N2  - The book serves as an exhaustive reference work on the Tinnevelly District (modern-day Tirunelveli district in Tamil Nadu, India) as it existed in the late 19th century under British rule. It provides a detailed snapshot of the district's natural features, resources, population, economy, administration, and social conditions. The primary aim was to equip British officials with a thorough understanding of the area they were governing, including its history, customs, agricultural practices, revenue systems, and demographic details. It is a work of detailed empirical observation and data collection, reflecting the colonial administration's need for comprehensive information to facilitate governance and resource management
