Description
Bengal Ms. Records presents a meticulously curated selection of 14,136 letters housed in the Board of Revenue archives at Calcutta, documenting a crucial period in Bengal’s administrative history from 1782 to 1807. This first volume focuses exclusively on the years 1782 to 1793, a formative period following the American Revolution and during the consolidation of British colonial administration in India.
Compiled by the renowned historian Sir William Wilson Hunter, this work serves as an indispensable resource for scholars researching colonial India, administrative history, and the East India Company’s operations. Beyond the extensive letter collection, the volume includes a substantial historical dissertation providing context for the correspondence and an analytical index enabling researchers to locate specific documents and themes within the archive.
The letters offer invaluable insights into revenue administration, land settlements, trade policies, and the daily functioning of colonial governance in Bengal. This hardcover edition from Gyan Publishing House preserves these critical historical documents for academic research and historical study.
