Grey, Sir Edward : (1862-1933), 1st Viscount Grey of Fallodon: Foreign Secretary (1905-16), his comment on the World War I became proverbial: “The lamps are going out all over Europe; we shall not see them lit again in our life.”
... Letter to Lord Morley is seditious. We are almost afraid to go on, lest, finally, we should end by proving that the Englishman itself is an intolerably seditious rag,—for does it not try to bring Sir Edward Baker and the Government generally into contempt by intimating genially that they are liars, idiots and good-for-nothing Page 406 weaklings,—in connection with the Reforms and their ... not of conspiracy. Now one of the charges against a Punjab accused is that he wrote impugning the character of the subordinate police service—just like the Indian Daily News or Sir Andrew Fraser. We would suggest that Sir Andrew Fraser should be arrested in England and brought here to answer to the outraged police for the remarks passed by the Police Commission. The reasoning is perfectly fair. Any... Case The Patiala case has developed a real objective, which is the destruction of the Arya Samaj, the men arrested being merely pawns in the game. The speech of the Counsel for the prosecution, Mr. Grey, in no way sets out an ordinary case against individuals, nor is there any passage in it which gives any light as to particular evidence against the persons on their trial, but from beginning to end ...
... Morley, the Secretary of State for India, used another adjective: "the redoubtable Arabinda." Sir Edward Baker, the Governor of Bengal, regarded Sri Aurobindo as "one of the most dangerous factors in the present situation...." When Minto transmitted the opinion of the Secretary of State to Sir Edward, he protested, saying that there was no reason to show any favour to "our most conspicuous and most... s searches that went on for hours, they arrested many more from all over the city; and on subsequent days from other parts of Bengal, and the whole country. On May 2 Aurobindo was arrested from his Grey Street quarters. The first phase of the trial took place at the court of L. Birley, the District Magistrate of Alipore, and it lasted from 19 May to 19 August 1908. "He seemed to be a credit to... seditious doctrines to him personally in a greater degree than to any other single individual in Bengal, or possibly in India." In a confidential note of 19 May 1908, the Lieutenant-Governor of Bengal, Sir Andrew Fraser, said that the public Page 456 records which he had collected, "make him the undisputed leader of the Bengal revolutionaries." The Movement must be throttled. ...
... George and Mr. Winston Churchill in the quarrel with the Lords, is now ringing louder in England and has been Page 343 taken up in soberer but not less emphatic tones by Mr. Asquith and Sir Edward Grey. There can be no doubt that there was dissension in the Cabinet over the Budget and that the con-cessions made by the Government in the process of passing it were forced upon Mr. Lloyd George and... them sign a creed which violates their conscience will be resisted. There can be no farther weakening on that point, and if the Moderates demand that we shall lay down our principles on the altar to Sir Pherozshah Mehta before they will admit fellowship with us then farther negotiations are useless. Disunion must take its course. The Spirit of the Negotiations Both the Bengalee and the Amrita... holding a meeting to send delegates to the Three Men's Congress at Lahore. There is no such condition underlying the negotiations. At Hughly Sj. Surendranath expressly reserved his liberty to attend Sir Pherozshah's Congress and there is no reason why he should not do so if he thinks that his duty or his best policy. Nor do the Nationalists ask the Bengal Moderates to refrain, though they will naturally ...

... When I went to see him and took leave, he opened them fully and looked at me. It seemed as if he could penetrate me and see everything clearly. That reminds me of a compliment given to my eyes by Sir Edward Baker, Governor of Bengal. He visited me in Alipore Jail and told Charu Dutt, "Have you seen Aurobindo Ghose's eyes?" "Yes, what about them?" asked Charu. "He has the eyes of a madman!" Charu... suitable for Epic. I wrote most of my hexametres—the poem Ilion—in Pondicherry.

... largely by financial difficulties, Edward came up with an amazing string of victories. He gained control of the Channel in a naval battle at Sluys (1340) and nearly annihilated the French army at Crecy (1346). Then he went on to take Calais, which remained a port of entry for English armies for two centuries. Ten years later, Edward's son, the Black Prince (also named Edward), crushed another French army... Capetian dynasty. His cousin, Philip of Valois, succeedshim as Philip VI. 1337 Philip VI declares English King Edward's fiefs [in France] forfeit and begins harassing the frontiers of Aquitaine [a province of France held by the English king]. 1338 English King Edward III formally claims the French crown. 1346 Battle of Crecy [in France]: disaster for the French. 1356 Battle... easily dealt with by the troops in heavy armor. The only weakness in Edward's formation was that it was essentially defensive; it could not be used for a charge.

... There were also certain other encounters and experiences. Sir Edward Baker, the Lieutenant-Governor of Bengal, after a visit to the Alipur Jail where he happened to see Sri Aurobindo, told Charu Chandra Dutt: "Have you seen Arabinda Ghose's eyes? He has the eyes of a mad man!", and Dutt had to take great pains to convince Sir Edward that Arabinda wasn't mad at all but was really a true Karma... Page 307 would take no more chances. Orders were therefore issued for his immediate arrest. It was a Friday night, and Sri Aurobindo was sleeping peacefully in his first floor room at 48, Grey Street - the office of the Nava Sakti - to which he had moved some time earlier from his Scott's Lane residence.

Some other reminiscences of jail life are given here: "This reminds me of a compliment given to my eyes by Sir Edward Baker, Governor of Bengal.

Life of Sri Aurobindo CHAPTER - VI In Alipore Jail and After On 2 May 1908, Sri Aurobindo's residence, 48, Grey Street, Calcutta, was searched by the police. He himself was arrested. It has been stated by some magazines that earth from Ramakrishna's hut which was brought by Sri Aurobindo, was with him when he was arrested. Here is what Sri Aurobindo... outwardly unconcerned and unperturbed. He had, as it were, drawn his mind into the depth of his being."² On 14 May Sri Aurobindo issued the following letter to the Editor of the Bengalee : Sir, Will you kindly allow me to express through your columns my deep sense of gratitude to all who have helped me in my hour of trial?
