Author Description

Excerpt from India Under Dalhousie and Canning Mr. Kaye is a writer of much ability, and pos sessing large knowledge of his subject. But he has some preconceived theories to maintain, and of these he never loses sight. His narra tives are always woven so as to bring out a certain pattern; and threads of a colour which do not suit that pattern have not much chance of being taken up. It is because I have been led to form different conclusions from those which-have prevailed of late on some important questions connected with the recent History of India, that I now republish these Essays in a separate form. I have the satisfaction of knowing that most of the views here taken had the approval of the late Sir George C. Lewis, whose knowledge on this as well as on so many other subjects was as large and accurate as his judgment was always thoroughly free from prejudice.
