Description - Hobson-Jobson by A. C. Burnell

This is the standard source-book of the Anglo-Indian language. It not only reveals the origins of many words of Indian origin which have been insinuating themselves into English since the end of the reign of Elizabeth I, but as importantly allows the reader to experience in depth the way of life in 19th-century colonial India.
