Publisher's Synopsis
""A Letter to Edmund Burke, In Reply to the Insinuations in the Ninth Report of the Select Committee, Which Affect the Character of Mr. Hastings"" is a book written by Major John Scott in 1783. The book is a response to the ninth report of the select committee, which had made insinuations about the character of Mr. Hastings. Edmund Burke was a member of the select committee and a prominent politician in the British Parliament. The book is a defense of Mr. Hastings, who was the Governor-General of India at the time. The author argues that the insinuations made by the select committee were unfounded and that Mr. Hastings was a man of great integrity and honor. The book provides a detailed account of the events leading up to the insinuations made by the select committee and offers a thorough rebuttal of their claims. It is a valuable historical document that sheds light on the political and social climate of the time, as well as the character of one of the most important figures in British colonial history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
