Living under a better Home Government, and more regularly supported and supplied, the English prevailed. In sketching a part of the process of substituting foreign rule for anarchy, it has been my task to exhibit the main events which caused, or accompanied the preparation of the tabula rasa, upon which was to be traced the British Empire of India.
