Description
Bengal Ms. Records presents a meticulously curated selection of 14,136 letters housed in the Board of Revenue archives in Calcutta, covering the pivotal period from 1782 to 1807. This first volume focuses on the years 1782 to 1793, a transformative era in British colonial administration in India.
Sir William Wilson Hunter, a renowned historian and administrator, compiled this invaluable collection with scholarly rigor. Each letter is carefully indexed and analyzed to provide researchers and historians with systematic access to original administrative correspondence. The historical dissertation contextualizes these documents within the broader narrative of British colonial governance and revenue management during the late 18th century.
This work serves as an essential primary source for understanding the mechanics of colonial administration, economic policies, and administrative decision-making in Bengal. The analytical index facilitates navigation through complex historical records, making it indispensable for academic research, historical scholarship, and archival study of the colonial period in India.
