A Collection Of Treaties, Engagements And Other Papers Of Importance

About the Book: - The author when in search of materials for an historical and descriptive account of Malabar, he found the records and the country powers with whom they came into contact. It occurred to him to supplement this collection from the records, and to print the whole so as to bring together, within convenient compass for district administration purposes, a series of papers, as complete as possible, exhibiting the relations, past and present, between the British Government and the ancient chieftains of the district, to whom a portion of the revenues of the district for the year is paid as Malikhana. This collection has, accordingly, been divided into two parts. Part I, treating of the period prior to the treaty of Seringapatam, contracted with Tippu Sultan in 1792, under which Malabar fell to the company’s share as a portion of the cessions made by Tippu to the Allies; and Part II, treating of the period subsequent to 1792 down to the present day. The book is the product of extensive study of these historic facts. Though the book is rare one, yet the subject is good for the students of history.
