Paperback. Zustand: New. Language: English. About The Book: Travels in India a Hundred Years Ago; With a Visit to the United States is a collection of notes and reminiscences written by a British traveler, reflecting on their experiences in India and the United States during the 19th century. The book offers insights into the social, cultural, and political landscapes of India during British colonial rule, as well as the contrast with American society. The author's observations provide a unique perspective on the world at the time, capturing the essence of travel, encounters, and the global exchanges that shaped the era. It serves as both a historical document and personal reflection. About The Author: Thomas Twining (16751741) was an English merchant and the founder of Twinings, the renowned tea company. Born in Painswick, Gloucestershire, he moved to London at age 9 and became a Freeman in 1701. In 1706, he purchased Tom's Coffee House on the Strand, where he started selling tea alongside coffee, eventually focusing on tea by 1734. Twining expanded his business and bought Dial House in Twickenham, which remained in the family for generations. After his death, his son Daniel inherited the business. Twining's legacy endures, with the company still thriving today. He is buried at St Mary's Church, Twickenham. and William Twining (17901835) was a British military surgeon who worked in the Indian Subcontinent. Born to Reverend William Twining, his family hailed from Twining, Gloucestershire, with distant ties to Richard Twining of the Twinings tea family. Twining studied medicine at Guy's Hospital and served as personal surgeon to Edward Paget, Governor of Ceylon. In 1824, he became Assistant Surgeon to the Bengal Establishment. In 1835, he wrote the first modern clinical description of kala azar, calling it "tropical sprue," identifying its symptoms and linking it to tropical climates. His work contributed significantly to understanding the disease.
