Sir Stamford Raffles (1 Jan 1781 Jahr – 1 Jan 1826 Jahr)

Beschreibung:

Lieutenant-Governor of Java
“I have the happiness to release several millions of my fellow creatures from a state of bondage and arbitrary oppression. The revenues of Government, instead of being wrung by the grasping hand of an unfeeling tax-farmer from the savings of industry, will now come into the treasuries of Government direct and in proportion to the actual capacity of the country.”
