The Calcutta Review

The Calcutta Review was founded in May 1844, by Sir John William Kaye and Reverend Alexander Duff.

Through the journal, Sir John Kaye aimed "to bring together such useful information, and propagate such sound opinions, relating to Indian affairs, as will, it is hoped, conduce, in some small measure, directly or indirectly, to the amelioration of the condition of the people".

Sir John Kaye was Editor of four issues, and then retired due to ill health.

It was printed by Sanders and Cowes until 1857, when it moved to the Serampore Press.

In 1921, it was acquired by the Calcutta University press, which now releases it bi-annually.
