Book Description
Excerpt from Letter From the Marquis Wellesley, Governor General of India, to the Court of Directors of the East India Company, on the Trade of India, Dated Fort William, 30th September, 1800 The accompanying letter from the Marquis Wellesley to the Court of Directors, on the Private Trade of India, was published in 1801. The Court of Directors, it is true, appeared to consider, "that from the various important events which had occurred during the short period of Lord Wellesley's Government, and the application of his mind to other studies, he, though acquainted with the general principles of commercial policy, for which the Court also maintain a liberal regard, had not been able perhaps to contemplate the effects of the proposed changes in a commercial country like England, with the lights which the position, mercantile experience, and habits of the members of the Court of Directors reflect upon it."

The Travels of Dean Mahomet
Author: Dean Mahomet
Publisher: Univ of California Press
ISBN: 0520918517
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 256
Book Description
This unusual study combines two books in one: the 1794 autobiographical travel narrative of an Indian, Dean Mahomet, recalling his years as camp-follower, servant, and subaltern officer in the East India Company's army (1769 to 1784); and Michael H. Fisher's portrayal of Mahomet's sojourn as an insider/outsider in India, Ireland, and England. Emigrating to Britain and living there for over half a century, Mahomet started what was probably the first Indian restaurant in England and then enjoyed a distinguished career as a practitioner of "oriental" medicine, i.e., therapeutic massage and herbal steam bath, in London and the seaside resort of Brighton. This is a fascinating account of life in late eighteenth-century India—the first book written in English by an Indian—framed by a mini-biography of a remarkably versatile entrepreneur. Travels presents an Indian's view of the British conquest of India and conveys the vital role taken by Indians in the colonial process, especially as they negotiated relations with Britons both in the colonial periphery and the imperial metropole. Connoisseurs of unusual travel narratives, historians of England, Ireland, and British India, as well as literary scholars of autobiography and colonial discourse will find much in this book. But it also offers an engaging biography of a resourceful, multidimensional individual.

The East India Company at Home, 1757-1857
Author: Margot Finn
Publisher: UCL Press
ISBN: 1787350274
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 540
Book Description
The East India Company at Home, 1757–1857 explores how empire in Asia shaped British country houses, their interiors and the lives of their residents. It includes chapters from researchers based in a wide range of settings such as archives and libraries, museums, heritage organisations, the community of family historians and universities. It moves beyond conventional academic narratives and makes an important contribution to ongoing debates around how empire impacted Britain. The volume focuses on the propertied families of the East India Company at the height of Company rule. From the Battle of Plassey in 1757 to the outbreak of the Indian Uprising in 1857, objects, people and wealth flowed to Britain from Asia. As men in Company service increasingly shifted their activities from trade to military expansion and political administration, a new population of civil servants, army officers, surveyors and surgeons journeyed to India to make their fortunes. These Company men and their families acquired wealth, tastes and identities in India, which travelled home with them to Britain. Their stories, the biographies of their Indian possessions and the narratives of the stately homes in Britain that came to house them, frame our explorations of imperial culture and its British legacies.
