L’ouvrage décrit ses itinéraires, ses observations architecturales et géographiques ainsi que ses vues prises sur le vif entre le Bengale, le Bihar et les régions du Gange. Hodges est l’un des premiers paysagistes britanniques à avoir visité l’Inde, et son récit contribue à la visualisation européenne de l’ancien « Orient » à la fin du XVIII siècle. 14 engraved plates and one folding map.
