কীয় ዓ®® Kishore, formerly employed at the Serampore press, who appears to have been the first who conceived the idea of printing works in the current language as a means of acquiring wealth. To ascertain the pulse of the Hindoo public, he printed several works at the press of a European, for which having obtained a ready sale, he established an office of his own, and opened a book-shop. For more..than six years, he continued to print in Calcutta various works in the Bengalee language, but having disagreed with his coadjutor, he has now removed his press to his native village. He appointed agents in the chief towns and villages in Bengal, from whom his books were purchased with great avidity ; and within a fortnight after the publication from the Serampore press of the Sumachar Durpun, the first Native Weekly Journal printed in India, he published another, which we hear has since failed.“On the effect of the Native Press in India,” pp. 134-35.
