Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Life of Sir Henry Lawrence The first portion of the Life of Sir Henry Lawrence, now presented to the public, was compiled by his dear friend and scholar in Indian administration and statesmanship, Sir Herbert Edwardes. It contains abundant evidence of the early connection between the two. It is only necessary for me to add that Sir Herbert´s best-remembered title to the gratitude of his countrymen was gained in the three months, May - August 1848, when, with a mere handful of men at his disposal, he kept in check the revolted Sikhs before Mooltan. At that time Sir Henry Lawrence was absent in England. When he returned to his post Edwardes became one of the most trusted and valued members of his administrative corps of assistants in the Punjaub. When Sir Henry-was moved to Rajpootana in 1853 Edwardes remained in his old province. He again earned in a special manner the thanks of his countrymen for his demeanour in the outlying station of Peshawur during the mutiny of 1857. In 1864 he came to England on sick leave. He was then entrusted by the Lawrence family with the charge of preparing a memoir of his deceased friend, and with ample materials for executing it. But he left it unfinished at his death in December 1868. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
