Penang the Fourth Presidency of India Vol 2

MYR 150.00

Drawing on unrivalled access to original correspondence, reports, newspapers and contemporary accounts, Penang: The Fourth Presidency of India: Fire, Spice & Edifice continues the in-depth and compelling narrative of a fascinating story. The second of a four-volume series, the focus of Fire, Spice & Edifice is the development of major structures and institutions: Fort Cornwallis, St George’s Church, the Penang Free School, the Public Library and the Spice and Botanic Gardens, and the forces of nature which conspired to thwart the settlement: fire and erosion of the seafront. These intermeshed stories continue the groundwork established in Volume One, highlighting the struggles, successes and failures of the early settlement. Beautifully illustrated with paintings, sketches, engravings and maps – many previously unpublished—Fire, Spice & Edifice and the accompanying volumes will be the authoritative reference for historians and general readers for generations to come.
