applications from the provincial 
 " towns and rural districts came too late. The merchants of Bristol 
 " had intended to take three hundred thousand pounds of the stock, but 
 " had waited to learn how the subscription went on before the} ga e 
 " their final orders; and by the time that the mail bad gone down to 
 " Bristol and returned, there was no more stock to be had." 
 
 It seems ungracious to cavil at details iu this graphic description : 
 hut it may be seen from the books themselves that (excluding the Old 
 Company's subscription of £315,000, which is entered under the name 
 of their treasurer, John du Bois) the largest amount set against any 
 individual name was €20,000, and that the total subscribed on the 
 first day was only a little over £500,000.

 THE LOAN COLLECTION OP 
 
 there are several portraits (including one by Sir Thomas Lawrence) 
 and some minor relics ; while an original ticket of admission to his 
 trial, which Mr. Quekett has been good enough to place at the 
 disposal of the Directors, revives the memory of the lengthy 
 ordeal of his impeachment. 
 
 From this point the collection increases with a rapidity which 
 makes selection difficult. The multiplied activity of the Company is 
 reflected in the number and diversity of the objects available for 
 exhibition. The achievements of the Indian armies are com- 
 memorated by pictures of the battles of Kirki, Gujarat, Sitabaldi, &c , 
 and of the storming of Seringapatam, as also by portraits or other 
 memorials of Sir Arthur Wellesley, Lord Harris, Lord Keane, Sir 
 James Outram, Sir Charles Napier, Sir Henry Havelock, and 
 others ; while scarcely less interesting to the student of military 
 history are the specimens of uniforms, the numerous examples of 
 medals granted for service in India, and General Newali's model of 
 an elephant battery, a species of armament long since abandoned. 
 The civil side of the Company's administration is represented by 
 many relics and a series of portraits of some of the most distinguished 
 of their servants, amongst others of Sir Thomas Munro, Sir Herbert 
 Maddock, Mountstuart Elphinstone, Sir Bartle Frere, and Sir 
 Henry Bawlinson. The Company's fine fleet of Indiamen, with its 
 proud traditions of seamanship and daring, finds a fitting memorial 
 in a number of paintings of some of the most famous of their ships, 
 as well as in representations of such well-known incidents as the 
 action off Pulo Aor in 1804 (when Commodore Dance, with a number 
 of Indiamen, put to flight a squadron of French men-of-war and 
 saved from capture a merchant fleet said to have been of the value 
 of six millions sterling), the heroic defence of the Astell, the fight 
 between the Warren Hastings and La Piemontaise, and the burning 
 of the Kent. The old Indian Navy is recalled by several 
 swords of honour presented to distinguished members of that 
 service ; while Lord Lansdowne's contribution — the beautiful 
 diamond-hilted sword, of the value of five hundred guineas, given by 
 the Court of Directors to Sir George Keith Elphinstone (afterwards 
 Lord Keith) in 1797 — is a memento both of the brilliant services 
 rendered from time to time to Indian interests by the British 
 Navy, and of the generosity with which such services were always 
 recognized. 
 
 Some paintings of scenes in Canton and Whampoa — the farthest 
 goal in later days of the East India fleets — remind us that the 
 monopoly of tea was, until the abolition, in 1833, of their exclusive 
 right to the trade, an important source of profit to the Company — 
 in fact for a long period the sheet-anchor of their finance. Mr. 
 Carmichael's exhibit of armorial china from Government House, 
 Madras, and the specimens of china formerly in use at the Canton 
 factory, contributed by Mrs. Henry, are of special interest, as but 
 little of the large stock of china ware once belonging to the East 
 India Company is now known to be in existence.

 The various branches of the home administration are fairly repre- 
 sented. Thanks in no small measure to the kindness of Mr. Stephen 
 Austin, a large number of photographs and views of Haileybury 
 College, its masters and its students, have been got together. Sir M. 
 Monier- Williams contributes a unique series of photographs 
 taken by himself while professor there ; and the India Office 
 has lent the original grant of arms to the College in 1806. Of the 
 Company's military seminary at Addiscombe fewer memorials are 
 available, but such as there are will be noticed with interest. The 
 India House itself is represented in many ways. Quite a number of 
 views are shown of the old building in its various stages of expan- 
 sion, from the day of small things when there was a carpenter's shop 
 on the ground-floor, and an effigy of a seaman on the roof, to the long 
 facade of the stately building by Jupp, which many people remember 
 as one of the sights of London. Of the whilom contents of this 
 famous edifice, the exhibits that have been offered are disappoint- 
 ingly few. It is known that at the break up of the Company's 
 establishment in 1858-61, a huge mass of miscellaneous articles 
 was dispersed in all directions ; and it was hoped that this 
 exhibition would have been the means of temporarily recovering 
 many of these and of thus affording some quaint glimpses into the 
 interior economy of the Leadenhall Street establishment. A few 
 have indeed been sent in, notably a teapot with the Company's 
 crest, contributed by Mr. Came ; but on the whole the response 
 has been far from satisfactory. It is hoped, however, that the 
 collection itself may bring the matter before the notice of some 
 who have not yet been appealed to, and who may be willing, 
 before the exhibition closes, to contribute some interesting souvenirs 
 to this branch of the collection. 
 
 A noteworthy exhibit is the chair, kindly lent by the Secretary 
 of State for India in Council, which was occupied by the Deputy- 
 Chairman at the meetings of the Court. The seat of the Chairman 
 is now carefully preserved at the India Office, where it is used, 
 appropriately enough, by the Secretary of State when he presides 
 over the meetings of his Council. The quaint old clock-case 
 which also comes from the India Office is an equally interesting 
 object. Nothing is known of its history, except that it was 
 in the Shipping Department of the India House, and that 
 its works are declared to be more than two hundred years 
 old, though part of the decoration of the case is of somewhat 
 more recent date. The series of casts contributed by Mr. J. 
 H. Mayo of the various seals used by the Company from the 
 earliest date to the dissolution is well worth examination, and is 
 the product of a useful and creditable piece of research. A curious 
 memento of the warlike zeal called forth at the beginning of tho 
 century by tho threatened invasion of England by the French is the 
 collection of relics of the three regiments of Koyal East India 
 Volunteers. These regiments consisted entirely of servants of the 
 Company, chiefly the labourers employed at their warehouses,

 officered by the superior officials of the India House, with the 
 Charman at their head. Of especial interest in this connection 
 are their colours, here displayed, which were found by Sir Geoi-ge 
 Birdwood some years ago at the India Store Depot, and placed by 
 his pious care in the Military Committee Eoom of the India 
 Office. They are tattered and torn in the most approved fashion, 
 but no tale of glory hangs thereby. Only in marches and reviews 
 in London Fields'did these colours wave to the breeze, and damp 
 and the ravages of rats and mice are responsible for their present 
 condition. 
 
 There were names at the India House which were not only 
 known in the commercial world, but in the higher and more 
 genteel sphere of letters. Such, in the appropriate walks of 
 Oriental learning, were Sir Charles Wilkins and Mr. Hayman 
 Wilson, who in turn held the post of librarian there. Such, too, 
 were Edward Thornton, Thomas Love Peacock, James Mill, his 
 son John Stuart Mill, John Hoole (" well known in the literary 
 circle as the translator of Tasso"*), James Cobb (a writer of 
 farces and operas which were popular at the end of the last 
 century), and, last but best known of all, the incomparable Charles 
 Lamb. All of these are represented by portraits, with the exception 
 of Peacock and James Mill. It is to be hoped that likenesses of 
 these may yet be forthcoming, and thus complete representation 
 given to a galaxy of talent of which the India House had just 
 reason to be proiid. 
 
 Two matters remain to be mentioned. The dress of the 
 attendants faithfully reproduces that of the beadle who watched 
 at the portals of the India House — not, indeed, his ordinary 
 uniform, which was of a more sober character, but the full robes 
 in which he appeared on Court Days and other important occasions. 
 Girardt was the last of these worthies, and it is from a photograph of 
 him that the garb has been copied. And, finally, attention is 
 directed to the reproduction!, as an illustration to the present 
 catalogue, of the moulding of the arms of the first East India 
 Company which decorates the ceiling of what is now known as the 
 Church of St. Matthias, Poplar, but in the old days was familiar in 
 all parts of the globe where the Company's sailors penetrated as 
 
 * From the epitaph to his widow in Poplar Chapel. 
 
 t A portrait of Girard in his robes has been lent by Mr. Charlns A. 
 J. Mason, late the Senior Assistant in the Military Department of the 
 India Office, and one of the Members of the Honorary Committee of 
 Advice. This gentleman was unable, owing to absence Erom England, 
 to take any part in the deliberations of the Committee ; but, with a 
 kindness that merits special recognition, he communicated in writing 
 a mass of information drawn from his intimate knowledge of the 
 Company's history, together with many valuable suggestions as to 
 quarters in which suitable exhibits might be sought.

 " Poplar Chapel." Built between 1G42 and 1654 on a piece of 
 ground given for that purpose by the Company, it served the 
 double purpose of a chapel for their Almshouses close by, and a 
 place of worship for the people of the neighbourhood, whose own 
 parish church (St. Dunstan, Stepney) was distant and hard to come 
 at in foul weather. During its long but uneventful history, it was 
 the scene of the ministrations of several men of note in their day, 
 and it still pursues a career of usefulness as a district church, 
 having been handed over to the Ecclesiastical Commissioners on 
 the abolition of the Almhouses in I860. The arms in question 
 were probably moulded in their present position at the time of the 
 erection of the building, and, painted in their proper colours, have 
 been retained through all its structural alterations. It is thus tho 
 oldest relic of the Company still in situ in London ; and this, no 
 less than its beautiful and artistic design, has led the authorities of 
 tbe exhibition to choose it as a fit and appropriate embellishment 
 of their catalogue. 
 
 In conclusion, the Directors desire to offer their hearty 
 acknowledgments of the generous manner in which they have 
 been supported in forming the present collection. To all the 
 contributors their thanks are due, and especially to those who have 
 placed at their disposal exhibits, not only of great intrinsic value, 
 but rendered still more precious by family associations. They 
 are no less indebted to many who were good enough to interest 
 themselves in promoting the success of this effort, particularly the 
 members of the Honorary Committee of Advice, who devoted much 
 time to the consideration of the various offers received, and 
 as to the proper exhibition of the contributions. The Directors 
 wish also to notify that, in the hope of making the collection still 
 more complete and attractive, they have arranged to receive any 
 further exhibits of special interest that may be forthcoming 
 particulars of which should in the first instance be addressed to 
 the Honorary Secretary, East India Company Loan Collection.

 Lord Dalholisie appointed him Resident at Lucknow. He took a 
 prominent part in the events which led up to the annexation of 
 Oudh, though he did not live to see the troubles of which that 
 measure was, in some degree, the cause. Failing health obliged 
 him to sail for England in February, 1856, and he died while the 
 vessel was off Ceylon. He was the author of two well-known 
 works — " Rambles and Recollections of an Indian Official," and 
 "A Journey through the Kingdom of Oudh, 18-49-50." This

 husband were forced to fly, and the latter put an end to his 
 existence. Some months later she was restored to power, and 
 remained in undisturbed possession of her estates until her death 
 in 183G. Upon the British conquest of the Upper Doab in 1830, 
 the Begam submitted to the new rulers, with whom she cultivated

 This lady, the second wife of Captain K. W. Eastwick (see No. 
 327), was originally a Miss Lucy King (see No. 12). Whilst engaged 
 in painting this portrait, the artist proposed to her, and, on being 
 refused, declined to finish the work ; but he afterwards completed 
 it from memory, and presented it to the lady, on meeting her some 
 twenty-five years later. 
 
 As told in Mr. Herbert Compton's Adventures of a Master 
 Mariner, Mrs. Eastwick accompanied her husband on several 
 voyages, and on one occasion, by taking the helm at a critical 
 moment, enabled the ship to make its escape from two Dutch brigs 
 which had attacked it.

 in convoying some transports down the Malabar coast, when, in 
 spite of the treaty just concluded with the Peishwa, she was 
 attacked by the Mahratta fleet, consisting of two ships, a ketch, 
 and eight galivats. Lieut. Pruen, the commander, defended his 
 vessel with the utmost gallantry, and it was only after a desperate 
 fight, and when almost every man on board had been placed liors 
 de combat, that the ship was carried. The Mahratta admiral took 
 his prize into Gheria, where after a short time the prisoners were 
 released and the vessel restored, upon the remonstrances of the 
 Bombay Government. Lieut. Pruen, who had been severely 
 wounded in the fight, was presented with a sword (see No. 185) by 
 the Court of Directors in recognition of his gallant conduct.

 The services of the late Sir Henry Bawlinson, both in a literary 
 and political capacity, are too fresh in the public mind to need 
 description. It may be mentioned, however, in this connection that 
 he was the last survivor of those Directors of the Company who 
 were appointed to the Council of India upon its formation in 1858.

 Mr. George Pigot was Governor of Madras from 1755 to 17G3, 
 and distinguished himself by his defence of Fort St. George against 
 the French under Lally. Having in the meantime been made an 
 Irish peer, he was again despatched to Madras as Governor in 
 1775. His second administration was disastrous. A violent 
 quarrel with the majority of his Council resulted in his being 
 placed under arrest by their orders, on the 24th August, 1776. 
 Eight months later he was allowed to return to the Madras Garden 
 House for change of air, and died there on the 10th May, 1777.

 A replica of the portrait (by an unknown artist) which stands in 
 the Council Boom of the India Office. 
 
 It is scarcely necessary to say that Sir Eyre Coote commanded 
 the Company's forces in India during 1769-7U and 1777-83, and in 
 that capacity rendered the highest service by his skill and energy. 
 His best known campaigns are those of 1760 against the French

 This gun is said to have been captured by the English at the siege 
 of Seringapatam, but evidently had a long anterior history ; for it 
 bears the date 1596, and the names of Philip II. of Spain, and 
 Don Juan de Acufia, Captain-General of Artillery; also a Burmese 
 inscription of the middle of last century.

 THE EARL OF ABERGAVENNY INDIAMAN 
 
 OFF SOUTHSEA. 
 
 By T. Luny, 1800. 
 
 Lent by R. Wordsworth Smith, Esq. 
 
 The name of this ship, perhaps the finest of the Indiamen of the 
 day, is associated with one of those awful disasters which sadden 
 from time to time the maritime annals of the Company. On her 
 voyage to Bengal, in 1805, she struck on the Shambles off the 
 Bill of Portland, and sank with the loss of '247 lives. The Captain, 
 John Wordsworth — younger brother of the poet — went down with 
 the vessel, " dying, as he had lived, in the very place and point 
 where his duty stationed him."

 of Parliament and the dignity of K.C.B., for the assistance he had 
 rendered during the Mutiny. In 1862 he was appointed Governor

 The ship was caught in a fearful hurricane while returning from 
 China in 1830, and it was only through the skilful seamanship of 
 her captain, John Rennie Manderson (see No. 45), that she was 
 able to reach Madras Roads, after throwing overboard her guns, 
 cargo and live stock, and cutting away her masts. A print in the

 disguised as a native horse-dealer, he penetrated the native camp, 
 and obtained information which was of the greatest service to the 
 British commander. The horse here represented was sold to a 
 high native official for ^£10,000, a bargain which brought on Major 
 Mouat the serious censure of the Court of Directors.

 the original system of government was reverted to. The final

 COMPANY.

 Matthias, Poplar. 
 
 A coloured photograph by William Griggs. 
 
 These are the arms assigned to the Company in 1601, though 
 the supporters, crest and motto are not shown, and the artist 
 has transposed the fleur-de-lys and the lions. They were in 
 all probability placed in their present position at the building of 
 the church, and have luckily survived the various "restorations" 
 it has undergone. 
 
 (2) THE CHURCH OF ST. MATTHIAS, POPLAR, 
 formerly POPLAR CHAPEL. 
 
 A photograph by William Griggs. 
 
 The history of the building begins in 1642, when the inhabitants 
 of Poplar started a movement for the erection of a chapel in their 
 district. The East India Company, who, fifteen years before, had 
 founded there a " hospital for the relief of such as have been or 
 shall be maimed or decayed in the Company's service," gave a 
 site just behind their almshouses, besides some building materials, 
 and later on a liberal donation of money. The edifice was com- 
 pleted in 1654 ; it was considerably repaired in 1721, and again in 
 1776. In 1866 the inmates of the almshouses were pensioned off, and 
 the buildings pulled down ; the chapel was transferred to the Eccle- 
 siastical Commissioners, and became the centre of a district parish. 
 The building has since been cased with stone, and its external 
 appearance entirely altered, as will be seen on comparing this 
 photograph with exhibits Nos. 274 and 275. A new chancel 
 has also been built, and some of the monuments — which are very 
 interesting, comprising as they do, several erected to the memory 
 of former servants of the Company — have been moved from their 
 original positions.

 The East India House was pulled down in 1861, and the present

 Parbury, booksellers to the Company, had their premises.

 126. THE CHARTER OE CHARLES II. 
 
 Granted to the Company in April, 1661. This is the earliest of 
 the general charters that have survived. 
 
 The coat-of-arms of the old Company which appears at the top 
 of one of the sheets is of considerable interest. As will be .seen 
 the document has been shamefully mutilated, the greater part of 
 the ornamental bordering, with the vignette portrait of the King in 
 the top left-hand corner of the first sheet, having been cut away by 
 some unknown pilferer.

 127. LETTEE OF JAMES I. TO THE SHAH OF 
 
 PERSIA, 14th February, 1622. 
 
 As already noticed, this interesting document is a result of the 
 researches of Mr. F. C. Danvers among the Dutch records on 
 behalf of the India Office. The letter was the property of the 
 Royal Society of Antiquaries of Holland, who, on finding that it 
 was of interest in this connection, generously placed it at the disposal 
 of the Secretary of State. 
 
 128. THE CHAETEE OF JAMES I. 
 
 Illuminated copy on vellum. 
 
 This, the second charter granted to the Company, confirming 
 their privileges for an unlimited term of years, bore date the 31st 
 May, 1609. The original, so far as is known, is not extant, but 
 the copy now shown is probably the very early one which was 
 ordered by the Court to be engrossed in January, 1610. 
 
 129. GEANT OF THE ISLAND OF BOMBAY, 
 
 27th March, 1G68. 
 
 By the treaty of June, 1661, between England and Portugal, the 
 Island of Bombay was ceded to King Charles as part of the dowry 
 of the Infanta, Donna Catharina. Difficulties were, however, 
 raised by the local authorities, and it was not until the 18th 
 February, 1665, that the island was handed over to His 
 Majesty's representative. The English Government soon dis- 
 covered that the place was of very little use to them, and three 
 years later they transferred it to the East India Company at a 
 quit-rent of £10 per annum. The latter at once sent out instruc- 
 tions to the President of Surat to take possession, and the formal 
 transfer was made on tho 23rd September following. 
 
 130. GEANT OF AEMS TO THE NEW [ENGLISH] 
 
 COMPANY, 13th October, 1698. 
 
 Upon the amalgamation of the two Companies these arms were 
 adopted as those of the United Company, and were retained un- 
 altered until the dissolution. As Sir George Birdwood has aptly 
 remarked, the change, in its substitution of land-lions for sea-lions, 
 and red for blue as the predominant colour, was proph iti • of the 
 approaching development of the Company from a m rca itile cor- 
 poration into a military and political power.

 from the East India merchants, for the despatch of ships to St. 
 Helena to protect the home-coming ships against Spanish 
 privateers ; with an endorsement by the Lord Protector, in a shaky 
 handwriting (it was within ten months of his death), referring the 
 matter to the Commissioners of the Admiralty. 
 
 134. THE FIRST LETTER-BOOK OF THE EAST 
 
 INDIA COMPANY. 
 
 A miscellaneous collection of letters, commissions, patents, and 
 other documents that the Court desired to record " for future 
 memorie," from 1603 to 1619. This was printed in 1893 by Mr. 
 Quaritch, with an introduction furnished by Sir George Birdwood.

 137. THE FIRST COURT BOOK OF THE EAST 
 
 INDIA COMPANY. 
 
 This — the most interesting relic in this portion of the collec- 
 tion — is the volume in which were entered the earliest transactions 
 of the Company, commencing with the list of those who subscribed 
 on the 22nd September, 1599, to " the pretended [intended] voiage 
 to the Easte Indias, the whiche it maie please the Lorde to prosper," 
 and ending with the committee meeting of the 28th June, 1603. 
 It was printed, with an introduction by Sir George Birdwood, by 
 Messrs. Stevens & Sons, at the cost of the late Mr. Henry Stevens, 
 of Vermont, in 1886.

