An encyclopedia entry for Warren Hastings, appointed President of the Council of Bengal in 1772, is presented. Hastings was born in Worcestershire, England, in 1732, and studied at Westminster. Because he was well versed in the Persian and Hindostanee languages, Hastings was selected to negotiate several treaties with the native Princes. As President of the Council of Bengal, Hastings was given the title of Governor-General, with an increase of power. In 1785, Hastings resigned his office and returned to England.
