Description
This is the second volume of Francis Buchanan’s seminal work documenting the Bihar and Patna district during 1811-12. Buchanan, a meticulous observer and geographer, provides an exhaustive account of the region’s physical geography, administrative divisions, and social structure during the early years of British rule in India.
The work encompasses detailed descriptions of towns, villages, agricultural practices, trade systems, and the local population’s customs and traditions. Buchanan’s observations offer invaluable historical insights into 19th-century Bihar, including information about revenue collection, infrastructure, religious sites, and economic conditions of the period.
This scholarly volume serves as an important primary source for historians, researchers, and students of Indian history, British colonial administration, and regional studies. Gyan Publishing House’s edition makes this significant historical document accessible to contemporary readers interested in understanding Bihar’s colonial-era history and transformation.
