Lord Curzon's Farewell to India is a historical book written by George Nathaniel Curzon, the Viceroy of India from 1899 to 1905. The book was published in 1907 and is a reflection of Curzon's experiences and observations during his tenure as the Viceroy of India. The book is divided into two parts. The first part is a collection of speeches and addresses that Curzon gave during his farewell tour of India. In these speeches, he talks about his achievements as the Viceroy and his vision for India's future. He also reflects on the challenges that India faced during his tenure, such as the plague epidemic and the partition of Bengal. The second part of the book is a collection of essays that Curzon wrote after his return to England. These essays cover a range of topics related to India, including its history, culture, and politics. Curzon also reflects on his personal experiences in India and the impact that his time there had on him. Overall, Lord Curzon's Farewell to India is an important historical document that provides insight into the British Raj and the attitudes of British officials towards India during the colonial period. It is also a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history and culture of India.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Later viceroy of India, George Curzon (1859-1925) published this highly regarded two-volume work on Persia in 1892, following his travels in the country. Convinced of the political importance of this region as a buffer against Russian influence, Curzon gives an overview of Persian history, society, geography and politics.

Following his election to Parliament and extensive travels through Asia, George Nathaniel Curzon (1859-1925) published in 1894 this consideration of the present state of Japan, Korea and China within a changing international landscape. Later viceroy of India, Curzon was fascinated by the rich cultural heritage of the Far East, yet he remained a staunch supporter of British imperialism. He explains that the book's purpose is to delve deeper into political, social and economic conditions, rather than present a travel narrative of 'temples, tea-houses and bric-a-brac'. After devoting a substantial section to each country, Curzon closes with 'The Prospect', exploring what he envisages for the future of the whole region. The favourable reception of this title and his 1892 work, Persia and the Persian Question (also reissued in the Cambridge Library Collection), highlighted Curzon's diligently acquired knowledge of Asian affairs and how they affected Britain's imperial interests.
