Uma conferência em que o autor combina memórias de viagens pela Índia com observações etnográficas, religiosas e urbanas, descrição de cidades e paisagens, e um panorama histórico da presença portuguesa na região. Relata visitas a centros comerciais e sagrados, descreve práticas religiosas, castas e textos sagrados, e evoca monumentos e ruínas. Expõe também episódios e figuras das campanhas coloniais, comenta o êxito inicial e a posterior decadência da administração portuguesa, e contrasta práticas administrativas com o domínio britânico, concluindo com reflexões sobre as amplas possibilidades de estudo que a península ainda oferece.
