Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Warren Hastings With Notes and Appendices In his work entitled The Reign of Queen Victoria, ´India,´ Sir John Strachey remarks, "Sir Henry Maine has pointed out with admirable truth the consequences in India of the fact that English classical literature towards the end of the last century was ´saturated with party politics.´ ´This,´ he says, ´would have been a less serious fact if, at this epoch, one chief topic of the great writers and rhetoricians, of Burke and Sheridan, of Fox and Francis, had not been India itself. I have no doubt that the view of Indian government taken at the end of the century by Englishmen whose works and speeches are held to be models of English style has had deep effect on the mind of the educated Indian of this day. We are only now beginning to see how excessive inaccurate were their statements of fact and how one-sided were their judgments.´ These remarks of Sir Henry Maine point to what I have long believed to be a serious misfortune - the non-existence of any history of British India, which is trustworthy and complete in its facts, and which at the same time possesses the essential quality of literary excellence.
