Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Letters, Political, Military, and Commercial, on the Present State and Government of the Province of Oude and Its Dependencies: Addressed to Sir John Shore, Baronet, Governor General of the British Possessions in India Sir, The importance of the following reflections, which are the result of long experience, and a minute knowledge of the Nawab Vizier´s, country, will, it is hoped, be an apology for this intrusion, from a person who has no other means of conveying his sentiments to you. They were thrown hastily together on the departure of his Excellency´s ministers for Calcutta, with the declared intention of effecting some change in the existing engagements with the Company, and are addressed, I trust, with peculiar propriety to you, to whom I shall take the further liberty of addressing such elucidations, as the subject may seem to require. Should this effort, in any manner, contribute to bring relief to the wretched inhabitants of this distracted country, it will be a heartfelt gratification to me, and all the reward I expect or hope. Considering the immense advantages which the Honourable Company derive from their connection with the Nawab Vizier, and the minute attention they pay to whatever may promote their own prosperity, and support their interest in the East, it is a matter of surprise and astonishment, that they have never taken any measures for the improvement of his country; nor even used the common precautions which prudence dictates, or good sense directs, for its defence and permanent security. A too literal adherence to their engagements, and a studious, perhaps a culpable compliance with the prejudices of an interested party in England, may have hitherto prevented any interference in the interior management of his country. But to a cool and dispassionate mind, not biassed by prejudice, nor warped by interest, their conduct to him, ever since he has been placed on the Musnud, would appear, rather that of an insidious enemy, systematically devising means for his destruction, than as friends and protectors united in the fame views, and the fame interests.
