Life and Work in Benares and Kumaon, 1839-1877 is a book written by James Kennedy and published in 1884. The book is a firsthand account of the author's experiences living and working in the Indian cities of Benares and Kumaon during the mid-19th century. Kennedy was a Scottish missionary who spent nearly four decades in India, and his book provides detailed descriptions of the culture, customs, and daily life of the people he encountered during his time there. He also writes extensively about his work as a missionary, detailing his efforts to spread Christianity and improve the lives of the people he worked with.The book is divided into two parts, with the first half focusing on Kennedy's experiences in Benares, a city considered to be one of the holiest in India by Hindus. He writes about the city's religious significance, its bustling markets, and the various social and cultural customs he observed during his time there.The second half of the book focuses on Kennedy's experiences in the Kumaon region, a mountainous area in northern India. Here, he writes about the challenges of living and working in a remote and often difficult environment, as well as the unique customs and traditions of the people who lived there.Overall, Life and Work in Benares and Kumaon, 1839-1877 is a fascinating firsthand account of life in India during the mid-19th century, offering insights into the culture, customs, and daily life of the people who lived there, as well as the experiences of a Scottish missionary working to improve their lives.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
