Published in 1890, this biography offers a detailed portrait of Charles Cornwallis, a British general who played a key role in the American Revolutionary War and later served as Governor-General of India. Walter Scott Seton-Karr draws on archival research and contemporary accounts to bring Cornwallis to life, exploring his military career, political controversies, and personal life. While The Marquess Cornwallis may appeal primarily to history buffs, it is also a valuable resource for anyone interested in the complex workings of power and politics during the 18th and 19th centuries.
