Book Description
Excerpt from The Overland Guide-Book: A Complete Vade-Mecum for the Overland Traveller The communication with India by means of steam-vessels, viii the Mediterranean and the Red sea, having, at length, resolved itself into a settled system, the time has arrived for placing before the public such facts, details and sugges tions, connected with what is popularly called The Over land Route, as shall facilitate the performance of the voyage, from the hour when the resolution to proceed to India or to Europe is taken, down to that which sees the traveller safely deposited at his destination. The sea route round the Cape of Good Hope must, for a considerable time, have its partisans, in spite of the tedium, extra risk and absence of all objects of interest, which necessarily distinguish such a voyage. False notions of economy, groundless apprehensions, peculiar ideas of comfort and ancient prejudices, cannot be immediately dissipated, especially when so many encouragements to their continuance exist in the beautiful trading-vessels, which offer accommodation to the public, commanded by gentlemen, whose courtesy and scavoz'r vivre are only equalled by their nautical experience.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Overland Guide-Book: A Complete Vade-Mecum for the Overland Traveller, to India Via Egypt The purpose of this little volume, which I have now the honour to submit to the public, is to combine, in a compact and convenient form, all the information necessary to the prosecution of the journey overland to India and vice versâ. Scarcely a day passes that I am not asked, either personally or by letter, to guide some intending traveller in his arrangements for the trip, and even to advise him as to the preferable routes, the expense, the manner of the voyage, c.Ignorance on all these points induces inapposite and irrelevant questions; and it is not unusual to find, at the end of correspondence or a prolonged interview, that the querist is as far from the possession of the knowledge he desired to acquire as he was when he first preferred his application. No clear and satisfactory information can possibly be obtained by a desultory conversation or fragmentary epistles; hence the value of a systematic and comprehensive arrangement of all the facts and suggestions pertaining to the subject.
