1853 VOYAGES to CHINA 1^ed Taylor India Japan Asia Calcutta Shanghai Mughals

Bayard Taylor was a 19^th-century travel writer whose abundant notes and reports have been referenced for decades since the mid-1800s. Taylor’s writings have even been quoted by politicians and authors who supported his racial discriminatory views. In 1853, Taylor took a journey to Asia where he toured India, China, and Japan which led to a book describing his adventures – ‘A visit to India, China, and Japan’.

As to be expected with a 19^th-century travelogue, this book describes scenery and natural landscapes, traditions and customs of people groups, palaces and architectural feats, and histories of Mogul Empire, Shanghai, Calcutta, and much more.
