The historian George W. Forrest (1846 1926) pays tribute to the
legacy of Mountstuart Elphinstone (1779 1859) by bringing his
writings together in this 1884 publication, which begins with a
account of Elphinstone's life and the historical events connected
with his career, providing important background information and
context for the reader. Forrest provides a fascinating insight into
Elphinstone's opinions on some of the leading questions connected
with the government of British India. The statesman played a
pivotal role in founding the system of state education in India,
strongly supporting native education and the local administration
of laws. As Forrest describes, he brought 'a liberal and highly
cultivated mind' to discussions of Indian problems, and he saw the
British task in India as equipping Indians for self-government as
quickly as possible. This collection documents his challenges and
achievements, and is an important historical record of a turning
point in Indian history.
