Before Chennai was Chennai, Madras was a company town built in ink. Names, dates, places: all here. Vestiges of Old Madras (1640-1800) is famed for the depth of its documentation; this historical index volume is the key that lets you move through that world with speed and confidence, whether you are chasing a single reference or browsing for the shape of a city. Henry Davison Love drew on East India Company records preserved at Fort St George and the India Office, alongside other sources, to assemble an archival history reference rooted in evidence rather than anecdote. The result is an indispensable guide to a primary source collection that illuminates colonial Madras administration and the lived mechanics of the British Empire in India. Entries lead you across Madras 1640 1800, helping you connect people, offices, ships, streets, councils and disputes, and to follow the development of 18th century Chennai as it appears in the record. For India genealogy research, this index supports careful name-tracking and contextual clues; for South Asia historians and readers of early modern Indian history, it offers a disciplined pathway into the documents that shaped policy, commerce and daily life. Republished by Alpha Editions in a careful modern edition, this volume preserves the spirit of the original while making it effortless to enjoy today - a heritage title prepared for readers and collectors alike.
