Description: The Right Honourable Charles John, Earl Canning (1812-1862), was the last governor general appointed before the rule of the East India Company passed to the British crown in 1858, whereupon he became India's first viceroy. One of the chief factors precipitating this transfer of power was the 'Indian Mutiny'. The impact of this uprising, which began in May 1857 and ended in June of the following year, and the policies adopted in response are among the many subjects comprehensively covered at both the national and provincial level in this collection of civil, military and private papers.
Notes: Accompanied by printed reel guides.
