The Punjab, being conquered, was now to be " settled. " We had tried, in other parts, various kinds of " settlement. '' We had subjected new provinces to different forms of administration, from the purely civil to the purely military, and we had recognised more or less of defectiveness in all the great experiments which had been made, and with an amount of success shedding no faint honor upon the character of oirr Indian adminis- trators. But the difiiculties encountered had been great, and err...ors had, doubtless, been committed. It was now to be seen how far our Indian statesmen would profit by the lessons of a century of varied experience, and turn to fruitfiil account the legacies bequeathed to them by their predecessors. If this were a great work now to be undertaken by Lord Dalhousie, it is certain that he addressed himself to it with unusual advantages on his side. The Punjab was not to us a new country; the Sikhs were not a new people. A considerable tract of country, known as the Jullindur Doab, the lands lying between the Sutlej and Beeas, had been under British administration ever since our first triumphant entry into Lahore.
