This Gazetteer, which has remained out of print for a long time, remains the most authentic and compact record of Madras. The comprehensiveness of the Gazetteer lies in the fact that it succeeds in dealing with all possible aspects of the city and the district including physical description, political history, the people and the races, agriculture and irrigation, forest, occupation and trade, means of communication, public health and education, land administration and the administration of justice.
The Gazetteer is now made available in its original format once again on popular demand from the readers and libraries alike. |
