In this 1822 work, Lieutenant Adam White (1790 1839) of the Bengal
Native Infantry reviews the state of India under British rule,
presenting arguments for and against colonisation, the activities
of missionaries and the freedom of the Press. He also discusses the
Indian Army and its recent activities in Nepal and against the
Mahrattas, as well as the civil government. He explains in his
preface that, having spent twelve years in India, he had no plans
to write a book and had not collected any material for it, but a
chance reading of Prinsep's account of Warren Hastings'
administration changed that. White set out to 'amuse his leisure on
board ship' back to Europe by refuting Prinsep's account, and
attempting to offer the British public an alternative view of
Hastings' rule. White was posted as political agent to Upper Assam,
and was later killed in action at Sadiya.
