A Letter to Sir James Davidson Gordon and a Letter to H. M. Durand is a collection of two letters written by Bell Evans in 1882. The first letter is addressed to Sir James Davidson Gordon, a Scottish civil servant and politician, and discusses the issue of land tenure in India. Evans argues that the current system of land ownership in India is unjust and calls for reforms to ensure that the land is distributed fairly among the people.The second letter is addressed to H. M. Durand, a British diplomat who served as the Foreign Secretary of India. In this letter, Evans discusses the issue of education in India and argues that the British government has not done enough to promote education among the Indian people. He calls for greater investment in education and the establishment of more schools and colleges to provide opportunities for the Indian people to improve their lives.Overall, A Letter to Sir James Davidson Gordon and a Letter to H. M. Durand provides a fascinating insight into the political and social issues of colonial India and the perspectives of British intellectuals on these issues. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of India and the British Empire.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
