It was prepared by M.V. Portman at the behest of Lt Colonel R.C. Temple, who was the Chief Commissioner of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt encompasses the physical geography of the Andaman Islands and the appearance and customs of the Andamanese tribes from the earliest times up to the date of the first settlement on them. It has interesting accounts of the wrecks of the British ships, Briton and Runnymede, in the Archipelago Islands and the murder of the seamen of the Fyze Buksh by the Andamanese. Alongside, there are papers relating to the British occupation; the opening of the Settlement by Dr Walker; the trouble given by the fugitive convicts; accounts of the hostile Jarawa tribes; and the original writings on the Andamanese.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThere is an account of the efforts made to improve the Andamanese, and reasons for the near extinction of the race. The author, as far as possible, has let each officer tell his own story in his own words.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter XIV –\u003cbr\u003e 513-556\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter XV –\u003cbr\u003e 557-596\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter XVI –\u003cbr\u003e 597-616\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter XVII –\u003cbr\u003e 617-700\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter XVIII –\u003cbr\u003e 701-767\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter XIX –\u003cbr\u003e 768-808\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter XX –\u003cbr\u003e 809-815\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter XXI –\u003cbr\u003e 816-875\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Manohar Books","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52656080945432,"sku":"9789391928513","price":52.37,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/a-history-of-our-relations-with-the-andamanese-volume-ii-compiled-from-histories-and-travels-and-from-the-records-of-the-government-of-india-hardback-9789391928513","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
