Early Travels In India

Early Travels in India: First Series, Comprising Purchas�������s Pilgrimage, and the Travels of Van Linschoten (1864) is a book written by Samuel Purchas. The book is a compilation of two travel accounts, namely Purchas�������s Pilgrimage and The Travels of Van Linschoten. The first account, Purchas�������s Pilgrimage, is a narrative of the author's travels to India in the early 17th century. The second account, The Travels of Van Linschoten, is a translation of the Dutchman Jan Huygen van Linschoten's travelogue, which describes his journey to India in the late 16th century. The book provides a detailed account of India during the early modern period, including its geography, culture, and customs. It also sheds light on the European presence in India during that time, including the Portuguese, Dutch, and English traders and explorers. The book is a valuable resource for historians, researchers, and anyone interested in the history of India and its early interactions with the Western world.Being Reprints Of Rare And Curious Narratives Of Old Travelers In India, In The Sixteenth And Seventeenth Centuries.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
