Ubique, The Black Pamphlet, The Famine of 1874, 1875
The Black Pamphlet, The Famine of 1874: by “Ubique,” (2)+6-60p, Calcutta, W. Newman & Co., 1875. (A TOC follows the title page. Lacks index. The main
part of the text describes the progress of the famine, which was centered in Behar. Ubique, the Latin word for “everywhere,” is a pseudonym chosen by
the anonymous author. He ascribes much of the widespread death and suffering to the apathy of the English people and bad governance by the British
authorities; calling for a Royal Commission to investigate what he regards as governmental incompetence. It is noteworthy that Ubique’s claim of
official indifference and incompetence was a recurring theme during the repeated famines that occurred during Great Britain’s Indian imperium, up to and
including the World War II period famine that fueled the post-war demands for immediate independence. The print text of this title was scanned from
Lincoln’s Inn Library pamphlet volume MP 20.)
