A searchable, re-typeset edition of Fiona Ross, "The Evolution of the Printed Bengali Character from 1778 to 1978" (Ph.D., SOAS, 1988), transcribed from the 431-leaf ProQuest scan. All 431 pages done; 178 plates and 410 inline type specimens cut from the scan; 51 errata. Tracked: the transcription (src/pages), the preamble and its typographic decisions, the cut images (plates/ — not reliably regenerable, the crop specs for the inline cuts were never scripted), tools, and the four working documents. Not tracked: the built PDF, which `make` remakes from src/ and plates/; the ProQuest scan under source/, which is third-party and needed only by `make prep` and `make plate`; scans/ and work/, both regenerable.

Verify already-transcribed pages against the scan.
For the PDF page range $ARGUMENTS (default: the last batch listed in CONTINUATION.md): re-rasterize each page at 130 dpi if scans/hi-NNN.jpg is missing, view it, and compare word by word with src/pages/pNNNN.tex — spelling, italics, diacritics, footnote mark positions, footnote text, caption wording, page number. Fix discrepancies in the .tex, log anything ambiguous in QUESTIONS.md, then make check && make build. Report every change made.
