This historic book may have numerous typos, missing text or index. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. 1840. Not illustrated.

Rampoorisin the Nog of Dussow, and rests upon the left bank of the Sutluj at the distance of a stone-cast. Its latitude is 31 27' and longitude 77 38'; it is elevated above the sea 3300 feet, and contains 110 families permanently resident; nearly half of whom are occupied in trade.
