A coherent sammelband of five concurrently published pamphlets relating to the governance of India by philosopher and economist John Stuart Mill (1806-1873).
In 1856, Mill was promoted to the chief examinership at the East India Company. Following the Indian Mutiny, Mill devoted his efforts to defending the Company's administrative record - which he argued had been greatly beneficial to India - and to countering proposals for a transfer to direct rule from the British government, the primary concern of the present pamphlets.
