Description The preparation of tho Chamba Gazetteer was commenced in 1903 by Mr. H. A. Rose, C. S., when that officer was entrusted with the suprintendence of Gazetteer work in the Province generally. Largely aided by Dr. J. Hutchison, of the Church of Scotland Mission, Chambn, that officer bad collected a mass of material and of text which was thought sufficient to go to press with. Printing was commenced, and Mossra. Hancock Prenter, C.S., and A. Campbell, C.S., were in turn entrusted with the task of editing. In 1906, however, Dr. Hutchison represented that, as the result of recent research, much of the text he had furnished was found to be incomplete, and he would prefer an opportunity to put it into better form and also to rearrange the materials. It was, therefore, considered that the best course would be to reprint de novo, and to ask Dr. Hutchison if he would undertake to pass the whole work through the press. This Dr Hutchison very kindly consented to do, and the present work is the result of his labours, rendered gratuitously since 1906. In addition to re-writing the text which was to hand in 1906, Dr. Hutchison has added a large amount of fresh and interesting matter, which has entailed much care and research.
