THE LATE COLONEL, COLIN MACKENZIE.
(Con tinurtl from THE Sin( of Saturday last.)

Our readers will rememberthe notice we have taken in former
numbers of the uedul life of the late Colon :A Mackenzie. We
row beg leave to call attention to the literary labours of that la-
mented and distinguished individual, which are thus described
in the Calcutta Governit:mt Gazette:—

The LITERARY LABOURS of the late COLONEL
MACKENZIE. .
In addition to the 7Lerucnt 'wh'ich. we gavg d;..t. papa d t!Nt
17th ult., of such of late Col. Mackenzie's literary labours
as have been laid befor^ the public, and consequently accessible
to all; we have now the satisfaction to publish, on the best au-
thority, a more particular notice of the arduous and enterprizing
investigations which resulted fromlns official duties, and which,
whilst they delineated the then unknown geOgraphy of the Pe-
nh:vie, contribitted to the accumulation of the volumirious
materials which he collected for the elucidation of the past and
present history of
,Hindoostan.
_ _

In the midst of camps and the bustle of war, of travels and
voyages, great accessions have often been made to human. know-
ledge ; and although " all. that a Ccesar wrote or. Camoens
sung," may not be equalled by every military aspirant, it is
nevertheless universally admitted, according to a celebrated
sage of antiquity " that the human I mind can "expand to the
occasion." Colonel Mackenzie has filled up. the vacant moments
of an Indian Campaign, in the most meritorious manner, and
his collections are not. only valuable in themselves, but they
have been found useful in directing the attention of those more
fr• (rifted, to matters of high importance to Philosophy
and Science. ' • '"' •" • • •

I
The first thirieen of .:...el Mackenzie's life in _lndia
may be considered as of little moment, in cO t 5 obser-
vations and notices of II indoo manners, of geography and of his-
tory. With every attachment to this pursuit, to which his at-
tention was •directed before he left England (in 1782-30 and
not devoid of opportunities in India ; still the circumscrib-
ed means of a subaltern Officer, and the necessity of prompt
attention to Military and profCssional duties, could not admit
of that undeiiating attention, which Is so necessary to the full
success of any pursuit at ail times, and much more so to. that
which must be e?ttracwi. 4.44.-ik +3,e various languages, dialects,
and characters, of the Peninsula of India.

A knowledge of the native languages, so essentially requisite,
could not at that period be regularly cultivated, in consequence
of the frequent changes and removils from Province to Pro-
vince ; from garrison to Camp; and from one desultory duty to
imother.,--Thoseencouragernents to study the languages of . the
vast countries that have come under our domination since his
arrival in India, were reserved for more hippy times, and for
those who are more fortunate in having leisure for their cultiva-
tion. From_the evils of famine, penury, and war, the land was
then slowly emerging ; and there was a long struggle under the
miseries of bad management, before the immediate administra-
tion of the. South came under the benign influence of the British
Governroant. - ' •,. ,
•
It was not till after his return from the Expedition to Ceylon
in 1796, that accident threw, in his way those means that he has
since, unceasingly and successfully Pursued, of penetrating be-
yond their confmon surface, the Antiquities, the History, and
the Institutions, of the South of -India.
The connexion he then formed with a lirarnin *, was the
first step towards the acquisition of Indian knowledge. Unac-
quainted with. the languages himself, he owed to the happy
genius of that individual the encouragement and the means of
obtaining what. be so long sought. For this purpose 13 dif-
.ferent Dialects, and 21 characters were necessary. On the.re-
duction of Seringapatam in 1799, not one of the persons then
employed by the British Government could translate from the
Canarese alone,—at present we have translations made not only
from the modern characters ; hut the more obscure and almost
obsolete characters cf the Sassannums- (or Inscriptions) in Ca-
narese and in Tarnul ; besides such as have been done from the
Sanscrit, of which during the Colonel's first years in India he
could scarcely obtain any information. From the Moment the
talents of the lamented Boris were applied, a new avenue to
Hindoo knowledge was opened ; and though Cpl. Mackenzie
was deprived of him at an early age, his example and instruc-
tions were so happily followed up by his brethren and disciples,
that an establishment was gradually formed, by which the whole
of our provinces might be gradually analyzed on the re.ethod
thus fortunately begun and successfully followed.
For thirteen years, therefore, there is little to shew besides
the Journals and Notes of an Officer employed in all the cam-
paigns of the time. First, towards the dose of the war of 1783,
in the province of Coimbatoor of Dindigul, and afterwards in
professional duties in the provinces of Madras, -Nellore, and
Guntoor, throughout the whole of the war from 1790 to 1792,
in Mysore, and in the countries ceded to the Nizem by the
peace of /792 ; and from that period he was engaged in the
first attempt to methodize and embody the geography of the
Deckan.

