Sir Richard Temple, 1st Baronet (1826-1902) was an administrator in 
British India and a politician. "Temple was destined to be an 
outstanding representative of the 'Punjab school' of Indian 
administration... he was made resident at Hyderabad in April 1867, 
foreign secretary in the central government in January 1868, and 
financial member of council from April 1868 to April 1874...Temple 
achieved the distinction of governing Bombay-to which he was 
appointed in April 1877-as well as Bengal. 'One cannot help seeing', 
he wrote, '... a new mental force ... springing up in Indian 
politics, which must add to our already numerous anxieties': Western 
education acted upon important elements of the population, such as 
the Maratha Brahmans in the Bombay presidency, whose disaffection lay 
close to the surface.... He was accessible and conciliatory to 
educated Indians, and later endorsed Lord Ripon's extension of local 
self-government: 'some risk must be borne', he wrote," (DNB).

spines dulled, small oval Jesuit institutional stamp on free
