Not illustrated. 1905 edition. Excerpt: ... 1905 BUDGET SPEECH' The following is the speech made by His Excellency Lord Curzon in the course of the debate on the Budget Statements in March 1905 in the Supreme Legislative council: --T should like to congratulate my Hon'ble colleague Mr. Baker upon the reception accorded to his first Budget. He has assumed charge of hfs important office in a year which is the culminating point, up to date, of the process of financial recovery that has been proceeding uninterruptedly for the past six years andwhose origin may be traced back still further to the foresight and prudence of Sir David Barhour and Lord Lansdowne six years earlier. A CYCLE OF PROSPERITY. I do not mean to say that a point has been reached from which ve shall now decline. There is not, so far as I can see, the slightest ground for anticipating any such consequence. But the closer budgeting that has been employed in drawing up the estimates of revenue and expenditure for the next year, the narrower margins that have been left, and the heavy and increasing calls that we have accepted for the ensuing years in carrying out our gVeat measures of administrative reform and Military reorganisation, render it unlikely that my Hon'ble friend will always be able'to count upon similar surpluses even if an unlucky ciiange of wind does not drive him sooner or later into the financial doldrums. Of course, the most satisfactory feature of the Budget has been that Mr. Baker has been able at one and the same time, to provide the means for a great increase in administrative outlay and for a reduction in the burdens of the people.. That is the dream of the fortunate financier Which all cherislj but few realise. I remember saying in the.Budget debate a year ago that it would perhaps be too much...

Book Description
This book is an examination of the concept of ‘character’ as a moral marker in the later nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Its main purpose is to investigate how the ‘character talk’ that helped to shape elite Britons’ sense of themselves was used at this time to convince audiences, both in Britain and in the places they had conquered, that empire could be morally as well as materially justified and was a great force for good in the world. A small group of radical thinkers questioned many of the arguments of the imperialists but found it difficult to escape entirely from the sense of moral superiority that marked the latter’s language.

Book Description
This book takes a closer look at colonial despotism in early nineteenth-century India and argues that it resulted from Indians’ forum shopping, the legal practice which resulted in jurisdictional jockeying between an executive, the East India Company, and a judiciary, the King’s Court. Focusing on the collisions that took place in Bombay during the 1820s, the book analyses how Indians of various descriptions—peasants, revenue defaulters, government employees, merchants, chiefs, and princes—used the court to challenge the government (and vice versa) and demonstrates the mechanism through which the lawcourt hindered the government’s indirect rule, which relied on local Indian rulers in newly conquered territories. The author concludes that existing political anxiety justified the East India Company’s attempt to curtail the power of the court and strengthen their own power to intervene in emergencies through the renewal of the company’s charter in 1834. An insightful read for those researching Indian history and judicial politics, this book engages with an understudied period of British rule in India, where the royal courts emerged as sites of conflict between the East India Company and a variety of Indian powers.
