Book excerpt: Excerpt from British India: Calcutta Calcutta's trade in metals was even more upset by the war in 1916 - 17 than in 1915 - 16. High prices and more recently the necos sity of obtaining priority certificates have reduced contracts to the lowest possible requirements. In the United Kingdom control of the steel trade dates practically from the creation of the Ministry of Munitions. Maximum prices have since been fixed for most metals, and the quantities available for ordinary commercial pur poses are very greatly reduced. The result in India has been to post. Pone all new work which was not really urgent and to hamper ex isting constructions by the shortage and uncertainty of supplies. While the actual decrease in the trade is equivalent to about 42 per cent in weight the high prices ruling show a decline in of only 6 per cent.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of British India, Vol. 3 of 8 When a number of individuals unite themselves in any common interest, reason suggests, that they themselves should manage as much as it is convenient for them to manage and that they should make choice of persons to execute for them such parts of the business as cannot be conveniently transacted by themselves. It was upon this principle, that the adventurers in the trade to India originally framed the constitution of their Company. They met in assemblies, which were called Courts of Proprietors, and transacted certain parts of the common business; And they chose a certain number of persons belonging to their own body, and who were called Committees,1 to manage for them other parts of the business, which they could not so well perform themselves. The whole of the managing business, therefore, or the whole of the government, was in the hands of. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of British India, Vol. 1: To the Overthrow of the English in the Spice Archipelago Again the victors fought over the spoils. Those spoils lay chiefly not on the Indian coast, but in the Eastern Archipelago. India was then a half way house for the richer traffic of the Spice Islands. The third Act unfolds the strife between the two Protestant sea-powers for this prize. The Nether lands had long contained the marts by which the produce of the East, transhipped at Lisbon to Bruges, Antwerp, and Amsterdam, was distributed to N orthem and Central Europe. The capture of the Indian trade seemed to Holland a continuation of her just revolt against Portugal and Spain, a heritage from her hard subjection, and the seal of the independence which she had so dearly won. To England it was but the mercantile development, on an extended scale, of the sea enterprise of the Elizabethan adventurers.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Peace in India: How to Attain It One tenth of the entire trade of the British Empire passes through the seaports of India; and this sea borne trade is more than one-third of the trade of the Empire outside the United Kingdom. It is greater than that of Australia and Canada com bined, and Within the Empire Indian sea-b orne trade is second only to that of the United Kingdom. India has become the largest producer of food and raw material in the Empire, and the principal granary of Great Britain, the imports into the United Kingdom of wheat, meal, and flour from India exceeding those of Canada, and being double those of Australia. For all these reasons the question of the present dangerous situation in India is of momentous interest to everyone in this country.

Download or read book Sketch of the History Government and Resources of British India written by and published by . This book was released on 2016-06-21 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sketch of the History, Government and Resources of British India: With Tables of the Revenue and Expenditure It will doubtless appear presumptuous for any person, and more especially one not in the slightest degree connected with east-indian affairs, to attempt so vast a subject in the circumscribed space of a pamphlet; but it must be recollected that no more is meant than to give such a general idea of the' country as may be obtained by reading and inquiry. It was at first intended merely to publish the Tables of the Revenue and Expenditure, but the investigation necessary for that purpose produced an irresistible desire to make the hazardous attempt of an entire sketch of the country. This sketch will, of course, contain only an outline of the internal administration and economy of our Indian possessions. Indeed, it is hardly possible, in any case, for an individual not locally acquainted with a country to descend with accuracy into the minute details of its government and constitution, and, even if it were, it is very doubtful whether such a knowledge would be of any service to those who lived at a distance from it, and had not the opportunity of observing the practical operation of the system. Custom frequently intro dunes deviations from established regulations, which are not to be learned without practical experience, or, at all events, an extent of research to which the advantage to be obtained seems hardly commensurate. National manners and prejudices also have so great an in uence on the minutia of the business of administration, that it would not always be easy to discover the identity of establishments in different countries, though their actual constitution might be precisely the same. Hence a bare description of the rules, however minute, by which the affairs of a nation are conducted, will afford, after all, but a general idea of its government and internal economy; and the notion we might form in our minds of a country which was actually regulated by such ordi nances, might still differ very widely from the reality. It is from considerations like these that the author has thought a sketch of the leading features of the Indian empire would be sufficient to give such a general idea as to lead to a right understanding of affairs connected therewith, and that some useful information might be contained in a few pages, which would not be unacceptable to the general reader who was not anxious to enter into the more detailed histories. The narrative is to be considered merely as a record of events connected with the acquisition of territory or tribute.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Political and Military Events in British India, Vol. 1: From the Years 1756 to 1849 It is presumed that the subject of Indian affairs must be interesting to all those now in the ser vice of the East India. Company; to those who have retired from it; and likewise to persons who may hereafter enter the military profession in India. To the relations and friends of all the above classes, even, the present publication may not be without its value. The earlier period of the East India Company's connexion with India, when only possessed of factories, and in the character of merchants trading to the East Indies, was important chiefly in a mercantile and commercial point of view; deprived of the trade of India and of the trade to China they assumed a new character - that of sovereigns.