Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from History of the Events and Transactions Which Have Taken Place in India: Containing the Negotiations of the British Government, Relative to the Glorious Success of the Late War I cannot feel an apology necessary for submitting any thing to the British Nation with the signature of the noble Author of the following Sheets. It would be a reflection on the National Sense to suppose, that the observations of a mind so comprehensive, and abilities so transcendant, should require an apology for being submitted to the Public. It is, however, necessary to account for his Secret Dispatches having obtained this publicity: - It will be in the recollection of everyone, that his Lordship´s dispatches fell into the hands of the French government, by the capture of the Hope East-Indiaman. Why they were not sunk, as is usual on such occasions, is, assuredly, a subject proper for the enquiry of higher powers. Napoleon Bonaparte, who has assumed the government of France, has thought these dispatches sufficiently important for publication in the Moniteur, his official paper. They were contained, in supplementary sheets, to the journal of the 5th June, 1805, No. 256; so that they appear under the great disadvantage of the translation of a translation. No one, however, who is acquainted with the Marquis Wellesley, or his diction, will attribute any deficiency, in that respect to the noble Governor. I believe I may claim the credit of having rendered it faithfully into intelligible English, and beyond that my ambition does not extend. His excellency´s former production, giving an account of the military operations of the Mahratta War 1803, introduced by the most enlightened sketch of Indian History that has ever hitherto appeared, will be absolutely necessary in the perusal of this work, which has been printed uniformly with it.
