Babu Dinesh Chandra Sen has published his book ‘বঙ্গভাষা ও সাহিত্য’ and a copy of it has been presented to the Association. Babu Dinesh Chandra was the first Vidyasagar medalist of the Association and he says in the preface to his book that the Vidyasagar medal gave him the incentive for its composition. ‘বঙ্গভাষা ও সাহিত্য’ has been enthusiastically received by the public and has been declared to be an epoch-making book in Bengali literature. The members congratulate themselves on having a hand in the production of the work. Concerned as they are to learn that the pressure of work entailed by the composition of the book has shattered the author's health, they pray to God that he may soon be restored to health.”
