Book Description
Excerpt from Warren Hastings Perhaps no man of undisputed genius ever inherited less, in mind or money, from his parents, or owed them fewer obligations of any kind. It is not possible to find in Pynaston Hastings any trace of the char acter or intellectual qualities of his son; the mother died in child-birth, while the father seems to have abandoned him very soon afterwards; for in a petition presented to the Lord Chancellor by their uncle in 1733, on behalf of Warren Hastings and his sister Anne, it is said that their father had Withdrawn himself to some distant place, leaving the children wholly unprovided for. The boy was at first placed by the grandfather at a charity school; but at the age of twelve he had the good luck to be sent by his uncle, who had taken charge of him, to Westminster. The system and mode of life at the large public schools of England, with all their grave deficiencies in regard to methodical teaching, have been usually good for the development of character and scholarship in boys of real intellectual ability. Their innate tastes and aptitudes, which need only free play and example, find room and stimulus, where the aver age schoolboy only discovers that loose discipline means liberty to be idle. Hastings worked hard, was good on the river, and was elected to a king's scholarship in the year 1747, as the names engraved on the wall of his dormitory still testify. But his uncle died, and he was made over to the care of a distant connection, who happened to be a director of the East India Company, and who insisted, against the remonstrance of the West minster head-master, that Hastings should give up his high hopes of distinction at a university, and should learn accounts from Mr. Smith of Christ's Hospital.

Excerpt from A Vindication of Warren Hastings This book, professedly founded on the volumes above referred to, deals with six principal heads of accusation made by various speakers and writers, and it is confidently submitted that in no single case can a verdict of guilty be maintained, in the face of present knowledge, against the 'great Accused If this be so, it is surely time that the truth should be openly and generously acknowledged, and the injustice of past generations be done away.

Book Description
Excerpt from Warren Hastings: An Essay I always prophesied his greatness, from the first moment I saw him, then a very young and unknown man. There are no limits to his knowledge, on small subjects as well as great. He is like a book in breeches. - Sydney Smith. His learning is prodigious; and perhaps the chief defects Of his composition arise from the exuberant riches of the stores from which they are drawn. When warmed in his subject, he is thoroughly in earnest, and his language, in consequence, goes direct to the heart. Alison.

Excerpt from The Letters of Warren Hastings to His Wife: Transcribed in Full From the Originals in the British Museum Further experience has induced the conclusion that the same limitation of knowledge exists widely in a more surprising quarter. We know the verdict, writes, with unconscious mendacity, a reviewer in a great daily, the name of which it were charity to withhold, and in the main nothing yet adduced has ever availed to shake the opinion of the majority in its justice. Certainly not. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
