Transcript | I 24 LXXXIII. An English Villa on the Banks of the Nerbudda in Guzerat. This Villa, situated in the Village of Vezelpoor, near Baroche, is particularly described in the Memoirs, with its gardens and accompaniments. The view presents a little scene endeared to the author by many tender recollections; and is introduced. into these volumes with a view of giving the European reader some idea of what is called a Garden House, in those distant regions, He that holds fast the golden mean, And lives contentedly between The little and the great, Feels not the wants that pinch the poor, Nor plagues that haunt the rich man's door, Imbittering all his state. Hobace, by Cowper. ■ LXXXIV. A Hindoo Family of the Banian caste, (front, to Vol 2. 8vo.) This is engraved from my earliest drawing, attempting to represent the Costume of the Natives, and the rural scenery in India; it was made in one of those spots frequently alluded to in the Memoirs whither, the Hindoos are fond of retiring with their families. LXXXV. Portrait of the Author, (front, to Vol. 1. 8vo>) |
