Fort William College Calcutta 

‘Fort William, on the south bank of the river, is said to be stronger than any other fortress in India. It reflects great honour on the talents of Colonel Polier, the engineer. The buildings on all sides of the park in which it stands are of a large scale, allowing that free circulation of fresh air which is so necessary in Bengal.’ This is a quote from The Claudians: gardens, landscapes, reason and faith: John Claudius Loudon and Claudius Buchanan, Tom Turner (Kindle, 2024)
