Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Life and Correspondence of Henry St. George Tucker: Late Accountant-General of Bengal and Chairman of the East India Company
I have but one word more to say, personal to my self. On looking over the sheets of this work, it appears to me that there is, in some parts, what may seem to be a party bias - in other words, a dis position to speak more slightingly of the acts of the old Whig party than those of their opponents. As the supposition that I have written at all under political in?uence would, very properly, invalidate my testimony, I think it right to say, that ever since I was a boy my sympathies have been all with the Whigs, and that if this has not appeared in the writings which bear my name, it is because I have ever held that India is of no Party, and esteemed the claims of Historical Truth paramount over all considerations of Party or of Person.
