Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: HOR-I25
HOWRAH , a city and
district
  of British India, in the Burdwan division of
Bengal
 . The city is situated opposite Calcutta, with which it is connected by a floating
bridge
 . The municipal area is about 11 sq. m.; pop. (1901) 157,594, showing an increase of 35 % in the decade. Since 1872 the
population
  has almost doubled, owing to the
great
  industrial development that has taken place. Howrah is the terminus of the
East
  Indian railway, and also of the
Bengal
 -Nagpur and
East
 
Coast
  lines. It is also the centre of two light railways which run to Amta and Sheakhala. Further, it is the headquarters of the jute-manufacturing industry, with many steam mills, steam presses, also
The book is still of
interest
 , especially for its descriptive passages, which were mostly done by
Howson
 ; but later researches (such us those of Sir W. M. Ramsay) have made the geographical and historical sections obsolete, and the same may be said of the treatment of the Pauline theology.
