Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Vindication of Warren Hastings The simple object of this book is to exhibit as clearly as may be, and therefore without prejudice or passion, in language that may be understood of all, the proofs, contained in three volumes of State Papers edited by Mr. G. E. Forrest, and published by order of the Indian Government, that Warren Hastings, the man who made our Indian Empire and preserved it for the Crown was wholly innocent of the crimes so often and so grievously laid to bis charge. Some of these proofs have already been given to the public (notably by Sir John Strachey in his admirable volume on the Rohilla War), but in disconnected form, and in some cases imperfectly A full light has been thrown on the whole history of the case by the labours of Mr. Forrest, and there is no excuse now for evading the discussion of any part of the subject. This book, professedly founded on the volumes above referred to, deals with six principal heads of accusation made by various speakers and writers and it is confidently submitted that in no single case can a verdict of guilty be maintained, in the face of present knowledge, against the ´Great Accused´. If this be so, it is surely time that the truth should be openly and generously acknowledged, and the injustice of past generations be done away.
