Book excerpt: Excerpt from Original Minutes of the Governor-General and Council of Fort William on the Settlement and Collection of the Revenues of Bengal: With a Plan of Settlement, Recommended to the Court of Directors in January, 1776 While the prefent wars continue, it is in vain to think of relieving, the country by new oeconomical arrangements, however necell'ary to its profperity; nor is this a period, at which internal innovations ofany kind fliould be attempted. They mufl always be a alarming to a people, who have never experienced relief, but generally an increafe of their griev anecs from every change of fyfiem hitherto adopted by their rulers. They require quiet times, when Government may give its undivided at tention to the bufinefs, and when the people have no external afiifiance to refort to or expect - Whenever peace {hall be ref'tored, it is pofiible and not more than pofiible, that, under a mild and prudent government, Bengal may gradually recover from the impoverifhed (late, towards which it has long. Been declining. Under a European Government, Bengal cannotflourzflz. The'utmofi that {hould be attempted, becaufe it is the utmol't that can be done, is to palliate the effects, and to retard the progrefs ofevils, which no human wifdom can perfectly remove.
