About the Book

Digby was a Liberal who saw the famine in India of 1876–1878 first-hand and reviled the laissez-faire policies of the Famine Commission. Whilst preparations were being made for the proclamation of Her Majesty the Queen of Great Britain as Empress of India, and whilst the ceremonies were actually in progress, 65,000 died of starvation and the diseases caused by insufficient nourishment, in the Madras Presidency alone. It was complained, however, that sufficient information was not available regarding the actual state of things in Madras; it was further not concealed that a good deal of dissatisfaction was felt with the manner in which the disaster had so far been grappled with in the Southern Presidency. The death-rate in the Madras districts from October to December had increased greatly, as the returns from the various distressed districts testified. About The Author : William Digby (1849 –1904) was a British author, journalist and humanitarian. He did his apprenticeship with the Isle of Ely and Wisbech Advertiser. He was employed at the Sussex Advertiser from 1864 to 1871. William Digby moved to the Indian subcontinent in 1871 and worked as a sub-editor in The Ceylon Observer and as the editor of The Madras Times in 1877. He also worked as the editor of the Liverpool and Southport Daily News in 1880 and that of the Plymouth Daily Western Mercury in 1879. He served as senior partner of William Hutchinson and Company in 1887.While working in India, he witnessed the Great Famine of 1876–78 and involved himself in relief works. He served as the Honorary Secretary of the Executive Committee of the Famine Relief Fund. He opposed the laissez faire famine relief policies of the Famine Commissioner, Sir Richard Temple argued for more Government aid in mitigating the effects of famine. In 1878 he wrote an extensive book about the famine titled The Famine Campaign in Southern India.Vol I and Vol II. For his contribution to the famine relief works, he was mad
