The Origins of Himalayan Studies by David Waterhouse
Brian Hodgson lived in Nepal from 1820 to 1843 during which time he wrote and published extensively on Nepalese culture, religion, natural history, architecture, ethnography and linguistics. Specialist contributors critically examine Hodgson's life and his achievements.'This book has been very well produced and is a serious academic work from which much further research is possible' - Nepal Society
'The whole work is a wonderful celebration of an extraordinary man, whose reputation was eclipsed in a twentieth century that cherished the specialist and suspected the amateur.' - Asian Affairs
'This is a well-produced book, with some wonderful illustrations, many of them not previously available.' - Chowkidar
David M. Waterhouse is Vice-President of the Royal Asiatic Society. He was British Council Director in Nepal from 1972 to 1977.
