Abstract

Fort William College was established at Calcutta, the capital of the

British East India Company occupied territory, in 1800 AD for the

purpose to taught local languages, history, etc. to new comer European

officers in India. Dr. John Gilchrist was appointed the professor of

Hindustani or Urdu language. In his patronage many prominent Urdu

writers wrote a large number of Urdu Prose (and some poetic) books

which have a great historical and literary importance. Some of those books

were made published by the College. Aside a number of research books

and various writings on Fort William College, there is less, rather nothing

any information and research study about the first publication of Fort

William College belongs to Hindoostanee or Urdu. This article gives some
