Sleepy Sketches: Or How We Live, And How We Do Not Live, From Bombay (1877) is a book written by Sampson Low Marston Searle And Rivington. The book provides a detailed and fascinating glimpse into life in Bombay during the late 19th century. Through a series of sketches, the authors explore various aspects of daily life, including the bustling markets, the opulent homes of the wealthy, the poverty-stricken slums, and the vibrant social scene.Throughout the book, the authors offer their observations and insights into the customs, traditions, and beliefs of the people of Bombay. They also explore the impact of British colonialism on the city and its inhabitants, providing a nuanced and thought-provoking analysis of the complex relationship between the colonizers and the colonized.Sleepy Sketches is a vivid and engaging portrait of a city and a people in a time of great change. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history and culture of India, as well as those interested in the complexities of colonialism and its impact on society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
