1861rif. 30491033 Norland Square Notting Hill 1861. 4pp. 12mo. Old folds. 4pp. 12mo. Born in Bombay in 1799 Duncan was the illegitimate son of the Governor of Bombay. Duncan's father's wealth enabled him to pursue a literary life and he published regularly from 1825-57. He summarises the work thus: "The object of this book is to enable those who have never studied India to acquire a knowledge of its institutions with the best possible expenditure of time." A book on India would be seemingly inevitable for a writer with his background yet the work described here was seemingly never published. unknown
