A Tea Planter’s Life in Assam.

First Edition. “The following pages by a rough Planter, which have not the slightest pretension to literary merit, may perhaps be found entertaining as well as useful to all interested in one of India’s principal industries, namely Tea - its planting, growth and manufacture; the strange surroundings, human and animal, of the European resident; the trying climate, and the daily life of the Planter who toils in the jungle far from civilization to provide the civilized with their cheering beverage.”

8vo. Frontispiece and numerous line-drawn illustrations to the text. ?Author’s gift inscription to the verso of the front free endpaper, “To Willie from his Uncle George, Xmas 1902.” Light browning, otherwise very good in the original forest green cloth, gilt, just a little rubbed.
