Excerpt from Paris Universal Exhibition of 1878: Handbook to the British Indian Section It is a remarkable coincidence that Europe should repeat on a smaller scale the main features of the coast line of Asia. The peninsula of Arabia is repeated in the Iberian peninsula; Asia Minor and Persia in France; India in Italy; Burma, Siam, Anam, and the Eastern Archipelago in Turkey, Greece, and the Grecian Archipelago; and the Chinese Empire in Russia; while Japan is placed on the east of the euro-asian continent sym metrically with the British Isles on the west. The parallelism between India and Italy is very striking; the Himalayas are repeated in the Alps; the Indus and Ganges in the Rhone and the Po; Karachi is Genoa or Marseilles; Calcutta, Venice; Delhi, Milan; Bombay, Naples; Ceylon, Sicily; and the Laccadive and Maldive Islands are the mountain peaks of a submerged Corsica and Sardinia.
