PREFACE TO VOLUME I.

THE greater part of this volume was written in 1884-87,


but fot: want of books of reference in South Canara, 1 was
unable to take up the llistory chapter until I went m:i. fur-
lough to England in 1889-90. After my return to India, I
found no time, amidst the pressure of othe~ duties, tp com-
: pile the statistical chapters, .which had necessarily been left
to phe last, and in 1892 .it was de_cided that Volume II, which
is to be devoted to. statistics, should be undertaken in con-
nection with the revision of the other District Manuals, which
is now in progress.
In the compilation of this portion of the Manual, I have
had the advantage of the use of ii.ote. books left "by the late
Messrs. Hebbert and Spe~cer of t~e Madras Civil Service~
who had successively been entrusted with the work, bu~
neither. of. whom had been ablt~ to carry it through, and I take
this opportunity of thanking the. :rp.any officials and residents
. of South Canara who so willingly gave me any information
I asked'"' for, :q"otably in connection with the chapter on The
People.. My special acknowledgments are due. to M~. J. C.
. FernandeZ) Jl,A;, !r.L., ~ow District Munsiff of Shiyali, who
. afforded me much assistance .in the conipilatio!l and arrange-
ment of materials for chapters l, .IV and V. I have !J Ir
freely ayailed myself of extracts from an article on Can(
contributed to F1wier's Magazine by Mr. M. J. Walhl
who was for many years District and Sessiops JJ./ .

has been largely added to. by ~r. ~- A. Stuart/
'taken for the Census of 1891. .,
-PREFACE.

Surgeon-Major W . .A. Lee was kind enough to write for


.~ a Medico-topographical and Statistical chapter, but
under the ~cheme for the revised edition of the District .
Manllals this subject is to be dealt with in the second or
statistical volume. I have consequently been unable: to.
secure its appearance in this volume.
