32 페이지 - the natives, especially in the morning and evening, when the air was still, carry on conversation from one hill to another, and that apparently without any extraordinary effort. They do not shout in the manner that strangers think necessary in order to be heard at so great a distance, but utter every syllable as distinctly as if they were conversing face to face. When listening to them, I have often been reminded of those passages in Holy Writ where it is recorded that Jotham addressed the ungrateful...
32 페이지 - The great extent to which the sound of the voice is conveyed, may be mentioned. Some persons have thought this a proof of the extreme rarity of the atmosphere. A similar observation is made by Captain Parry, in his voyage of discovery to the polar regions in 1819-20, (p.

Les flancs des montagnes présentent tantôt des champs cultivés, tantôt des bouquets de bois presque impénétrables, à cause des lianes et des arbustes épineux que fait naître abondamment une vigoureuse végétation, et qui enlacent des arbres quelquefois énormes. C'est à regret que je suis obligé de dire que ces bosquets sont dangereux, car ils servent souvent de retraite aux tigres, aux ours et aux...
146 페이지 - La botanique offre le plus grand intérêt sur les montagnes de Nellygerry par la différence qui existe entre les plantes de cette contrée et celles de la plaine ; on y trouve un...
144 페이지 - Nellygerry offre un aspect varié et très pittoresque. La surface est composée de plusieurs monticules plus ou moins arrondis ou escarpés ; ils sont séparés par des vallons, au fond desquels coulent presque toujours des ruisseaux d'une eau limpide et murmurante : avec un peu d'industrie on pourrait établir de fort bonnes prairies dans plusieurs endroits de ces fraîches vallées.
10 페이지 - The number of these became, however, at length so great as to overpower incredulity, and after seven years of quarantine, the Indian community are beginning to reap the advantages of this interesting and valuable discovery. The positive benefit derived by invalids who have visited the hills, from the three presidencies of India, and the uniform testimony in their favour, borne by all the medical gentlemen who have resided any time upon them, have established their reputation, and they are now visited...
4 페이지 - ... the month of May, of the same year, several of our tourists, accompanied by the late Monsieur Leschnault de la Tour, (Indian naturalist to the King of France, and eminent for his researches in natural history,) repeated their excursion up the Nielgherries, and again published an account of their tour in a newspaper of Madras. This second experiment fully confirmed their former impressions. It was made at a season when the temperature of the plains was from 90 to 100, but on the hills the maximum...

In 1821, the pass was opened, and some families took up their temporary abode on the hills. But notwithstanding the uniformity of the favourable accounts given by all parties who ascended these mountains, so notorious is the insalubrity of hilly countries in India, that it was, for some time, in vain to plead the superior elevation of the Nielgherries, their freedom from the jungle, or the healthy...
145 페이지 - Outre ses maris une femme peut avoir encore un amanwiont les droits sont incontestés par les bénévoles époux ; cette race est généralement fort belle pour les formes et pour les traits. Les villages placés sur le sommet des monticules , sont composés d'une petite quantité de cabanes peu élevées et d'une apparence misérable, mais elles sont solidement construites en bois, en terre glaise, et couvertes de chaume. Celles des...
