Book Description
SOME time ago I wrote a book about a voyage in a whaler to the far south, to a white, silent land where the sun shines all day and night and it is quiet as the grave and beautiful as heaven-when it is not blowing and black as -the other place! A number of people said they liked it, and asked me to write again; therefore these notes and sketches on a Journey to India and Burmah. They may not be so interesting as notes about Antarctic adventure and jolly old Shell Backs and South Spainers on a whaler; but one journal ought at least, to be a contrast to the other...William Gordon Burn Murdoch was a Scottish painter, travel writer and explorer. Murdoch travelled widely including India and both the Arctic and the Antarctic. He is said to be the first person to have played the bagpipes in the Antarctic. He published several travel books as well as being an accomplished artist.

Book Description
Excerpt from From Edinburgh to India and Burmah English, and that the notes will help to explain the sketches if they are not sufficiently academical for the general reader, and moreover, I fondly believe that any journal written in the East in these years of grace 1905-6, must catch a little re ected interest from the historic visit of their Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princess of Wales to India and Burmah. Edinburgh is our point of departure; the date 13th Oct. And the hour 10 p.m. All journeys seem to me to begin in Edinburgh, from the moment my baggage is on the dickey and the word Waverley is given to the cabby. On this occasion we have three cabs, and a pile of baggage, for six months clothing for hot and cold places, and sketching, shooting, and fishing things take space. I trundle down to the station in advance with the luggage, and leave G. And her maid to follow, and thus miss the tearful parting with domestics in our marble halls Good-bye Auld Reekie, good-bye. Parting with you is not all sorrow; yet before we cross the Old Town I begin to wonder why I leave you to paint abroad for I am positive your streets are just as picturesque and as dirty and as paintable as any to be found in the world, Perhaps the very fact of our going away intensifies last impressions There is a street corner I passed often last year; two girls are gazing up at the glory of colour of dresses and ribbons and laces in electric light. And a work man reads his evening paper beside the window - it is a subject for a Velasquez - all the same I will have a shot at it, and work it up on board ship; it will make an initial letter for this first page of my journal.
