[ A RARE BOOK : NOT IN GOOD CONDITION] The present study is concerned with the administration of Avadh from 1858 to 1877. Although some administrative measures were introduced immediately after its annexation (February 1856), but for all practical purposes there was hardly any administration in the first two years. The revolt in Avadh, following in the wake of its annexation, raged furiously throughout the province, and for a time destroyed every vestige of administration. It was in 1858, when the hostilities ended in the central part of Avadh, that regular measures of administration were vigorously introduced . With 1858 as the starting point, the present study is carried down to 1877-the year when Avadh was amalgamated with the North-Western Provinces and ceased to exist as a separate province.<br /><br />
