Frederickson [1823-1900], an amateur biologist, published this work based on his diary of travels in 1870-1 and 1876-78 detailing his expeditions to India, Ceylon, Indonesia, China, and North America. Five of the twelve chapters are devoted to India. The attractive plates detail the native population as well as details of the plants and fruit of the area.
