A pioneering piece of travel writing, Anne Katharine Elwood's Narrative of a Journey Overland (1830) describes sights from cathedrals to pyramids, and deserts to termites. Volume 2 familiarises readers with the customs, habits, castes and religions of Indian society, and includes a startling account of snakes and lizards.
