* Atkinson, George Francklin
'''Curry & rice' on forty plates : or, The ingredients of social life at 'our station' in India''.
Captain Atkinson of the HEIC Bengal Engineers was one of the most popular authors of his time in British India. His writing reflects the common attitudes and prejudices of British society of the period and may offend some modern readers. This illustrated collection of 40 humorous anecdotes featuring various stereotypes such as 'our colonel' and 'our doctor's wife', 'our cook room', and 'our pig-sticking' can be accessed at [http://www.archive.org/details/curryriceonforty00atkiuoft Archive.org].
