The Economic Life Of A Bengal District (Hardcover)

This is not like conventional introduction of writers of eminence including, William Shakespeare, Leo Tolstoy, Homer, Tagore or others. It is not for literary importance but historical significance, I am happy to remember a great researcher for his outstanding contribution for a district of Bangladesh. He is James Charles Jack, popularly known as J. C Jack, ICS. He was Settlement Officer, for the district of Greater Faridpur; also District Magistrate, Bakarganj (present Barishal) during British period. He outshines many of his colleagues in the ICS for his book ‘The Economic Life Of A Bengal District’, even after a century the radiance of the book has not eroded. Albert Einstein rightly said that there are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle. J C Jack’s contribution was a miracle; it was neither a routine work nor an ordinary presentation. It was really an extra-ordinary research work.
