The Life of T. T. Thomason is a biographical work written by John Sargent and published in 1834. The book chronicles the life of Thomas Fanshawe Middleton Thomason, a prominent British civil servant and colonial administrator in India during the early 19th century. Thomason was born in 1774 and educated at Cambridge before embarking on a career in the East India Company. He rose through the ranks to become a member of the Bengal Council and played a key role in the development of British rule in India.
