Description

Early Revenue History of Bengal and the Fifth Report, 1812 presents a comprehensive analysis of Bengal's fiscal administration during a pivotal period in East India Company affairs. Originally delivered as four lectures at Dacca College by distinguished Bengali civil servant F.D. Ascoli, this work incorporates the complete text of the Fifth Report from the Select Committee of the House of Commons, which shaped the company's 1813 charter. The book provides detailed examination of the Permanent Revenue Settlement of Bengal established under Lord Cornwallis, alongside the policy discussions and arguments presented by James Grant, Sir John Shore, and Lord Cornwallis himself. This scholarly resource offers essential insights into early 19th-century colonial administration, revenue systems, and the foundational decisions that influenced British East India Company governance and Bengal's economic development during a transformative historical period.
