Omschrijving

Lord Curzon's Farewell to India is a book written by George Nathaniel Curzon, a British statesman who served as Viceroy of India from 1899 to 1905. The book is essentially a collection of speeches and writings that Curzon delivered during his time as Viceroy, as well as his farewell address to the Indian people upon leaving the country in 1905. The book provides a comprehensive insight into the political, social and economic conditions prevailing in India during the early 20th century, and Curzon's observations and opinions on various issues such as Indian nationalism, the Indian Army, the administration of justice, and the role of the British in India. Curzon's farewell address, which is included in the book, is particularly noteworthy as it is considered to be one of the most eloquent and poignant speeches ever delivered by a British Viceroy in India. In it, Curzon expresses his deep affection and admiration for the Indian people, while also acknowledging the challenges and difficulties that they faced under British rule. Overall, Lord Curzon's Farewell to India is an important historical document that sheds light on the complex relationship between Britain and India during the colonial period, and provides valuable insights into the mindset and policies of one of the most influential British statesmen of the time.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
