The Land Revenue of Bombay - A History of its Administration, Rise, and Progress (Paperback)

This two-volume work by Alexander Rogers (1825-1911), a retired officer of the Bombay Civil Service, first published in 1892, describes the land revenues of the Bombay Presidency (the province which at its greatest extent encompassed much of West and Central India) and also gives a history of the rise and progress of the British administration in the region. The work is organised into eighteen sections, each bearing the name of the Collectorate described therein. It provides an overview of the changes in land revenue administration which culminated in the Bombay Revenue Survey Settlements. Using government records as its sources, the book is meticulously researched and is illustrated with tables, charts and maps. Volume 2 provides descriptions of the land revenue system of a further ten Collectorates (Ratnagiri, Nasik, Sholapur, Puna, Ahmadnagar, Bijapur, Sattara, Belgam, Dharvar, Kanara), and achieves the author's aim of providing an up-to-date survey of the province.
