It lists the members of the government civil servants and the members of the king's troops as well as schools events religious societies births marriages and deaths and the departure and arrival of ships with the ships from Calcutta further highlighted on a folding table. The work is very rare as it is only available in one library and we have not been able to find it in any sales records of the past 100 years. This seemingly exhaustive directory is an invaluable resource for anyone interested in the movements of people in Bengal at the time.The leather is somewhat scratched and bumped the front joint has split at the head and foot but the board is still attached the leather on the spine is slightly cracked. With a grey stain on the fore-edge some of the text on page 25-29 has been crossed out by hand pages XI-XIV in the back are nearly detached. Otherwise in very good condition.l WorldCat 776890501 1 copy. Samuel Smith and Co. at the Bengal Hurkaru Press, unknown