 138. INDENTURE TRIPARTITE OF 22nd July, 
 
 1702, 
 
 between Queen Anne and the two East India Companies, for 
 uniting the said Companies. The second part is also among the 
 India Office records ; while the third is in the Public Record Office. 
 To the present part are appended both the Great Seal and the 
 seal of the " English" East India Company, thus showing it to be 
 the copy retained by the " London " Company; the duplicate in 
 the India Office records must therefore be that formerly belonging 
 to the "English" Company; while the remaining part, in the Public 
 Record Office, bearing the seals of both Companies, is that retained 
 in official custody on behalf ot the Queen. 
 
 139. WARRANT FROM THE LORD PROTECTOR, 
 
 7th August, 1655, 
 
 directing the payment to the Company of the sum of .£50,000, in 
 three instalments. This money formed portion of the £85,000 
 paid as compensation by the Dutch to the Company under the 
 Treaty of Westminster in the previous year. As its distribution 
 was the subject of dispute, the amount had been temporarily placed 
 in the hands of trustees ; but Cromwell, being in need of money 
 for the purposes of the State, obtained the loan of £'50,000 of it, on 
 condition that he gave the present warrant under the Great Seal 
 for its repayment. 
 
 The seal is a notable specimen, in fine preservation, of the Great 
 Seal of the Commonwealth. On the one side is a representation 
 of England and Ireland ; on the other the Commons in Parliament 
 assembled, with the legend " In the third year of Ereedome by 
 God's Blessing restored." 
 
 140. BILL DRAWN BY GENERAL LALLY 
 
 on the French East India Company for £100 advanced him at St. 
 Helena; together with letter of advice of the same, 27th June, 1761. 
 Lally, the commander of the French troops on the Coromandel 
 Coast during the campaigns of 1758-61, had been forced to 
 surrender Pondicheri to the English in January, 1761, and was now 
 on his way home as a prisoner-of-war. As is well known, upon 
 his return to France after his imprisonment in England, be was 
 sent to the Bastille, and beheaded (May, 1766), on a charge of 
 having betrayed the interests of the King and the Company 
 in India.

 which was recently elucidated by Sir Henry Yule, in his Diary of 
 W. Hedges (Hakluyt Society). Beginning as an enterprising and 
 successful " interloper," he later on made his peace with the Com- 
 pany, who in 1697 appointed him President of Fort St. George. 
 This post he held for a period of eleven years, when he returned 
 to England, purchased several estates, and settled down as a 
 country gentleman. He died in 1726.

 As already mentioned (Introduction, p. 6), Child was the guiding 
 spirit in the administration of the Company during the second half 
 of the seventeenth century. He is said to have accumulated a 
 fortune of i>200,000, and purchased an estate at Wanstead, in Essex, 
 which he laid out at vast expense. His son, Sir Eichard Child 
 (afterwards created Earl Tylney), rebuilt the house in palatial 
 style ; but upon his death in 1784, it passed first to the Longs and 
 then to the Wellesleys, and was finally pulled down about the 
 beginning of the present century. The grounds were acquired a 
 few years ago by the Corporation of London for the purposes of a 
 public park.

 Lent by Stephen Austin, Esq. 
 
 The establishment of an " East India College," for the pre- 
 liminary training of the yonng men nominated for posts in the 
 Civil Service of India, was resolved upon in 1804. For a short 
 time Hertford Castle was used for this purpose ; but in 1809 the 
 college was moved to Haileybury, near Amwell (in Hertfordshire), 
 where the Company purchased an estate, and erected a build- 
 ing from designs by Mr. \V. "Wilkins (the architect of the National 
 Gallery), at a cost of between £50,000 and £60,000. The College 
 prospered for a little over fifty years, and numbered amongst its 
 students many of the most celebrated, members of the Indian Civil 
 Service. In consecpience of the changes made in 1853, when the 
 service was thrown open to public competition, the retention of 
 such an institution became unnecessary, and the college was accord- 
 ingly closed at the end of 1857. 
 
 By the kindness of the publishers, Messrs. Constable & Co., a 
 copy of the " Memorials of Haileybury College " has been placed 
 for reference on a desk near the stand.

 and an extremely fine set of the rare and interesting Zodiacal 
 Mohurs, struck (according to Tavernier) by the favourite Sultana 
 Nur Jehan (light of the world), begum of Jehangir Shah, the 
 great Moghul Emperor of Hindustan. It is said that this queen, 
 being ambitious to perpetuate her memory, could devise no 
 better way than to coin a large quantity of money, in her own 
 name and of a different stamp from that which the emperors 
 were wont to coin. In order to effect this, she solicited that 
 she might be allowed to reign as sovereign for the space of only 
 twenty-four hours. The emperor, unable to resist her impor- 
 tunity, at length consented to her request. Having long before this 
 caused large quantities of gold and silver to be accumulated for the 
 purpose, and having distributed dies impressed with the figures of 
 the twelve signs of the zodiac to the cities where mints were estab- 
 lished, on the day of her sovereignty being fixed, she issued orders 
 for carrying the work into execution, and these were so promptly 
 obeyed, that within a few hours she was enabled to have large 
 sums, in both metals, distributed amongst the people. These 
 passed current throughout the empire during the reign of Jehangir; 
 but when his son, who had always been her enemy, ascended the 
 throne by the title of Shah Jehan, he forbade the circulation of this 
 money on pain of death, and commanded that all who were 
 possessed of any, either in gold or silver, should restore it to the 
 mint. 
 
 A series of coins struck by the Honourable East India Company 
 from the reigns of George III. is also included in the collection.

THE HONOURABLE EAST INDIA COMPANY. 145 
 
 on the East Indian station. Upon the conclusion of the Treaty of 
 Fontainebleau in 1763, he quitted the Royal Service for that of the 
 East India Company. Entering the Bengal Engineers, he was at 
 once made Surveyor- General of Bengal, and set to work on a 
 systematic survey of the British possessions in that quarter. The 
 results were published in 1779 in his " Bengal Atlas," a work of the 
 highest importance. Failing health forced llennell to leave India, 
 and settle at home ; but his interest in geographical matters 
 remained unabated, and for over fifty years he laboured in the 
 cause of his beloved science. The Indian surveys naturally 
 engrossed the principal share of his attention, and his map of 
 Hindostan (with the accompanying memoir i, the first edition of 
 which was published in 1783, is perhaps his best-known work ; 
 but he also interested himself in African travels, in the geography 
 of Herodotus and Xenophon, and in oceanography, and kindred 
 topics. He died in 1830, at the age of eighty-eight, and was buried 
 in Westminster Abbey.

 396. FOUE TALLY STICKS— Formerly in the pos- 
 
 session of the East India Company. 
 Lent by Sir Geo rye Blrdwood, K.C.I. E., C.S.I. 
 
 As is well known, the use of tally-sticks as means of account- 
 keeping was once very general, originating probably in a most 
 obvious way of keeping count, namely, by making notches on a 
 piece of wood. The tally at one time formed an important 
 feature in the national system of finance, and was doubtless 
 invaluable in an age when many, even highly-placed, officials 
 found a difficulty in the use of written symbols for arithmetical 
 quantities. It is a striking instance of official conservatism that, 
 as is here evidenced, this cumbrous system remained in use at 
 the Exchequer long after it had been discontinued outside — even, 
 it is said, down to the year 1824. 
 
 Briefly, a tally was "struck" in the following manner: — A 
 narrow shaft of wood (generally box, willow, hazel, or soma 
 other hard variety) was taken, and notches carefully cut on ona 
 side, or, if necessary, on two opposite sides, each ordinary notch 
 representing one pound : shillings and pence could also be sym- 
 bolized, while large notches stood for hundreds or thousands of 
 pounds. The tally was next split down the middle for nearly 
 its whole length, when a side cut. released the smaller portion, 
 leaving the rest of the tally provided with what may be 
 described as a handle. This larger half, variously named the 
 ,; stalk " or " counterfoil," was delivered to the person paying in 
 the money represented, for which it served [as a formal receipt ; 
 
THE HONOURABLE EAST INDIA COMPANY. 
 
 147 
 
 the other part, known as the "leaf " or "foil," was retained in 
 official custody. In cases of doubt or dispute, or of allegations 
 that the number of notches had been surreptitiously increased, tho 
 two pieces were fitted together, and their agreement (whence tho 
 expressive verb "to tally") effectually settled the question. 
 
 Of the tally-sticks now shown, three (marked A, B, and C) relate 
 to the payment of ilO annually made to the Crown for the Island 
 of Bombay (see Introduction, p. 11). They represent the sums paid 
 in the years 1G72, 1078, and 1683 respectively, the first being in 
 fact one of the earliest (the third) of these transactions. The 
 fourth stick is of later date, and for a transaction of a different 
 character. It is a voucher for the payment, in April, 1693, of the 
 sum of £'9,300 due from the Company as the first quarterly pay- 
 ment of the special tax of five per cent, levied on their stock by 
 Act 4 TV. and M., c. 15. It was the failure to make this very pay- 
 ment by the appointed day (25th March, 1093) which invalidated 
 the charter then in force, and necessitated an application for a new 
 one.

 General and Commander-in-Chief. He was first appointed in 1786, 
 succeeding Warren Hastings, who had returned to England the 
 previous year ; and he remained in office till 1793. The most 
 striking feature of his Governor-Generalship was the Second 
 Mysore War, in which he commanded in person, and dictated 
 term of peace to Tipu Sultan under the walls of Seringapatam. 
 After his return to Europe he was Viceroy and Commander-in- 
 Chief in Ireland during the rebellion of 1798, and the passing of 
 the Act of Union ; and British plenipotentiary for the Peace of 
 Amiens. In 1805 ho was induced to resume his former position

 SIR AETHUE PHAYRE. 
 
 Lent by Dr. F. J. Mount. 
 
 He was first Chief Commissioner of Lower Burma after its 
 amalgamation. Of him it is written in the " History of India," 
 " that it was singularly fortunate, almost from the commencement 
 of our rule, that it enjoyed the services of one of the E.I. Company's 
 great administrators." It is to his talent and energy that it owes 
 the system of administration which forms the hasis of its pros- 
 perity. " The people regarded him with affectionate reverence, 
 and his memory is still fresh in their remembrance."—" Marsh- 
 man's History of India."

 General Eyre entered the Bengal Artillery in 1828. In 1839 ho 
 was made Commissary of Ordnance with the Kabul Field Force, 
 and was severely wounded in the fighting that followed the insur- 
 rection. He and his wife were among the earliest hostages 
 delivered to the Afghans. Their sufferings from cold, hunger, and 
 the misery of expectation of violent deaths are recorded in 
 General Eyre's journal, published soon after their rescue by 
 General Pollock's forces. General Eyre afterwards served in 
 Burma, and was the first officer who brought victory to our arms 
 in the Sepoy Revolt of 1857. Mrs. Eyre was a daughter of Sir 
 James Mouat. (See No. 58.)

 of forty-seven years (1800-47), and serving as Chairman four times. 
 He represented Bridgewater, and afterwards Bedford, in Parlia- 
 ment for many years, and was also for some time Governor of the 
 Russia Company, and Chairman of the Great Northern Railway.

INTRODUCTION. 
 
 Ix introducing to the public the extensive collection of Indian 
 Art gathered together within the Queen's Palace, the Directors 
 wish to express their thanks to the " Society for the Encourage- 
 ment and Preservation of Indian Art," for their very valuable 
 aid in the department of the Art loan section ; the Directors 
 also wish to thank the gentlemen of Committee, who have so 
 zealously brought together the very interesting and valuable 
 collection of works, in illustration of the history of the East 
 India Company. 
 
 These collections, with the gathering of pictures upon the walls, 
 are the most representative and exhaustive ever brought together 
 in this country, by private enterprise, and are especially valuable 
 as showing visually the conditions of social life in India, and 
 the past and present state of the arts of that great country. 
 
 It will be noticed that in pictorial art, the authorities have as 
 much as possible confined themselves to the works of European 
 artists, who have visited and painted in India. 
 
 The authorities can fairly claim to have brought together a col- 
 lection of works not only valuable as illustrating the people, their 
 habits and surroundings, in a very conclusive way, but also 
 notable from the artistic quality of the works themselves. It 
 would be invidious for the Directors to select from the exhibitors 
 any names for especial mention, but they wish to express their 
 keen appreciation of the great assistance rendered to the Exhi- 
 bition, by the generous way in which the many artists and owners, 
 have responded to the invitation of the Company. To them the 
 Directors beg to tender their best thanks. 
 
 In the body of the catalogue will be found comprehensive essays, 
 on the various branches, into which the Art loan section is 
 divided; it is, therefore, unnecessary for me to particularize any of 
 the objects contained therein. I will only call the attention of the 
 public, to the very interesting objects, which illustrate the founda- 
 tion and growth of our Indian Empire, amongst which are the 
 various memorials of Lord Clive and Tippoo Sahib. 
 
 Amongst the illustrious patrons of the Exhibition are the following 
 
170 
 
 INTRODUCTION. 
 
 to whom the thanks of the Directors 
 
 Princes and Nobles of India, 
 are especially due : — 
 
 H.H. the Maharajah of Travancore, G.C.S.I. 
 
 H.H. the Maharajah Sayaji Eao Guicowar of Baroda, G.C.S.I. 
 
 H.H. the Maharajah Rawal Shri Takthsinghi of Bhaunagar, 
 
 G.C.S.I. 
 H.H. the Maharana of Oodeypore, G.C.S.I. 
 H.H. the Maharajah of Kolhapoor, K.C.S.I. 
 H.H. the Maharajah of Jeypore, G.C.S.I. 
 H.H. the Senior Rani Sahib of Travancore, C.I. 
 H.H. the Rani Seetia bai Sahib of Wadhwan. 
 H.H. the Thakore of Limri. 
 Shri Rajah Gajapati Rao. 
 The Rani Gajapati Rao. 
 Shri the Rajah Ranga Rao, Bahadur of Bobbili, K.C.I.E. 
 
 The Schools of Art in India were enabled to take part in this 
 Exhibition, only through the generosity of the Directors of the 
 London Exhibitions, who, when they heard the Government could 
 not sanction any expenses, kindly undertook all charges connected 
 with the packing, freight, &c, and the Directors have a lively 
 sense of the obligations they are under to them, for their co-opera- 
 tion in this great undertaking. 
 
 The visitors cannot fail to appreciate the interesting collection 
 enumerated in the catalogue, and I cannot repeat too often, how 
 deeply those who have had the managment of this section, are 
 indebted to the public spirit, which prompted the many exhibitors, 
 to aid in its inception and completion. It is only just to state, that 
 much of the success that has attended the opening of the Art loan 
 section is due to the very valuable assistance of Mrs. David Car- 
 michael, the Hon. Sec. of the Society for the Encouragment and 
 Preservation of Indian Art, aided by the personal efforts of General 
 and Mrs. Godfrey Pearse, Mrs. Paget, Mr. Robert Sewell, Mrs. 
 Cole, Colonel Leigh Hunt, Mr. Candy, and Mrs. Keatinge. To the 
 Committee, and Mrs. Pheroze Thomas, the Secretary of the 
 S.E.P.I.A., we are also indebted, for the most zealous assistance in 
 bringing to a successful issue the object in view, and it will be a 
 cause of congratulation to all concerned if these efforts, in however 
 small a degree, bring into closer communion the Empires of the 
 East and West.

DESCRIPTION 
 
 OF 
 
 PAINTINGS AND STUDIES OF INDIAN LIFE, 
 
 MR. E. L. WEEKS. 
 
 1. The Last Voyage. 
 
 Mr. Weeks painted this picture in 1885. It has been exhibited 
 in the Paris Salon, where it was honorably mentioned. 
 Then it took a first class gold medal at the Paris Exhibi- 
 tion, 1889. Then it was exhibited in Munich, Chicago, 
 New York, Berlin, and Philadelphia. The peculiarities are, 
 " translate the description": — As it happens that one of 
 the Indians that we have here says he knows Mr. Weeks, 
 having met him there, and that the dead body represented 
 in this picture is his own father.

 1889, and afterwards received honors at the Exposition of 
 Berlin in 1891. 
 
 35. The Moti Masjid, or Pearl Mosque, of Agra at the hour of 
 prayer. 
 There is an effort in this picture to express the effect of white 
 marble in sunlight, with its delicate reflections in the 
 shadow. On the border of the tank are seated Afghans and 
 other Mussulmans, some of whom are bathing, and others 
 are reclining. This picture was one of the group which 
 received a grand diploma of honor, which was the highest 
 honor awarded at Berlin in 1891.

 and the marble pavement wrought in intricate mosaic was 
 wet from a recent shower and reflected the colour in the 
 background. Behind the red awnings seen in the back- 
 ground, the Granth, or Sacred book of the Sikhs, is read at 
 certain hours by the officiating priest.

THE SOCIETY 
 
 (Kittouragnnent anb tymzMim of $ttott lai 
 
 The Society for the Encouragement and Preservation of Indian 
 Art was formed upwards of five years ago, to foster the indigen- 
 ous Decorative Arts of India, and to preserve their distinctive 
 characteristics wherever possible. 
 
 It has sought to further these objects by encouraging Indian 
 art workmen, in every Province, to continue in the practice of 
 their hereditary handicrafts, and among Europeans, resident in 
 the country, it has endeavoured to extend a taste for, and to 
 secure patronage of, genuine Indian art. 
 
 The Committee further undertook to stimulate the continuous 
 and systematic expositions of these arts. Having stated this, 
 it will be readily understood, how it has come about, that the 
 S.E.P.I.A. is at Earl's Court, and how it has been their pleasing 
 duty to accept the work offered them by the Directors of the 
 London Exhibition Company, who are so generously and enthu- 
 siastically working in the interests of the Indian artisan and in 
 bringing forward the work of his hands. 
 
 The conception of a Fine Art and Loan Section is entirely due to 
 Mr. Harold Hartley, who was convinced, that a totally different 
 element must be introduced, to make a fin de siecle Exhibition 
 a success. 
 
 For this reason, the Society for the Encouragement and Pre- 
 servation of Indian Art was approached, with a view to secure 
 their co-operation in making a representative collection of art 
 objects, and to obtain their consent to form a Committee to 
 judge exhibits and award money prizes in the Artisans' Com- 
 petition. 
 
 Both these duties the S.E.P.I.A. cheerfully undertook, and the 
 visitor has but to walk through the Queen's Palace, with its 
 long lines of well-filled show-cases, to prove for himself, with 
 what amount of success the work has been carried through, and 
 to realize how energetically the members of the executive staff 
 must have laboured, to bring together articles of such varied in- 
 terest in the course of a few months, from all parts of England, 
 India, Burma, and even the far distant Thibet.

 INDUSTRIAL ARTS SECTION. 
 
 The Arts and crafts of India, as Sir George Birdwood tells us,* are the 
 outward and visible expression of the religious life that animates the 
 people, a life already perfected more than 500 years before the 
 Christian era. 
 
 The Code of Manu, compiled to save the Brahminical sacerdotal 
 policy from the encroachments of Buddhism, formed at the same time a 
 protection to the manners and customspf the country ; and it is owing 
 to this Code that we, to-day, find the life and the arts of the people 
 of India but little altered from the life and arts depicted in the 
 Ilamayana and Mahabaratha, or as described by Greek historians of 
 the time of Alexander the Great. 
 
 The Indian workman, from the humblest potter to the most highly 
 skilled artificer in gold, or the most experienced enamellcr, claims 
 our respect as being an artist in the true sense of the word. 
 
 The material world is not all in all to the Hindu, or indeed to any 
 Eastern ; he lives so much in the region of the imagination, that he is 
 conscious of " things invisible" in a sense that Westerns can hardly 
 realize. 
 
 For the Hindu, the smallest object of decorative industry has its 
 use and its significance. 
 
 Its shape, its weight, its colour have each and all a deep symbolism, 
 rooted in his religious belief, which thus becomes for him a very well- 
 spring of life and inspiration. 
 
 To truly appreciate the Arts of India, a sympathetic and intelligent 
 interest must be brought to bear upon them, and it must ever be 
 remembered that Indian work, whether in precious stones, gold, 
 silver and the baser metals, wood and even clay, is but the " perfected 
 imagery " of national traditions, mythological inscriptions, and the 
 religious poetry of the country. 
 
 1.— GOLD AND SILVER PLATE. 
 
 Owing to the costliness of the material, this industry is necessarily 
 limited, and it is to the native courts and to wealthy visitors, that tho 
 gold and silversmiths must look for patronage and encouragement. 
 
 The Punjaub has from the earliest times maintained a reputation 
 for its gold and silver platy, and from the many examples in the 
 Collection it will be seen, that vessels of the precious metals are made 
 at the present day, and are in general use among the nobles and 
 princes if not among the people of tho land. 
 
