Synopsis
"Seringapatam; Past And Present: A Monograph" by George Bruce Malleson surveys the famed fortress on the island of the Kaveri, tracing its history from early Hindu foundations to the rise of Haidar Ali and Tippu Sultan, and its fall before British arms in 1799. The author blends narrative history with technical description of Seringapatam's formidable fortifications, its double walls, ditches, and bastions that made it a formidable fortress. He recounts the sieges of 1792 and 1799 in detail, including the strategic decisions of Lord Cornwallis and Lord Harris, the crossing of the river, the breaches, and the heroic storming of the ramparts. The work also places the fortress in the wider political context of Mysore and southern India, portraying how Tippu's alliances and ambitions shaped the conflict with the British. In addition to military history, the volume offers observations for travelers visiting the site and preserves official reflections on its preservation in later years. The Preface explains the author’s motivation, including collaboration with Captain Malet and the interest aroused by royal visits to Mysore.
