Excerpt from Rulers of India: The Earl of Mayo The Life of Dalhousie dealt with the last accessions made to the British dominions in India under the East India Company. The present volume exhibits a memorable stage in the process by which those dominions, old and new, were welded together into the India of the Queen. Between the two periods a time of trial had intervened. Northern India, drained of its European regiments in spite of the protests of Dalhousie, seemed during the agony of 1857 to lie at the mercy of the revolted native troops. The Mutiny left behind it many political lessons, and two historical facts. These facts were that the Sepoys in whom the East India Company gloried as its chief strength had proved its chief danger, and that the ruling princes of India, whom the Company always regarded as a main source of danger, had proved a source of strength. I say the ruling princes of India. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Some Aspects of British Rule in India The usual point of view of the English rulers of India is that all is well in India. It may be frankly stated that this idea is generally accepted outside of India. In these pages the writer makes an attempt to present some aspects of British rule in India from the angle of the ruled. I may add that I am fully aware and duly appreciative of the many solid advantages of English rule; and if I have not dwelt on those aspects of Indian administration it is because I have considered it more important just now to point out certain evils and suggest constructive re forms. The policy of repression which characterizes the modern regime is, I believe, doing much harm. For the sake of the Em pire responsible English statesmanship should give earnest con sideration to the betterment of conditions in India.

Excerpt from Rulers of India: Lord Amberst and the British Advance Eastwards to Burma The Amherst country lies in that delightful region where the North Downs slope from Sevenoaks to Tunbridge and the Weald of Kent. The place which bears the name is in the parish of Pembury, within a few miles of Tunbridge, and from the Pipe Rolls of 1215 down to the Tudor period we find mention of those who took their description from the spot. The Reverend Jeffery Amherst was, in the time of the Commonwealth, Rector of Horsmonden, a parish east of Pembury, and about eight miles east of Tunbridge Wells. The son, the grandson, and the great grandson of that worthy were successively barristers and benchers of Gray's Inn. The second of these legal dignitaries, who died in 1713, fixed his seat at River-head, a pleasant village close to Sevenoaks, and about fifteen miles to the north-east of the original Pembury home.

Excerpt from The History of British India, Vol. 1 IN the Preface to the History of British India, Mr. Mill has claimed for himself the merits of patient and laborious investigation, and of orn-inal'adn'd inde pendent judgment.

His history is remarkable for extensive and diligent research, and for Opinions which are peculiar either to the author, or to the school of which he was a distinguished disciple.

Excerpt from British Rule in India The more I read about it, the more unjust it seemed. So many Americans have, however, during the last few years spoken admirably of England's colonial system that I have looked forward to the visit to India with increasing interest, because of the opportunity it would give me to study at close range a question of vital importance to our country.
