Publisher's Synopsis

""A Letter To Sir Charles Forbes: On The Suppression Of Public Discussion In India"" is a book written by James Silk Buckingham in 1824. It addresses the issue of the suppression of public discussion in India during the British colonial rule.

He also discusses the role of the press in promoting public discussion and the need for a free press in India. The book was written in the form of a letter to Sir Charles Forbes, a member of the British Parliament, who was known for his support of Indian causes. The book is an important historical document that sheds light on the political and social conditions in India during the colonial period, and the struggle for freedom of speech and expression.And The Banishment, Without Trial, Of Two British Editors From That Country, By The Acting Governor General, Mr. Adam.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
