Provenance

Where it came from

Commissioned by the Survey of India and published in 1907, this foundational work was authored by Sir Sidney Gerald Burrard, an esteemed British surveyor and later Surveyor General of India, in collaboration with Henry Hubert Hayden. It emerged from the urgent necessity to synthesize the growing body of topographical and geological intelligence gathered during the late 19th-century explorations of the high-altitude regions of the Himalayas and Tibet, providing a cohesive scientific framework for understanding the structural evolution of the world's highest mountain ranges.

The volume was designed as a comprehensive technical reference for geologists and cartographers, heavily relying on advanced triangulation and gravimetric studies conducted by the Survey of India. Burrard’s work is noted for its meticulous categorization of mountain systems and its early analysis of the earth's crustal movements. Upon its release, it was received as a landmark achievement in Himalayan studies, praised for bridging the gap between descriptive travelogue and rigorous geophysics, and it remains a standard reference for those studying the structural geology of the Tibetan Plateau.
