Describe the methods employed by the Britisher to preserve records in the nineteenth century.

Solution
In the early years of the nineteenth century documents were carefully copied out and beautifully written by calligraphists – that is, by those who specialised in the art of beautiful writing. By the middle of the nineteenth century, with the spread of printing, multiple copies of these records were printed as proceedings of each government department.
