Reminiscences Of Sport In India is a book written by Edmund Francis Burton and first published in 1885. The book is a collection of essays and stories about the author's experiences with various sports in India during the mid-19th century. Burton was an avid sportsman and spent many years in India, where he participated in a wide range of sports including hunting, polo, cricket, and horse racing. In this book, he shares his personal experiences and observations on these sports, as well as the culture and traditions surrounding them.The book is divided into several chapters, each focusing on a different sport or aspect of Indian sporting culture. Burton provides detailed descriptions of the equipment, rules, and techniques used in each sport, as well as anecdotes and personal reflections on his own experiences.In addition to the sports themselves, Burton also discusses the social and cultural significance of sports in India, including the role of sports in colonial society and the interactions between British and Indian sportsmen.Overall, Reminiscences Of Sport In India provides a fascinating glimpse into the world of sports in colonial India, as well as the personal experiences and perspectives of one of its most enthusiastic participants.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
