The book is a critical analysis of the actions of the British government and its ministers towards the East India Company and its governor-general, Warren Hastings.Scott argues that the British government's interference in the affairs of the East India Company, particularly in the appointment and removal of its officials, has had a negative impact on the company's operations in India. He also criticizes the government's handling of the trial of Warren Hastings, who was accused of corruption and abuse of power during his tenure as governor-general.Scott's book is an important historical document as it sheds light on the political and economic situation in India during the late 18th century.
