Author: otis_andrew Surnames: Hicky Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.asia.india.general/2830/mb.ashx Message Board Post: I am conducting a study on the origins of the newspaper press in India circa 1780-1820, and am especially interested in Hicky's Bengal Gazette in Calcutta. James Hicky was the founder and editor of the paper, which lasted for two years. Other than at the British Library or National Library of India. Does anyone know if any of his private correspondence exists? I am very keen for information as The Bengal Gazette is the focus of my Fulbright research project.
