Condizione: Near Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: Near Fine. First Edition. At the age of twenty-eight, Honoria set off for India to marry a man whom she had last seen nine years before. Brought up in Ireland, one of a large family, she was a woman of strong character and conviction. Her husband, Sir Henry Lawrence, a highly respected administrator of the Punjab and hero of Lucknow, travelled widely in India, accompanied by Honoria. Throughout her travels she kept journals in which she described life and culture in her new country, a world apart from home in Ireland, as well as personal messages and thoughts addressed to Henry, who regularly read her journal. At other times she wrote for her son at school in England, pointing out items of interest to a child, accompanied by sketches, family anecdotes and the occasional motherly encouragement about his studies and future. Honoria revelled in her new life in India with Henry and their children. She scorned the tedium and boredom that was the lot of most European women, preferring travel, in primitive and sometimes dangerous conditions. She was the first white woman to visit Kashmir and the first to live in Nepal, a country which guarded its independence fiercely. Her journals transport the reader to another age and culture. Here is India observed, seen through questioning eyes. Honoria Lawrence vividly depicts life in India in the years before the Mutiny. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. 253 pages.
