The Land of the Permauls

During a residence of a few years in Cochin by the author the facts were collected from which the following pages have been compiled.H. H. the Rajah of Cochin and S. Menone Esq. the Dewan most obligingly afforded information upon many subjects connected with the Native State.C. D’Albedyhll Esq. Judge of the Appeal Court of Ernacollum was good enough to translate the Memorials of the Dutch Governors of Cochin and some of their Secret Records which give an insight into the policy of that nation and their relationship with the neighbouring native States. Thanks are due to Conrad Vernede Esq. for his assistance in obtaining personal intercourse with Namboorie Brahmans and other Hindus with the view of facilitating enquiries into Hinduism as it now exists in the Cochin State.
