Scottish Liberal Party politician and Indian administrator For other people named George Campbell , see George Campbell ( disambiguation ) . Portrait " Indian authority " . Caricature by Spy published in Vanity Fair in 1878 . Sir George Campbell , KCSI , DCL ( 1824 - 18 February 1892 ) was a Scottish member of the Indian Civil Service , holding a variety of administrative positions , acting as a judge of the High Court , Calcutta , and rising at the end of his career to the position of Lieutenant-Governor of Bengal . He was a barrister , and author on Irish and Indian land tenure , and on the government of India . He was a Liberal Party politician and , post-India , for seventeen years member of parliament for Kirkcaldy Burghs . Biography George Campbell was born in 1824 , the eldest son of Sir George Campbell , of Edenwood , whose brother became the 1st Baron Campbell . He was educated at Edinburgh Academy and the University of St Andrews . He was appointed to the Bengal Civil Service from Haileybury in 1842 , and , making the voyage round the Cape in a P. and O. Steamer , arrived in India on the 25th December 1842 . He served in Rohilkhand in subordinate revenue and judicial appointments from 1843 to 1846 ; was in charge of several districts and political Divisions of the Cis-Sutlej states from 1846 to 1851 , and was mentioned with special praise by Lord Dalhousie . While on furlough from 1851 to 1854 he was called to the Bar at Inner Temple in 1854 , and became an Associate of the Court of Queen 's Bench , and published Modern India ( dedicated to his uncle , then Lord Chief Justice of England ) and India as it may be . He married in 1854 while at home . He was Magistrate-Collector of Azimghur , 1854 ; Commissioner of Customs , North-Western Provinces , 1855 ; Commissioner of the Cis-Sutlej states , 1855-7 : took an active part as Civil Commissioner in some events of the Indian Rebellion of 1857 and was present at several engagements ; was Personal Assistant to Lord Canning , 1857-8 : and judicial and financial Commissioner of Oudh , 1858 . It was unusual promotion that brought him from Oudh to be a Judge of the High Court , Calcutta , 1863-66 . He was President of the Orissa Famine Commission , 1866-67 , and Chief Commissioner of the Central Provinces , 1867-8 . While on furlough in 1868-70 he became a candidate for Dumbartonshire in the Liberal interest , but retired from his candidature before the general election : he then published his work on Irish Land Tenure , and was made a Doctor of Civil Law of the University of Oxford . Lieutenant-Governor of Bengal From 1871 to 1874 George Campbell was Lieutenant-Governor of Bengal . His appointment was , as he has himself recorded , a surprise . He was on furlough and , " failing anything that he cared for , " on the eve of retirement . Late in the autumn of 1870 , he received the offer from the Secretary of State for India , the Duke of Argyll , between whom and the Governor-General of India , Lord Mayo , the selection was arranged . An early issue for the new Lieutenant-Governor was unrest amongst the Santal people , who had grievances about land tenure and the imposition of rack-rents , arising inter alia from the extension of Government of India Acts to Santal villages . Campbell negotiated powers to appoint officers to make a settlement of land rights issues , to restore dispossessed tenants , to settle rents and to record the customs and usages of the people . Regulations were made to introduce a usury law limiting the accumulation of interest on debts , and to provide some discretion of Government to introduce or withdraw the application of laws as found desirable from time to time . Campbell was responsible for provincial finance reform , devolving responsibility for the control of expenditure to local government , where previously it had been under the control of central government . He introduced The Bengal Road Cess Act of 1871 , which imposed a property-based tax , the revenues of which were dedicated to the improvement of , primarily , road infrastructure , and the budgets for which were under local control . Other transport innovation of his time included the establishment of Port Trust Commissioners for the port of Kolkata , who effected considerable improvements to port infrastructure , efficiency and revenues raised ; and the letting of a contract for the manufacture of the first Howrah Bridge , a pontoon structure , linking Howrah and Kolkata . The early period of his office saw three events speaking to opposition to the Raj . On 20 September 1871 , John Paxton Norman , acting chief Justice of the Calcutta High Court was assassinated , stabbed to death by an Indian Wahabi , Mohammad Abdullah , in what appears to have been a political act . On 8 February 1872 , the Governor-General of India , Richard Bourke , 6th Earl of Mayo , was assassinated , again by stabbing , by an apparently disgruntled convict , Sher Ali Afridi , a former Afghan soldier who had been convicted for murdering a relative . Sandwiched between these two events , a punitive expedition was mounted to rescue British subjects captured by members of the Mizo people - called Lushais - and to convince the hill tribes of the region that they had nothing to gain and everything to lose by placing themselves in a hostile position towards the British Government . During his tenure the Pabna Disturbances occurred . With his proclamation on 4 July 1873 during the Pabna Peasant Uprisings , guaranteeing government support of peasants against excessive zamindar demands he ensured that the protest remained peaceful , at the same time antagonising the landlords and his namesake George Campbell , 8th Duke of Argyll at that time Secretary of State for India . A contemporary assessment of Campbell and his time leading Bengal notes that he represented a revolution of root-and-branch administration ; but at the same time , left Bengal with very little goodwill , because of the uncompromising nature of his temper , his contentious tone , his tendency to disputation , and an unwillingness to compromise . Whilst he stood foremost amongst the Bengal Lieutenant-Governors , he was the least popular . Post-India career George Campbell was Member of Parliament ( MP ) for Kirkcaldy Burghs from 1875 to his death in 1892 . Campbell 's biographers in the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography assert that " his failure as a politician was complete " : The retired proconsul 's discordant tones and self-importance— the subject of covert mockery in official Bengal—incurred open derision at Westminster , where he spoke , or tried to speak , far too often . He was ' positively and literally hooted as I have never heard a man hooted in the House of Commons ' , wrote H. W. Lucy . He published a number of major works in the post-India period of his life , as well as contributions in the Quarterly Ethnological Journal and the Journal of the Asiatic Society of Bengal . Family , death Campbell married , in 1853 , Laetitia Maria Vibart , daughter of John Gowan Vibart , of the Bengal civil service , and left several children . Lady Campbell died in London 21 October 1901 , aged 68 . Their eldest son , Major George Campbell ( ca. 1861-1902 ) , died while serving with the 8th King 's Regiment in the Second Boer War in South Africa . George Campbell contacted influenza and died on 18 February 1892 in Cairo , where he was buried .
