Description

About The Book: Handbook for India and Egypt (1841) by George Parbury is a travelogue detailing his journey from Calcutta to England via Allahabad, Agra, Delhi, Simla, Bombay, and Egypt. It offers insights into colonial India, cultural encounters, and travel conditions of the time. Though initially published anonymously, it gained attention but was criticized by J. H. Stocqueler for lacking practical travel guidance. The book remains a valuable historical account of 19th-century travel routes and experiences between India, Egypt, and Europe.
