When the Marquess of Cornwallis died in 1805, Sir George Barlow was nominated provisional Governor-General (1805-1807) and his passion for economy and retrenchment in that capacity has caused him to be known as the only Governor-General who diminished the area of British territory; but his nomination was rejected by the home government, and Lord Minto was appointed.
Subsequently Barlow was created Governor of Madras (Dec., 1807 — May, 1813) where his want of tact caused a mutiny of officers in 1809, similar to that which had previously occurred under Clive. In 1812 he was recalled, and lived in retirement until his death on Dec. 18th, 1846.
