Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Robert Ainsleigh, Vol. 2 of 3: By the Author of Lady Audley's Secret
The years which elapsed between the autumn Of 1753 and the summer Of '56 were years Of compara tive tranquillity; and before that memorable summer came, we had seen the reduction Of French power in the East by means Of French folly, cowardice, and ignorance in the West. Enemy to my country though he was, false as he had Shown himself in his violation of the treaty Of Madras, I cannot withhold my pity from that daring and ambitious statesman, Joseph Francis Dupleix, when I consider the ignoble treatment he received from the government he had served so well.
