Book excerpt: Excerpt from Memoir on the Affairs of the East-India Company It is matter more for regret than of surprise, that so little should be generally known regarding the East-India Company, and the character in which they stand with relation to the vast interests committed (under certain restrictions) to their management and control. The means of acquiring information are more ample, and more readily to be obtained than upon almost any other public question, whether such information be sought for in the records of Parliament, in those of the Company which have been from time to time printed for and laid before the Proprietors of East-India Stock, or in the standard histories of the day.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Considerations on the Present State of the East-India Company's Affairs: By a Person, Now, and for a Long Time Past, Interested in Them As the contest for the choice of directors is now over, it may seem improper to trouble you or the public with any frem disputes; and, as the merits of particular servants have been so much extolled, it may be deemed presumptuous to examine such sacred characters. But these reasons are so far from discouraging me to communicate the following reflections, that they rather excite my Zeal: I wish to strip off every fictitious ornament that wealth and titles may have lent, and to represent, with truth and candor, the real merits of these favourite servants.

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.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Letters Received by the East India Company From Its Servants in the East, Vol. 1: Transcribed From the 'Original Correspondence' Series of the India Office Records Have been made in the form of its production, the principal being that it has been thought advisable, firstly, to modernise the spelling of the manuscripts (except as regards place names, which are given as in the original, but with the modern name within brackets), and, secondly, to refrain from any attempt at annotation, the introduction and glossary having rendered the latter unnecessary. The order in which the several documents appear in the original volumes has been followed, but it will be observed that those are not always in strict sequence of date. As regards dates occurring.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ★ The East India Company ★Founded at the dawn of the seventeenth century as European nations were establishing global empires, the English East India Company would become a vital part of burgeoning British supremacy. Begun as a joint-stock company for trade with the East Indies, this organization would evolve into one of the world's first capitalistic corporations. Inside you will read about...✓ The English in the Atlantic Era and the Founding of the East India Company ✓ The 17th Century: Struggling, Building, and Growing with Violence ✓ The East India Company Enters the 18th Century ✓ The British Government Steps In ✓ China and the Opium Trade ✓ Growing British Involvement in the 19th Century ✓ The End of the East India Company And much more! Over the course of their 250+ years, the East India Company had built a global trading empire, raised an army and waged war, and conquered vast territory, including the entire subcontinent of India. Without their involvement, the British presence in India would look very different in the historical record. Though the company was dissolved by 1874, their influence on world history cannot be overstated. Series Information: The East India Companies Book 1

Book excerpt: The East India company - there has never been an enterprise like it. It ruled over nearly one-fifth of the world's population; possessed its own army and navy, its own civil service, even its own church; became the most powerful military force in Asia, and had a revenue greater than that of Britain. It was in Brian Gardener's words, "a government owned by businessmen, the shares in which were daily bought and sold."--Book Jacket (inside flap)

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The East India Examiner, Vol. 1: Reprinted From the Original Papers of That Periodical Publication It is therefore surprizing that the good people of England, who are so extremely watchful over the conduct of their ministers, should be so negligent with regard to their East India Directors. In matters of state, every private man thinks he has a right to advise, and not a cobler but will lift up his awl against the minister, and say, What doest thou? This liberty may be pushed to ridicule, but never to hurt. A good minister will never be afraid to have his actions scan'd, but the proudest Vizier that ever ruled, will tremble at the Vox Populi, when raised against him upon good ground. The present Directors of the East India Company are the only set of men in power, who have been able hitherto to stifle the voice of the people, when justly raised against them upon account of their mismanagement. While they, by unfair concealment of the real advantages obtained for the Company, and by artful workings on the fears of individuals, hoped to have succeeded in sinking the actual value of stock, and lowering it in expectation, the injured proprietors have been precluded from all appeal to the public, through the channel of the daily papers.
