Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Sketches of Rulers of India, Vol. 2: The Company's Governors; Clive, Hastings, Munro, Malcolm, Elphinstone, Metcalfe, Thomason, Colvin
The period covered by the careers of these eight early administrators is one of the most remarkable and the most interesting periods Of the history of the British connexion with India. It extends over exactly one hundred years, from the laying of the first foundations of British supremacy in one remote corner of the Indian Continent, onwards throughout its gradual expansion, till it spread practically over the whole country, and down to the determined attempt that was made at the end of that period to over throw it.
