Philip Meadows Taylor has often been called the last of the Adventurers. This autobiography is a surprisingly well written record of the wanderer, so frequent in English life since Plassey, who ‘runs away early to the tropics and is at home with the palms and the banyans’. Amazing things are revealed in this biography. Completed in 1874 it depended not only on an old man’s uncertain recollections, but on the mass of corres­pondences with his father during the forty years that he lived in India. He had the liveliest affection for the people of India and treated men and women of all ranks with due respect, something wanting in most British officers.

Philip Meadows Taylor

Philip Meadows Taylor was a British colonial official and author, born in 1808, best known for his novel Confessions of a Thug (1839). The book is a fictionalized account of the Thuggee cult in India, notorious for their ritualistic murders. Taylor's detailed portrayal of the Thugs and their criminal activities helped raise awareness of the issue during British rule. His works often reflect his deep engagement with Indian culture and history, making him an important figure in 19th-century British literature.
