Everybody
knows
that
the
great
reversed
triangle
of
land
,
with
its
base
in
the
north
and
its
apex
in
the
south
,
which
is
called
India
,
embraces
fourteen
hundred
thousand
square
miles
,
upon
which
is
spread
unequally
a
population
of
one
hundred
and
eighty
millions
of
souls
.
The
British
Crown
exercises
a
real
and
despotic
dominion
over
the
larger
portion
of
this
vast
country
,
and
has
a
governor-general
stationed
at
Calcutta
,
governors
at
Madras
,
Bombay
,
and
in
Bengal
,
and
a
lieutenant-governor
at
Agra
.

But
British
India
,
properly
so
called
,
only
embraces
seven
hundred
thousand
square
miles
,
and
a
population
of
from
one
hundred
to
one
hundred
and
ten
millions
of
inhabitants
.
A
considerable
portion
of
India
is
still
free
from
British
authority
;
and
there
are
certain
ferocious
rajahs
in
the
interior
who
are
absolutely
independent
.

The
celebrated
East
India
Company
was
all-powerful
from
1756,
when
the
English
first
gained
a
foothold
on
the
spot
where
now
stands
the
city
of
Madras
,
down
to
the
time
of
the
great
Sepoy
insurrection
.
It
gradually
annexed
province
after
province
,
purchasing
them
of
the
native
chiefs
,
whom
it
seldom
paid
,
and
appointed
the
governor-general
and
his
subordinates
,
civil
and
military
.
But
the
East
India
Company
has
now
passed
away
,
leaving
the
British
possessions
in
India
directly
under
the
control
of
the
Crown
.

The
aspect
of
the
country
,
as
well
as
the
manners
and
distinctions
of
race
,
is
daily
changing
.
Formerly
one
was
obliged
to
travel
in
India
by
the
old
cumbrous
methods
of
going
on
foot
or
on
horseback
,
in
palanquins
or
unwieldly
coaches
;
now
fast
steamboats
ply
on
the
Indus
and
the
Ganges
,
and
a
great
railway
,
with
branch
lines
joining
the
main
line
at
many
points
on
its
route
,
traverses
the
peninsula
from
Bombay
to
Calcutta
in
three
days
.

This
railway
does
not
run
in
a
direct
line
across
India
.
The
distance
between
Bombay
and
Calcutta
,
as
the
bird
flies
,
is
only
from
one
thousand
to
eleven
hundred
miles
;
but
the
deflections
of
the
road
increase
this
distance
by
more
than
a
third
.
