Description:Excerpt from The Wellesley Papers, Vol. 1 of 2: The Life and Correspondence of Richard Colley Wellesley, Marques Wellesley 1760-1842, Governor-General of India 1797-1805, Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs 1809-1812, and Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland 1821-1827, 1833-1834 We shall see Wellesley, at the age of thirty seven, going out to India as govemor-general; a comparatively untried man, indeed, but one of high promise. We shall see something of the admirable work he did there. We shall see him return eight years later, embittered by the attacks made upon his policy. We shall see him, proud, stern, autocratic, convinced that his abilities were not fully appreciated, trying to force a quarrel on Canning on the supposition that that statesman Opposed his pretensions to the Office Of Prime Minister; and at another time at cross purposes with Melbourne. Having been Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs from 1809 until 1812, and in the latter year having endeavoured in vain to form a government, we shall see him expecting great posts in various administrations, yet never again holding any Office higher than that of Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, and actually accepting in 1830 and in 1835 posts in the Household rather than forego power altogether. A perusal of the correspondence will suggest that the reason for his exclusion was his open contempt for his colleagues and his dictatorial manner. When he was at the Foreign Office he did not deign to consult the Cabinet. Perhaps only with Brougham, many of whose letters are includedmy very sincere thanks. The Controller of His Majesty's Stationery Office has courteously allowed me to insert certain extracts from the Fortescue mss. For assistance of various kinds rendered me during the preparation Of this work I am indebted to the Rev. Edmond Warre, c.b., D.D., Provost of Eton; F. Warre Cornish, Esq., m.a., vice-provost Of Eton; the Rev. Lionel Ford, m.a., Headmaster of Harrow; William Foster, Esq., the Registrar and Super intendent of Records in the India O ice; the Rev. Henry W. Clark, D.D. J. R. W. Robinson, Esq.; J. E. W. Flood, Esq. And especially Arnold Winterbotham, Esq., who has kindly read the proofs Of this work. To the publisher, Herbert Jenkins, Esq., I must express my gratitude, for he has unreservedly placed his experience and time at my disposal, and has given me much sage counsel.
