The Land of the Permauls: Or Cochin, Its Past and Its Present is a historical account of the Indian city of Cochin, written by Francis Day and published in 1863. The book covers the city's past and present, including its geography, climate, economy, and political history. Day provides detailed descriptions of Cochin's various communities, including the Permauls, a group of wealthy merchants who played a significant role in the city's development. He also discusses the city's architecture, customs, and religious practices, as well as its relations with neighboring states and European powers. The book is a valuable resource for those interested in the history of Cochin and the wider region of Kerala, as well as for scholars of colonialism and globalization.