 In the North- West Provinces, Lucknow, and Kampur are the two 
 principal places where gold and silver plate is made. 
 
 Owing to Western influence it will be understood, why such things 
 as teapots, milk-jugs, sugar-basins, salt-collars, &c, are produced. 
 
 The chief scat of parcel gilt work has always been Kashmir, whose 
 people would seem to possess a natural superiority over other Easterns, 
 in working out and amplifying good designs in this, as in all other 
 branches of decorative art-work. The clear white silver shining 
 under the gold tracery, which is graven through, " softens the 
 red lustre of the gold to a pearly radiance, and the effect is extremely 
 graceful and charming." 
 
 See bU " Industrial Arts of India," published by Messrs. Chapman and Hall, to 
 which the writer, it will be seen, is deeply indebted thioughout thi.-, Introduction. 
 
INDUSTRIAL ARTS SECTION.

 Until the abolition of the Native Court at Oudh, Lucknow, its 
 capital, was famous for its vessels of gold and silver. 
 
 The surahis, or water-bottles, are so like those of Kashmir, as to 
 suggest their having been derived from that province, the distinguish- 
 ing feature in the Kashmir work, however, being the introduction of 
 the cone or pine, so noticeable in the embroideries on shawls, scarves, 
 and curtains. 
 
 In the Central Provinces, Chanda was once famous for its gold and 
 silver work, but the industry seems to have entirely perished. 
 
 Besides small objects, such as surahis, goblets, trays, &c, in the 
 larger Native States of Baroda, Jeypore, Travancore, Mysore, Hydera- 
 bad and other places, thrones, howdahs, staves of canopies, bedsteads, 
 and cradles, are made of the precious metals, and in the carrying out 
 of such orders the artist is given free hand, being limited neither to 
 time, nor money. 
 
 In Bengal, Dacca supplies most of the gold and silver ware exported 
 from Calcutta. 
 
 Cutch is noted for its silver repousse, which is quite a speciality, 
 and is attributed to a Dutch origin, assimilated by long years of 
 patient and persevering toil to the native style of the country. 
 
 The gold and silversmiths of Bhavnagar are second to none, and 
 under the fostering care and encouragement of their generous and 
 enlightened Prince, produce work of excellent design and skill. 
 
 The Mysore goldsmiths are famous for their delicacy and ingenuity 
 in the engraving and chasing of their designs, while the jewellers of 
 Travancore, produce an infinite variety in forms of solid and massive 
 repousse, as well as of silver filigrain. The exquisite gold jewellery of 
 Trichinopoly finds ready sale among, and is well known to, Europeans. 
 
 2— METAL WORK IN BRASS AND COPPER. 
 
 As metal vessels in India supply the place of porcelain and glass, 
 the manufacture of these utensils for domestic purposes, is obviously 
 an absolute necessity. 
 
 Besides places of pilgrimage, where sacrificial vessels are made for 
 the benefit of the pilgrims, each Province has its chief seat of 
 industry. 
 
 Karnul, Amritsar, Lahore, and Jallunder in the Puujaub, Benares 
 in the North-West Provinces, and Murshidabad in Bengal, export 
 largely into surrounding districts, and through Cabul, Indian brass 
 and other ware finds its way into Afghanistan. 
 
 The soldering of tin on copper as done in Kashmir, and of tin on 
 brass, as carried on in Moradabad, are thus described by Sir George 
 Birdwood : — 
 
 " In Cashmere, tin is soldered on copper, which has been previously 
 deeply graven over, with a diffused floral design, the sunken ground of 
 which is then filled with a black composition, something after the 
 manner of 'niello.' This pretty work is very rare in England .... 
 studded all over with little raised flowers, which shine like frosted 
 silver, out of a groundwork of blackened foliated scrolls, which are 
 traced so delicately as to look like the finest Chantilly lace." 
 
 "At Moradabad, in the North-West Provinces, tin is soldered on 
 brass, and incised through to the brass in floriated patterns, which 
 
214 INDUSTRIAL ARTS SECTION. 
 
 sometimes are simply marked by the yellow outlines of the brass, 
 and at others, by graving out the whole ground between the scrolls, 
 and filling it in with a blackened composition of lac, as is done in 
 Cashmere." 
 
 Benares carries the palm for the multitude and excellence of its 
 mythological images and symbols of worship. 
 
 When the expense can be borne, the households gods are made of 
 gold and silver, and great praise is given in the sacred books to 
 those, who worship the representation of the deities in the purer 
 metals, but brass, copper, wood, and clay are more general. 
 
 Ordinary vessels for domestic use are not decorated, as, in accordance 
 with the Hindu idea of purity, they have to be scrubbed and washed 
 so frequently that ornamentation would be out of place. As a rule, 
 Hindus use brass, and Mahomedans prefer copper vessels, which they 
 have tinned. 
 
 In different parts of the country, vessels for temple worship differ 
 in shape and in the metal of which they are formed. Copper is 
 used in Bengal, but elsewhere brass is more generally employed. 
 
 Sacrificial vessels, lamps, and idols, often form part of the collection 
 made by European visitors to India. A complete set as used in 
 Southern India is exhibited by the Right Hon. Sir M. E. Grant Duff. 
 
 Of these vessels the " Lotah " or water-pot, and tho " Sinhasan " or 
 throne, on which the idol is seated, are often richly ornamented with 
 floral and conventional designs. 
 
 Nasik, Poona, and Ahmedabad are foremost in the Bombay Presi- 
 dency for copper and brass ware, while, to quote an authority, "the 
 work of Madura and Tanjore in the Madras Presidency, surpasses all 
 others, not only in the South, but the whole of India." 
 
 3— DAMASCENED OR KOFTGARI WORK. 
 
 The beautiful damascening on gold, called " Koft," is carried on 
 principally in Kashmir, at Gujrat and Sialkote in the Punjaub, at 
 Multan, Lucknow, Jeypore, Alwar, and at Hyderabad in the South. 
 It was introduced into India directly from Kabul and Persia. 
 
 Damascening is described as being " the encrusting of one metal 
 on another, it is practically limited to gold or silver wire, which, 
 by undercutting and hammering, is thoroughly incorporated with tho 
 metal, which it is intended to ornament." Originally it was invented 
 for the decoration of arms and armour, but now, in times of peace, 
 the workmen have happily turned their skill to the ornamentation of 
 articles in ordinary use. The arms and shields now made, are bought 
 for the most part by Europeans as curios. 
 
 " Koftgari," says Mr. Baden-Powell, "is done by first drawing out 
 the pattern on the steel surface with a hard steel needle or ' silai.' 
 This leaves a line sufficiently deep to catch the very fine wire laid on. 
 The wire is of pure gold, drawn through a steel ' jauudri.' The wire 
 is then hammered into the iron according to the pattern and lines 
 already drawn, the whole is then heated and again hammered, and 
 the surfaco is polished with a white porous stone, where the soft gold 
 is required to be spread, the rubbing and hammering are repeated 
 with greater force. The gold used is pure and very soft." 
 
 By a skilful manipulation of the wire the workman often introduces

 verses from the Koran, incantations, poetry, and prayers for good 
 fortune, and for prizes at Exhibitions I 
 
 Damascening on silver is known as " Bidri," from Bidar, a town in 
 the Nizam's dominions, whore it originated, owing, it is said, to the 
 exertions of a Hindu king, of the same name. He used the articles 
 made, to hold flowers and other sacrificial offerings. King Bidar's 
 successors made great improvements in the industry, but it owes its 
 present state of excellence to the fostering care of the Mahomedan 
 sovereigns, who, wherever they went, not only encouraged existing arts, 
 but introduced new handicrafts and improved methods from other 
 parts of the country. 
 
 The most ordinary articles of Bidri work are hukkas, surahis, 
 pandans (betel-leaf holders), abkoras (cups), vases, plates, trays, &c. 
 
 The four chief seats of Bidri manufacture are Bidri itself, Lucknow, 
 Purneah, and Murslhdabad. 
 
 The labour is divided between three men — the carver, the moulder, 
 and the inlayer. 
 
 In Hyderabad, owing to a prevailing custom of presenting the bride- 
 groom with a set of Bidri ware, there is always an extensive demand 
 for these things, and as it is expensive, " the father of a family," we 
 are told, " is obliged to begin his collection, years before his daughter is 
 marriageable." An authority places damascening or Koftgari, as the 
 highest, after enamels, of the Arts of India. 
 
 3.-ENAMELS. 
 
 The art of enamelling is of the greatest antiquity and flourishes 
 most in Jeypore. 
 
 Sir George Birdwoodd has spoken of the Jeypore enamels as being 
 " the master handicraft of India." 
 
 Enamelling on gold is also practised at Alwar, Delhi, and Benares, 
 and on silver at Multan, Hyderabad in Sindh, Bhawalpore, Kashmir, 
 and elsewhere. 
 
 Of the three (there is also a fourth) methods, that which is practised 
 in Jeypore is champlcve, or enamelling by encrustation. The pattern is 
 formed on the plate itself, and the colours, filled into the depressions 
 hollowed out to receive them, arc made to adhere by fire. Cloisonne, 
 a sister method, dates with champleve from very ancient times. 
 
 "Even Paris cannot paint gold with the ruby and coral reds, 
 emerald greens, and turquoise and sapphire blues of the enamel of 
 Jaipur, Lahore, Benares, and Lucknow." — (Industrial Arts of India.) 
 
 Enamelling is said to have been introduced from the Punjaub 
 into Jeypore, and the fact, that the artists say they cannot make 
 the necessary colours, but have to import them from Lahore, supports 
 the statement. 
 
 Gold is preferred to work upon, as " the difficulties and risks of 
 fixing the colours arc greater when using silver." 
 
 Kashmir stands next in importance to Jeypore in this art, which in 
 the last few years has developed considerably. 
 
 The Kashmir artists enamel on brass and copper as well. On the 
 latter metal, with very good taste, they mostly use blue in different 
 shades, and very little red or yellow. 
 
 When enamelling on silver they work in a very light blue tint. 
 
216 
 
 INDUSTRIAL ARTS SECTION. 
 
 Besides personal ornaments, cups, trays, lotahs (water- vessels), 
 kangris (incense-burners ,or portable stoves), betel-boxes, spice-boxes 
 hukkas, " kairis " or mango-shaped lockets, used by Hindus for scent, 
 and by Mahomedans to hold a compass, indicating the direction of 
 Mecca, other small articles are also made. 
 
 In Kangra the art is devoted chiefly to personal ornaments, but 
 small drinking cups for use among the native Princes are manufac- 
 tured, though to a limited extent, and only to order. Kangra enamel 
 is remarkable for the excellence of its blue colour. 
 
 A peculiar imitation green enamel is produced at Pertabgarh in 
 Rajputana. The secret of the process is only known to two or three 
 families, by whom it is jealously guarded. 
 
 Sir George Bird wood thinks that it is done " apparently by melting 
 a thick layer of green enamel on a plate of burnished gold, and, while 
 it is still hot, covering it with thin gold, cut into mythological or 
 hunting, or other pleasure scenes, in which amid a delicate network 
 of foliated scrolls, elephants, tigers, deer, peacocks, doves and parrots, 
 are the shapes most conspicuously represented. After the enamel is 
 hardened, the gold work is etched over with a graver, so as to bring out 
 the characteristic details of the ornamentation. In some cases it 
 would seem as if the surface of the enamel was first engraved, and 
 then the gold rubbed into the pattern so produced in the form of an 
 amalgam and fixed by fire." 
 
 The Pertabgarh artists manufacture their enamel into flat plaques 
 of various shapes, and these they sell to other artists, who utilize them 
 in brooches, bracelets, &c. 
 
 Rutlam in Central India has an enamel peculiarly its own, but its 
 distinguishing colour is blue. 
 
 5.-ARMS. 
 
 A knowledge of the use of arms was always held to be of the 
 highest importance in the education of every male child among 
 Orientals, pity, and even contempt, being felt for the woman whose 
 husband or son was unable to use with skill and dexterity, the sword 
 or spear. 
 
 In ancient writings there are frequent allusions to the bow, which 
 was made of buffalo horn or deer horn, or of bamboo and other close- 
 grained woods, and of iron, copper, and, in some instances, of silver 
 and even of gold. 
 
 Arrows of later times were pointed with iron, and the bow was used 
 like the sling, for propelling stones and earthen pellets. 
 
 Elaborate classifications of arms are given in Sanskrit books, from 
 which it seems not unlikely that guns and gunpowder were known to 
 the ancient Hindus. 
 
 Javelins, spears, lances, and various weapons to throw by hand were 
 used by them, as well as the lasso and the boomerang, which is 
 generally supposed to be peculiar to Australia, but this is by no means 
 the case, as it is well known in Southern India. 
 
 Clubs, maces, swords, daggers, and battle-axes of various shapes and 
 sizes may be enumerated among the weapons of India. 
 
 Superb and costly arms, ornamented with damascened work, are 
 made at Lahore Gujrat, and Sialkote in the Punjaub, and in Kashmir,

 also throughout Eajputana, and at Monghyr in Bengal. The steel 
 weapons of Nagpur have long been noted for their excellence. Tumkur, 
 with its 120 forges at work, produces all the arms and cutlery required 
 in the Madras Presidency, Kudwar boasts its " good spears, swords, 
 and daggers," and from Vizianagram come the ornate and hand- 
 somely mounted arms, used chiefly in state ceremonials and religious 
 pageants. 
 
 Jallawar produces handsome sword hilts, ornamented in silver work 
 in bas relief. Sirohi and Alwar are famous for their swords ; in the 
 latter place curious shaped daggers are made. Some are double, 
 some, when pressed at the top, open out into a forked shape, disclosing 
 three teeth. 
 
 Shields were made of rhinoceros hide, wood, basket-work, iron, and 
 copper. Ahmedabad, at the present day, is one of the few places 
 where these are made of rhinoceros hide. 
 
 A few shield makers are settled at Lahore, and in the Jeypore State : 
 shields of papier-mache are made, gilded and painted with quaint 
 battle and hunting subjects, and then varnished. With the universal 
 peace reigning in India, there is very little or no demand for weapons, 
 except when ordered for Native States, or for sale to Europeans as 
 curios, the latest European inventions having superseded all the anti- 
 quated though undoubtedly more artistic and beautiful swords, daggers, 
 knives, &c. 
 
 The " kukri," the national weapon of the Nepaulese, is made 
 principally at Bhera. It is a large knife, with a short handle and an 
 incurved blade, widening in the middle, and drawing to a point at 
 the end. 
 
 In the " Industrial Arts of India " the author expresses himself 
 thus on the subject : — 
 
 " The splendour of Indian arms and jewellery is due to the lavish 
 use of diamonds, rubies, emeralds, and other bright and coloured 
 stones. But as their work is really manual, and grows up spontaneously 
 like a growing flower under their hands, the native jewellers are able 
 to use the most worthless gems on it, mere chips and scales of diamonds 
 often so thin that they will float on water, and flawed rubies and 
 emeralds, which have no value as precious stones, but only as barbaric 
 blobs of colour." 
 
 Gaudy trappings, state caparisons and housings, horse-cloths, 
 elephant-cloths, howdahs, umbrellas, standards, peacock tails, and 
 yak tails, are regarded as the most solemn State symbols throughout 
 the East, and no procession would be complete without them. 
 
 The umbrella is the highest of all the " insignia of royalty," and the 
 vermillion, the white, the blue, the variegated have each and all their 
 merit and significance, and rules laid down in ancient writings, exist 
 for their manufacture. 
 
 The chamara, or chauri, comes next in importance and dignity to 
 the umbrella, those made of the tail of the Himalayan yak being 
 most valuable. 
 
 A pair of these yak-tail chauris is exhibited by Mr. F. Carr Gomm. 
 They are handsomely mounted in silver.

 6.— JEWELLERY. 
 
 The art of the Indian jeweller and goldsmith is of the highest 
 antiquity, and "their forms, as well as those of gold and silver plate 
 and the chasings and embossments decorating them, have come down 
 in an unbroken tradition from the Ramayana and Mahabaratha." 
 
 In India, men and women wear ornaments, and these are moro 
 numerous and varied than in any other country. From primitive 
 ornaments, such as bones of animals, tusks of the wild boar, feathers, 
 shells, seeds dyed gaudy colours, to massive gold and jewelled, there are 
 numerous specimens — ornaments for the head, the nose, the ear, 
 necklaces, anklets, toe-rings, and so forth ; there is even a stud for the 
 front tooth. 
 
 The finest gemmed and jewelled trinkets are made in Kashmir and 
 the Punjaub, and though not so prosperous as their forefathers, the 
 court jewellers of the once Imperial cities of Delhi andLucknow, still 
 maintain their hereditary reputation. 
 
 A speciality of Lucknow is what is known as diamond-cut orna- 
 ments. Facets are cut and burnished, and when these appear on star 
 shapes, flash and sparkle at a distance, have a strong resemblance to 
 diamonds. 
 
 " The chief characteristics of the best Delhi jewellery," says Mr. 
 Kipling, " are the purity of the gold and silver employed, and the 
 delicacy and minuteness of the workmanship ; the taste and skill dis- 
 played in the combination of coloured stones and the aptitude for the 
 imitation of any kind of original, on the part of the workman .... 
 As to the object produced, there is scarcely anything called jewellery 
 that cannot be imitated at Delhi, and the continual passage of tourists 
 has created a demand for several varieties of native work, not strictly 
 belonging to the locality, as well as for articles of English style." 
 
 Another speciality of Delhi is the encrustation of jade with patterns 
 of which the stem work is in gold, and the leaves and flowers in 
 garnets, rubies arid diamonds. 
 
 The work of setting stones is performed by the " Murassiakar." 
 After the goldsmith has done his work the article goes to the enameller, 
 and then to the setter of jewels. This industry was introduced into 
 Calcutta, about half a century ago. 
 
 In the hill districts fanciful silver necklaces of many varieties are 
 made; amber and coral are introduced with effect, and sometimes coins 
 or enamelled pendants. 
 
 In the Himalayas, where, owing to the extreme cold, the body has to 
 be covered with thick clothing, there is not much scope for ornaments, 
 but the head, ear and neck are profusely adorned. The necklaces are 
 peculiar and graceful ; the first fits round the neck, the rest, in succes- 
 sion, are longer, and longer till they finally come down to the waist. 
 Assam and Nepaul have each their distinctive jewellery. 
 
 A great deal of mock gold and silver jewellery is made all over India, 
 and the practice of imitating jewels has been carried on, we are told 
 on good authority, from ancient times. In Bengal brass jewellery, 
 gilded with silver or gold, is much worn by the lower caste people, and 
 when fresh from the goldsmith's haud, are not easily detected, without 
 close inspection. 
 
INDUSTRIAL ARTS SECTION.

 Delhi produces a quantity of sham jewellery — made in brass and 
 coloured and plain glass — the original designs of better jewellery are 
 preserved, and they are often very pretty. 
 
 " Year by year," says Mr. Kipling, "a large number of European 
 imitations are imported, and it is not always easy to say where 
 Germany and Birmingham ends, and Delhi begins, for the stamped 
 tinsel settings are combined with wire, silk, and beads, in a most 
 ingenious way, till the completed ornament resembles those made in 
 good material of real native work." 
 
 For the very poor people, costless ornaments of rough workmanship 
 are made in zinc. 
 
 Murshidabad and Dacca are not to be surpassed for their filigrain 
 work. Formerly a superior kind of filigree was done at Dacca called 
 " Mandela," but it has now quite died out. 
 
 The principal places in which jewellery is made in the Madras Pre- 
 sidency are Madura District, Karnul, Salem, South Canara, Madras, 
 Cuddapah, Vizagapatam, and Tanjore. 
 
 Madras jewellery has acquired a great reputation all over the world, 
 especially that made at Trichinopoly. An authority says that these are 
 of the " finest mythological designs, and of the purest Hindu style." 
 It is generally known as the " Swami." Bangalore and Mysore also 
 make and export small quantities. 
 
 The jewellery of Sindh and Beluchistan resembles that of the 
 Punjaub, and Luckuow goldsmiths have followed in the footsteps of 
 their brothers at Delhi and Lahore ; but the silver filigrain work of 
 Cuttack and Orissa, in which the people have attained such unusual 
 skill, is distinct from the indigenous jewellery of the country. It is 
 done chiefly by boys, " whose sensitive fingers and keener sight enable 
 them to put the fine silver threads together, with the necessary rapidity 
 and accuracy." 
 
 Very pretty glass bangles of all varieties and colours are made all 
 over the country. The most noted places are Benares, Ghazipur, 
 Lucknow and Delhi in Upper India ; Hajipur, Patna, Bhagulpoor 
 and Murshidabad in Bengal ; Shivapur and Chinchni in the Bombay 
 Presidency. 
 
