Bombay In The Days Of George IV is a historical memoir written by Sir Edward West, who served as the Chief Justice of the King's Court during its conflict with the East India Company. The book is edited by Frederic Dawtrey Drewitt and provides a fascinating insight into the political and social landscape of Bombay during the reign of George IV. Through West's personal recollections and observations, readers are transported to a time of great change and upheaval in India, as the British Empire extended its influence and power over the subcontinent. The book covers a range of topics, including the legal system, the role of the East India Company, and the complex relationships between the British and Indian communities. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of colonial India, and provides a unique perspective on the challenges and opportunities faced by the British during this period.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
