SynopsisExcerpt from A Mission to the Mysore: With Scenes and Facts Illustrative of India, Its People, and Its Religion Fifty-five years! They have been among the most fateful years of India's history. Think of the changes which they have wrought in her outside relationships. England is now only a fortnight from her shores, and each evening the cable tells her what of importance all the rest of the world has done that day. India is not any longer islanded from every other nation. The whole world obtrudes itself upon her, mingles its interests with hers, and compels her attention. Her old aloofness has become impossible; her old disdain could henceforth be only a silly anachronism. Within, the changes have been still more impressive and potential. The Mutiny first tested, and then con firmed, British supremacy; the East India Company has been superseded by the Crown; railways and telegraphs have been making for political unity and a national sentiment; and education - inviting both sexes and all classes, displacing ancient and venerable fables in favour of history and modern science, and provoking such literary activity as India has not often known before - has set on foot a revolution.