 In Southern India the chief seats of industry are in North Arcot. 
 "Large quantities," writes Dr. Bidie, " of the crude glass prepared 
 there, are exported to Rangoon and elsewhere." 
 
 The lac ornaments of Assam arc made principally at Karimganj in 
 Sylhet. " The body of the bracelets is a compound of lac and clay, 
 but the ornamentation consists of pure lac, previously coloured red, 
 yellow, or blue, laid on in thin narrow stripes. The colour being 
 brilliant, the bracelets have a showy effect." 
 
 In Delhi " lac bangles encrusted with spangles in stamped orsidue 
 or with beads, are made in large quantities. Some are coated with 
 tin, ground and applied as a paint, and then covered with a tinted 
 varnish, a method of obtaining a metallic glimmer through colour 
 which is characteristic of many Indian forms of decoration. The lac 
 bangle trade is almost entirely in the hands of women." 
 
 Rewah and Indore produce handsome and skilfully executed lac 
 jewellery.

 7.— ART FURNITURE, HOUSEHOLD DECORATIONS, &c. 
 
 The ultimatum of Art as regards Furniture, if we might come to 
 any conclusion from the generality of Indian houses, it would seem 
 was to do without it, and verily on a typical tropical day, compared 
 with cool mats and soft silken carpets, furniture is a vanity and a 
 vexation of spirit. 
 
 Asa general rule it may be stated, that furniture is used by those 
 Indian gentlemen only, whose social life has come under the influence 
 of Western ideas, and even then the reception rooms alone would be 
 found to be thus fitted up. 
 
 (a.) Bombay Blackwood Furniture* 
 
 The Parsee gentry, who live very much as Europeans, affect much 
 the Bombay blackwood furniture. This is carved out of " shisham " 
 (blackwood). It is laboriously elaborate and heavy in appearance. 
 Its origin, says an authority, was no doubt taken from the Dutch, 
 who, in their turn, would seem to have copied the sculpture and temple 
 decorations of the country in which they found themselves. Unpleas- 
 ing though it may be in furniture, the effect is highly satisfactory 
 when applied to fronts of houses, doors of temples, gateways, screens, 
 cabinets, &c. 
 
 In the Punjaub, where wood-carving is carried on to a great extent, 
 it is happily still essentially an architectural art, the " chaukat," or 
 frames for doors and windows, being a speciality. Deodar is the wood 
 used for common work, but shisham is employed, when the articles are 
 required to be substantial and costly. Mr. Kipling says : — " The style 
 is Mahomedan. The ornament is severely conventional, and the in- 
 troduction of panels of framed lattice-work, locally known as ' pinjra,' 
 ingeniously dovetailed in geometric designs, gives an Arabic character 
 to the whole. The doorways of Delhi, Lahore, Amritsar, Batala and 
 the older towns of the Province, include finer work than that made in 
 modern towns, but the art is still full of vitality." 
 
 In Bengal, the only place where carved furniture of note is made 
 is at Monghyr ; the wood used is ebony, on which ivory and horn 
 are sometimes inlaid. The work turned out consists of cabinets, 
 writing-boxes, pen-trays, cribbage-boards, &c. 
 
 Wooden toys painted in colours are made at Patna. 
 
 Tables, chairs, and other household furniture for European use, bnt 
 more or less in native style, are made at Bareilly, Bijnor, Buland- 
 shahr, Aligarh, Furrukhabad, Sharanpur, Ghazipur, and other large 
 towns. 
 
 The carpenters of Guzerat, chiefly of Ahmedabad, have long been 
 famous for their skill in carving. At the present time, the picture- 
 frames, inkstands, vases, book-covers and other small objects which 
 they produce never fail to please, or to sell. 
 
 The Guzeratis, who are Jains, and originally belonged to the Buddhist 
 religion, have no doubt acquired their art from the early sculptors of 
 the ancient caves or rock temples of India. It has been thought 
 probable that the Mahomedan rulers of Hindustan introduced wood 
 as a softer material to work in, and more effective and less costly than 
 stone or marble. 
 
INDUSTRIAL ARTS SECTION. 
 
 221 
 
 The Central Provinces, which are somewhat deficient in other art 
 manufactures, hold their own against other parts of India in the 
 subject of wood-carving. It is no uncommon thing to find even in 
 small villages, houses with carved teak fronts of considerable beauty, 
 and in several towns, there are streets with carved wooden frontages, 
 displaying taste and skill. 
 
 Doors and frames of good workmanship are produced at Bikanir. 
 
 The wood-carving of Madras is strikingly represented in the Fine 
 Art and Loan Section by a rosewood cabinet, exhibited by Colonel 
 Shelley Leigh-Hunt. It is purely Hindu in style, the designs being 
 taken from the temples of Madura, Vellore and Tanjore. Two native 
 artists were employed upon it continuously for two-and-a-half years. 
 
 (b.) Inlaid Work. 
 
 The inlaid work, used for glove and work-boxes, desks, blotting- 
 cases, card-cases, &c, it is interesting to learn, was introduced from 
 Persia, and gained footing, step by step, through Sindh into Bombay 
 and Surat. 
 
 In Western India, the inlay is made up of tin wire, sandal-wood, 
 ebony, Brazil wood, ivory, white and stained green, and stag-horn. 
 
 In other parts brass and silver are also used in inlay work. In 
 Bengal, with the exception of Monghyr, the art is very little prac- 
 tised. 
 
 At Nagina, in the North- Western Provinces, the wood-carvers decorate 
 their more elaborate and costly work with silver and mother-of-pearl, 
 which show up beautifully on the black of the ebony, of which the 
 articles are made. 
 
 The most noted inlay work of the North-Western Provinces is that 
 done at Mainpuri. The articles are made of shisham wood, on which 
 foliage and geometrical designs are most minutely formed by hammer- 
 ing brass wire. Hard, well-seasoned wood is indispensable. The 
 process is thus described : — " A diagram is first drawn in pencil on the 
 wood, then with a sharp knife incisions arc made along the pencil-marks, 
 and the wire put into the incisions, and then beaten down to a level with 
 the surface with an iron hammer." 
 
 This requires considerable time and labour, a small plate, 12 inches 
 in diameter, often taking a man three weeks to finish. 
 
 Iron inlay is extensively carried on in Hushiarpur. Brass inlay is 
 also practised, but the best work comes from Chiniot. The brass is 
 cut into thin plates before being inserted on the wood. Woods of 
 different colours are also used. 
 
 Similar work to that of Hushiarpur is done at Etawah, a town in 
 Kotah, Rajputana. 
 
 Shisham wood is used, inlaid with mother-of-pearl ; the industry is 
 confined to two or three families. 
 
 In the Madras Presidency, the art of inlaying is chiefly carried on in 
 Vizagapatam. " The surface of the ivory is generally adorned with 
 etchings in black of mythological figures, very well executed, or with 
 floral forms in light and shade." These designs " sgraffito " arc, of 
 course, European, and are not wholly pleasing, as they do not 
 harmonize in character with the rest of the work. 
 
 Examples of Vizagapatam work abound.

 INDUSTRIAL AETS SECTION. 
 
 (d.) Inlaid Agra Work. 
 
 The beautiful mosaic work of the "Taj," at Agra, is now seen in 
 the decoration of cups, plates, boxes, &c. 
 
 It consists of an inlay of crystal, topaz, pearls, turquoises, cornelians, 
 lapis lazuli, garnets, agates, and chalcedony on white marble, in 
 conventional or floral designs. 
 
 Mr. T. N. Mukhorji, in the " Art Manufactures of India," says : — 
 "It is supposed by many that the mosaic decorations of the 
 Tajmahal were of Italian origin. This supposition is based on the fact 
 that one Father Da Castro, who lived in Lahore at the time when 
 the Taj was under construction, told Father Manrique, who arrived 
 in India in 1640, that this celebrated edifice was designed by a 
 Venetian architect named Geronimo Verroneo, and that the internal 
 decorations wcro executed under the superintendence of a French- 
 man, Augustin de Bordeau. On the other hand, there is a tradition 
 in the country that one Isa Muhammad Effendi, a Turk, sent to the 
 Emperor Shah Jehan by the Sultan of Turkey, was the designer 
 of this magnificent mausoleum. In a paper contributed to the Indian 
 Journal of Art (I. p. 61), Sir George Birdwood has, however, con- 
 clusively proved that mosaic work is of Eastern origin, and that it 
 never flourished in the West. Besides, a close observation has 
 convinced him that Western hands could not have executed the mosaic 
 decorations in the Taj." 
 
 Sir George Birdwood says in the paper above alluded to : — " From 
 the Orpheus, which is traditionally held to be a likeness of Austin 
 himself, to the pictorial representations of fruits and birds, they are 
 nothing more than clumsy attempts to directly copy oil and fresco 
 paintings in an unsuitable manner, and it is quite impossible that the 
 men who devised such artistic monstrosities could have been the same 
 as those whose hands traced in variegated pietra duras the exquisite 
 arabesques of the Taj, informed in every undulating line and drooping 
 bud, and bursting flower with the true principle of inlaid decoration." 
 
 (e.) Sandal-wood and other Carving. 
 
 Though sandal-wood-carving is carried on principally in Surat, 
 Ahmedabad, Bombay, and Canara, and in Mysore and Travancore, 
 wood-carving for architectural purposes, and'i vory-carving, are practised 
 with more or less success all over India. The carvings are elaborate 
 and full of detail ; the patterns represented are foliage and flowers, 
 but mythological scenes, decorated with conventional and floral designs, 
 are most popular. The best carving in Canara comes from Koompta. 
 Excellent specimens of sandal- wood carvings are to be seen exhibited 
 by Mrs. Noble Taylor, and Mr. R. E. Candy. 
 
 Travancore carvings are said to be very bold and " naturalistic in 
 style." Trichinopoly, Hadalgi, Raidrug, Madura, and other places 
 produce carvings in sandal-wood, all differing somewhat from one 
 another. Dr. Bidie says : — " The designs are floral and mythological, 
 and worked out with great minuteness, and are really more remarkable 
 as examples of patience, than as works of art." Besides boxes, desks, 
 covers for books, &c, rosaries, combs, and other small articles are 
 made of sandal-wood.

 (f. ) Carved Iyory, Horn, &c. 
 
 Ivory-carving, was at one time practised to a very large extent 
 in India, the carvers being considered only very little inferior to the 
 skilled workmen of Greece and Rome, the industry at the present day 
 is only partially followed. 
 
 Of the various materials recommended in ancient writings for 
 carving, the " Brihat Sanhita " mentions ivory as being the best for 
 bedsteads, but these would of necessity be within the means of a 
 favoured few, and orders for such would be limited. Ivory bedsteads 
 with handsome silver and gold mountings are to be found only in 
 kings' palaces. The Raja-i-Rajgan of Kaparthala has a magnificent 
 ivory coach, of modern date, which was carved in his State. The 
 most noted places in India proper for ivory-carving are Murshidabad 
 and Travancore. 
 
 Africa exports great quantities of ivory to Bombay, but there is also 
 a local supply from the jungles of Assam and Southern India. 
 
 The usual articles made are figures of gods and goddesses, men, 
 animals and other toys, paper-knives, walking-sticks, penholders, 
 ornaments, &c. 
 
 Ivory mats, in days gone by, were a speciality of Sylhet. A beauti- 
 ful specimen made in Manipur is to be seen in the Show-Case reserved 
 for silks and antique needlework. A full description of this mat is 
 given elsewhere. 
 
 Ivory bangles and personal ornaments are made in Cuttack and 
 Murshidabad. A box for holding antimony, delicately carved, of 
 artistic shape, mounted in gold and silver, and set with pearls, used by 
 ladies of rank, is exhibited by Lady Lyall. 
 
 Paper-cutters, paper-clips, sword-hilts, &c, some of very minute 
 carving, are produced at Rutlam, Dhar, and Alipura. 
 
 Ivory forms an important part of Vizagapatam work, but in South 
 India, Travancore is the chief seat of the industry. Through the 
 hearty and kind co-operation of H.H. the Maharajah of Travancore, a 
 very representative collection of ivory work has come over for the 
 Exhibition. 
 
 Lahore and Amritsar have also contributed nobly in this particular. 
 In the Bombay Presidency, Broach and Surat have their ivory 
 carvers, and the art is now greatly encouraged in Bhavnagar by its 
 Prince. 
 
 Cups and water-vessels of horn, musical instruments and combs all 
 date from a very early period, but horn-carving is carried on in only a 
 few places. Scent-bottles, hookah mouthpieces, knife and dagger 
 handles, and the tips of arrows are made of it. Buffalo-horn combs 
 find ready purchasers, and are preferred to vulcanized india-rubber 
 combs exported from Europe. 
 
 In Jeypore, bows of buffalo-horn strung with silk thread are made, 
 and occasionally shields are produced, enriched with metal bosses. 
 
 Powder-horns, inlaid with ivory, and mounted in silver or other-

 carved as to resemble lace. 
 
 (g.) Carved Stone. 
 
 Stone-carving for architectural purposes. The chief centres for this 
 industry are in Northern India and Rajputana, but Hindustan is full 
 of ancient and modern buildings of exquisite and elaborate decoration 
 in stone, all of which bear witness to the excellence and skill of the 
 Hindu workman. 
 
 It has been said that when the Mahomedans came to India " they 
 found themselves among a people their equals in conception, their 
 superiors in execution," and a people " whose taste had been refined 
 by centuries of civilization." But in this, as in other arts, the 
 Mahomedans forced upon the people their own style and leading 
 characteristics, and credit is due either to them, or to the clever art 
 workman, that the Moslem minaret and pointed arch have been made 
 to blend so harmoniously with the pillared hall, pierced tracery and 
 profuse surface carving of the Hindu. 
 
 The famous Tajmahal at Agra, so well known to the world at large, 
 and forming so favourite a subject for the painter, attests the state of 
 excellence of the stone-carver of Northern India. 
 
 Sculpture in Bengal has considerably declined, but the great 
 temples of Orissa and the ruins of Chota Nagpur, and other parts 
 prove, that the industry flourished at one time. 
 
 Agra and Murshidabad, in the North-West Provinces, have an estab- 
 lished reputation for this art. The stone trellis-work of Agra is a 
 legacy of its golden age, " when the skilled workmen of Rajputana 
 were imported to carve the white marbles from Jeypore, and the red 
 sandstone of Bhartpur, with which respectively the great forts and 
 mosques of Delhi and Agra and the palaces of Futtehpore Sikri were 
 built and decorated." 
 
 This " Jali," or stone tracery, is executed in white marble and red 
 sandstone ; it is a " fine filigree, fretted into an endless network of 
 geometrical combinations. The requirements for some material, 
 which should, like glass, afford protection from the weather and at the 
 same time admit of free ventilation, have been satisfied by the 
 elaboration of this unrivalled window tracery." 
 
 Carving in soapstone is no doubt a modern development of the 
 hereditary art. In spite of being fragile, there is considerable demand 
 for the work. 
 
 Of the Rajputana States Jeypore is most active in stone carving, and 
 with Khansa, a neighbouring town, produces quantities of idols of 
 white marble, elephants, and other toys of Khetri or black marble, 
 and " Jain " images. 
 
 The idols of white marble are often painted and gilded. 
 
 The lapidaries of India have been celebrated from very early times, 
 for their skill in cutting and polishing stones. Stone polishers are 
 found more or less in all principal towns, and are engaged in cutting 
 stones for rings, brooches, studs, &c. , and in making knife-handles, 
 paper weights, &c, for European purchasers. 
 
 At Agra and Lucknow, very creditable seal engraving is done.

 Bhera, in the Punjaub, turns out larger quantities than can find 
 profitable sale, of caskets, paper weights, stick and knife handles, neck- 
 laces, toys, &c, of a spurious kind of jade. 
 
 Cornelians, agate., and jade are also worked up at Lahore, Delhi, 
 and Amritsar. Numerous and beautiful specimens of this work have 
 been sent by the kindness of H.H. the Nawab Sahib of Cambay, 
 where the industry flourishes. Ratanpur, a town near Broach, sup- 
 plies the stones, agates, " blood" and other kinds. In this connection 
 the following, from Mr. Campbell's " Bombay Cazetteer," makes 
 interesting reading: — 
 
 The stones are brought from the mines to the contractor, who has 
 purchased the right of working them for the year, he " divides tho 
 stones into two classes, those which should be, and those which 
 should not be baked. Three stones are left unbaked : an onyx, called 
 'mora' or 'bawa ghori,' the cat's eye, called ' chashamdar ' or 
 ' dola,' and a yellow half-clear pebble, called ' rori ' or ' lasania.' 
 These stones are found in different shapes, and are seldom more 
 than one pound in weight. Except these three varieties, all Ratanpur 
 
 pebbles are baked to bring out the colours By exposure to 
 
 sun and fire among browns, the light shades brighten into white, 
 and the darker deepen into chestnut. Of j - ellows, maize gains a rosy 
 tint, orange is intensified into red, and an intermediate shade of yellow 
 
 becomes pinkish purple The hue of the red cornelian varies 
 
 from the palest flesh to the deepest blood-red. The larger and 
 thicker the stone, the more it is esteemed. White cornelians are 
 scarce." 
 
 There are four kinds of agates, the common, moss, the Kapadvanj, 
 and the veined, and these are found in abundance in North-East 
 Kathiawar. The stones lie near the surface, the best rarely exceed 
 five pounds in weight, but the inferior often run as high as sixty 
 pounds. All agates, being hard, are capable of taking a high polish. 
 
 The Kapadvanj agate, which is chiefly found in the bed or on the 
 banks of rivers, is round or almond-shape in form, and the weight 
 differs from a half to ten pounds. 
 
 The jasper or bloodstone, tho chocolate, a crystal, a blue stone, the 
 obsidian or jet, and the piroza or turquoise, are, among other stones, 
 worked up in Cambay, though they are not all found there. The 
 lapis lazuli and jet are imported from Persia and Bokhara, Bassorah, 
 and Aden, through Bombay. 
 
 Mr. J. M. Campbell further tells us that Cambay ornaments belong 
 to three classes, those suited for the Chinese, the Arab, and the 
 European. For the Chinese market only the cornelian ornaments are 
 in demand. 
 
 For the Arab markets, Rampur agates, Ratanpur cornelians, cat's- 
 eyes, and bloodstones are most sought after, and are wrought chiefly 
 into beads of various shapes for necklaces and into bracelets. 
 
 For the European markets, slabs for boxes, tops for tables, cups, 
 saucers, knife-handles, paper-cutters, bracelets, necklets, seals, 
 studs, &c. 
 
 Special attention is drawn to the knife-handles, cups and saucers, 
 and slabs for boxes in the present collection.

 (h.) Clay Models. 
 
 These arc made very largely at Krislmagar, a town north of Calcutta, 
 and by members, for the most part, of one family. They have acquired 
 reputation for their very lifelike and realistic effect, the delicacy and 
 fineness of work, and the excellence of their pose and action. 
 
 Real fabrics, cotton, silk, &c, hair, straw, or grass are introduced in 
 their manufacture, aud great ingenuity is displayed in the handling of 
 these accessories. The figures are sometimes passed on by the 
 modeller to other tradesmen or castemen, for finishing touches. 
 
 "Krislmagar modellers," says Mr. T. N. Mukherji, "belongs to the 
 Hindu caste of Kumars, or potters, one of the nine artisan classes of 
 Bengal, whose rank stands just beneath the Brahmans and writers. 
 Prom time immemorial, the occupation of this class has been to make 
 earthen vessels, and the figurative representations of divine manifesta- 
 tions described in Hindu books. These tangible representations of 
 divine attributes are worshipped in Bengal on prescribed days, through- 
 out the year. The making of an idol is a fine art by itself, and not 
 only the potter who makes it, but also the rich man in whose house it 
 is worshipped and who holds the festival, feels a considerable amount 
 of pride, if the public praise its artistic construction. 
 
 The potter makes the figures of such idols, the painter colours them, 
 and the mali, a member of the flower-selling caste, adorns them with 
 tinsel ornaments. Then the priest comes and invokes the particular 
 divinity, whose figure is made to come down from heaven and accept 
 the offerings prepared by the humble worshippers. After the offerings 
 have been made, and the prescribed time for the deity's stay upon 
 earth has expired, it is again respectfully asked by the priest to go 
 back to its heavenly abode. The idol is then a lump of clay, like the 
 body of a living organism after life has departed from it. 
 
