Sir Charles Metcalfe

Sir Charles Metcalfe: Defended Against The Attacks Of His Late Counselors (1844) is a book written by Egerton Ryerson. The book is a defense of Sir Charles Metcalfe, who was the Governor-General of British India from 1835 to 1836. During his tenure, Metcalfe faced a number of challenges from his counselors, who were unhappy with his policies and decisions. The book provides a detailed account of the events that led to the conflict between Metcalfe and his counselors, as well as the arguments put forth by both sides. Ryerson argues that Metcalfe was unfairly criticized and that his actions were in the best interests of British India. The book is a valuable source of information for anyone interested in the history of British India and the challenges faced by its governors.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
