The first volume containing maps is a facsimile edition of Rennell's 'A Bengal Atlas' first published in 1780. The second colume contains Rennell's The Journal', 'A Description of the Roads in Bengal and Bihar' An Account of the Ganges and Burrampooter Rivers', and a biogrphy written in 1895 of James Rennell by Clements R. mankham.

These two classic volumes, especially the first volume frequently referred by the historians and geographers, had long been rare. Sahitya Samsad has painstakingly restored the maps and reproduced them impeccably. We believe that this publication will fulfil the long felt need of the society at large and hope that it will attract the attention of students, scholars and a wide section of the gereral public.
