The Trial of Jesus: From a Lawyer's Standpoint. E-book. Formato PDF Walter M. Chandler   -  Forgotten Books, 2017  - 

The trial Of Warren Hastings in the hall Of William Rufus has been immortalized by Lord Macaulay. This trial is a virtual reproduction in English history Of the ancient Roman trial Of Verres. England is sub stituted for Rome; Sicily becomes India; Hastings takes the place Of Verres; and Burke is the orator in stead Of Cicero. The indictments are identical: Mal administration in the government of a province. In the impeachment of Hastings, England served notice upon her colonial governors and made proclamation to the world that English conquest was not intended to despoil and enslave, but was designed to carry to the inhabitants of distant lands her language, her litera ture, and her laws. This message to humanity was framed but not inspired by England. It was prompted by the success of the American Revolution, in which Washington and his Continentals had established the immortal principle, that the consent of the governed is the true source Of all just powers of government.
