HEBER, Reginald.
Narrative of a journey through the Upper Provinces of India from Calcutta to Bombay, 1824-5 ... : an account of a journey to Madras and the Southern Provinces, 1826 ... / Reginald Heber bp. of Calcutta
A valuable and most delightful work. Reginald Heber (1783-1826) was an English clergyman, traveler, a man of letters, and a hymn-writer who, after working as a country parson for 16 years, served as the Anglican Bishop of Calcutta until his sudden death at the age of 42. On June 15th, 1824, Heber set out on a tour of northern India. This book is an account of that journey.
