Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book records the evidence presented to a select committee in 1831 concerning the state of affairs of the East India Company. The author meticulously documents the testimony of witnesses, including the captain of a naval ship who was stationed at Canton during a politically charged period. Discussions centered on the residence of British women in the region and the subsequent threats from the Chinese government, including the murder of a British subject by three Parsees. The book also examines the regulations surrounding British trade in China, including the trade in opium and the controversial presence of an armed British force to protect British subjects. At the time, the company was facing pressure to expand Indian commerce, but some argued this would be folly due to the fixed beliefs and customs of the populace. Despite opposition and dire predictions, the Indian trade grew significantly in subsequent years. This book serves as a valuable historical resource for understanding the complex economic, political, and social dynamics that shaped British trade and imperial interests in India.
