This volume contains speeches from the managers and counsel in the trial of Warren Hastings, the first Governor-General of Bengal. Hastings was impeached in 1787 on charges of corruption and abuse of power during his time in India. The trial, which lasted for seven years, became a major political event in Britain, involving prominent figures such as Edmund Burke and Charles James Fox. This volume offers insights into the arguments presented against Hastings, shedding light on the complexities of British colonial rule in India and the political climate of the late 18th century. The speeches provide a detailed account of the accusations leveled against Hastings and the evidence presented to support them. This historical record remains essential for scholars of British history, Indian history, and legal history.
