Neville Thompson

4.9/5 (32921 ratings)

Description:It is extraordinary that so little has been written, and consequently so little is known about the 3rd Earl Bathurst, a man who arguably had more influence over the early establishment of the British Empire than any other single individual, not least as most of the relevant Family papers have been long available to scholars. At long last these have been thoroughly researched by Professor Neville Thompson and Bathurst can be seen in his true perspective. His correspondence throws much new light on the momentous years between 1807 and 1827 during which time he was continually at the hub of events. His relationships with the Prince Regent and the Duke of Wellington are particularly revealing. But it is the part he played in laying the foundations of the fledgling British Empire that his importance really rests; as demonstrated by the numerous places around the world which bear his name. Professor Thompson has written an absorbing and long overdue biography of a great and good statesman whose true contribution and influence have been woefully unacknowledged for too long.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
