Description

About The Book: This biography offers valuable insights into the life of Lord Lawrence, an English-born Ulsterman who achieved prominence as a British Imperial statesman. Serving as the Viceroy of India from 1864 to 1869, he implemented extensive economic, social, and political reforms in the Punjab, earning him the title of the "Saviour of the Punjab." Published in 1889 by his secretary, Sir Richard Temple, this well-crafted work delves into Lawrence's pivotal role during the First Sikh War, the Mutiny in Punjab, and his policy of cautious reform. It is highly recommended for history enthusiasts, covering various aspects such as Lawrence's early life, his time in the Delhi Territory and Trans-Sutlej States, his tenure as the Chief Commissioner of the Punjab, his experiences during the War of the Mutinies, his sojourn in England, and his governance of India. The biography concludes with an examination of Lawrence's activities from 1869 to 1879.
