Sir Henry Bartle Edward Frere (1815 84) was recognised as one of
the ablest colonial administrators of his generation. His service
in British India, where he rose to serve on the Supreme Council,
was distinguished by his promotion of municipal institutions and
his inclusion of the Indian people. In this respect he was ahead of
his time. At the outbreak of the Indian Rebellion of 1857, his
actions helped limit the spread of the uprising. As Governor of the
Cape Colony in South Africa he was directed to confederate the
disparate territories there into a single nation, but this mission
was marred by his unilateral decision to wage war on the Zulus. In
1894, John Martineau (1834 1910) published this sympathetic
two-volume biography. Volume 2 covers Frere's successful attempt to
halt the Zanzibar slave trade as well as his service in South
Africa, from which he returned home in disgrace.
