Book Description
Excerpt from The Rise of Our Indian Empire: Being the History of British India From Its Origin Till Peace of 1783 To the marvels of this the most remarkable event in politics since the discovery of the New World, - the sub jugation of India by the English, - might be added, how seldom and how imperfectly its particulars are known to the English themselves. Men of education and know ledge amongst us will generally be found far better versed in other modern achievements of much less magnitude, and in which our countrymen had no concern. The reason is, I conceive, that the historians of British India, some of them eminent in other respects, all require from their readers for their due comprehension a preliminary stock of Eastern lore. Peiliaps a stronger popular im pression might attend a less learned and less copious work. Meanwhile, to trace the origin of our Eastern greatness in a slight but clear and faithful outline, however feebly performed, is at least no unworthy aim. I shall endeavour in this and the following chapter to shadow forth the first part of the career, - sometimes, it is true, marred by incapacity, and sometimes stained by injustice, but on the whole the career of genius and of velour, by which in less than fifty years a factory was changed into an empire.
