Because of the interest of a mainline publisher, there will be a delay in bringing this book to print. Thank you for your patience.
The messages the book contains are valuable: throwing new light on
what happened in the last few years leading up to the Impeachment of Warren
Hastings; demonstrating how embedded in extraneous East India Company affairs
was the whole arraignment against him.
The book also brings to wider notice part of the illustrious career of
Laurence Sulivan, leading, hopefully to a wish among readers for greater
knowledge of what he achieved and what he stood for. In particular to make today's
generation aware of his desire for non-involvement in land ownership in India;
and of his non-racial approach to the EIC's affairs in the sub-continent. All
that he worked for in this respect was destroyed by Clive's assumption of the
Diwani after Sulivan was defeated by Clive and his associates in the Court of Directors at India House in
Leadenhall Street,London.
