About the Book : -The author has drawn a beautiful sketch on Goa and its suburbs as it stood in the year 1827. He spent a long time in Goa studying the history of the old city and then wrote this book. The work contains descriptions of the buildings and history of Goa, written just a few years before the expulsion of the religious orders (1835), and is a primary source for Fonseca’s Historical and Archaeological Sketch of the City of Goa. The book also contains a valuable chronology of the Viceroys and Governors of Portuguese India; notices the chapters of Goa and its suburbs along with notes on the various Catholic orders functioning at that time. A map showing the actual state of the city at the very time he wrote –a state far different from now. That is why the book deserves to be called a classic.
