Description: The author makes it clear in the preface that this text, while discussing the Governor-Generalship of Lord Cornwallis from 1786-93, it does not focus on what Cornwallis was best known for - the Permanent Settlement System. The preface also presents a brief background of his tenure in India and how it helped those who succeeded. Divided into ten chapters, this work talks about the administrative and judicial reforms under Cornwallis, the Cornwallis Code of 1793 etc. and the ‘work of Sir William Jones’. The appendix section contains details of the Company’s trade during this time and the beginnings of Penang.
