Charles Cornwallis, first Marquis Cornwallis (1738-1805), was a
highly influential colonial governor and British army officer,
though he is best remembered for his role on the losing side in the
American War of Independence (1775-1781). Cornwallis entered
military service in 1757. Following the War of Independence, in
1786 he was appointed as first Governor General of India, where he
instituted extensive military and civil reforms, and he became Lord
Lieutenant of Ireland in 1797. These fascinating volumes, first
published in 1858, contain personal letters and official dispatches
written by Cornwallis during his long career. These letters vividly
describe the historical and political context of events in which
Cornwallis participated, and succinctly illustrate his character
and personal motivations. These volumes are reissued from the
second edition of 1859. Volume 2 contains correspondence from 1790
to 1798.
