Mountstuart Elphinstone (1779 1859) was appointed through family
influence to the East India Company, and arrived in India in 1796.
He learnt Persian, and developed an interest in Indian literature
and politics. After postings in Afghanistan and Poona he became
Governor in 1819 of the recently acquired territory that became
known as the Bombay Presidency. His biographer also had connections
to India. Thomas Edward Colebrooke (1813 1890) was the son of
British administrator and Sanskrit scholar Henry Thomas Colebrooke
(1765 1837), and although he lived in England and served as an M.
P., Colebrooke remained interested in colonial affairs. He had
written about Elphinstone's life in 1861 for the Journal of the
Royal Asiatic Society and subsequently expanded his work into these
two volumes, published in 1884. Volume 1 examines Elphinstone's
childhood, education and early career, covering the period up to
1817.
