It fell to F.B Evans to edit and publish the whole work in 1908. This gazetteer gives a comprehensive overview of Malabar, delving into its Physical description, political history, people, means of communication, education, public health, justice, revenues and so on. Importantly this work represents a shift in the historical writings of Malabar from manuals and legendary historical accounts to source-oriented study of the people.
