First edition account by Sir William Napier (1785-1860) of his brother Sir Charles Napier's conquest and administration of Scinde (Sindh). The conquest had been viewed as over-reach particularly by the British Resident in Sindh, Sir James Outram, and by the later Governor General in India, Lord Dalhousie. The Board of Directors of the East India Company officially condemned the war as "uncalled-for, impolitic, and unjust." Sir William's account attempts to re-cast his brother as a conquering hero and pointed to Sir Charles' reforming zeal in abolishing the slave trade and his defense of women and children - particularly in his prohibition of sati. The twenty appendices republish correspondence and extracts in defense of Napier, including, as Appendix XIV, correspondence from Napier to Lord Dalhousie "relative to Lieutenant-Colonel Outram's published slanders".…
