Books by John Bastin

Previously unpublished private letters between Stamford Raffles and Lord Hastings (the Governor-General of India).

This pair of elegant, slip-cased volumes are devoted to Raffles' second wife, Sophia (1786-1858), who wrote the first published account of her husband's life and achievements, and his lesser-known but equally, if not more intriguing, first wife, Olivia (1771-1814).
