Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Travancore State Manual is a huge book, not only on the antiquity of Travancore, but also on the various other features of the place. It is not just a book on the history of the place. This book is Part 1 of Volume One. This edition has two parts for Volume One. To get to know something about the antiquity of Travancore, this book might be quite useful. There are locations where everything looks quite honest. There are also locations where one would have to be a bit wary in imbibing the contentions and arguments. However on the whole, this is a good book. The next item of jingoistic reproach would be the very obvious support to the English colonial rule. This feature can be felt in many pages dealing with the English colonial times in the subcontinent. Please note that the text and images used in this book are from various scanned versions of the original book. So there can be various kinds of deficiencies including text errors, and low quality images. These errors are expected to be very minimal. This edition is an improvement on the earlier editions brought out by VICTORIA INSTITUTIONS. In that, a lot of typos have been removed. However, no guarantee with regard to absolute accuracy can be assured.
