Excerpt from The Mysore Reversion: An Exceptional Case

Since the first edition of the Mysore Reversion was published in January 1865, two events, calculated to affect materially the ultimate settlement in this matter, have occurred, - thc Raj ah's formal and public adoption of a son on the 18th June, 1865 and the appearance of the Papers Relating to Mysore, moved for by Sir Henry Rawlinson in the House of Commons, on the 27th February, 1866.

It may be gathered, as well from the contents of the blue-book as from general conversation, that there are four 'current objections to the restoration of a Native Government in Mysore. (1) The reversionary right of the Paramount Power to take that country by lapse (2) the duty of the Paramount Power to secure a good administration for the People; (3) the great weight and authority of those who recommend the annexation; and (4) the necessity of our Government maintaining at all hazards the consistency and inflexibility of its own well-considered decisions. In the following pages I have attempted to dispose of the two first objections. A few words must be said here as to the two last.
