Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Thacker's Guide to Calcutta IN writing the present work, I have kept in view the needs of Calcutta residents who wish to familiarise themselves with the story of their great city and of visitors who will naturally ask to be shown objects of interest peculiar to the place. It has not seemed worth either my reader's while or my own to enter into descriptions of those commonplace buildings of public utility which may be found in every city, or to send the stranger in search of what he can see every day in his native land. It will be observed that the present book is an humble imitation of the justly famous guide-books of the late Augustus Hare. Following the example of that admirable cicerone, I have, whenever a place or an event has been already well described, preferred to quote the author's words rather than to appropriate his matter and by re-setting his phrases make it appear to be my own.

This book was released on 2017-10-27 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Early History and Growth of Calcutta The (lav when Job Charnock, sitting under the shade of a big peepul tree at a place now known as Baitackkhana Bazar, smoked meditativelv his favourite hooks]: and selected Calcutta as a most convenient site for the trading purposes of the English merchants, whose agent he then was, little did he calculate that he was practically laying the foundation of a great Empire for his countrymen. Their sole object then was to shake the golden pagoda tree, which, according to a i'vestern superstition, was supposed to grow and flourish in Indian soil. Little (lid Job Charnock anticipate the consequences of his decision. It is a hazardous task to calculate the destinies of nations. Behind the veil of futurity many forces are at work, which even a deep and penetrative mind is unable to fathom. In preper season they become manifest, when, so to speak, they attain their full maturity and development. I'vhen Job Charnock made his choice, it was remote even from the dreams of the most farsighted man that Calcutta would become the capital of the British Indian Empire.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Echoes From Old Calcutta: Being Chiefly Reminiscences of the Days of Warren, Hastings, Francis, and Impey HE fact of a fourth edition of this book being called for T suggests-that it retains the gratifying opinion formed of it, mainly by readers in India. To make it more deserving of the favour continued to it, matter has been added to this Edition not appearing in its predecessor, and the book has been generally amplified during revision by new material collected from time to time. It has also been more liberally illustrated, and furnished with an index and chronology. It may be explained, perhaps, though scarcely necessary even for readers out of India, that the first article deals with an historical event long anterior in point of time to the period mainly contemplated in the title page. Still the subject is one which of necessity finds a place in a volume, such as this, purporting to look back on Old Calcutta. Mr. S. C. Hill's valuable work has of course been referred to by me when revising this article. His exhaustive labours facilitate the work of chroniclers who may now or henceforth have occasion to treat of Bengal or Calcutta in 1756 - 7. It is satisfactory to recognise that much more interest is now shown in the events and historical characters of the period first named, and of that which followed it, than was the case not many years back. The recent starting of the much-needed Calcutta Historical Society, and its establishment under very favourable auspices, are promising Signs that the growing interest in old times is not to be ephemeral, but is to be fostered into sturdy growth. All well-wishers to Calcutta (indeed to India) must hope for the successful progress of a society which will find much useful work for its kindly hand.
