Britain's overseas history has never been well supplied with comprehensive bibliographical aids, and, despite extensive public interest in the subject, the position has steadily worsened. Following the recent Oxford History of the British Empire, this volume is therefore designed to provide a general source of reference and bibliographical guidance, at once wide-ranging, up-to-date, and accessible.

A study on the palegars, agricultural landowners in South India (Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh) and their resistance to the British policy of land tenure in India.

Provides a valuable insight into the condition of Britain in the early part of the nineteenth century. It includes original documents from a range of disciplines.
