Abstract:
The history chapter of this Gazetteer was written by Mr. J. T.
Rankin, I.C.S. Exigencies of space necessitated its compression but'to
him entirely is due whatever merit it possesses. I desire to acknowledge
with gratitude the assistance rendered by Colonel Hall, I.M.S., who
examined the chapter on Public Health: Nawab Khwaja Muhammad
Yusuf, Chairman of the Dacca Municipality, Khan Bahadur Saiyid
Aulad Husain, Babu Shoslii Bhusan Mitra, late District Engineer, and
the staff of the Collectorate.
