    John Laird Mair Lawrence (1811-1879) was an Irish-born prominent British pro-consul and served as Viceroy of India from 1864 to 1869. Sir Richard Temple, his secretary, published this biography in 1889, covering Lawrence’s role during the First Sikh War, the Mutiny in the Punjab, and his policy of cautious reform.