 " Figures and models of various kinds of fruits are made at 
 Boraya in Burdwan, Darbhanga, Hatwa, and ChapraT, but these are 
 vastly inferior to those made at Krislmagar, Lucknow, or Poona. 
 The Lucknow modellers are specially good in models of fruit and 
 vegetables, and as a rule, they can turn out much cheaper articles than 
 the Krislmagar artists." 
 
 The Lucknow figures never have such accessories as pieces of 
 fabric, hair, &c. for their decoration, which makes them lack the 
 life look of the Krislmagar models, but they are very durable, and 
 the small figures in imitation terra-cotta are narticularly good, 
 
 At Poona in the Bombay Presidency large quantities of clay figures 
 are made annually. The Poona work is very like that of Krislmagar, 
 representing faithfully the various races of the Presidency, in every 
 detail of dress, shape of turban, &c. 
 
 In Southern India the models of fruit made in the Mysore State 
 are good, but their colouring is more perfect than their shape. 
 
 Clay figures of inferior quality for toys, are made all over India, 
 more or less, and are sold at public fairs, and places of pilgrimage for 
 infinitcsimally small sums. 
 
 Modelling of a superior class in plaster of Paris is done in the 
 various Schools of Art in the three Presidencies and in the schools in 
 the leading Native States, but because of their fragile nature, specimens 
 were not invited for this Exhibition, for fear of damage in transit.

 (i.) Lac-work. 
 
 The lacquering of wood is an industry carried on all over India, 
 but the people of the Punjaub have attained the greatest reputation 
 for this kind of work. " The art consists in coating an article of 
 wood with lac of different colours, and often cutting out pattern*, 
 on it with a chisel." 
 
 Mr. Baden-Powell, in his "Punjaub Manufactures," says: — 
 "When about to apply the sticks of lacquer colour, the wooden 
 article, duly smoothed and cleansed, is set on the turner's framo 
 and made to rotate. If the colour to be produced is an uniform 
 surface of lac colour, the lac-stick is pressed rather hard against tho 
 wood, and tho colour comes off as the heat produced by the friction 
 is sufficient to soften the lac and detach a portion. When enough 
 colour is applied, the article looks dull and streaky, but a piece of 
 bamboo is taken and a fine edge put on it with a chisel ; this is 
 skilfully rubbed over the surface of the article till the colour has 
 evenly spread, and by skilful manipulation a polish begins to show 
 on the surface, which is enhanced by a gentler application of 
 bamboo edges, and finally completed with oil and a rag. To produce 
 the mottled appearance so much admired, the sticks of colour are 
 selected of a rather harder composition, and less easily softened by 
 heat. The article to be coloured is set revolving, and the workman, 
 holding the colour-stick against it, very lightly allows a point hero 
 and a point there of colour to attach itself, and the wood soon 
 appears to be sprinkled over with coloured dust. 
 
 " The workman takes another colour and repeats the process, 
 moving the stick up and down along the revolving block, when by his 
 skilful manipulation the second colour adheres at points which the 
 first colour has left blank ; sometimes a third colour is touched in in 
 the same manner. When enough colour is on the surface, tho 
 different points of colours arc rubbed together, and combined into a 
 mottled or marbled appearance by rubbing, as before described, with 
 bamboo edge, and finishing with a rag and oil. The prettiest mottle 
 is that of crimson and black, crimson and white, and blue and 
 black. Around the rirn of a box or lip of a cup, a border is often 
 put on, with a flower pattern on it, which is done in a different way. 
 
 " The article is again set spinning on a frame, and colour applied 
 where the desired border is to come, in a uniform hand, and well 
 rubbed in and smoothed with bamboo ; a coating of red is always 
 given first, over the red a coating of green is applied till the red dis- 
 appears, and over the green black. 
 
 " The flower pattern is produced by hand with a small, sharp chisel ; 
 so delicately does the workman adjust the force and depth of his cut, 
 that he will for the flower, let us say, make it appear red by cutting 
 away the black and green coats and exposing the red layer, for tho 
 leaves he will scratch down to the green one, and for a white line 
 he will cut down to the wood. A mistake seems never to be made 
 in this work ; a slip of the tool would of course spoil the whole." 
 
 In conrparing Japanese and Indian lacquer work, a writer is of 
 opinion that the industry as practised in India should be described as 
 lac-turnery and not lacquer. Ho writes : — 
 
 " The word ' lacquer,' as applied to Japaneso varnish and Indian 
 
 Q 2

 shellac, is somewhat misleading to the untechnical miud. We are in 
 the habit of describing the ordinary shellac-coloured wood-turnery of 
 India and the Burmese ware with a basket-work basis as lacquered. 
 A lacquer would seem to mean a fluid varnish applied with a brush 
 and set aside to harden, either in a stove, as in Birmingham, or in a 
 damp press as in Japan. Indian lacquer, so called, is merely the 
 surface obtained by pressing a stick of hard shellac, coloured ad lib., to 
 a rapidly revolving object. The friction develops heat sufficient to 
 make it adhere irregularly. The end of a dry palm leaf stem cut 
 chiselwise, and applied in the same way, melts it still more, and 
 spreads it equally, while a drop of oil applied with further friction 
 with a bit of rough muslin polishes the surface, which is as hard and 
 good after ten minutes' work, as it ever can be. 
 
 " It lasts, too, fairly well, but being only shellac and colour after all, 
 it is not to be compared with Japanese lacquer, in some specimens of 
 which, it is credibly reported, water can be boiled without injury to 
 the vessel, and which never seems to scale or to peel off." 
 
 In Bengal, Murshidabad and Patna are the only two places where 
 lacquering is done. 
 
 In the North-West Provinces, Bareilly, Agra, Lucknow, Fatehpur, 
 Shajahanpur, Benares, and Mirzapur produce lacquered wooden 
 articles, e.g., chairs, tables, legs for bedsteads, plates, boxes, toys, &c. 
 Nests of boxes, fitting one into another, showing ingenuity and skill 
 in colour and design, always find ready sale among Europeans. 
 
 Mr. Kipling says, with regard to lac-work : — " The Hushiarpur 
 lacquer differs from that of Pakpattan in the use of metallic (tin) 
 ground under transparent colour, and in addition to the scratched 
 work of colour, figures of mythological character are boldly paiuted 
 and covered with transparent lacquer." 
 
 In the Schools of Art the industry is rapidly advancing to a 
 high state of excellence, as the specimens from the Mayo School 
 will prove, and those from the Kala Bhavan, Baroda. 
 
 In the Madras Presidency Kurnal has long been noted for its lacquer 
 work. Dr. Bidie wr-ites : — " Some of the old specimens are superior to 
 anything which can now be produced, both in design and execution. 
 The patterns arc floral and in slight relief, and the colours very bright, 
 with much gilding." 
 
 Tables, boxes, fans are the articles generally produced. 
 
 Besides Kurnal, the work is done at Vizagapatam and Nossam in 
 the Guddapah District. 
 
 Fans made of palm leaves, or of paper and cloth, and subse- 
 quently lacquered, are much in demand from Chitrail and Nossam, 
 and the toys of Vcllore made out of a light-coloured wood are greatly 
 sought after. 
 
 In tho Bombay Presidency Sawantwadi, and Hyderabad Sindh, are 
 noted for the same kind of work. The choicest, however, of this 
 class of industry, are the lacquered papier-mache articles from 
 Kashmir, numerous specimens of which are to be seen in the Loan 
 Collection. 
 
 Regarding the nests of boxes, from various parts, Sir George Bird- 
 wood points out that the Rajputana boxes may be distinguished, by 
 having, as a rule a drab ground, and those from the Punjaub by the 
 introduction of purple-coloured lac.

 (j.) Delhi Paintings. 
 
 The ancient caves of India give sufficient and striking proof of the 
 aptitude of the natives for painting, and there is unquestionable 
 authority for the assertion, that their frescoes were of equal merit with 
 paintings of the same age in Europe, and that they |bcar a curious 
 resemblance to those in the catacombs of Rome. There has, however, 
 been no demand for fresco painting for many years, and at the present 
 time, any painting, that may be regarded as such, is of the rudest and 
 most barbaric description. So much for the old school. 
 
 The new artists, men trained in the excellent Schools of Art at 
 Bombay, Lahore, Madras, Amritsar, Calcutta, give full proof of the 
 statement of Sir Geoi-ge Bird wood, that " the spirit of true art is every- 
 where latent in India." 
 
 As a relic of the old school, there are the miniature paintings of 
 Delhi, the painters never having lost their reputation, for excellence of 
 colouring and fineness of touch. Water-colours alone are used by 
 them, and there is healthy emulation in the skilful manipulation 
 of the " ek-bal-kalam," or brush of a single hair. 
 
 The best artists never leave Delhi, but a few have found their way 
 to Bombay and other large towns, where they find ready employment, 
 painting views of the celebrated temples, the Taj, &c, and in copying 
 photographs for Indian and European customers. 
 
 Painting on ivory is carried to a limited extent at Benares and 
 Trichinopoly, and without professing to do so, the best artists of 
 Jeyporc are always ready to execute such an order. 
 
 The illustration of Manuscripts was introduced, doubtless, by the 
 Mahomedans, and though the introduction of pictures was prohibited 
 by religious law, into sacred writings, they crept in as a natural growth 
 of Persian caligraphic art. 
 
 The well-known " Razmnamah " of the Emperor Akhar's time cost 
 £40,000 to illuminate, and among modern examples of the Art, may 
 be mentioned a copy of Shaik Sadi's Persian " Gulistan," executed 
 within the last fifty years, under the direction of Maharajah Banni 
 Singh of Alwar, who expended 50,000 rupees on the salary of the man, 
 who illuminated the manuscript. No two pages are alike, and each 
 leaf is beautifully bordered. 
 
 Wherever wealthy Mahomedans havo settled, the art of manuscript 
 illumination is practised by a few men. In Lucknow, Agra and 
 Rampur the artists are of Kashmirian descent. 
 
 8.— MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS. 
 
 " These," says Sir George Birdvvood, " have remained unchanged in 
 style and form for the last 2,000 years." 
 
 Ancient Hindus are said to have made considerable advance in the 
 Art, bringing it under the domain of science, and reducing it to a 
 system, but, with other sciences, Music has fallen into disuetude, and 
 many of the old writings on the subject are not to be found. The 
 backward movement began before the advent of the Mahomodans, and 
 they being strictly forbidden by their religion to cultivate music, it 
 deteriorated still further. The drum, called the "Daf," is the only 
 instrument allowed to the " Faithful " at marriage ceremonies, no 
 
230 
 
 INDUSTRIAL ARTS SECTION. 
 
 doubt to give publicity to the event, but Mahomedans of culture and 
 refinement soon succumbed to the softening and alluring influences of 
 music, and we read of the great Akbar gathering about him expert 
 musicians from all parts of India, and so much has the taste developed 
 that, at the present day, Mahomedans are among the most ardent and 
 enthusiastic lovers of music. 
 
 In the production of musical instruments, the Hindus do not in any 
 way approach the perfection of European manufacturers, but they 
 display so much ingenuity and skill in their decoration, that musical 
 instruments, as made in India, are acknowledged worthy of being 
 classed among art manufactures. 
 
 Writing on the subject, Dr. Bidie makes the following statement : — 
 
 " With the Hindus music has always been a favourite art, and the 
 popular deity Krishna is generally represented as playing on a flute. 
 Much ingenuity has also been devoted in India to the invention of 
 musical instruments, and these possess a particular interest at tho 
 present day, inasmuch as some have remained unaltered for centuries. 
 Beginning with the simpler forms belonging to the rude hill tribes, 
 and proceeding onwards to those in use among the more civilized 
 population of villages and cities, we find a most interesting variety, 
 capable of affording much information as to the characteristics of the 
 national music. 
 
 " From this point of view they have hitherto received little or no 
 attention, and a rich field of research therefore remains for the in- 
 vestigation of the ethnologist and the musician. As regards Hindu 
 music, some of the older airs are rich in expressive melody, and one 
 reason why the higher class of them does not appeal to European 
 taste lies in the peculiarities of the scale. According to Carl Engel, 
 tho Hindus divide their musical scale into intervals, smaller than our 
 semitones. They adopted twenty-two intervals called Sruti in the 
 compass of an octave. The Sruti may therefore be compared to our 
 chromatic intervals. But from an old treatise, written by Soma, it is 
 evident tho common scale of the Hindus had much the character of 
 tho pentatonic order of intervals. 
 
 " In the construction of musical instruments the natives of India 
 have called into requisition a great variety of substances. 
 
 " The chief of those are reeds, bamboos, gourds, wood, iron, brass, 
 shells, bone, ivory, gut, bladder, and skin. 
 
 'The principal places of manufacture in the Madras Presidency, are 
 Tanjore, Malabar, and Nilgiri." 
 
 Srinagar in Kashmir, Delhi in the Punjaub, Murshidabad in 
 Bengal, Tumkur in Mysore, and Ratnagiri District in the Bombay 
 Presidency, have for all time, been remarkable for the excellence of 
 their instruments. 
 
 Fine specimens of saringis, satars, drums, &c, and other kinds have 
 been sent to this Exhibition by H.H. the Maharajah of Travancore. 
 
 9.— WOYEN STUFFS. 
 (a.) Silks. 
 
 " Its marvellously woven tissues and sumptuously wrought apparel," 
 writes tho author of the "Industrial Arts of India," " have been the

 immemorial glories of India. India was probably the first of all 
 countries that perfected weaving and the art of its gold brocades and 
 filmy muslins, ' comely as the curtains of Solomon,' is even older than 
 the Code of Manu." 
 
 Although supposed to have been originally discovered in China, silk 
 did not take long to find its way to India. It is not mentioned in the 
 Vedas, but was evidently well known in the days, when the Kamayana 
 and the Mahabaratha were compiled. 
 
 " Fabrics are made of the Mulberry silk, of Tasar silk, of Eri or silk 
 produced by worms fed upon castor leaf, Muga silk, Cricula silk, and 
 Burma silk." 
 
 In the days of the " John Company Bahadur," quantities of mul- 
 berry silk were manufactured in Bengal, and exported to Europe. Tho 
 industry declined with the Company's departure, probably because of 
 the deterioration in the quality of raw silk, but strenuous efforts 
 have been made by the Sericultural Department of the Murshidabad 
 District of late years, chiefly through the instrumentality of Mr. T. 
 Wardle, of Leek, and a great future seems to lie before the silk manu- 
 facturers of Berhampore. 
 
 The poetical names by which the silks of Berhampore are known, 
 such as " moon and stars," " ripples of water," " sunshine and shade," 
 " peacock's neck," "nightingale's eyes," are enough to indicate their 
 aesthetic richness and beauty. 
 
 Their exceptional width and texture are peculiarly adapted to ladies' 
 and children's dresses ; they fall into inimitable folds, and in them 
 the term " soft as silk " would seem at last, to have found striking 
 illustration. 
 
 In the North-West Provinces, silk fabrics are made at Benares 
 and Agra. Saris, embroidered at Benares find ready sale all over 
 India. 
 
 Silk which is unbleached and unwashed is called " Corah," when 
 bleached it is called '• Garad." Dhotis, or waist-cloths, chaddars, or 
 sheets, lungis and saris worn by women, are the principal manufac- 
 tures in silk of Bengal. Tasar silk is well known to Europeans ; Eri 
 silk is coarse, but it improves in appearance, and becomes smoother 
 by wear. Of all silks Muga, though rough, is considered the strongest. 
 Matka silk, which is made of pierced mulberry cocoons, is considered 
 a pure article, and is much favoured by the Jainas, who have an 
 aversion to destroying life, and prefer Muga, because the moths inside 
 the cocoons are not killed first. 
 
 Visitors to the Fine Art and Loan Section will have ample oppor- 
 tunity of judging of the fitness of the Berhampore silks for purposes 
 of clothing. A large consignment has just been received for sale in 
 the Commercial Section, and can be purchased for comparatively low 
 prices. 
 
 Silks, mixed with cotton, are made principally for the use of 
 Mahomedans (who are prohibited in the Koran from wearing garments 
 of pure silk) in Punjaub and Sindh, while fabrics of costly pattern, and 
 richness of texture are, in the South, produced at Bangalore and parts 
 of Mysore. Bhawalpur in the Punjaub is the chief centre of the silk 
 industry in that Province. They wash well, and are very durable. 
 
 Very little silk is woven in Central India or in Rajputana. " In the 
 Chattisgarh District, Tasar silk is very largely used for dhotis or waist- 
 
232 
 
 INDUSTRIAL ARTS SECTION. 
 
 cloths, and for coats Silk borders for cotton dhotis are 
 
 made at Burhanpur and Nagpur Silk weaving is, therefore, 
 
 in these places associated with cotton-weaving, and is carried on by 
 the same caste of men (the Koshtas)." 
 
 Silk fabrics are made throughout the Madras Presidency, those of 
 Madura, Conjcveram, Bcllary, Bangalore, Trichinopoly, Tanjore, 
 Vizagapatam, being among the best. 
 
 Women's jackets are made of the fine silk produced at Bellary. 
 "The patterns of these, with perhaps a few exceptions, are purely 
 native, and generally in excellent taste, although the colours are very 
 brilliant. White silks, plain and figured, are also made at Conjevcram, 
 and very superior gold-bordered cloths at Madura, Chingleput, and 
 
 Tanjore The gold is most commonly introduced as warp in 
 
 the borders or spots in the body of the cloth ; but when gold ends are 
 wanted, it is worked in as weft." 
 
 The saris made at Raichur in the Hyderabad territory, are largely 
 bought up by the better classes. Mushru, a satin-like cloth, and an 
 inferior kind of sangi as made at Benares, are also produced there. 
 
 Numerous specimens of Himru, the famous flowered and brocaded 
 silk of Aurungabad, used by the nobility for coats and for women's 
 bodices, have been kindly lent for exhibition, by the Governors of the 
 Whitworth Institute. 
 
 " Silk fabrics, either plain or mixed with gold thread, are chiefly 
 woven at Yeola, Poona, Ahmcdabad, Surat ; and silks without any 
 admixture of gold are woven at Thana, Saswad, Belgaum, &c." 
 
 Raw silk is first made over to the Rahalkari or twister, also called 
 the reeler; when twisted, the silk is called Sheria. Then it passes into 
 the hands of the Rangari or dyer, and finally it goes to the weaver or 
 Magwala, by whom it is warped, sized, and woven. There is a large 
 silk-weaving industry at Poona, which has held its own fairly well 
 against the older and better known Yeola fabrics. From an artistic 
 point of view, the use of aniline dyes by the Poona weavers is to be 
 deplored. In Assam and Manipur, weaving is a home industry, and it 
 is interesting to note that three pieces of Manipur silk, exhibited by 
 Mr. Carlton, were spun and woven by tho mother of the present Rajah 
 (a minor) of that State. 
 
 (b.) Woollens. 
 
 The climate of the plains of India not being favourable for the pro- 
 duction of sheep's wool of «, superior quality, for the manufacture of any 
 fine fabric, woollens are not held in such high estimation as cotton 
 goods. 
 
 Pashmina, of which Kashmir shawls are composed, is a soft down, 
 found on the goat in Central Asia and Thibet. It is difficult to 
 preserve woollens in India, and for that reason, perhaps, cottons are 
 preferred. The chief centre of this manufacture is naturally tho 
 Punjab. Blankets made of sheep's wool are the commonest tilings 
 made. No attempt is made to soften or to felt Indian blankets, as in 
 Europe. They are coarse and very rough, and disagreeable to the 
 touch, and are used only by the quite poor classes. Good blankets, 
 shawls and finer stuffs were once made from soft sheep's wool 
 obtained at Rampur, a State in the hills of the Punjab. In the 
 Himalayan States, where the climate demands warmer clothing, 
 
INDUSTRIAL ARTS SECTION. 
 
 233 
 
 quantities of woollens are now made. Among woollen clothing 
 manufactured in the hills, " a striking example is to be found in the 
 quaint dress of tho Chamba ' gaddi,' or mountain shepherd. It is of 
 coarse but stout and warm grey wool, the ample coat or blouse being 
 secured at the waist by a long girdlo of dark brown wool, felted till all 
 trace of plaiting disappears." 
 
 Namdahs or felts, saddle pads, carpets, are made of sheep's wool 
 in the Punjaub. Several specimens of embroidered Namdah carpets 
 have been contributed to the Loan Section by Lord Roberts. 
 
 In Jeypore, cloaks are made out of a finer kind of Namdah, and 
 saris in Ajmere, are embroidered and worn by the Jat women. 
 
 A wedding cloth takes nearly two years to make. 
 
 Of serges those made at Bikanir in Rajputana are considered the 
 best. They are suitable for dresses, and are largely purchased by 
 Europeans. A piece of cream-coloured Bikanir serge, exhibited by 
 Lady Lyall, is worthy of attention. 
 
