Other Countries by William Morrison Bell is a travel memoir in which a British Army officer records his 1868–1870 global journey, with a strong focus on India and the Indian Empire, and later extensive excursions to Australia and Ceylon. Bell narrates the voyage of the Serapis, the voyage from Suez to Aden, Bombay, Ahmednugger, and Cashmere, and describes transport routes, colonial life, landscape, and the people encountered along the way, interweaving historical context and personal observation. The book blends vivid travel scenes—pig-sticking, bungalow life, mountain marches, and river journeys—with reflections on religion, governance, and the challenges of empire. It presents portraits of major cities such as Bombay, Calcutta, Delhi, Lucknow, Lahore, Simla, and Colombo, and ranges from the Himalayas to Cashmere’s Dul Lake, then continues to Australia, detailing settlements, social life, and colonial administration. Published in 1872 as Vol. I of a two-volume set, it includes maps and illustrations.
