Excerpt from Selections From the State Papers of the Governors-General of India, Vol. 2

I had fixed upon the beginning of last year for my departure to England. This event determined me to postpone it to another season; and I may be allowed on such an occasion to appeal for the evidence, and the strongest evidence that could be produced, of the recti tude of my motive, even to an argument of private relation to my own interest and feelings, but imme diately connected with the resolution I had taken; since it compelled me to submit to a privation of all domestic society, and to an expence which must be unavoidably repeated whenever I should prosecute the design of my own departure to England, and which my fortune could ill afford.

Excerpt from Selections From the State Papers of the Governors-General of India, Vol. 2

The following sheets were written at sen, during my passage from India to England. When I began them I had 110 other design than to preserve and concentrate all the miscellaneous transactions of the three last months of my administration, while they were yet recent in my remembrance.

In the course of this Review, I was imperceptibly led to take in a larger scope, as 1 have stated in the work itself; and it has acquired such 11 degree of importance in the judgement of those who have perused it, (authorities of which I should speak with the highest veneration on any occasion, but one which like the present could not but reflect a praise 011 myself;) that I have been induced to cause a few printed copies to be struck off, for the private information of such persons as from their official situations are intitled to the knowledge which they may be thought to contain.
