* # * The chief objects in view in compiling this Gazetteer are : — ■ 



1st. To fix the relative position of the various cities, towns, and villages, 

 with as much precision as possible, and to exhibit with the greatest prac- 

 ticable brevity all that is known respecting them ; and, 

 2ndly. To note the various countries, provinces, or territorial divisions, and to 

 describe the physical characteristics of each, together with their statisti- 

 cal, social, and political circumstances. 

 To these are added minute descriptions of the principal rivers and chains 

 of mountains ; thus presenting to the reader, within a brief compass, a mass 

 of information which cannot otherwise be obtained, except from a multipli- 

 city of volumes and manuscript records. The work, in short, may be re- 

 garded as an epitome of all that has been written and published respecting 

 the territories under the government or political superintendence of the British 

 power in India.
