“This Gazetteer, which has remained out of print for a long time, remains one of the most authentic and compact records of Trichinopoly. The comprehensiveness of the Gazetteer lies in the fact that it succeeds in dealing with all possible aspects of the district including the physical description, political history, the people and the races, agriculture and irrigation, forest, occupation and trade, means of communications, public health and education, land administration and the administration of justice.

The Gazetteer is now made available in its original format once again on populr demand from the readers and the libraries alike.” (jacket)
