Publisher's Synopsis
""A Review of the Principal Charges Against Warren Hastings, Esq., Late Governor General of Bengal"" is a book written by John Logan and published in 1788. The book is a critical analysis of the accusations made against Warren Hastings, who served as the Governor General of Bengal from 1773 to 1785. The charges against Hastings were related to his alleged mismanagement of the East India Company's affairs in India, including corruption, abuse of power, and mistreatment of Indian subjects. In this book, Logan examines each of the charges against Hastings in detail, providing evidence and arguments to support his conclusions. He argues that many of the accusations were based on hearsay and lacked sufficient evidence to support them. He also defends Hastings' actions in some cases, such as his decision to go to war with the Marathas, which Logan believes was necessary for the protection of British interests in India. The book is an important historical document as it sheds light on the controversies surrounding the British rule in India during the 18th century. It is also an example of the debates that were taking place in England at the time about the nature of colonialism and the responsibilities of colonial administrators. Overall, ""A Review of the Principal Charges Against Warren Hastings, Esq., Late Governor General of Bengal"" is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of British India and the debates about colonialism in the late 18th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
