Elphinston
1779‐1859
Governor of Bombay under the British East India Company. During his term (1819-27), he worked hard to improve the taxation, administration, and education systems of the Bombay Precinct. He is particularly known for introducing the Rayyatwari system, following on from the Madras Precinct. He also distinguished himself in the Third Maratha War. He was one of the leading East India Company leaders of the time, along with C.T. Metcalfe, T. Munro, W. Hastings, and A. Wellesley, and his book A History of India (1841) is considered a masterpiece.
