Abstract
AT a time when Britain is trying to terminate her responsibility for the government of India, it is well that her services to that country should be placed on record. And there is no field of activity in which the British are better entitled to take pride in what they have done for India than that of surveying ; for the Survey of India has built up a reputation for enterprise and efficiency which is unsurpassed. The achievements of the Survey of India are for the most part well known, but not all of them have been placed on record. Regular publication of reports of its work only began some years after the Sepoy mutiny of 1857, and little information is available of the survey work done before that time. The Survey is now planning to fill in this blank. Historical Records of the Survey of India Vol. 1 : 18th Century. Collected and compiled by Colonel R. H. Phillimore. (Published by order of the Surveyor General of India.) Pp. xx + 416 + 21 plates. (Dehra Dun : Survey of India, 1945.) 30 rupees ; 47s. 3d.
