Blue Cloth. Condition: VERY GOOD ( AVERAGE). Dust Jacket Condition: VERY GOOD (AVERAGE). 1968 New Impression of 1939 1st Edition.Sir Thomas Maitland, was one of the most important figures in the formative period of the colonial administrative service during and immediately after the Napoleonic wars. After a distinguished military career, he had two long periods of office in Ceylon, from 1805 to 1811, and from 1813 until his death death in 1824 he acted as governor of Malta, and then of the Ionian Islands, where he made a lasting reputation for his vigour and honesty, as well as for his autocratic methods of administration, which brought him to be popularly regarded as a tyrant. This work, first published in 1939, describes many of the more colorful episodes in his career, while, in its account of his role as governor, it makes a valuable contribution to the study of early colonial history. "King Tom" Maitland was perhaps the ablest, and certainly the most picturesque of British Proconsuls in the Napoleonic age, and a well-documented survey of his activities in the Far East and the Mediterranean was needed for a better understanding of imperial expansion in that period.
