The Land-Systems Systems of British Being a Manual of the Land-Tenures and of the Systems of Land-Revenue Administration, Prevalent in the Several Provinces, Vol. 1 (Classic Reprint)

Government of India printed at Calcutta a Manual of the Land-T enures and Land-R evenue Systems of British I ndia, which was written by me under the orders of Government. The edition was exhausted in two or three years ;but as about that time great changes in the law were under consideration, it was thought desirable to await the passing of the Bengal Tenancy A ct (1885), the Oudh Rent A ct (1886), and the Panjab Land Revenue and Tenancy A cts (1887) to say nothing of minor enactments before preparing a new edition. When (in 1888-9) things seemed ripe for a new issue corrected and brought up to date, I found that so much had to be altered and added, and that such improvements might be made, especially in the chapters on Land Tenures, that it would be better to write a new book. The present work is therefore independent of the original volume, except as regards a very few pages. It has also been illustrated by maps.
