Review of Marshman’s History of British India and Rumbold’s Controversy
The piece assesses Mr. Marshman’s historical treatment of Sir Thomas Rumbold and India’s early English chapter. It lauds Marshman for impartiality and accuracy, notes corrections from new papers, and endorses his broad narrative from 1636 Bengal to 1857 while praising his clarity, restraint, and moral stance.