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Asiatic Journal and Monthly Register for British India and Its Dependencies, Vol. 14: July to December 1822 The consolidation and simplifying of these regulations cannot therefore be otherwise than desirable to persons engaged in foreign trade; but when it is proposed to carry reform to a ra dical point, and to abrogate those laws under which our shipping and naviga tion have grown up and flourished, it is extremely natural for those whose interests are nearly concerned in the measure, to require beforehand the most ample and satisfactory evidence that the benefits to flow from it are certain, or that it is called for by ah solute necessity. Ir is reasonable to ask why those very restrictions, to which we have hitherto ascribed our naval and commercial eminence, should now be regarded by us as impediments; and whether foreigners are at the pre sent period less able or less willing to attempt maintaining a rivalry with the British merchant The answer to this inquiry exhibits the state Of our trade in such a deplorable point of view, that I cannot believe it is not founded upon false or delusive infor mation: it is nothing less, in short, than this, that our commerce is de parting from us, and we can hope to retain even a portion Of it only by giving up, or at least greatly relaxing, our jealous prohibitory system.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Article on the Colonization and Commerce of British India: From the Westminster Review, No; XXII, for October 1829 In turning over our earlier numbers it is a matter of some self-reproach, and more regret, that a subject of such vast moment as the government of British India should so seldom have occupied their pages. The neglect shall be repaired in future, and with usury for delay. Till of late years, a very imperfect knowledge existed in this country of the state of British India. The company had gone on adding field to field, and kingdom to kingdom, and the news of their military triumphs were the sole portion of their history, with which the public was favoured. We were accustomed to listen to the tale of imprisoned and ransomed princes - of captured towns and provinces - of defeated armies - and of splendid treaties of peace. The power which was already gigantic, went on increasing in magnitude, and little was heard but the echoes of shoutings which celebrated victories won. Who inquired - who cared - about the vanquished millions? This was the day of spoliation - of oppression - of impunity; but, little by little, attention was awakened to the huge empire which the company of merchants had gradually mastered. Some of their misdoings found a voice in England, till at last floods of light have burst upon the question; and among the most valuable of the light given, we reckon the intelligent and benevolent authors of the works whose titles head this article, on whose treasures we shall draw without hesitation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The British Colonies, Vol. 5: Their History, Extent, Condition, and Resources; British India The British Possessions in India cannot, in the 'ordinary sense of the word, be termed colonies; they have been acquired by pur chase, cession, or conquest, at various periods, within the last hundred years, as will be shown in subsequent pages. Up to the year 1784, their affairs were administered by a joint -stock trading body, termed the East India Company, which was originally incorporated ia. 1601, and endowed with exclusive trading privileges in relation to India and China. Since 1784, the political functions of the Company have been con trolled by the direct authority of the Crown, acting through a ministerial board of com missioners for the affairs of India; by this double government the govemor-general, the subordinate governors, the command ers-in-chief of the army and other function aries have been appointed, in the name of the sovereign. In 1813, the mercantile mo nopoly possessed by the Company in the continental portion of the East Indies was abrogated by parliamentary enactment, * and the commerce thrown open to all British subjects but the exclusive trade with China was still left in the hands of the association, and individuals not engaged in the service of the Crown or of the Company were obliged to obtain from the latter a licence or permission to reside in India.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from British Rule in India The East bowed low before the blast, In patient deep disdain; She let the legions thunder past, Then plunged in thought again. The so-called critics make the problem of British Adminis tration even more and more difficult. It is a great pity that, with most critics on Indian affairs, a sound knowledge of the history of the country is hardly considered essential before the formulation and public utterance of most decided opinions. Nothing in the world is perfect, and I do not for a moment say that the British Administration of India is not capable of great improvements. The rulers show no lack of adjustment to local conditions, though they have yet to teach young India to appreciate the dignity of manual labour. The immense inert mass of peasantry have a firm faith in the Sirkar, and show a willing submissiveness to a strong and consistent govern ment; and not all the harangues of the agitators have as yetbeen able to influence the current of devotion to the person of the Sovereign and belief in the benignity of his rule. But the profound, possibly unconscious, indifference of English states men to Indian affairs, if much longer continued, is likely to break the spell of British prestige in India; specially as now certain faddists systematically indulge in the luxury of ferret ing out isolated instances of injustice, and are trying to shape formless and occasional discontent into a single con tinuous outcry against imaginary widespread oppression. Sometimes English faddists unwittingly fan the flames of discontent for the mere love of party applause, which has risen among some of them to the height of a passion. With others, it is the hunger for cheap distinction. They have evidently no time to give a thought to the serious nature of their utterances. They forget that modern India is the most striking achievement of the white people in the tropics. The French in Indo China, the Dutch in java, or the Americans in the Philippine Islands, have not been half as successful as the English in India.

Download or read book The Trade of the East India Company written by FREDERICK PERCIVAL. ROBINSON and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-20 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Trade of the East India Company From 1709 to 1813 The monopoly of the early Chartered Companies had a political rather than an economic basis, and the aid of the government was invoked and cajoled as some outside force, to help one section of the community against all others. Prior to Tudor times, all matters concerning trade had been within the sphere of the Royal prerogative, and this was recognised without question as the con stitutional position, so that the grant of a rich monopoly to a court favourite was considered to be quite within the rights of the Crown. Elizabeth, however, carried the practice to a dangerous excess, and the Commons, now that the bogie of Hapsburg ascendancy was a thing of the past, made a stand against the prodigality with which she granted unnecessary monopolies to her courtiers. The Queen, who was most certainly abusing her privi leges in thus sacrificing to personal favouritism the interests of her subjects in general, was wise enough to withdraw, and the Royal prerogative in the matter was left as a field of controversy for her successors. But, generally speaking, monopolies were not granted for the benefit of the monopolist alone. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
