Excerpt from The Sepoy Revolt: Its Causes Its Consequences Were my book to be written over again, I should like to deepen the colours in which some pictures of Indian life have been painted but the experience which enables a man to write on the subject of Eastern government, tends to blunt his sympathies, and in some degree to injure his moral sense. Torture and lawlessness, and the perpetual suffering of millions, are so familiar to me, that I am conscious of not feeling as I ought to do when wrong is done to individuals and nations.
