Old Books Links
This is a digital copy of a book that was
preserved for generations on library shelves before it was carefully
scanned by Google as part of a project to make the world’s books
discoverable online.
It has survived long enough for the copyright to expire and the book
to enter the public domain. A public domain book is one that was
never subject to copyright or whose legal copyright term has
expired. Whether a book is in the public domain may vary country to
country. Public domain books are our gateways to the past,
representing a wealth of history, culture and knowledge that’s
often difficult to discover.
Marks, notations and other marginalia present in the original volume
will appear in this file - a reminder of this book’s long journey
from the publisher to a library and finally to you.
Usage guidelines
Google is proud to partner with libraries to
digitize public domain materials and make them widely accessible.
Public domain books belong to the public and we are merely their
custodians. Nevertheless, this work is expensive, so in order to
keep providing this resource, we have taken steps to prevent abuse
by commercial parties, including placing technical restrictions on
automated querying.
We also ask that you:
+ Make non-commercial use of the files We designed
Google Book Search for use by individuals, and we request that you
use these files for personal, non-commercial purposes.
+ Refrain from automated querying Do not send
automated queries of any sort to Google’s system: If you are
conducting research on machine translation, optical character
recognition or other areas where access to a large amount of text is
helpful, please contact us. We encourage the use of public domain
materials for these purposes and may be able to help.
+ Maintain attribution The Google “watermark” you
see on each file is essential for informing people about this
project and helping them find additional materials through Google
Book Search. Please do not remove it.
+ Keep it legal Whatever your use, remember that you
are responsible for ensuring that what you are doing is legal. Do
not assume that just because we believe a book is in the public
domain for users in the United States, that the work is also in the
public domain for users in other countries. Whether a book is still
in copyright varies from country to country, and we can’t offer
guidance on whether any specific use of any specific book is
allowed. Please do not assume that a book’s appearance in Google
Book Search means it can be used in any manner anywhere in the
world. Copyright infringement liability can be quite severe.

Adventures In The Province of Assam,
During A Residence of Fourteen Years
By Major John Butler
55th Regt. Bengal Native Infantry
Principal Assist. Agent to the Governor Gen.
N.E. Frontier of Assam
and Author of "A Sketch of Assam"
Published in London in 1855
The Preface
reads:
"The present volume, which is a continuation of the author's
former work "A Sketch of Assam" is intended to describe
the habits, customs and manners of the remaining wild tribes of the
hills, viz., Angahmee Nigahs, Kookies, Meekirs, and Rengma Nagahs,
with whom a lengthened residence rendered him intimately acquanted.
The adventures and travels will also illustrate the life of an officer in the civil employ in Assam. The work concludes with a statistical account of the amount and the mode of realizing the revenue, and the physical and moral condition of the people of the district of Now-Gong. As the Indian Government has been please to allow the author to derive his information from official correspondence, its authenticity may be relied on, and he entertains a hope that his labours will not be deemed uninteresting or valueless. 1854"
