Gold, Sport, and Coffee Planting in Mysore / With chapters on coffee planting in Coorg, the Mysore representative assembly, the Indian congress, caste and the Indian silver question, being the 38 years' experiences of a Mysore planter

The author recounts decades of experience as a planter in Mysore, combining practical guidance on coffee cultivation, manures, irrigation, and land management with descriptions of gold mining, local wildlife, and scenic waterfalls. Chapters discuss administrative and political institutions including a representative assembly, issues of caste and currency, and the effects of land tenure and public works on agriculture and famine relief. Observations range from technical advice for tropical agriculturists to travelogue-like accounts of landscape and sport, while calling attention to economic and social factors that shape plantation life and regional development.