 Besides the far-famed Kashmir shawls, which are elaborately 
 embroidered and are so well known in Europe, and, in fact, all over 
 the world, fine, plain, woollen stuffs are made out of the wool called 
 Pashmina. Examples of these also are shown in the same collection. 
 Of these the most noted are the "Yaktara," a plain unfelted shawl 
 cloth of thin twisted thread, and the Rampur Chaddar. A Chaddar, 
 literally a sheet, may or may not have a border and corner pieces 
 embroidered on it. 
 
 " Chogas " embroidered in silks, or long coats, which are so 
 generally converted into dressing-gowns by gentlemen, are made of 
 felted Pashmina, called Malida, in other words " rubbed fabric." In 
 the Punjaub, Pashmina is manufactured at Amritsar, Ludhiana, 
 Lahore, Simla, and other places. An undergrowth of wool is also 
 obtained from the camel, as from the goat, and is woven into stuffs 
 for the making of Chogas. Camel and goat hair are converted into 
 bags, coarse cloths, and ropes in all hill districts, notably in the 
 Punjaub and in Rajputana.

 No precise or reliablo information is forthcoming as to the time 
 when cotton first made its appearance as an article of domestic utility. 
 Tho leaf garments worn by tho Jowangs of Orissa, and the sheep 
 clothing of the North-West frontier, were doubtless the primary forms 
 of dress known in India. 
 
 Of textiles, Garha, or Gazi, would seem to be the early, and the 
 Dacca muslins the highest, development of the epoch of cotton 
 manufactures. 
 
 The celebrated Dacca muslins are represented by one specimen only 
 in the present collection, but the exquisite fineness of the historical 
 manufacture is a thing of the past. Sir George Birdwood tells us 
 that in the time of Jehangir, one of the Mogul Emperors, muslin, 
 15 yards long by 1 yard, could be made, and that this weighed no 
 more than 900 grains. Its cost would be £40. At the present time 
 the same piece, worth £10, could not be made of less weight 
 than 1,600 grains. Muslins called "Running water" (Abravan), 
 " Evening dew " (Shabnam), because they became invisible in 
 running water or on wet grass, in spite of their Persian names, were

 woven in India, " when Egypt built her pyramids, Solomon reigned in 
 Jerusalem, Romulus founded Rome, and Harun-al-Rashid went his 
 nocturnal rounds in Baghdad." 
 
 It seems almost incredible that the few pieces of wood and bamboo 
 tied with shreds of twine and thread, which the weaver calls his 
 loom, should be able to compete with the powerful machinery of 
 Lancashire, but the only reason that Indian looms can hold their own 
 is that the " European process of manufacture has not been able to 
 give to the fabrics that strength for which native manufactures have a 
 reputation. Nor has machinery yet been able to make those gossamer 
 fabrics, for which a wealthy Indian always paid a fabulous price." 
 
 In Bengal the most important cotton manufactures are the Dhoti, 
 a piece of plain cloth with a coloured border, worn by men, the 
 Chaddar, or sheet, 3 yards long by 1J wide, and the Sari, a cloth like 
 the Dhoti, but with a broader border, worn by women. Although these 
 three kinds are largely imported from England, those turned out from 
 native looms are preferred because of their durability. Of tho 
 Punjaub manufactures, the most important are the Lungis, Khes, 
 and Susi. 
 
 The Lungi is a long piece of cloth of short width, chiefly used for 
 turbans. Mr. Baden-Powell says : — 
 
 " This is a long scarf. They are made everywhere, but specially in 
 the Peshawar Division, where they are woven of exquisite fineness, 
 and with most beautiful borders, in which coloured silk and gold 
 thread are often tastefully introduced. 
 
 The Lungi is universally worn by the inhabitants of the Peshawar 
 and Darajat Divisions. The long ends, with the coloured borders hang- 
 ing down, present a very elegant and picturesque appearance. When 
 the Lungi is not worn as a turban, it is used as a scarf, being cut in 
 half and the two pieces sown together. A Lungi is either plain cloth 
 of any colour, oftenest white or dark blue, or else a small check liko 
 the Peshawar Lungi. 
 
 Specimens of checked Lungis, and of self-coloured ones are to be 
 seen, exhibited by Lady Lyall. 
 
 The Kotah and Chanderi muslins are noteworthy, and the cotton 
 manufactures of the Central Provinces have always maintained a high 
 reputation. 
 
 In the Madras Presidency, the finest muslins are those woven at 
 Ami; these rank with the manufactures of the same class from Dacca, 
 Nagriui", ?ncl Nellore. 
 
 Among dyed cottons, may he mentioned tho tic and dye specimens of 
 Jeypore, and other places in Guzcrat. 
 
 Attention is drawn to the Palampores of Southern India, represented 
 by two specimens, lent by Mr. David Carmichael and Mr. Kelsall. 
 These Palampores or canopy cloths, arc perhaps the last example of 
 reed-painting by hand, that can ever be expected to be produced, tho 
 art being confined to members of one family, and tho demand being 
 met by block-printed specimens from Manchester. 
 
 Ahmedabad, Sholapooi - , Ahmednugger, Karachi in the Bombay Pre- 
 sidency, are all noted for their cottons. 
 
 In the little principality of Manipur, almost every description of 
 cotton cloth is made, from " fine muslins down to coarse Daris or 
 carpets."

 " All classes of women weave, from the wives and daughters of the 
 Maharajah down to the poorest in the country. Little girls begin to 
 learn at a very early age, and soon attain to great skill. Amongst all 
 but the highest classes, the women not only supply their families with 
 cloth, but make for sale also. As a rule coarse cloths are far cheaper 
 than in British territory, but the finer descriptions are much dearer. 
 The latter are generally from English thread, which for the better 
 fabrics has almost superseded that of native manufacture. Even for 
 the better class of petticoats English thread is now used. 
 
 This doubles the price. The cheapness of Manipuri cloth is entirely 
 due to the fact that every woman in the valley employs her spare time 
 in making them instead of in idleness. The Naga tribes, who utilize 
 their women for field work, are ceasing to manufacture cloth. They 
 buy it instead from the Manipuris, who are now beginning to imitate 
 the Naga tribal patterns. 
 
 The Manipuri cloth manufacture is thus artificially kept up by the 
 want of an occupation that pays better." 
 
 (d.) Brocades, Kincobs. 
 
 Silks woven with gold and silver thread are known by the name of 
 Kincob or Kinkhab in India. Brocades, that is silk fabrics with raised 
 designs, are made wherever silk is manufactured. Murshidabad, 
 Benares, Bhawalpur, Mooltan, Ahmedabad, Surat, Yeola, Poona, 
 Aurungabad, are all noted for silk brocades. 
 
 The Himru of Aurungabad has already been noticed. M r. Mukherji 
 says : — " In Bombay, Central Provinces, and the whole of South India, 
 gold is almost invariably introduced as a border into superior fabrics, 
 made of cotton or silk. In the Kinkliabs, however, gold or silver is 
 worked on a silk basis all through the piece, practically forming it in 
 all appearance into a cloth of gold or silver. By gold, is meant the 
 silver wire with a gold coating as described under the head ' Manufac- 
 tures in Metal.' Silver brocades are made with silver wire without 
 the gold coating. False gold and silver Kinkliabs are made of copper 
 wire gilt, mostly imported. Kinkhabs were in former days extensively 
 used by rich men for their dress, but English education is rapidly 
 modifying the tastes of the people, not only of those who can afford to 
 wear such costly cloths, but of those too who arc expected to look 
 upon such gorgeous apparel with admiration and awe .... Besides 
 dresses for wealthy people, gold and silver brocades were formerly used 
 for elephant and horse trappings. In Bengal, gold and silver brocades 
 are made at Murshidabad, but in North India Benares is the chief seat 
 of this manufacture. Its embroidered silks and brocades have long 
 been famous all over the world. Lucknow also makes brocades, but 
 these are not so famous as those of Benares. 
 
 " As Benares in the North, so Ahmedabad and Surat in the South of 
 India are famous for their Kinkhabs." 
 
 Good specimens of Benares and Ahmedabad Kincob have been 
 obtained for this Exhibition. 
 
 (e.) Embroideries and Needlework. 
 
 Of the numerous embroideries for which India has long been famous, 
 those only need be mentioned, which are represented in the present 
 
 Collection.

 INDUSTRIAL ARTS SECTION. 
 
 The most elaborate kind of gold embroidery is called Karclwb. It 
 is done by putting the piece to be worked into a frame, the design is 
 then traced in white paint, or sometimes traced out in fine stitches 
 with white cotton, the flowers are then " packed " to raise them, and 
 finally the pattern is covered and worked out in Kalabatun, i.e., gold 
 or silver wire twisted on silk thread. 
 
 Less heavy examples of gold and silver embroidery are called 
 Karchiokan. 
 
 Handsome specimens of Karkhab have been sent over for this 
 Exhibition by Chumba Mull, of Amritsar. These consist of portieres, 
 fronts and trimmings for dresses, tablocloths, &c. Silks are introduced 
 in the embroidery with very pleasing effect. 
 
 The Punjaub has always been noted for its embroideries, but the 
 " Kashmir shawls " worked at Amritsar, Ludhiana, Sialkote, and else- 
 where in the Province are without doubt the most important. These 
 are strikingly illustrated in the Fine Art Section. 
 
 An embroidery which has found favour with Europeans is the 
 Phulkari cloth. "It is a silk-embroidered, coarse cotton cloth, origi- 
 nally wrought by the peasant women in many districts of the Punjaub 
 and Rajputana. The Jat women used these cloths for Orhnis or 
 shawls, bodices, petticoats, &c. ; they are now made into curtains in 
 European houses." 
 
 The following remarks have boon made by an authority on the 
 present position of the shawl industry in the Punjaub: — "The 
 Kashmir shawls are of two kinds ; the first is the loom-woven, in which 
 the pattern is produced in the loom itself by the aid of a vast number 
 of small bobbins carrying the coloured Pashm, the shuttle and cross- 
 threads being only used to secure the whole fabric ; the second is the 
 cheaper kind, in which the whole of the pattern is embroidered with 
 the needle. . . . The introduction of aniline dyes has done a great 
 deal to injure the design and appearance of shawls, especially the 
 coarse crimson known as Magenta shawl." 
 
 The Umritsar shawls are made of the Changthan stout wool ; the 
 finer quality never leaves Kashmir. 
 
 A great deal of embroidery in silks, gold and silver, and wool is 
 done all over Rajputana. The work of Alwar is remarkable for its 
 superior designs and fineness of workmanship. 
 
 We learn from Dr. Bidie that the art of embroidering muslin, silk, 
 and cloth as now practised in Madras is of comparatively recent 
 origin, and to have been introduced by Mahomedans. He classifies 
 the Madras embroideries as follows:— (a) Muslin embroidered with 
 cotton thread ; (6) net embroidered with silk thread ; (c) net 
 embroidered with silver thread ; (d) net embroidered with gold or gold 
 and silver ; (e) net embroidered with gold and beetles' wings ; 
 (/) Dungaree embroidered with floss silk ; (g) woollen cloth embroi- 
 dered with silk thread and gold. 
 
 In the Bombay Presidency, Shikarpur and Hyderabad, Sindh, 
 Cutch, Surat and Bombay turn out excellent work on various mate- 
 rials. The Souzanis, or resais (quilts), of Shikarpur and those copied 
 from Bokhara designs, deserve mention. Several notable examples have 
 been contributed for this Exhibition, and are well worthy of study. 
 
 The Chikan work, or white cotton embroidery of Calcutta, is repre- 
 sented by specimens from Calcutta, and also by work done in the

 Mission Schools for girls in Travancoro. Handkerchiefs, children's 
 dresses, strips of edging and insertion, &c, are made, and over a 
 thousand persons, many of them women and children of good families, 
 are kept employed, who would otherwise starve ; these have been 
 impoverished by the abolition of the Court of Oudh. 
 
 Chikan workers also embroider dresses for ladies and children in 
 Tussah silk. 
 
 (f.) Carpets. 
 
 Space would not allow us to notice separately the various carpets 
 which drape the walls, and therefore a few general remarks must 
 suffice. 
 
 Indian carpets are of two descriptions — viz., cotton and woollen. 
 " The former are known as daris, or durries, and satranjis, or rugs 
 and carpets. . . . their patterns consisting of stripes, usually of blue 
 and chocolate, or red and white, with occasional variations by the 
 introduction of squares and diamond shapes, and even gold and silver 
 ornamentation, are of the oldest Indian Art designs. . . . The pile 
 carpets came in with the Mussulman invaders. The principal seats 
 of the^manufacture, by the regular weavers, were around the Mahome- 
 dan centres, and are enumerated by Sir George Birdwood as Cashmere, 
 the Punjaub and Sindh, Agra and Mirzapur, Hyderabad and Warangal 
 in the dominions of the Nizam, the Malabar coast, Masulipatam, and 
 the Coromandel coast. Velvet pile carpets were also made at Benares 
 and Murshidabad, and silk pile at Tanjore, Salem and Warangal. 
 
 " The exquisite design and harmonious colouring of the Indian 
 carpets of olden times, are incontestable, and need no further praise. 
 But experts and lovers of Oriental art find grave deterioration in the 
 productions of the present day in design, texture and colouring." 
 
 This falling-off was attributed by those who know, to the introduc- 
 tion of carpet-making into the jails, in order to keep the prisoners 
 employed, and by the use of analine dyes and ill-advised European 
 patterns, or fancied improvements on native designs. Messrs. Devai, 
 Sahai and Chumba Mull, of Amritsar, a noted firm for pile carpets, 
 have sent several specimens of good work for exhibition. Sir George 
 Birdwood thinks that Malabar carpets " would seem to be the only 
 pile woollon carpets made in India of pure Hindu design." In the 
 Mysore State, Bangalore had once a large export trade in carpets. 
 " Bangalore carpets " are a speciality of that place, and are distin- 
 guished, being reversible ; they are also noted for their good wearing 
 properties. 
 
 In this connection Sir George Birdwood writes: — " The peculiarity 
 of these rugs, of which several remain in the Indian Museum, was 
 the exceedingly fine count of the stitches, about 12,000 to the square 
 foot. They wore also perfectly harmonious in colouring, and the only 
 examples in which silk was ever used in carpets with a perfectly satis- 
 factor3 r effect. The brilliancy of the colours was kept in subjection by 
 their judicious distribution and the extreme closeness of the weaving, 
 which is always necessary when the texture is of silk. All this 
 involves naturally great comparative expense, not less than £10 
 per square yard ; and it is not surprising, therefore, that in the com- 
 petition with tlie Thug carpets of the jails, the stately fabrics of 
 WaranguL the ancient capital of the Andhrca dynasty of the Deccan, 
 and of the later Rajahs of Tclingana, have died out, past every effort 
 to revive them."

 10.— POTTERY. 
 
 The pottery of India, whether the unglazed and unpolished red 
 brown, yellow and gray, or the historically famous glazed earthenware 
 of Madura, Sindh, and the Punjaub, is, saj's Sir George Birdwood, the 
 " truest to nature in the directness and simplicity of its forms and 
 their adaptation to use, of all the homely and sumptuary arts of India. 
 
 The art of the potter is universal, and of the highest antiquity, and 
 the forms of water-jugs, water-bottles, drinking vessels, &c, sold in 
 the bazaars at the present time being identical with those represented 
 in painting in caves upwards of 2,000 years old. 
 
 The principal varieties are the red glazed and unglazed, the black 
 and silvery, the gilt and the pierced. 
 
 " The Indian potter's wheel," says the illustrious writer whose 
 authority has been quoted so often in these pages, " is of the simplest 
 and rudest kind. It is a horizontal fly-wheel, two or three feet in 
 diameter, loaded heavily with clay around the rim, and put in motion 
 by the hand, and once set spinning it revolves for five or six minutes 
 with a perfectly steady and true motion. 
 
 " The clay to be moulded is heaped on the centre of the wheel, and 
 the potter squats down on the ground before it. A few vigorous turns, 
 and away spins the wheel, round and round, and still and silent as a 
 "sleeping" top, while at once the shapeless heap of clay begins to grow 
 under the potter's hand into all sorts of faultless forms of archaic 
 fictile art, which are carried off to be dried and baked as fast as they 
 are thrown from the wheel. Any polishing is done by rubbing the 
 baked jars and pots with a pebble." 
 
 As Hindus have religious scruples against the second use of earthen 
 vessels, quantities are broken after pollution, and the demand in con- 
 sequence is immense for these, as also for painted images of clay, 
 which are thrown away after hcing worshipped. Thus " the potter, in 
 virtue of his calling, is an hereditary officer in every Indian village." 
 
 The tradition is, that the enamelled pottery of the Imperial Mogul 
 cities of India was introduced from China through Persia by the 
 influence of one of the Emperor's wives, a Chinese lady ; and 
 European writers state that the habit of decorating the walls of 
 mosques and palaces with coloured tiles dates from the Mogul con- 
 quest. 
 
 The Mahomedans adopted the fashion when they came, and in- 
 variably made use of tiles in the ornamentation of their buildings. As 
 they extended their power, they would scorn to have developed varieties, 
 and to have produced from the plain turquoise blue description to 
 those, elaborately designed and many-coloured. 
 
 A pair of very old yellow tiles have been lent by Mrs. Gooding for 
 this Collection. 
 
 The School of Art, Madras, has contributed a very largo consign- 
 ment of glazed pottery. 
 
 The blue china in Case 15 is here entirely through the kindness of 
 Mrs. Paget, and are excellent specimens of Delhi and Mooltan pottery.

A FEW NOTES

 1 3ST ID I .A. I£T ABMS, 
 
 By DR. ERNEST HART. 
 
 Swords. — Sword Blades. — Blades of an inferior description are 
 made at Haidarabad, Gudwal, Wunparti, Kolapur, and other places 
 in the Dominions, and may be purchased mounted with iron handles 
 and wooden leather-covered sheaths for prices ranging from five to 
 fifteen rupees. Blades of good water come from Guzerat and Persia, 
 and fetch prices varying according to the temper of the steel ; very 
 good watered blades are also made at Jugdeopur in the Khamman 
 district. The better kinds of swords arc mounted with ivory or steel 
 handles inlaid with gold and silver. Blades aro both straight and 
 curved; the best are invariably of the latter shape. 
 
 Varieties of Sword Blades. — The following is a description of the 
 various kinds of swords worn, some of which are made in the Domin- 
 ions. Their values vary from five to six rupees to five thousand, ac- 
 cording to the quality of the steel and the history and traditions of the 
 blade. Watered blades called Jolmdar always fetch much higher 
 prices than any others. Blades of this description, when made here, 
 are cast from +he famous Kunasamudram steel, already noticed. 
 Scrohc a light curved sword of fairly good steel, is made at Jugdeopur. 
 It is worn chiefly by Rathores. Tegah, made of inferior steel, blade 
 broad and straight, in common use. Abbassi is a Persian blade made 
 of good steel. The blade is narrow and straight, and is generally 
 finely tempered. It is worn chiefly by Moguls. Neincha, an inferior 
 and half-sized weapon with a straight blade, worn by the common 
 classes. Asil, there are several varieties of this weapon, which, how- 
 ever, bear a pretty close resemblance to each other, the only percep- 
 tible difference usually being that some of the blades are perfectly 
 straight, and others slightly curved ; the breadths also vary slightly. 
 The Asil is worn by all classes, some of the ^blades are of good water, 
 and others are inferior. Both kinds are made at Jugdeopur. Misri, 
 generally made of good steel, blade straight and finely tempered, worn 
 
240

 by the better classes. Fuming (Frank, probably English), this weapon 
 is usually made of inferior steel ; the blade is broad and heavy. It is 
 worn by professional fencers (Dekhan Maitres des armes), and a class 
 of men skilled in the art of self-defence, who are styled Phikets. 
 Kirich, this is the regulation military sword. Dhopc, this weapon is 
 made of fairly good steel, the blade is straight and of medium breadth 
 and is light. It is usually worn hy the nobles and gentry of the city. 
 Putta, this is an old-fashioned weapon, now rarely made aud seldom 
 seen except in collections of arms, or in places where fencing is taught. 
 It consists of a steel gauntlet reaching to the elbow ; the portion which 
 covers the back of the hand is usually cast to represent a tiger's head. 
 Below the head is a cross-bar which serves as a handle, to which along 
 triangular two-edged blade is attached. The blade, which is sometimes 
 more than four feet in length, is thin and flexible, being made of good 
 tempered steel. Two of these weapons, one on each hand, are usually 
 worn. Nawaz Khami, the peculiarity of this sword is, that the outer 
 instead of the inner edge of the curve, is sharpened. It is usually mado 
 of good steel. The Sailapah is a superior description of sword, which 
 used formerly to be imported from Arabia and Syria by the Arabs. 
 Many of the old blades, which are highly prized, are still to be found 
 here. Very good blades of this pattern are made from Kunasamu- 
 dram steel. But the most highly esteemed blades in this and other 
 parts of India are (1) the Abbassi or Persian blades already mentioned ; 
 (2) the Jenobe or Genoese blades which used to be imported in olden 
 times, perhaps in the palmy days of the Italian Republics ; (3) the 
 Magribi or Toledo blade ; and (4) the Alleman or German blade, which 
 probably came to India through the trade established by the Italian 
 Republics. There is besides these a native Indian blade of great fame, 
 frequent references to which are to be met with in the ancient litera- 
 ture of the Arabs. This is supposed to have been the famous 
 Gaurathe blade, still prized by connoisseurs. English blades are 
 sometimes met with, disguised as native swords, and sturdy Wilkinsons 
 have sometimes been found draped in velvet and tinsel in the hands 
 of swash-bucklers in the city. 
 
