A comprehensive collection of correspondence between the Secretary of State for India and the Governor General, as well as the Governors of Madras and Bombay, this volume, titled 'East India, Chinchona Cultivation,' meticulously documents the cultivation of Chinchona plants from April 1866 to April 1870. Chinchona, the source of quinine, was of vital importance for treating malaria, making its cultivation a strategic imperative for the British Empire in India. This historical record provides invaluable insights into the policies, challenges, and achievements of cultivating this crucial medicinal plant. Researchers and historians interested in the history of medicine, botany, colonial administration, and the economic development of India will find this collection a rich resource. The detailed exchanges reveal the complex interplay between scientific endeavors, colonial governance, and the health of the population in British India.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
