His Atlas of the Counties of England and Wales was published in parts between 1829 and 1834. 'It was an astonishing achievement for a private surveyor in so short a time. The majority of these surveys anticipated publication of the sheets of the Ordnance Survey. Even in the south of England and in Lincolnshire, where the Ordnance Survey published their maps first, Greenwood did not slavishly copy the work, but offered a distinctive style and some additional information; not least of the attractions of his maps was the high standard of the engraving ... The enduring popularity of its plates came partly from the beautifully engraved vignettes of cathedrals, castles, or town views that graced each one' (ODNB).

Supported by colonial patronage, the firm published an estimated 5,000 titles in Arabic, Persian, Urdu, Sanskrit and Hindi during Nawal Kishore's lifetime, while it also served as an intellectual hub for scholars, poets and literati. As one observer noted: "No other press in India was fortunate to have such a large number of huffaz, scholars, historians, writers and poets as were gathered simultaneously at this press"' (Ulrike Stark, 'Calligraphic Masterpiece, Mass-Produced Scripture: Early Qur'an Printing in Colonial India', in Reese, ed., Manuscript and Print in the Islamic Tradition, 2002, p. 158). Compiled in India in the 1820s by Ghiyas al-Din Muhammad Rampuri, the Ghiyas al-Lughat is considered 'one of the [most] authoritative dictionaries of the Persian language' (Encyclopaedia Iranica). It was probably first printed in Lucknow in 1847-8, and shaped the Persian lexicographical tradition during the 19th and 20th centuries.
