Description
Madras in the Olden Time is a definitive historical work examining the formative years of the Madras Presidency from its foundation in 1702 through 1727. Volume II continues J. Talboys Wheeler’s detailed chronicle of Fort St. George’s development and the British East India Company’s establishment in South India.
This scholarly text provides extensive documentation of early colonial administration, trade relations, military campaigns, and the complex interactions between European powers and indigenous Indian kingdoms during this pivotal period. Wheeler’s meticulous research captures the political, economic, and social dynamics that shaped the region during the opening decades of British colonial presence in India.
An essential resource for historians, researchers, and those interested in Indian colonial history, this volume offers primary historical insights into how a small fortified trading post evolved into a major colonial center, fundamentally altering the political landscape of the Madras region and beyond.
