Hand Book of the Madras Presidency is an authoritative and richly detailed guide to one of the most important administrative divisions of British India. Originally published in the 19th century, this work provides a comprehensive overview of the Madras Presidency, covering its history, geography, topography, agriculture, trade, people, languages, religion, government, and infrastructure. Edward B. Eastwick offers not just statistical data but also vivid cultural observations, making the book an invaluable reference for both colonial administrators and modern historians. The volume explores the diversity and complexity of South India under British rule, providing readers with insights into the physical landscape, natural resources, social customs, and political organization of the region.

This handbook served as both a travel companion and an administrative manual during the colonial period and is today considered a historical treasure for those studying South Indian heritage, colonial policy, and British administrative systems.
