The Gazetteers of British India
District Series
From 1894 to 1919 Madras published district gazetteers, followed in the 1900s by a series of four "Statistical Appendices," each a decade apart making use of the decennial census. The Buchanan-Hamilton Series of Bengal, which begun in 1833 were not called district gazetteers but Accounts of the District. Between 1822 and 1904 there were the Bengal Statistical & Geographical Reports. Hunter edited a twenty-volume set of Statistical Accounts in 1875-77. Then in 1906-23 there is the O’Malley Series, authored mostly by L.S.S. O’Malley. Whatever titles they went by, they qualified as district gazetteers of the highest order.
The United Provinces provided the best-organized series in India. There were forty-eight districts in the province. Forty-eight district gazetteers were brought out between 1905 and 1911. Then, ten years after the district gazetteers, came four sets of B series, each a decade apart. Like those of Madras, they are supplements bringing statistics up to date.
This collection includes the sections:
• 1: Twenty District Gazetteers, Known as “Madras Manuals”, 1853-1898
