Excerpt from A Vindication of Warren HastingsSome of these proofs have already been given to the public (notably by Sir John Strachey in his admirable volume on the Rohilla Warl), but in disconnected form, and in some cases imperfectly. A full light has been thrown on the whole history of the case by the labours of Mr. Forrest, and there is no excuse now for evading the discussion of any part of the subject.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.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
