Like many British authors of books about India before independence,
William Harrison Moreland (1868 1938) had worked as a civil servant
in the subcontinent. He spent twenty-five years in the North-West
Provinces, and for twelve years he was Director of Land Records and
Agriculture. He was committed to improving the agricultural system
of the region, and even established an agricultural college in
Kanpur. After he retired, he decided to examine old land and
revenue records, resulting in this work, which was published in
1929. Starting in the thirteenth century, the book gives a
historical context to the changing land use and revenue practices
in India. Moreland also examines the role of religious law and the
influence of successive regimes and rulers on the development of
agrarian practices as well as on the lives and work of India's
peasantry.
