Synopsis

Earl Canning: Rulers of India is a historical biography written by Henry Stewart Cunningham. The book delves into the life and reign of Charles John Canning, the first Earl Canning, who served as the Governor-General of India from 1856 to 1862. The book provides a comprehensive account of Canning's life, from his childhood and education to his political career and his role in India's history. It explores his efforts to maintain peace and stability in India during a time of great political upheaval, including the Indian Rebellion of 1857. The author also delves into Canning's personal life, including his marriage to Charlotte Stuart, his relationships with other prominent figures of the time, and his eventual death in 1862. Through extensive research and analysis, Cunningham paints a vivid picture of Canning's life and legacy, offering readers a unique perspective on one of India's most important historical figures. The book is a must-read for anyone interested in India's history, as well as those interested in the lives of prominent political figures.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Earl Granville, who was good enough to give me some notes of his recollections of Lord Canning searly life, and to criticise the biographical portion of the work :to Mr. Lewin Bowring, C.S.I., who kindly placed at my disposal the Diary which he kept while he was Private Secretary to Lord Canning: to General Charles Stuart, who allowed me the use of his Journal kept during his term of office as Military Secretary: and to Lady Lawrence for the perusal of an interesting corre is spondence between Lord Canning and Lord Lawrence. VT he elaborate history of the Indian Mutiny, begun by Sir John Kaye, and completed by Colonel Malleson, and the latter authors shorter and more recent work on the same subject, are authorities which I have frequently consulted and to which I am largely indebted.
