Palamow, Ramgur, Chuta-Naopour, and their Dependencies, are comprized in one Map, which makes the eighth and last Division of Bengal and Bahar.
The Order of placing these Divisions being quite arbitrary, I have begun with that which contains Calcutta, and gone on towards Patna; it being the Route of all others, the most used. The Index Map will at once convey an Idea of the relative Positions of the several Divisions, as well as their Places in the Book.
As it was necessary to bring all Bengal and Bahar into one View, I have also constructed a General Map of those Countries on a more confined Scale, though large enough to contain every Place of the least Note.
The Countries fituated between Bengal and Delhi from a second general Map on a similar Scale with that of Bengal: but it is in few Respects so compleat; the Survey being conducted on a more limited Plan. Probably these Maps contain a larger Tract of surveyed Country, than is to be found in all the Maps of the European Kingdoms put together; and they owe their Existence chiefly to the Arrangements made by the late noble Lord, to whose Genius and Courage Great Britain owes the Sovereignty of Bengal.
The Doo-Ab, Cossimbuzar Island, and the Environs of Dacca, have each a separate Map on a large Scale, as being Tracts more particularly interesting.
To these are added seven more of the Ganges, Burrampooter, and Hoogly Rivers, and of the Tract called the Woods or Sunderbunds; on large Scales: and which it is hoped, will afford useful and agreeable helps towards ascertaining the Progress through the principal Inland Navigations. To render it still more compleat, Tables of the Routes and Distances by Water, between the principal Towns, are also inserted; by means of which a general Calculation may be made of the Time required to perform any particular Voyage.
Some Plans of Fortresses are also added, together with the Attack of Oudanulla and Battle of Buxar; each of which successfully ter-minated
