Book Description
Excerpt from The History of General Sir Charles Napier's Conquest of ScindeIn Cephalonia, where he long governed, his true tendencies were developed. For there he furrowed the lofty mountains with roads, in skilful contrivance equal, in greatness scarcely inferior to that of Mount Cenis. There he improved and adorned the harbour with fine quays, and light-houses of beautiful construction, created fisheries, and advanced agri culture. There he quelled feudal oppression, reformed the law courts, upheld justice, and honestly gained the affection of the labouring people by unceasing exertions, always evinc ing that benignity of purpose which renders the labours of peace glorious.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Napier's Conquest of Scinde was.published, an account of his after administration in that country was promised as a sequel; hence the present work, whichincludes also his campaign against the hillmen of Cutchee.

As the History of the Conquest was, to the British people, because from the people only can support be looked for against the um ceasing efforts made to suppress the just claims of a victorious general, 'and successful administrator, to the applause of his countrymen. But to obtain that support ingenuously, the man's thoughts as well as his actions should be made known'with all integrity - wherefore his opinions of government generally, of particular systems, and his views and feelings on every important occasion, have been, where the necessity of compression would admit, recorded in his own words.

Book Description
Peccavi' - the Latin for 'I have sinned' - was the punning one-word telegram with which General Sir Charles Napier announced to the world his 1843 capture of Scinde (or Sind). Napier, a much wounded 61-year-old veteran of the Peninsula War, was placed in charge of the turbulent province, whose ruling Emirs, encouraged by British reverses in nearby Afghanistan, rose against Britain's power. Napier's forces routed the Emirs at the battles of Meanee and Hyderabad and the region became a key part of British India, making Napier into a popular Victorian hero. Unsurprisingly, Sir William Napier, the author of this work, is an uncritical admirer of his brother and fellow General, and is unsparing in his critique of those he perceives as Charles Napier's British enemies in the bureaucratic turf wars of the Raj. With 12 appendices and several endpaper maps.
