Almost the last pubhc act of Hastings was to hold a grand review of the Bengal Army, and to present swords of honour to the officers, and medals and money to the soldiers, British and Indian. Before leaving India for good, he wrote farewell letters to all the chiefs and princes connected with his Government, He received also, as usual with a departing ruler, a number of farewell addresses.
Those that he appreciated most, perhaps, were the addresses that came to him, from Europeans and Indians a...like, long after his retirement to his native country, and 'long after their recipient ', as one of his biographers writes, ' had ceased to hold power, or the prospect of power, all genuine, spontaneous, and relevant.' In February, 1785, Hastings left India for good, after a connexion with the country that had practically lasted for 36 years.
He seems to have had some prescience of the fate that was to befall him soon after his arrival in England* It is recorded that on the voyage home he wrote an apologia WARREN HASTINGS 8l for his administration, in a pamphlet entitled A Bevieiv of the State of Bengal.
