Synopsis Calcutta in the 19 Century (Company's Days) sets at rest your hunt for rare books on the history of Charnock's City which is getting ready to celebrate its tercentenary. Accounts of Calcutta from thirty five rare books are here presented to provide source materials for Calcutta's history. Numerous selections from the contemporary press were made in the past for the study of Bengal renaissance but Calcutta, which gave birth to that epoch, was overlooked by the zealots. This lacuna is filled up in the Calcutta in the 19 Century for the first time. Mr. Nair has garnered almost all rare works on this city in his Calcutta in the 19 Century. This is a unique contribution to the history of Calcutta.
