Warren Hastings is a biography written by Alfred Lyall that tells the story of Warren Hastings, an English statesman who served as the Governor-General of Bengal from 1772 to 1785. The book provides a comprehensive account of Hastings’ life, from his early years as a clerk in the East India Company to his rise to power in India. It details his achievements and controversies during his tenure as Governor-General, including his efforts to reform the administration of Bengal, his role in the Bengal Famine of 1770, and his impeachment trial in 1788. Lyall draws from a variety of sources, including Hastings’ own writings, to provide a balanced and nuanced portrait of this complex figure. The book also explores the broader historical context of British colonialism in India and its impact on Indian society and culture. Overall, Warren Hastings is a fascinating and informative read for anyone interested in the history of British colonialism or the life of one of its most influential figures.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