Some voluntary efforts for these purposes bad at last excited
the notice of a tew friends in the field, partial perhaps to his
talents, and admiring his ardour for the pursuit. And in
1792, after the peece of Seringapatam, he was'sent a subaltern
from the army in Mysore, by the desire of the late revered
Lord Cornwallis, with the small detachment at first employed
in the Nizam's duminons, for the purpose of acquiring some
information of the geography of those countries, and of the re-
lative boundaries of the several States, then assuming a new
form and new limits.
From 1792 to 1799, it would be tedious to relate the impedi-
ma the accidents, and the discouragements that checked the
prtgress of this design.
In the year 1796, a General Map of the Nizam's dominions
was submitted to the Madras Government, for the first time,
compiled and digested from various materials of various autho-
rity, dc'cribed in a memoir that accompanied it: Further in-
quiry improved its supplements in 1798 and 99, and sonic en-
couragement was then held forth, that induced perseverance,
though 'little effectual assistance was given. Col. Mackenzie's
removal from any share in the direction of the Deckan surveys
in 1806, put a stop to the farther improvement of this map;
yet the subject has not been neglected, and it is hoped that it
may be one day resumed on the revisal of the materials since
collected, though on a more circumscribed scale than what was
once intended.
In returning to I-Ivdrabad in 1798, for the third time, to re-
sume the investigations of Deckan Geography, measures were

vantageously followed in arvanging the history, antiquities, and
statistics, of that intzrestimr country.
After the -seduction of Mysorc in 1799, and in the arrange-
ments that followed, Colon.:1 Maeltenzie was emplcyed tb.fur-
nish the Commissioners with ;eoiraphical information, and on
his return to Madras, the Earlat:-. Mornington, then uoi-ci.nor.

sive an undertaking ; but to be 'carried' through a country yet
so little known,. that the position of some of the provinces
c&led by the treaty of partition could not be ascertained
this survey was advanced under peculiar tirettnistanc.ea of em-
barrassment.

.....
. Consonant to his original ideas, he considered this occasion
favourable for arranging a plan of survey, ernbracing the sta-
tistics and history of- the'country, as well as of its geography ;
and submitted a plan for this purpose, which was approved of-
by the-111,14ms Governthent. Three assistants, and a naturalist,
were for the.first time attached to him, yet this moderate esta-
blishment Was immediately after disapproved of in England.
The.effects of this measure contributed to psralize every effort,
but notwithstanding these difficulties, the success attending the
first researches, and a conviction of their utility, induced 7him
to persevere till 1807. The Geography of the Province of Illy-
ere was literally completed in the minutest degree of forty
thousand square miles of territory ; considerable materials
j were acquired of its statistics and of its history ; and the basis
laid for obtaining that of the Peninsula, an a-plan undeviat-
ingly follOWed up ever since.—(See the opinion of the Court of
pirectqrs on the completion of the work.)• •

It is also properito 'notice; that in the course ufrthese investi

• the first lights were thrown on the history of the country belo
the Ghauts, which have been since enlarged by materials co7l-
r ,stantly increasing ; and confirming the information acquired ill
the upper country. Among various interesting subjects nay
be mentioned-

its distinction from that of the Boudah.

