To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
When he died in 1765, the ruinous system of puppet Nawabs came practically to an end; for in that year Lord Clive, who had returned to India, assumed, under a grant from the Delhi emperor, direct adminis- tration of the revenue of the three provinces of Bengal, Bihar, and Orissa, an office that was entitled the Di- wani. The Diwan had been originally the controller- general on behalf of the imperial treasury in each prov- ince, with supreme authority over all public expendi- ture; so that the i...nvestiture of the Company with this office added the power of the purse to the power of the sword, and rendered them directly and regularly re- sponsible for the most important departments of gov- ernment. 188 -THE SITUATION IN BENGAL We must now turn from internal affairs to the for- eign relations of the East India Company and the gen- eral aspect of Indian politics. The Vizir of Oudh, when Mir Kasim took refuge with him, had in his camp the titular emperor of Delhi; and he thought the oppor- tunity favourable for an expedition into the Bengal provinces with the professed object of restoring the imperial authority, but really with the intention of annexing such territory as he could seize.
