A View of the Rise, Progress, and Present State of the English Government in Bengal, written by Harry Verelst and originally published in 1772, offers a detailed account of the British administration in Bengal during a crucial period of its development. This work includes a robust defense of the East India Company's actions and policies under Verelst's governorship, addressing criticisms leveled by figures like Mr. Bolts and other contemporary writers.
Verelst provides insights into the complexities of governing a vast and diverse region, detailing the challenges and strategies employed by the British to establish and maintain control. This book is an invaluable resource for understanding the early stages of British colonial rule in India, offering a perspective from a key participant in the events. It remains relevant for scholars and readers interested in colonial history, political science, and the history of British India.
