Book Description
Excerpt from The Governors-General of India: First Series One lovely summer's afternoon, as the sun was lighting up the sparkling rivul'et that flows through an estate in the west of England, a little boy, about seven years of age, lay dreaming on its grassy bank. His ancestors had owned this beautiful estate 5 but, owing to ill-fortune or to poverty, it had Slipped from their possession. The idea that he would recover it flashed through his childish mind. This was, however, no mere passing dream. The resolve, thus early made, clung to him all through his career, and, in the evening of his life, it became an accomplished fact. He purchased the estate, Spent his last years in possession of it, and there his eyes closed in death. The estate was Daylesford in the county of Worcester, and the childish dreamer was Warren Hastings, the first governor-general of Bengal.
