The work encompasses a vast and fascinating range of topics, including meticulous descriptions of acceptable dress codes for European males and females and an exposition on “the Manners of the Natives!” Today, the chief scholarly value of the book lies in its construction of Indian history, politics and culture from a 19th century European frame of reference”.

Un giovane indiano delle tribù Bhil è riuscito a sorprendere una tigre reale che terrorizzava i villaggi nei dintorni di Bombay. L'ha assalita decisamente e tenendole ferme le zampe nella morsa delle sue mani, permise al fratello di decapitarla con un colpo d'accetta." "Tragedia mentre si gira sull'abisso. Da bordo di un elicottero un operatore cinematografico stava riprendendo le fasi di una scalata sul Campanil Basso di Brenta, quando poco più in la due rocciatori, impegnati su un'altra via difficilissima, sono precipitati uccidendosi e restando poi appesi per la corda a una sporgenza della rupe.".
