Synopsis
The Calcutta Review presents a miscellany of nineteenth-century scholarly essays and critical notices on colonial administration, archaeology, literature, and social reform. Central pieces include a detailed critique and expansion of J. Westland’s Jessore district report, examining geography, antiquities, local history, and the contested Barisal Guns; a humane, observational portrayal of an English county jail in Our County Gaol; and a comprehensive historical-theological survey of Muhammad, Islam, and the Koran, framed by contemporary debates with Renan and Gibbon. The issue also surveys broader South Asian antiquities, Indian metaphysics, opium revenue, and the Indian Political Department, weaving together policy analysis, textual criticism, and epic and vernacular literature. Additional sections critique Bengali literature, highlight mass education schemes in Bengal, and discuss the fortunes of the Eurasians (Burghers) of Ceylon, all within a late-century imperial milieu. The collection blends rigorous historical critique with social reflection, seeking to align colonial scholarship with local traditions and ethical considerations.
