About the Book

: In the book "Historical Sketches of the South of India," the author endeavors to trace the history of Mysoor (Mysore) from its establishment under Hindoo governance to the end of the Mohammedan dynasty in 1799. Guided by the Minister of Mysoor and his assistant, the author compiles information from knowledgeable locals who possess family manuscripts and historical artifacts. Two significant sources include a Persian manuscript titled "An Historical Account of the ancient Rajas of Mysoor," discovered in 1799, and a Canara manuscript known as "The Succession of the Kings of Mysoor." These manuscripts offer valuable insights into the region's history. By carefully analyzing these events, the author establishes a chronology and confirms the manuscripts' composition in the early 18th century. The capture of Seringapatam in 1799 leads to the unearthing of additional historical materials, including palm leaf manuscripts and Cudduttums. However, the author's account predominantly focuses on events up to approximately 1712, with limited information available after the occupation of Seringapatam. Initially marked for destruction, the palace and its books are spared through the intervention of a devout brahmin who safeguards a small collection.
