Rulers of India - Warren Hastings

Originally published in 1890. PREFACE: During the present year three folio volumes of letters, Despatches and other state papers preserved in the foreign department of the government of India, 1772 - 1785, have been printed by Authority, under the careful editing of Mr George W Forrest. The period covers the entire rule of Warren Hastings. The present volume endeavours to exhibit for the first time the actual work of that great Governor-General, as reviewed from the firm standpoint of the original records now made available to the student of Indian history. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900's and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
