According to the obituary of  K. G.  Śankar in the JRAS of 1926 (Issue 3, July 1926, pp. 584-87; http://www.jstor.org/stable/25221050 ), the Setuyātrānuvarṇanam is to be counted "among his (...) early works, which all remain unpublished" (like his Sanskrit translation of The Merchant of Venice). 
The Harvard exemplar (ex libris Ch. R. Lanman) of the 1st ed. of his Bhāratānuvarṇanam (Trivandrum: Printers' Jobbing Press, 1905) is available at:

> However, I suspect that it was issued in some local/Kerala publishing house or journal. As it must have been the case of his poem Cakravartinīguṇamaṇimālā (in praise of Queen Victoria) and other original Sanskrit compositions. The NCC should be checked s.v.
> At the least his manual of Indian culture entitled Bhāratānuvarṇanam, prefaced (in English) by Sylvain Lévi (who was in epistolary contact with him and at the request of whom the work was written) was issued in 1905 (2nd and 3rd ed. Trivandrum : Sudharma Print House, 1925 and 1940; re-issued by V. Subrahmanyan, Hyderabad: Sanskrit Academy, 2010, Sanskrit Academy Series (ed. T. Keshava Narayana) no. 83).

>> Dear all

>> I am searching for details of the work Setuyatranuvarnana by T Ganapaty Shastri.
>> 
>> In the book History of Sanskrit Literature by Krsnamacariar mentions that the MS of the work is in his home(even I tried contacting his grandchildren but no success), but in the book Kaumudikatha Kallolini the name of the work is quoted which leads to suspect that the work would have printed after 1930s.

>> Please if any one knows the details of the edition of the book let me know.
