What is Administration Of Justice about?

Appointed through family influence to the East India Company, Mountstuart Elphinstone arrived on the subcontinent in 1796, quickly learning Persian & developing an interest in Indian civilisation. After postings in Benares, Afghanistan & Poona, he became governor in 1819 of the recently acquired territory that became known as the Bombay Presidency, where he remained until his resignation in 1827. On his return to England, he devoted much of his time to writing & was a founder member of the Royal Geographical Society. This two-volume history, based on a range of Indian sources & first published in 1841, is infused with his lifelong understanding of Indian culture, science & philosophy. A scholarly refutation of James Mill's History, it was the most popular work of its kind among the early Victorian public. Volume 1 contains a topographical introduction & covers the history of the Indian subcontinent to the 13th century
