Σελίδα 109 - I cannot suppose that the condition of the Company, with relation to any part of its territorial possessions in India, can be considered to be similar to that of a private individual proprietor of a landed estate. The Company, with relation to its territory in India, must be viewed in the capacity of a sovereign.
Σελίδα 188 - Governor-General of India, British Ambassador in Spain, Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, and Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland, these volumes are inscribed as a tribute most justly due to so illustrious a statesman ; and in commemoration of the rare felicity of England, so rich in genius and capacity for affairs, that she can spare from her service such men as Lord Wellesley.
Σελίδα 120 - Finally, their early habits should be so formed, as to establish in their minds such solid foundations of industry, prudence, integrity, and religion, as should effectually guard them against those temptations and corruptions with which the nature of this climate, and the peculiar depravity of the people of India, will surround and assail them in every station, especially upon their first arrival in India.

I therefore conclude, that in the consideration of every question of Indian policy, or in an inquiry into the expediency of any political measure, it is absolutely necessary to view it. not only as it will affect Indian powers, but as it will affect the French.
Σελίδα 117 - I think it necessary to apprise you of my intention to adopt without delay a plan for the improvement of the civil service at Bengal in a most important point. The state of the administration of justice, and even of the collection of revenue throughout the provinces, affords a painful example of the inefficacy of the best code of laws to secure the happiness of the people, unless due provision has been made to ensure a proper supply of men qualified to administer those laws in their different branches...
Σελίδα 105 - It is worth while to review these transactions, in order that we may see to what these misfortunes ought to be attributed, that in future, if possible, they may be avoided. ' In the first place, it appears that Colonel Monson's corps was never so strong as to be able to engage Holkar's army, if that Chief should collect it; at least the Colonel was of that opinion. ' Secondly ; it appears that it had not any stock of provisions. ' Thirdly ; that it depended for provisions upon certain Rajahs, who...

For in nations, and above all in Spain, how often have the apparent symptoms of dissolution been the presages of new life, and of renovated vigour ? Therefore, I would cling to Spain in her last struggle ; therefore, I would watch her last agonies, I would wash and heal her •wounds, I would receive her parting breath, I would catch and cherish the last vital spark of her expiring patriotism. Nor let this be deemed a mere office of pious charity ; nor an...

Σελίδα 30 - General at Bombay. There are two parties throughout the Bombay establishment, and these are, the civil and military services; and the latter are divided into two parties, those in the King's and those in the Company's service. The disputes of these parties are the sole business of every man under the government of Bombay ; and they are maintained by the system of encouragement given to correspondence, and the perpetual references to individuals by Government.
