Hardcover. Condizione: Good. 1st Edition. Original printed paper covered boards with yellow cloth spine 13x19cm. (8), 64pp with numerous b/w maps, drawings and photo illustrations in text. Boards very good, spine dusted. Some sections are starting to come loose. Apparent bleeding from the spine cloth has caused red staining to several inner margins. First published in 1932, this is the 4th and apparently final printing (1944), with RH Ardill's book of the same name appearing in 1945. Ingrams wrote it and a separately published "School History" (1931) while he was Assistant Colonial Secretary on Mauritius, in between his postings to Zanzibar and Aden. The Schools Committee adopted it as their official textbook for higher primary and middle secondary classes. It contains descriptions of Mauritian districts and dependencies, illustrated with photos of local scenes by Roger Halbwachs.
