Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the practical merits of the system established under a Board of Control in India from the late 18th century. The author, a contemporary of the time period, traces the evolution of this system from its inception in 1784 to its continuation in 1793. It analyses whether its ostensible purpose, as outlined in Parliament, of preventing schemes of conquest and enlargement of dominion in India, was achieved. It also evaluates the system's success in increasing exports of British manufactures to India and imports of raw materials, and the progress made in appropriating profits to the objects to which they were by law assigned. The author argues that despite parliamentary intent to limit the extent of British dominions in the East, the system led to a substantial expansion of territory through conquest and subsidiary alliances. The author asserts that this expansion was driven by a desire for commercial advantage and a disregard for the well-being of the Indian people. The book offers valuable insights into the historical development of British rule in India and the complex interplay of political and economic factors that shaped it.
