The Statistical Account of Bengal, a massive reference work on the 19th century Bengal districts, is still regarded by scholars as standard. The great usefulness of the gazetteer is attested to by the fact that since 1876, it has seen many editions and reprints from London and India. Bengal districts have other gazetteers compiled by various civilians on their own initiative. The Statistical Account of Bengal, however, remains pre-eminent as a source of authenticated statistical information on the respective districts. The other gazetteers were oriented to local history and institutions rather than to statistics.’ Banglapedia The National Encylopaedia of Bangladesh.