on stone and copper; and their utility in throWing light on the
importane sub'ect of II indoo Tenures confirmed by upwards of
three thousand authentic Inscriptions collected since I'doo.
4. The design and nature of the Orrnmental Stones and tro-
phies found in various parts of the countryy, from Cape Comorin
to Delhi, called Venrucal sad lastee Cull; which illustrate the
ancient customs of the early inhabitants., and perhaps of the
early Western Nations.
4. The Sepulchral, Tumuli Mounds and Barrows of the
early Tribes, similar"to those found throughout the continent of
Asia and. of Europe, illustrated by drawings, and various other
notices of Antiquities and Institutions.
. On the conclusion. of the _field duties of the Mysore Survey,
for the compilations resulting from it have, at different time:,
occupied inueit attention ~sits office_was ccmferred on Col.
Mackenzie in Myzore, mitre, was afterwards confirmed by the
favourable opinion of the Court of Directors, for the purpose of
following up the investigations and digesting and improving the
materials at leisure. But on a reform of some branches of the
• military establishments in 1610, that department was entirely
new modelled, and his appointment ceased, without any corn-
-pensation in salary or otherwise for what he had then lost. The
Honourable Court in that order had signified their approbation
of-What had been done, and even- sent orders encouraging the -
further pursuit.
In the end of 1311, the .GOvernment of Madras, on a review
of the sudden increase of the expellee of Surveys in the preced-
ing ifive years, and the unconnected and confused manner in
which these works were executed, without . any general fixed
system, found it necessary to create en office of surveyor-Gene-.
ral, as- was already established at the other residencies, and •
were pleased to appoint Colonel Mackenzie to this charge, for
reasons which he had in vain adduced fourteen years before. In
consequence of the little countenance, given to these propositions
in Europe, and of the measures adopted at Madras in 180f3;-he,
on the completion of the Mysore survey, relinquished all ex-
pectations of conducting what would have been gratifying to
his habits, and more appropriate to his health and time of life,.
some years before ; and he only undertook the charge at this
time, iii the hopes of being useful in assisting to give shape_
and order to what he had lons considered useful to the Infant!,
and beneficial in an economical view to the East India Com-
pany.
Ile was employed in arranging a method of carrying on its
duties in future, and of combining the execution and results of
the several works on one general systematic plan, with measures
for preserving and digesting the various materials resulting
from the labour of several years back, when from the exigencies
of the Military service his professional attendance on the expe-
dition to Java was required by the concurring authorities of
Government; that he had only the time to deposit the materials
then collected into Office, before his attention was necessarily.
directed to the pressing calls of the expedition. Of that Service,
in which he embarked with alacrity; several detailed Reports
were transmitted to tioaernment.
It may not be improperhere to observe, that the plan proposed
for the Surveyor General's Department in 1810,ern braced (with a
gradualextension on one regular system, together with the usual
objects of geographical delineation) a body of Statiatied and his-
torical materials, added to the mass of geographical sod military
'surveys then col'alctedand deposited by Col. 111ackenzie in one of-
fice, for the first time before hisdeparturc. Among these ere a copy
of the Memoirs of Statistical and Cleographidal Survey of the
Mysore Country, with the, original sections, charts, and maps,
contracted from them on various scales, from one to 24 miles,
which were among the first of the official documents delivered
into the office of the Surveyor-General, under the inspection of
a special Committee, early an 1311.
On the Mysore Survey, the detailed reports stand on the re-
cords of Government at Fort Saint George, copies of which were
sent home to England. On its final completion in March 1309,
the remaining establishment of native surveyors was sent on Ina
special representation to the ceded districts, and now we have
almost an entire survey. of all the dominions of the late sove-
reignty of Mysore, as it existed a few years ago in the plenitude
•of its power and territory. 'This • work adds 30,000 square
miles to the 40.000 formerly reported on, and 'altogether seventy
thousand square miles, minutely analyzed. The direction of
this survey of the ceded districts was voluntarily conducted
without any particular corripensation, until it fell into the gene-
ral superintendence of the. Surveyor-General's office, which
is now reversed and transferred to the Surveyor-General of
I India. - -

......
these works were in progress,the collection of materials
on the history, antiquities, and statistics-of the country was ex-
tended throughout the whole of the Provinces under the Pre.si-
dency of Fort Saint George' formed on the basis'of the lights
originally obtained on the Mysore survey by natives trained and
instructed by Colonel Mackenzie for this purpose; and with the
only burthen to Government of the postage being franked, and
the aid of some of the native writers; but all the purchasei
were entirely at his own private expellee,. its well as the collec-
tion of MSS. throughout the Camatic, Malabar, the southern
provinces, the Circars, and the Deckan.
On Colonel,Mackenzie's rctirrn to Fort Saint George in 1815,
he found that the offic; of Surveyor-Cieneral at Madras was
ordered to be abolished ; and before lie could vitll go into the
revisal-and the completion of the review of the survey depart-
oment, which belie" commenced in 1811, and which had been
discontinued in consequence of his being sent on foreign service,
he was honoured with the appointment of Surveyor-Ueneral of
India on a new system, w;iich required a resilea.:e at Calcutta.
