Atkinson said " Dacca is one of the most delightful stations in India, its climate being healthy and agreeable, its bazaars abundantly supplied ... and each commodity the most excellent of its kind.

Dhakay Syuff Khan er Moshjid, 1814

James Atkinson ei chobi ti shomporke bolechen : " In the climate of Dacca ... vegetation is rapid and abundant. If a bird drop a seed, or the wind waft one where it may find permanent lodgement among the chinks of a building it presently puts forth fibres which soon become roots and branches, clinging among the stucco and fissures, and finding nourishment, as it were, in the midst of sterility - the Mosque of Syuff Khan has thus been o'ercanopied with the foliage of the banian. "

James Atkinson likhechen, "Another vignette ... from the tasteful pencil of Mr. Chinnery, wherein two or three cottages are seen at a distance across part of the river. The one in the fore-ground is that of a poor muslin weaver, formed of bamboo, mud, and matting thatched with straw: his umbrella and a few of his domestic culinary utensils, are lying about, and at the right hand corner is part of a loom".
