    HARYANA DISTRICT GAZETTEERS ------------------- REPRINT OF HISAR DISTRICT GAZETTEER, 1883-84 GAZETTEERS ORGANISATION REVENUE DEPARTMENT HARYANA CHANDIGARH (INDIA) The Gazetteer was published in 1884 during British regime. 1st Reprint : January, 1999 © GOVERNMENT OF HARYANA Price Rs. Available from : The Controller, Printing and Stationery, Haryana, Chandigarh (India). Printed By : Controller of Printing and Stationery, Government of Haryana, Chandigarh. PREFACE TO REPRINTED EDITION The District Gazetteer is a miniature encyclopaedia and a good guide. It describes all important aspects and features of the district; historical, physical, social, economic and cultural. Officials and other persons desirous of acquainting themselves with the salient features of the district would find a study of the Gazetteer rewarding. It is of immense use for research scholars. The old gazetteers of the State published in the British regime contained very valuable information, which was not wholly re-produced in the revised volume. These gazetteers have gone out of stock and are not easily available. There is a demand for these volumes by research scholars and educationists. As such, the scheme of reprinting of old gazetteers was taken on the initiative of the Hon’ble Chief Minister of Haryana. The material available in print for the Gazetteer of this district consisted of the Settlement Reports, notes on certain points supplied by district officers and a draft Gazetteer compiled between 1870 and 1874 by Mr. F. Cunningham, Barrister-at-Law. The draft edition of this Gazetteer was revised by colonels Minchin and Mac-Mohan and Mr. Ogilvie. The gazetteer was compiled under the authority of Punjab Government. It was printed by Shri Ram Das at the Arya Press at Lahore.
