A Letter Addressed To Lord Hobart: His Majesty�������s Late Principal Secretary Of State For The Colonial Department is a historical document written by Thomas Picton in 1804. The book is a letter addressed to Lord Hobart, the former principal secretary of state for the colonial department, in which Picton defends himself against accusations of cruelty and misconduct during his time as governor of Trinidad. Picton was accused of ordering the torture of a free mulatto woman named Louisa Calder������n, who was suspected of being involved in a plot to overthrow him. He was also accused of other acts of cruelty and mismanagement during his time as governor. In the letter, Picton argues that he was acting within his legal rights and that he was justified in taking extreme measures to maintain order and prevent rebellion. The book provides a fascinating insight into the colonial administration of the British Empire in the early 19th century, as well as the attitudes towards race and slavery that prevailed at the time. It also sheds light on the controversial figure of Thomas Picton, who was both praised and reviled for his actions in Trinidad. Overall, A Letter Addressed To Lord Hobart is an important historical document that provides a valuable perspective on the colonial era and the complex issues of race, power, and governance that defined it.With A Preface By Robert Shelton.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
