N. Smith, from W. H. Smoult, Earl of Hardwicke, September . 1838" on the front free fly-leaf. Robert Baikie was a doctor who spent over seventeen years practising in India for the East India Company's Madras Army. He wrote this all-encompassing monograph of the region while Senior Medical Officer of the Nilgiris, which had been tribal land. The hill region became much appreciated by Europeans, and from the 1820s the region was rapidly developed by the British Raj. Tea and coffee plantations were established and it became a popular summer and weekend destination; the summer house of the Madras Presidency was established at Ooty in 1827.The fine maps and botanical illustrations are signed by Jean-Baptiste Tassin, who started one of Calcutta's earliest lithographic presses in 1830 and later moved to San Francisco. He had arrived destitute in Bengal from Singapore, having been shipwrecked off the Malayan archipelago. His skill in lithographing maps derived from his previous employment as naturalist, and as such a skilled draughtsman, on board a French Government ship. In the preface the editor gives full costings from the production of the book and states that 500 copies were printed.