 Arab Muskets. — Inferior muskets (smooth-bored) arc made in the 
 city Karkhana for the police and some of the irregular troops, at a 
 cost of from ten to fifteen rupees each. The long barrels used by the 
 Arabs are made in Sind, also in the native state of Gudwal, tributary 
 to the Nizam, and in a few villages near Haidarabad. They are 
 brought to the latter place and mounted on the curiously-shaped iron- 
 bands, lump of wood which serves the Arabs instead of a stock. When 
 mounted they sell at prices varying from twenty-five to seventy rupees. 
 They are all match-locks, and carry only a small bullet. The guns 
 used by the Pathans are of similar make to those of the Arabs, the 
 barrels being cut shorter, and having English-shaped stocks. The 
 guns and rifles used by the nobility and upper classes of the city for 
 sporting purposes are all of English make, and of the very best and 
 latest descriptions. 
 
 Blunderbusses. — The huge boll-mouthed blunderbusses, borne by 
 the Rohillas are made at Wunparti, Gudwal, Narmal, and other 
 places. They cost from twenty to sixty rupees, according to the quality 
 of the material from which they are cast. They are provided with

 flint locks, and arc not fired from the shoulder, but held in both hands, 
 and even then the concussion, owing to the heavy charge of gun- 
 powder, is so great that those firing them are spun round and round, 
 and sometimes fairly overturned. They load with slugs. The Rohillas 
 have pet names for their blunderbusses, such as the slicre bacha (tiger's 
 son), the saf shihan (live destroyer), &c. The muzzle of the former 
 sometimes terminates in a rudely cast tiger's head ; the latter is a 
 much heavier weapon than the ordinary blunderbuss, and carries a 
 greater charge. 
 
 Daggers, Knives, &c. — The following weapons, in addition to the 
 gun and sword, are worn by the Arabs. Jambir, a two-headed dagger 
 with a curved blade about seven inches in length, varying from two to 
 four inches in width, and tapering to a point ; worn in the waist-belt. 
 The handles of these weapons are sometimes made of the dried sinews 
 of the camel, but the wealthier classes usually have them mounted in 
 richly-inlaid ivory, jade, or silver. They are worn in green velvet, 
 silver, and leather sheaths. The better descriptions of these weapons 
 are made in Arabia, but very good ones are made at Haidarabad and 
 elsewhere from Narmal steel. The average selling price is from 
 fifteen to fifty rupees, according to the quality of the steel. Behind the 
 Jambla the Arabs wear the Sikkin, a knife with a curved blade about 
 six or seven inches in length. These knives, which cost from one to 
 five rupees, are made at Gudwal, Jugdeopur, and a few villages near 
 Haidarabad ; behind the Sikkin they wear the Chimta, a pair of light 
 iron or steel pincers, nsed to pick up fire, extract thorns, and various 
 other purposes. These weapons, with the ball-pouch and gunpowder- 
 flask, usually horn-shaped, both of which are made here, complete the 
 armoury of the Arab. The Mowlads, or Dekhani Arabs, wear, in addi- 
 tion to these, a pistol, which is usually provided with a flint-lock. 
 These pistol-barrels were formerly made at Lingampalli, Telgandal, 
 and other places, but their manufacture has almost entirely ceased of 
 late years. 
 
 Pathan Weapons.— Katar. — The principal weapon worn by the 
 Pathans is the Katar, a double-edged dagger, having a breadth of from 
 two to three inches at the hilt, tapering down to a fine point. The 
 blades vary in length from six inches to one foot ; just above the hilt 
 is a small cross-bar, sometimes two, by which the dagger is grasped 
 when used. Parallel with the cross-bar or handle are two pieces of 
 steel six to eight inches long, which cover the wrist. Some of these 
 weapons have a semi-circular guard of iron, and capable of withstand- 
 ing a sword-cut. The best of them are made at a place near Agra, and 
 at Burhanpur. They are also manufactured at Haidarabad, Gudwal, 
 and other places in his Highness's dominions. Their cost varies 
 from five to fifty rupees, according to the quality of the steel. The 
 hilts of the more expensive ones are frequently inlaid with gold and 
 silver. The weapon is worn in the waist-belt. The swords worn by 
 Pathans are curved, and are usually longer and heavier than those of 
 the Arabs. Their best blades come from Persia, but very fair ones are 
 made at Gudwal, Warangal, and Wunparti. The Rohillas all wear 
 the pesh khabz, a curved dagger a foot in length. The breadth of the 
 hilt varies from two to two and a half inches ; it tapers away in the 
 centre to one inch, having one edge only, and ends in a curved point.

 Rohilla Weapons. — Pesh Khabz. — The handle is usually ivory or 
 bone, and occasionally of silver. The majority of these daggers are 
 made here, and are sold at from eight to fifty rupees each. Tho sword 
 worn by the Rohillas are usually made of inferior steel. They cost 
 from five to ten rupees. They also carry pistols of local make. 
 
 Sikh Weapons. — The Sikhs wear the pesh khabs and Jambia, and 
 also the Katar ; most of them carry guns. The steel quorts worn in 
 their puggeries usually come from the Punjab, but a few arc made at 
 Haidarabad. 
 
 Shields. — All the armed classes mentioned above, but especially the 
 Tiohillas, wear shields made of rhinoceros hide of well-tanned leather. 
 The latter are made at Haidarabad. They are circular in shape,

 some prehistoric remains, contributed by Mr. Robert Sevvell, late

 ing stones, &c, from hills about Bellary.

THE INDIAN CITY. 
 
 THE MAiDAN. 
 
 Leaving the arcaded garden of the Hippodrome, the Maldan is 
 entered, and the tour of the Indian city commenced. Maldan is a 
 word of Persian origin, applied to any largo space, either within or 
 without a city, suitablo for the trial and exercise of horses, tho word 
 signifying a filly. 
 
 Here camels are ready for hire, and when tho fronts of the native 
 craftsmen's shops are crowded several deep a rapid glance at these 
 groups of workers can be obtained from the superior elevation of a 
 camel saddle. 
 
 THE BRASSFOUNDER. 
 
 Starting on tho right hand side, and passing a bamboo and tile roofed 
 fruit shop, Bulvant Govind, the brassfounder, is seen either forcing his 
 fire with a small goat-skin bellows in order to liquify his crucible 
 charge of brass, or having poured the metal, he is industriously finishing 
 with file and chisel a Vishnu or Lakshmi, or some quaint animal form 
 which, though far from any pretence of correct proportion or realism, 
 yet possesses in an unmistakable manner the distinctive character 
 and motion which is so often missing in our Western academical 
 work. 
 
 THE GLASS-WORKERS. 
 
 In the next shop five glass-workers from Kapawanj, Kaira District, 
 have erected their glass houses, and like their neighbours the potters, 
 are producing remarkable results with primitive apparatus, which has 
 been superseded in some other parts of tho world several thousand 
 years. Very little is known about Indian glass. It is generally more 
 useful than decorative, except when made into bangles or blown 
 into globes, which are lined with lead instead of mercury, and then 
 cut up into the small mirrors which women of all castes are de- 
 lighted to fix witli embroidery on their shawls and dress-skirts. 
 European blown and cut glass, principally from Germany, had nearly 
 killed this old industry, when a demand for paraffin lamp-glasses saved 
 it from extinction, and some chance specimens of native coloured ware 
 suitable for tablo decoration, having been noticed and sent to the 
 Lahore Exhibition of 1881, the workers were induced in time to revive 
 
■MM 
 
 -358 THE INDIAN CITY, 
 
 old patterns, the traditions of which once lost could never have been 
 recovered. The workers are four Moslems, named Mohammed Faju, 
 Amir Faju, Imam Dadu, and Abdul Rahim. The last name, whon 
 translated, is a fair illustration of the doubled influence of poeti-y and 
 piety in determining the names of Eastern children, Abdul Rahim 
 signifying " The slave of the Merciful." 
 
 THE POTTERS. 
 
 Here, too, Moslems from Bhooj, in Cutch, Osman Suliman and 
 Yousuf Hussein, throw lotas, surahis, and pialas, water-pots, bottler;, 
 and dishes, besides hooka bases, the lower portion of the Indian water 
 pipe. The wheel used is peculiar to India, and is probably the survival 
 of a primitive implement which went out of use in the western world 
 in pre-historic times. The more scientific kick-wheel was known in 
 Egypt several thousand years B.C., but India's balance or " tee-to-tum" 
 wheel belongs to a remote age beyond our knowledge. Whilst men- 
 tioning survivals it is not out of place to instance a still older and 
 positively barbarous method of potting, which is still followed in India. 
 No wheel is used, but a roughly-shaped vessel of clay formed by the 
 fingers is turned round and round in the left-hand, and gently patted 
 with a small wooden bat by the right until a fairly true form is arrived 
 at. Much of the pre-historic pottery of Europe was produced by this 
 method. 
 
 THE INDIAN THEATRE. 
 
 The north-east corner of the Maidan is bounded by the Indian 
 Theatre, a half-timbered building with a low-pitched tiled roof, whose 
 projecting eaves are supported by richly-carved wooden corbels. 
 Within, a, troup of native jugglers perform their world-renowned 
 Indian basket and mango tricks with other sleight of hand feats, 
 accompanied with the usual professional patter, a quaint jargon of 
 Hindustani and English, which will carry the mind of many a retired 
 Indian official back to the first few hours of his sojourn in the old 
 Presidency, when, already delighted to leave the ship for terra firma, 
 he gazed on wonder after wonder culminating in the arrival of the 
 jugglers, who calculated to a nicety the reappearance of the " griffs," 
 after unpacking, in the verandah or balconies of the hotel. The 
 peculiar sounds of the snake-charmer's flageolet and juggler's hand- 
 drum, mixed with strident tones of the patter, will again be remem- 
 bered, and all that immensity comprised in that simple word, India, 
 will come back again with mingled pleas: ire and pain. 
 
 THE GOLD AND SILYER SMITHS. 
 
 The Theatre is also the corner house of Bombay Street, which is 
 named after one of the principal temples in Bombay. Built against 
 it are two shops, both occupied by gold and silver smiths. The facades 
 of these shops, as well as tho balconies, carved windows and eaves 
 corbels, are all worthy of notice, having been collected from old build- 
 ings in Bombay and Ahmodabad. In the first shop Mahdeo Prasaad, of 
 Benares, makes bangles, necklaces, rings in repousse or filigree work. 
 Next door, under a richly carved balcony, which in Europe would 
 
THE INDIAN CITY. 
 
 359 
 
 only be found in a church, palace, or municipal building of the Middle 
 Ages, Serju Prasaad, also of Benares, carries on similar work, and when 
 engaged in melting a handful of silver coin in a fire composed of a few 
 sticks of charcoal, he is watched with wonder and interest as, unaided 
 by bellows, he brings his crucible to incandescent white heat by the 
 simple aid of a small fan and a bamboo blow-pipe. 
 
 THE BARODA CRAFTSMEN. 
 
 Two private houses, botli good examples of old Bombay architecture, 
 complete the east side of Bombay Street. Crossing to the west a long 
 row of shops commences with that occupied by two prize art crafts- 
 men sent over by his Highness the Gaikwar of Baroda, who not only 
 generously pays all their expenses, but has granted an allowance to 
 enable them after the close of the Exhibition to visit the principal 
 manufacturing towns of England and Europe. Their names arc 
 Richand Gellabhai (iron worker), and Laloobhai Munsookram Rup- 
 ghada, ivory carver. Both men have adopted European tools and 
 methods, and fairly illustrate the inevitable forward movement which 
 is changing India ; we know not whether for better or worse. 
 
 THE PUGGREE MAKER. 
 
 Next door sits, as generations of his ancestors sat before him, Sita 
 Ram, of Poonah, the puggree or turban maker. Named after Sita 
 and Rama, the heroine and hero of the Ramayana, he is as conserva- 
 tive as that story is old. The peculiar horned form of the small 
 Mahratta turban is only attained by working the fine folds of the 
 puggree muslin round a papier-mache shape, and as it is the bazaar 
 custom to make these shapes from waste paper, Sita Ram insisted on 
 bringing two large bales from his own quarter; these, when examined, 
 proved to be invoices and memorandums of merchants and bankers 
 (otherwise money-lenders), no longer required, as the matter of their 
 contents had in duo course been copied into the great books bearing 
 the seal of Gunputty, the god of fortune. 
 
 THE STREET MUSICIAN. 
 
 When the native craftsmen arrived it was found that several of tho 
 trade-groups would not be sub-divided and placed in separate shops. 
 Thus vacancies occurred which could not be immediately filled, but 
 soon in the empty shop next to the puggroe maker tho street musician 
 established himself without leave. He perhaps more than any of 
 the other Hindustanis in his Indian city represents a type of the old 
 world which this century has almost obliterated from existence. His 
 music is traditional ; his audience expects of him but a limited 
 repertoire of ballad airs, and his art is in rendering them with quaint 
 turn and quavering often inaudible to our barbarous ears, accustomed 
 only to distinguish twelve tones to the octave, whilst Bessas Warr has 
 been taught thirty-two. When playing to please himself he runs on 
 with a wild minor melody which he describes as a Persian air ; but 
 noticing a want of appreciation in his European audience ho gene- 
 rally changes it to " Taza-bi-taza " or " Hili mili panyia," popular 
 

 360 
 
 NHE INDIAN CITY. 
 
 ditties, the melodies of which bears a suspicious similarity to two 
 well-known missionary hymns. 
 
 THE POTTERY PAINTERS. 
 
 Bala Hassa, of Surat, and Saf-ud-din, of Ratnaghcri, are first-class 
 decorative artists, and paint the pottery thrown by Osman Suliman 
 and Yousef Hussein. Their system is to paint with white " slip " on 
 the red ware of Bombay or Scindh, and then to glaze over ground and 
 pattern with either cobalt or copper blue, copper green, or a yellow 
 prepared from lead. This produces a harmonious decoration in a 
 lighter colour on a dark ground. Their blue and white ware, in 
 imitation of Chinese porcelain or Persian faience, is seldom successful, 
 as the " slip," which covers the whole surface of the red pottery, is too 
 opaque to give depth and transparency to the cobalt and copper blues 
 used in its decoration. 
 
 THE DIRREE OR TAILOR. 
 
 That the Colony should be self-contained and self-supporting several 
 trades were included for the special service of this polytechnic 
 community. One of these is that of the tailor, who will be found hard 
 at work at his craft making clothes for the rest. His trade, although 
 enjoying a respectable antiquity, does not rank amongst those of the 
 village craftsmen, as made-up clothes are an alien introduction, and 
 to this day only partly accepted by the Hindus. 
 
 THE BRASS MOULDER. 
 
 Mahasett Gopalsett, of Poonah, hammers sheet brass and copper 
 into lotahs, cooking-pots, and trays oxpertly, brazing the bulbous 
 halves of vessels too hollow to be shaped out of a single sheet. His 
 small copper lotahs are afterwards chased by his neighbours, Vishnu 
 Luximan or Gunput Fulchmid in the Shikarpur Bazar, but when 
 quite plain, except for the hammer marking, they are convertible into 
 exquisite table decorations, if used to contain ferns or other small 
 plants. 
 
 THE SIKH CARVER. 
 
 Thaker Singh of Amritzar and his fellow-craftsmen in the Shikarpur 
 Bazaar are both first-class workmen, who have had the advantage of a 
 thorough course of training in the Lahore School of Art, where they 
 were kept strictly to their national style, which differs little from the 
 Royal Moghul style of Delhi and Agra. Thaker Singh is a carpenter as 
 well as a carver, the two arts being rightly considered as one in India. 
 
 THE SHOEMAKER. 
 
 Another necessary trade in preserving the Indian character of the 
 city is that of Narayan Chambar, the shoemaker, who is hard at work 
 with his cousin, Chambar Bapoo, and Aunt, Takoo Mahadeo — the shop 
 is in the Shikarpur Bazar — in supplyingthe native community with shoes 
 of strange shapes and of dubious comfort. Here the most advanced 
 civilization and simple savagery meet on equal grounds, and agree in 
 
THE INDIAN CITY. 
 
 361 
 
 torturing the human foot, in obedience to the merciless dictates of 
 passing fashion. 
 
 THE DHURREE WEAYERS. 
 
 Dehli Street terminates with the shop of the Dhurrie cotton 
 carpet weavers, Goorka Bin Baboojee and Sewram Bin Baboojee, both 
 of Satara. This class of carpet is the true " satringe," or floor cover- 
 ing of India, and is illustrated in the fourth century wall frescoes of 
 Ajanta. It is not akin to the woollen pile carpet of the Persians and 
 northern Asiatic nations, but closer in its method of manufacture 
 to tapestry, differing but little from the process of mat-making, 
 which is one of the oldest crafts of India. This shop is detached 
 from Messrs. Thomas P. Bontor & Co'.s carpet factory in Lucknow 
 Street beyond. 
 
 THE CHOWK. 
 
 Leaving Bombay Street a small open square is reached, named 
 the Chowk, the Mercery of mediaeval Europe. Here the elephants 
 stand for hire, and as many buns as the visitors may feel inclined to 
 buy for them. Although the largest and most solid of animals, the 
 elephant is the most restless, never remaining absolutely still for a 
 moment ; their strong leather anklets fastened by short chains to ring- 
 bolts in the ground should not, however, be mistaken for any means of 
 security, but only as a precaution against the natural tendency of the 
 elephant to move about, even when resting. 
 
 Keeping on the West side we arrive at a building differing in 
 appearance from anything surrounding it, and although somewhat 
 similar in its flamboyent carved decoration to the wooden architecture 
 of Nipaul in the North and Travancore in Southern India, the Bur- 
 mese Palace represents a distinct style. 
 
 THE BURMESE PALACE. 
 
 This beautiful building is situate in Bombay Street, Indian City, and 
 is from the design of C. Purden Clarke, Esq., CLE. It is an exact 
 representation of both a Gnau Daw (Palace) and a Kyoung 
 (Monastery). 
 
 Exterior. The building has an upper and lower roof with a 
 verandah, the latter being divided into two stalls — the whole of tho 
 ornamental work being in fibrous plaster in true imitation of the 
 handsome carved teakwood work to be seen on such buildings through- 
 out Burma. The roof is splendidly tiled in Burma colours, with the 
 patent self-lock roofing tiles. At the stalls are sold genuine Burmese 
 goods, such as unique teakwood (hand) carving, lacquer ware, brass 
 gongs, and golden and paper umbrellas, &c. ; also genuine Burmese 
 Cheroots, the same being rolled and sold by native girls — experts in 
 the business — from Monluvein. 
 
 The interior is a Burmese Pwe or Theatre, where quaint perform- 
 ances, consisting of dancing, singing, wrestling, &c, &c, are given 
 frequently from noon till closing time by a troupe of men and girls in 
 typical national costume accompanied by their native music. Tho

 mention that this is the first troupe of Burmese performers introduced 
 into England. 
 
 Any further information will he gladly furnished by the proprietors, 
 The London and Burma Merchandise Company, at the above Palace, 
 or 2, Lambeth Hill, Queen Victoria Street. 
 
 THE CARPET FACTORY. 
 
 Forming one side of the short street leading into the principal 
 square, the carpet factory of Messrs. T. Bontor & Co. represents one 
 of the Royal industries of India. In the " Ain-i-akbari," or " Chronicles 
 of Akbar the Great," it is written that the Emperor, solicitous for 
 the welfare of his people, and knowing that a large amount of money 
 was annually sent out of the country to pay for Persian and Turkish 
 carpets, he determined to establish carpet factories in various parts of 
 his Empire, where carpets should be made of qualities equal to the 
 finest produced abroad. This was carried into effect, and in Shrines, 
 Palaces, and Museums in India, fine carpets of the reign of Akbar and 
 his immediate successors are still preserved, and show that the Itoyal 
 command was successfully fulfilled. 
 
