Walter Wallbank," almost certainly the historian Thomas Walter Wallbank; fine, in a very good dust jacket which is a slightly faded and price-clipped. "Lord Minto became viceroy in 1905, a position he held until 1910. Lord Minto saw his wife as a true partner in this accomplishment, seeing it as ‘a recognition of all her work quite as much as anything I have ever done’ ... After the war Mary Minto became invested in securing credit for her husband for a series of Indian constitutional reforms of 1909 that were more widely associated at the time with his secretary of state, John Morley. She used her husband’s correspondence and her own Indian journal (later posthumously published in its own right in 2016) to write India, Minto and Morley (1934), a work that demonstrates her thorough understanding of-and involvement in-all her husband did in office" (DNB). Thomas Walter Wallbank was a USC professor of history and author of the textbook Civilization past and present, "in which he conceived of an integration of African, Asian and Middle Eastern cultures with those of the West."
