In compiling this Hand-book the following authorities have been consulted: "The Imperial Gazetteer of India;" "Report on the Chittagong Hill Tracts, by Lieutenant F. Mc. D Baird, Ist Battalion, Leinster Regiment;" "The Hill Tracts of Chittagong, by Cap-tain T.H.Lewin," "An account of the proceedings, of the Chittagong column of the Lushai Expeditory Force, 1871-72, by Brevel-Ma-jor C.J. East., Assitant Quarter Master General, Bengal;" in addition information has also been obtained from the reports of the Commissioner of Chittagong and various other official sources.
As this Handbook, though professing to be only "A handbook of the Lushai Country", also contains information on the Chittagong District and the Hill Tracts, it has been found convenient to divide it into four parts, viz:-
PART 1- The Chittagong District.
Part III-The Chittagong Hill Tracts.
Part III The Lushai Country.
Part IV-Appendices - consisting of accounts of former expeditions and report on the military road Lungleh, & c., & c.
A vocabulary of the Lushai and Shendu languanges has also been placed among the appendices. Though, owing to dearth materials, this vocabulary is necessarily very incomplete, it is hoped that it may be of some assistance to the officers and men serving in the Lushai Expedition of 1889-90.
