About this Item

Three very scarce volumes of speeches from Charles Hardinge, during his time as Viceroy of India. Signed by the author. Three delightfully bound volumes of the speeches from Charles Hardinge, 1st Baron Hardinge of Penshurst between 1910 and 1916, given during his tenure as Viceroy and Governor-General of India. Signed to to volume I 'Sir Reginald Craddock from Hardinge, 1916'. Reginald Craddock was a British government and colonial official who served as the governor of Burma and chairman of the Indian constitutional reforms committee. He was therefore in a similar line of work to the orator of these speeches, and is likely to have had some level of acquaintanceship.Hardinge's time as Viceroy was successful. Due to improved colonial relationships, during WWI Britain was able to deploy nearly all of the British troops in India as well as much of the British Indian Army to more strategically useful areas. In full morocco bindings, with gilt detailing. Some rubbing to spine tails of volume I and II. Signed to verso of front endpaper of volume I. Internally, firmly bound. Pages clean and bright.
