A remarkably detailed work which contains much more detail, as it relates to Bengal, than the Official Directory, which covers the whole event. A rare survival of which there is no indication of the print run but it was almost certainly only printed in a sufficient number to be given to the residents of the Bengal camps and their visitors. A similar book was produced for the King Emperor’s Camp and we once had a much smaller volume for the Madras camp but we have noticed no others. Until the announcement of the transfer of the capital to Delhi at the Durbar Bengal had a very superior feel to the other parts of India as it was the seat of Government and residence of the Viceroy and Governor General.
