Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A History of Our Relations With the Andamanese, Vol. 1 This book has been written at the request of Lieutenant-Colonel R. C. Temple, C.I.E., Chief Commissioner of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, who, on assuming that office in August 1894, was anxious that the records of the Government relations with the Andamanese, which were perishing, with all that had been written about this interesting race before our occupation of their islands, should be condensed into one work before it was too late. After giving a description of the Andaman Islands, and of the appearance and customs of the Andamanese, I quote all that has been written about those islands from the earliest times up to the date of our first Settlement on them in the last century; and the present work, if not containing all that is known, at least has, between two covers, a larger number of the earlier records than any other; for in addition to the assistance afforded me in this direction by Colonel Yule´s article on the Andaman Islands in the ninth edition of the Encyclopedia Britannica, and by Mr. Man´s book, "The Andaman Islanders"; copies have been made for me of documents in the libraries of the India Office, of the British Museum, and of the Home Department of the Government of India, in Calcutta.
