The last eight years were mostly spent in the provinces of Malabar and Wynaud; where I had constant opportunities to learn from personal inquiry what state of vassalage or slavery the poorer classes of the inhabitants of these two provinces were held by the landed proprietors, and people of substance, trades, and shopkeepers."
