Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Article on the Colonization and Commerce of British India: From the Westminster Review, No; XXII, for October 1829 In turning over our earlier numbers it is a matter of some self-reproach, and more regret, that a subject of such vast moment as the government of British India should so seldom have occupied their pages. The neglect shall be repaired in future, and with usury for delay. Till of late years, a very imperfect knowledge existed in this country of the state of British India. The company had gone on adding field to field, and kingdom to kingdom, and the news of their military triumphs were the sole portion of their history, with which the public was favoured. We were accustomed to listen to the tale of imprisoned and ransomed princes - of captured towns and provinces - of defeated armies - and of splendid treaties of peace. The power which was already gigantic, went on increasing in magnitude, and little was heard but the echoes of shoutings which celebrated victories won. Who inquired - who cared - about the vanquished millions? This was the day of spoliation - of oppression - of impunity; but, little by little, attention was awakened to the huge empire which the company of merchants had gradually mastered. Some of their misdoings found a voice in England, till at last floods of light have burst upon the question; and among the most valuable of the light given, we reckon the intelligent and benevolent authors of the works whose titles head this article, on whose treasures we shall draw without hesitation.
