Lord Wellesley (or Earl of Mornington) was appointed Governor-General of India on the announcement of Lord Cornwallis’s resignation. Gifted with strong will, he possessed the faculty of quick decision; and intelligence which enabled him to arrive, almost by intuition, at the point of question, however involved, or however, hidden by oriental phrases. He had many qualities which made him suitable for the post. As the name of the book suggests, we have gathered here very authoritative information on Lord Wellesley and his policy of expansion in India.
