Emma Roberts (c.1794-1840) was a jobbing writer who was largely forced to India by the posting of her brother-in-law to Bengal. She loved the country but hated the isolated Anglo-Indian society, writing 'there cannot be a more wretched situation than that of a young woman in India who has been induced to follow the fortunes of her married sister under the delusive expectation that she will exchange the privations of limited means in England for the far-famed luxuries of the East.'

First edition; 2 vols, 4to (27.5 x 22 cm); 2 frontispieces (1 a Baxter colour-print), 2 additional engraved title pages with pictorial vignettes, 60 engraved plates dated 1834, a little spotting; contemporary half calf, marbled boards, spine gilt in five compartments, a little rubbed, a very good copy; 68; 64 pp.
