Originally published in 1986, this work discusses the development
in Dacca of western-style municipal organization and its financial
and practical problems and also explores the economic transition of
the city after 1840. It is one of the few urban studies which
carries through from the 'old order' to the new administrative
towns of British rule and attempts to show what happened to the
communities of townsmen in the period of adaptation. It casts new
light on the function and organization of Indian urban societies in
the colonial period, on the transfer of western institutions and
the organization and composition of Bengali trade outside Calcutta.
