The East Indians At Selwood: Or The Orphans������� Home is a book written by Joseph Rickerby and first published in 1834. It tells the story of a group of East Indian orphans who are brought to England and placed in a home called Selwood. The book follows their experiences as they adjust to their new surroundings and the challenges they face in a foreign land.The orphans are taken in by a kind-hearted woman named Mrs. Selwood, who runs the home and provides them with a loving and supportive environment. The book explores the themes of family, friendship, and resilience as the orphans navigate their new lives and form bonds with each other and the people around them.Throughout the book, the author provides a detailed and vivid portrayal of life in early 19th century England, including the social customs, cultural norms, and economic realities of the time. The book also touches on issues of race and identity, as the East Indian orphans struggle to find their place in a society that is largely unfamiliar to them.Overall, The East Indians At Selwood: Or The Orphans������� Home is a heartwarming and engaging story that offers a unique perspective on the experiences of immigrants and orphaned children in 19th century England.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
