Qui Hi's Last March to Padree Burrows's Go Down. An illustration to The Grand Master or Adventures of Qui Hi? in Hindostan. A Hudibrastic Poem in eight cantos by Quiz. The book criticises the often pompous attitude of the British towards the Indian population and the inefficiency and corruption of the East India Company. Showing a grand but rather comic English-style funeral procession making its way along the sea shore, with a contrasting Indian funeral pyre and mourners on the right.
