The history of a history: Reflections on the ending of a pacific voyage ∗
man's wordprocessor, but the rest is dead right, especially the bending author, spot on. But it's been fun as well as drudgery. I must as usual begin with disclaimers. Over-enthusiastic reviewers have brack eted me, not ironically as far as I can see, with Fernand Braudel. This is cer tainly very flattering to the ego, and I can't pretend I don't like it, though I am very far from claiming anything like Braudel's depth of analysis or width of ran…

It is an exciting first hand account of a trade never free from violence and controversy and at the same time a valuable document on inter-racial contact and race relations.

The Partition of the Punjab and of Bengal
Before 1 embark on the subject of this paper, I have some disclaimers to make. Much of the paper will be in the strict sense. The term political geography, which we all allow, must include the influence of politics on geography as well as the converse; and in this case, indeed, considerations largely conditioned new geographical arrangements. What is a mere exercise in applied geography to us sitting in this hali was not only a matter of life and…

FORTY-TWO years after the battle of Plassey, British dominion in India, although not yet unchallenged, was virtually secured by the overthrow of Tipu Sultan of Mysore (I799); only one hard fight remained, that with the Sikhs of the northwest. The decline of British power also covers forty-two years, from the Japanese victory of 1905, which stimulated a general stirring of Asiatic nationalism, to August 15, 1947, when one of history's greatest exp…

Geographical Aspects of the Industrial Evolution of London Till 1850
THE industrial development of a metropolis is little susceptible of geo? graphical interpretation. In the past, geographers have been much prone to ignore the history of industrial development, and the purely economic factors which are involved in the siting of an industry, and have tended to place too much faith in rather lame 'explanations' based entirely on physical circumstances.1 If this be true in the industrial North of England, where geog…

THE United Provinces of Agra and Oudh, although not the most urbanized of the political units of India, is' perhaps the most interesting to the urban geographer. Only I2.5 per cent of the population were returned as urban in the census of 1941, a little less than the all-India average; but of the 57 towns with Ioo,ooo people or more, 12 were in the United Provinces, and of the I7 with more than 250,000 the United Provinces had five, in both cases…
