His career spanned the American War of Independence, Irish Union, the French Revolutionary Wars, and the building of the Second British Empire in India-and he has long been associated with the unacceptable face of Britain's colonial past. In this vivid new biography, Richard Middleton shows that this portrait is far from accurate. Cornwallis emerges as a reformer who had deep empathy for those under his authority, and was clear about his obligation to govern justly. He sought to protect the population of Bengal with a constitution of written laws, insisted on Catholic emancipation in Ireland, and recognized the limitations of British power after the American war. Middleton reveals how Cornwallis's rewarding of merit, search for economy, and elimination of corruption helped improve the machinery of British government into the nineteenth century. 538 Mode of access: World Wide Web. 600 10 Cornwallis, Charles Cornwallis,|cMarquis,|d1738-1805 |1https://isni.org/isni/0000000073730910 650 0 Soldiers|zGreat Britain|vBiography. 650 0 Generals|zGreat Britain|vBiography. 650 0 Governors general|zIndia|vBiography. 650 0 Statesmen|zGreat Britain|vBiography. 651 0 Great Britain|xHistory|yGeorge III, 1760-1820. 651 0 Great Britain|xColonies|xAdministration. 700 1 Grindell, Shaun. 710 2 hoopla digital. 856 40 |uhttps://www.hoopladigital.com/title/ 14738014?utm_source=MARC|zInstantly available on hoopla. 856 42 |zCover image|uhttps://d2snwnmzyr8jue.cloudfront.net/ ttm_9798765006412_180.jpeg