 It is only within a few years that these antique examples have been 
 discovered, and for a time very little use was made of them by those 
 engaged in the carpet trade. Their influence, however, began to tell 
 on the ordinary patterns, and when Her Majesty selected for the 
 Indian Hall at Osborne a reproduction of a sixteenth century carpet 
 in the Palace at Jeypore, a truly Royal and magnificent work of art, 
 these old patterns found favour, subject, however, to modifications 
 of tone, to suit the modern and somewhat vapid taste for faded 
 colourings. 
 
 The carpet on the loom in Messrs. Bontor's factory is a copy of one 
 of the carpets in the Mahommedan Shrine of the Assar Mahal Palace 
 of Bijapur, in the great hall of which thirteen carpets of different de- 
 signs, but of the same shape, have laid side by side for at least 250 
 years, covering the entire floor. 
 
 The total number of workers in the factory is seven, but two are 
 working the Dhurrie loom in Kalla Devi Street. The five engaged on 
 the Bijapur carpet are Heeralal Chotamul and Roop Singh Mohun, 
 both Hindus, and Mohammad Hussein Fanbai, of Ahmedabad, Amman 
 Hassan, of Bhownugger, and Shaik Wald Hussein, of Bengal, all 
 three Mahommadans. In the showroom Messrs. Bontor exhibit 
 carpets from their various factories in the Presidencies of India. 
 
 THE LAHORE SQUARE OR KOTWALI. 
 
 The grand Square is named the Kotwali, or Place of the Chief 
 Constable, whose office is generally to be found in this important 
 locality. The North side is bounded by the fortified and looplioled 
 walls and town gateway, protected by massive bastions surmounted. 
 with graceful domed pavilions. 
 
 In a Northern Indian city such a gateway, if facing north, would 
 be named after the Kashmir Road, as at Delhi ; this has been named 
 the Shakra Gate. As strangers within the gates, agents of the Exhi- 
 bition Company are occupying the two guard houses, now happily,

 no longer required, and there offer for sale the various stocks of 
 native art manufacture which were consigned by Indian makers, 
 who, being unable to come, entrusted their goods to the ships that 
 ventured over the Kala pani, relying on the good faith of the hurrah 
 sahibs of the English Koompanieh for their disposal to the best 
 advantage. 
 
 THE MOSQUE. 
 
 The Mosque, or, more properly speaking, Musjid, is an example of 
 ,uc style as tlie gateway, and although not a copy of any parti- 
 cular building, yet may be accepted as illustrating the beauties and 
 defects of the Moghul architecture of the early part of Shah Jehan's 
 reign. 
 
 All the characteristic parts of a town mosque have been faithfully 
 represented. A platform, or enclosed area, duly provided with a tank 
 for ablutions, and protected by an entrance porchway, whose dog- 
 rail excludes four-footed, and cautions two-footed intruders to leave 
 their shoes outside. 
 
 The Musjid proper is but a covered arcade of no less than three 
 arches, a sun shelter for the worshippers, who, in obedience to the 
 Koran, turn in the direction indicated by the prayer niche, the Mirhab. 
 This direction is called the Kiblah, and in all parts of the world is 
 nicely calculated by all true Moslems, with dial and astrolabe, in 
 order that when praying they may look towards the Holy City, whero 
 their father Abraham dedicated the temple which his descendants, 
 through the line of the badly used Isbmael, have maintained to this 
 day. 
 
 The remaining features are the three domes and two minarets, but 
 these are not strictly necessary. The dome formerly only marked the 
 position of a tomb to which a mosque was generally attached ; the 
 minarets, also, are not always used for the call to prayer, being often 
 only ornamental features with no means of access to their balconies. 
 
 the three archways are panels of enamelled tiles bearing the 
 following inscriptions : — 
 
 la illaka llta Allah. 
 There is no deity but God. 
 
 Bismiltah ar-rdhman-ar.rahim. 
 
 In the name of God the merciful and compassionate. 
 
 Mohammad rasoul. Allah. 
 Mohammed is tho apostle of God. 
 
 These tiles contrast well with the red sandstone of the building, 
 which, with the town gates, represents the produce of the quarries 
 near Agra, whence the walls of that city and those of Delhi, including 
 the Jama Musjid and many of tho principal buildings, were con- 
 structed. 
 
 THE BROCADE WEAVERS. 
 
 Facing tho Mosque, across the place, is the house of the Kincob 
 weaver, who has brought his loom and assistants from the city of 
 Benan s. 
 
 He is engaged in weaving a long red silk sari or shawl, with a deep 
 border at each end in cloth of gold, the pattern of which is named 
 

 f 
 
 364 
 
 THE INDIAN CITY. 
 
 " shikargurh," or hunting ground. It is one of the most favourite 
 designs, and consists of hunters and animals playing hide and seek 
 amongst dense foliage and bright flowers. 
 
 The loom on which this elaborate work is produced is a draw loom, 
 similar to that still used in China and Japan, and to those worked 
 in Europe before the invention of the Jacquard loom, at the begin- 
 ning of this century. The principal difference is that the draw loom 
 requires several assistants to produce the pattern, which in the 
 Jacquard is worked automatically by one man. 
 
 The weavers are Saj Mull Hussein, Sassa Dup Hussein, Abdul 
 Kafcur, and Unwar Hussein, all Moslems of the Shiah or Persian 
 Sect. 
 
 THE COTTON OPENER. 
 
 In a small shop on the right of the weavers, Budh-ud-din is 
 employed in opening cotton wool with a curious instrument which 
 resembles a single-stringed harp. This he twangs amid the pressed 
 cotton flock, causing it to open out ready for spinning into thread. 
 It is a simple but wide-spread trade, his fellows being found in every 
 bazaar, from Tunis to Calcutta. 
 
 THE CHA MAHAL TEA HOUSE. 
 
 On the south side of the square, immediately opposite the gateway, 
 is a large building, which, in India, would be the principal public 
 office. It is in a later style, and represents the best work of the last 
 century. Such buildings are more often found within the enclosed 
 gardens of the royal palaces, and are named Bara daree, or pavilions. 
 They were well adapted for holding the royal courts when the lesser 
 public functions allowed of a smaller attendance. In the present 
 instance it has been appropriated to the public service, and used as a 
 tea restaurant, with a special view of allowing the choicest Indian teas 
 to be obtained in the leaf or tea-cup. This duty has been undertaken 
 by Messrs. French & Langdale, tea importers, of St. Dunstan's Hill, 
 and is carried on under the auspices of the Indian Tea Districts Asso- 
 ciation, the representatives of the Calcutta Tea Syndicate in London, 
 thus assuring every care being taken in furthering the interests of the 
 Indian tea growers, who nowadays have so excelled the Chinese that 
 their only anxiety is to prevent the adulteration of their teas with the 
 inferior and cheaper products of China. 
 
 THE BHERA WOOD-CARYERS. 
 
 Passing to the right of the tea-house we look in at the shop of Juma 
 Alladin and Mohammed Baksh, wood-carvers from Bhera, an out- 
 of-the-way town near the Miani Salt Range in the North-Western 
 Punjab, situated near the Indus, and not far from the place where the 
 timber felled in the upper reaches of the river is collected after a 
 voyage of several hundred miles. The town of Bhera is built of wood, 
 principally soft deodar cedar, and it is difficult to find a house 
 the front of which is not elaborately carved. These two carvers were 
 brought to England in 1885 to carve the paneling of the Durbar Iloom 
 in the 1886 Exhibition, which was so greatly admired, and afterwards 
 
THE INDIAN CITY. 
 
 365 
 
 was purchased by Lord Brassey and re-erected in his house at Park 
 Lane. The men are Mahommedans of the Suni sect. 
 
 THE SWEETMEAT MAKERS. 
 
 The next house brings us again into the Cliowk, of which it forms 
 the western side. Its verandah and floor are raised high above the 
 street, and here Grish Ghunder Eoy and Ram Govind Cala Batty, 
 sweetmeat makers of Calcutta, produce tho dainties which all natives, 
 and a few Anglo-Indians, relish so greatly. 
 
 THE SHIKARPUR BAZAAR. 
 
 Leaving the Chowk on the left and continuing southwards the 
 Shikarpur Bazar is reached, and here again busy artisans are at work 
 in their open shops, sheltered from the sun in Scindh fashion by high 
 projecting verandahs. 
 
 THE COPPERSMITH. 
 
 The first to be noticed is Laloah, the coppersmith, a Hindoo of good 
 caste and a very expert workman in shaping, from sheet brass and 
 copper, lotahs and other vessels which form the principal furniture of 
 the Hindoo household. On the floor is a simple furnace with a goat- 
 skin bellows, used for brazing and annealing the metal. 
 
 THE SHOEMAKER. 
 
 Next, the shoemaker, Chambar Bapoo, of Poona, and his mother, 
 Saker Mahadeo, a shoe-embroiderer, whose nephew, Naryan, has a 
 shop in Kalba Devi Street. Besides shoes and boots worn by Hindoos 
 and Mahommedans they also make sandals, which often Europeans in 
 Kashmir prefer to wear during walking tours or hill-climbing. 
 
 THE TURNER. 
 
 The turners are Benares men, and work at a lathe of the most primi- 
 tive form, it being merely a loose spindle held by the strap which 
 revolves it against notches in two upright posts. With this simple 
 instrument they produce both round and hollow ware, finishing it off 
 with a coating of bright lacquer which is melted on to the surface of 
 the wood by friction. This lacquer, is applied in the form of sticks of 
 sealing-wax of various colours, and is actually of the same composition 
 as the ordinary sealing-wax used in Europe. They make the best of 
 toys for small children ; the surface keeps clean and bright, and they 
 are almost unbreakable. The turner's name is Rameshwar Ganesh, 
 his assistant, whoso duty is to keep the spindle revolving by pulling 
 the two ends of the strap which is wound round it, bears the name of 
 Juggersha Gopal, both being Hindoos. 
 
 THE CARPENTER. 
 
 On the opposite side is the shop of Vasher Singh, a Sikh carpenter 
 of Amritzar, an excellent workman and a prize student of the Lahore 
 

 366 THE INDIAN CITY. 
 
 School of Art. The carving producod at Amritzar is nearly tin best 
 in style and execution that can be found in Northern India : it B puro 
 Mogul work, and all the carvers have a thorough knowledge )f the 
 sizes and proportions of the several parts of the architectural forms 
 used in the decoration of buildings or of furniture. The best examples 
 of modern Sikh workmanship at present in England are by Ram 
 Singh, the Indian Hall at Osborne Palace, and the paneling )f the 
 billiard-room at Bagshot, made at Amritzar for H.B.H. the Dike of 
 Connaught. 
 
 BRASS CHASERS. 
 
 Next to the turner we find Ghazadar of Benares, a brass chase-, wh 
 is working in the characteristic style of that city ; and in the las: shop 
 on the left hand side, Gunput Fulcimid of Poona, another brass 
 chaser. Although both Hindoos, their work will be found to differ 
 very greatly in style, the Benares worker following the flowing llogul 
 ornamentation of Northern India, whilst the Poona worker keeps 
 thoroughly to Hindoo forms, which seem to belong more properly to 
 wood carving than metal chasing. 
 
 FIGURE MODELLERS. 
 
 In two shops almost opposite to each other Kisenchund Herald and 
 Beharilol Suchalall, both of Lucknow, show the whole art of modelling 
 the small terra-cotta figures which are so popular with Anglo-Im ians, 
 and if it is noticed that they use moulds for portions of the figures it 
 must be understood that it is only to save time when constant y re- 
 peating the same form, and that they are only following the example 
 of the Greek makers of the exquisito Tanagra figures which rank 
 amongst the most beautiful art works of antiquity. These Luccnow 
 men are expert modellers, and quick in catching a likeness, hut the 
 demand for large quantities of work at a very reduced price has done 
 much to lower the standard of their art. 
 
 COTTON PRINTER AND DYER. 
 
 The right-hand corner shop of the Shikarpur bazaar leading back 
 again into tho Maidan, and the adjacent shop in the Squar: arc 
 occupied by two trades which probably contribute more than anj < hers 
 towards the brightness of aspect of an Indian crowd either in the 
 busy marts of commenco or when trooping in their thousands on 
 festival days to some shrino or £>lacc of public amusement. The first 
 isKoolfa Aly Seyod, of Allahabad, cotton printer, who, with astc k of 
 wooden hand-blocks and a few pads of colour, rapidly covers white and 
 coloured cloth with rich patterns. Ho is tho representative o: tho 
 chintz manufacturers of tho seventeenth century — whoso goods were 
 so greatly estimated in Europe that laws woro passed in Englai d as 
 well as other countries excluding them as detrimental to the homo 
 trade. In the present day Manchester goods have taken the placo }f all 
 the higher class chintzes, but there is still plenty to do for the native 
 printer, and he has especially the field to himself when, on certain 
 occasions, he is engaged in printing, with Dutch metal, gold and silver, 
 rich pattens upon the flimsiest and commonest cottons dyed of a deep 
 
THE INDIAN CITY. 
 
 367 
 
 red and blue. Those avo in great request for lower class weddings and 
 festivals, and take the place of the rich cloth of gold worn by the 
 Rajah people and wealthy merchants. As his name implies, he is not 
 only a Mahommedan but a Seyed, an actual descendant of the Prophet. 
 His neighbour, Said Aly Jehangeer Ali, the dyer, keeps the whole of 
 the native community in bright coloured puggaree or turban cloths, 
 and is ready to dye pieces of stuff to any shades of the beautiful 
 colours he exhibits in his shop. He is also an expert in the old- 
 fashioned bandana work known in England as "tye and dye." This 
 process consists in pinching up a succession of small spots in a piece 
 of stuff so as to form a pattern, tying each of the small points with 
 fine thread ; the piece of stuff when tied is thrown into the dye vat and 
 absorbs the dye excepting where protected with the thread. When 
 fixed and dried it is unpicked, and each spot shows as a small square 
 with a dot in the centre The bandana handkerchief, formerly brought 
 home by our sailors, derived its name from the Persian word banda, 
 signifying anything bound or tied. 
 
 Wo are now back in the Maidan, and cannot do better than explore 
 the wonders contained within the groat theatre building, which Mr, 
 Rowland Ward has completely filled with his scenes of Iudian jungle 
 life. 
 
 THE JUNGLE, AND INDIAN ANIMAL LIFE. DESIGNED AND 
 
 ARRANGED, AND THE ANIMALS MODELLED, BY 
 
 ROWLAND WARD, F.Z.S. 
 
 In the present Exhibition Mr. Rowland Ward, the eminent naturalist, 
 has provided instruction and amusement to the thousands in whose 
 breasts the love of nature and animal-life is implanted. We can only 
 touch on a few salient points, and the most striking groups in this 
 varied series of tableaux. As we enter our attention is at once 
 attracted to the first opening on the right, which takes us into the 
 regions beyond Kashmir and Ladakh. Here we see grouped the 
 various denizens of these parts : on the left herds of Thibetan ante- 
 lope, away on high bluffs the wary ibex and noble sheep of the Hima- 
 layas. Round cue corner peers a brown bear, away to the left aro 
 seen leopards on the prowl, their eager glance fixed on the distant 
 ibex. Passing onwards, we come to the margin of a pool, where are 
 to be seen huge crocodiles, aquatic birds, and mid the reeds, further 
 on, a herd of huge wild buffaloes and bison. Hore the rhinoceros 
 wallows in the marsh ; there, on higher ground, is a family of black 
 bears. The most graceful of all antelopes, the black buck, is here 
 represented in a life-like herd. Pythons in knotted tangles on the 
 trees, birds of every hue, from the gorgeous tragopansto the clustering 
 parrakects. As we pass on wo come to a terrific combat between aa 
 elephant and two tigers, one of which lies on the foreground writhing 
 in the throes of death, whilst tho other is pinned clown by its ponderous 
 antagonist. A little further on shows us a panther preparing to enjoy 
 a meal off a beautiful peacock, whilst the wild boar dashes out of the 
 brake, startling into flight a colony of peafowl. A spotted stag has 
 been seized by a hunting leopard ; monkeys leap in alarm on the 
 branches of the trees, whilst an affrighted antelope bounds away from 
 

 368 
 
 THE INDIAN CITY. 
 
 the proximity of a gaunt grey wolf. Further on, in calm dignity, 
 reposes an Indian lion. Panthers prowl round some rocks, and a 
 sullen hyaena slouches away on the other side. Passing onward, the 
 next tableau exhibits an episode in Indian sporting life, which has, 
 alas ! been too frequent. The tiger has attacked the sportsman. 
 Another gruesome picture succeeds this, it is an illustration of the 
 story of the dreaded man-eating panther of Kahani, about to seize a 
 sleeping native. The last scene represents the verandah of a sports- 
 man's bungalow, where, in a corner, are piled up tho trophies of his 
 skill.

 2 feet G inches to G feet wide, but made in many sizes for 
 every domestic purpose, hotels or large institutions. These 
 ranges can bo made witli every description of boiler, or can 
 be arranged to do cooking by steam. The Manufacturers 
 claim the following advantages for the Range, that it has 
 all iron flues of a very prominent character, so that the 
 Range never becomes erratic in its working, and is inde- 
 pendent of bricklayer's work when it is first fixed, that the 
 fire can be used either open or closed. Tho size of the fire 
 can be diminished or increased just as required, the small

 fire heating ovens and hot plates, while the large fire is 
 used for roasting in front. 
 
 The ovens are specially adapted for roasting meat per- 
 fectly, or baking the most delicate pastry, the pastry-oven 
 being heated on the principle of those used by pastry-cooks. 
 
 A great economy of fuel is effected, and the Range works 
 with thorough efficiency and the utmost cleanliness. 
 
 The " Gold Medal Eagle Fire Grate." This is made in all 
 sizes suitable for different mantel-pieces, and is made and 
 shown in various qualities of style and finish. The special 
 advantages claimed for these are, that the speed of combus- 
 tion can be regulated to any degree, as required. The fire 
 can be lighted, and a good heat obtained in a few minutes by 
 a quick speed of combustion, or, on the other hand, the fire 
 can be made to keep alight fourteen hours without atten- 
 tion, and the grate can be used at any speed of combustion 
 between the two extremes. It is very economical in fuel, 
 is perfectly safe, and the system of regulating doors admits 
 of the room being cither warmed or cooled, just as may be 
 required. 
 
 A very important feature is shown in connection with tho 
 cooking-range, the oven-doors having glass panels in them, 
 which admit of the cooking being watched, and nothing is 
 spoiled or injured by the fire, heat, or by the opening of the 
 oven-door, which so seriously affects bread and pastry. The 
 glass does not crack, and steam does not condense on it, 
 and it is considered one of the greatest improvements that 
 has been effected for many years.

 Armour's Extract of Beef is served gratis in the form of a

 other extracts, Armour's has no burnt taste, but retains the 
 pleasant natural flavour of prime beef. 
 
 It is most handy and convenient for general cooking, and 
 makes many dainty, appetizing dishes (see Cookery books). 
 Being the most concentrated Extract, it goes furthest, and 
 is cheapest to use. 
 
 It makes delicious sandwiches for camping, boating, or 
 picnicing. 
 Armour's Vigoral is a nourishing beef food prepared from the 
 Beef Extract by the addition of pure beef fibre, suitably 
 seasoned. It is much valued by cyclists and all athletes 
 for its stamina and strength-giving powers, and is used by 
 the leading gymnastic instructors for strength, nourish- 
 ment, and refreshment.

SEASON TICKET ARRANGEMENTS. 
 
 381 
 
 The Directors have introduced this important element with the two- 
 fold ohject of giving exceptional advantages to Season Ticket Holders, 
 and in the interests of Exhibitors and Artists by securing for them a 
 large and important sale of their works, thus rendering tangible assist- 
 ance to the cause of Art. 
 
 ADVANTAGES TO ARTISTS AND EXHIBITORS. 
 
 Its advantages will be apparent from the fact that every subscriber 
 of 10/6, instead of receiving (as is usual under the ordinary system of 
 Art Unions) an engraving or some other form of Art workmanship, 
 necessarily rendered common-place by reason of its extensive multi- 
 plication, and which in point of intrinsic value bears little comparison 
 with the amount subscribed, will, in addition to receiving the full 
 value of his subscription in the shape of a Season Ticket for the 
 Exhibition, participate in the Annual Prize Drawing. 
 
 The Works of Art and Prizes will be selected by the Managing 
 Committeo of tho Art Union, who, from their connection with the 
 Exhibition, will possess exceptional facilities for purchasing at reason- 
 able prices.
