The Anon, ymous author of this account of the Mahratta and Pindarree Campaign probably wrote his book under the pen name 'Carnaticus' because of his trenchant and unsparing criticism of his superior officers and their conduct of the campaigns. He was actually an Irish officer in the Madras Army named Marshal Clarke. Born in 1789, Clarke died at the early age of 44 in Peronne, northern France on his way home from India. His book - accompanied by beautifully engraved maps - was first published in 1820 and gives a clear and lengthy account of the operations in 1817, 1818, and 1819 of the armies of the East India Company - particularly the Army of the Deckan - under the orders of the Marquis of Hastings and the direct command of Lt.-Gen. Sir T. Hislop. This is a rare book which will be of compelling interest to all students of the early British Raj and the Indian Wars

Europe’s great colonial empires have long been a thing of the past, but the memories they generated are still all around us. They have left deep imprints on the different memory communities that were affected by the processes of establishing, running and dismantling these systems of imperial rule, and they are still vibrant and evocative today. This volume brings together a collection of innovative and fresh studies exploring different sites of imperial memory – those conceptual and real places where the memories of former colonial rulers and of former colonial subjects have crystallised into a lasting form. The volume explores how memory was built up, re-shaped and preserved across different empires, continents and centuries. It shows how it found concrete expression in stone and bronze, how it adhered to the stories that were told and retold about great individuals and how it was suppressed, denied and neglected.
