Letters From Malabar And On The Way (1909) is a collection of letters written by Henry Bruce, a British colonial administrator, during his travels in the Malabar region of southern India in the early 20th century. The book is divided into two parts: the first part contains letters written during Bruce's stay in Malabar, while the second part contains letters written on his way back to England.In his letters, Bruce provides a detailed account of his experiences in Malabar, including his interactions with the local people, his observations of their customs and traditions, and his impressions of the landscape and natural environment. He also discusses the political and economic situation in the region, as well as the challenges faced by the British colonial administration in maintaining order and stability.Throughout the book, Bruce's writing is characterized by a keen eye for detail, a deep curiosity about the world around him, and a genuine empathy for the people he encounters. His letters offer a fascinating glimpse into the complex and often fraught relationship between British colonial officials and the people they governed, as well as a vivid portrait of life in southern India at the turn of the century.Overall, Letters From Malabar And On The Way is a valuable historical document that sheds light on the history of British colonialism in India, as well as the broader cultural and social dynamics of the region during this period.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Traveler and writer Henry Bruce details the culture and qualities of the Malabar coast of India, as it was during the rule of the British Raj.Bruce begins by reflecting upon the beauty of Malabar?s land, the serenity and unspoiled nature of the countryside, which is scarcely mentioned in the travel guidebooks of his era. Having spent a time touring and appreciating the region, he expresses his wish to bring its charms to a greater audience. Throughout the text, the author praises the hospitality rendered him: though old-fashioned, he finds the manner and customs of the locals charming.Describing the various locales, the reader discovers how Thrissur (rendered by Bruce in its Anglicized form as ?Trichur?) appeared at the start of the 20th century. Though prosperous, the region was not ostentatious, with Bruce reporting a conviviality between the classes. The efficiency of the local administration, and the beauty of its temples and architecture, are amply noted.
