Requirements: .PDF reader, 13 Mb
Overview: This volume is the first detailed study of what happened in Britain when the East India Company acquired a vast territorial empire in South Asia. Drawing on a mass of hitherto unused material contained in the Company’s administrative and financial records, the book offers a reconstruction of the inner workings of the Company as it made the remarkable transition from business to empire during the late-eighteenth century. Huw Bowen profiles the company’s stock holders and directors and examines how those in London adapted their methods, working practices, and policies to changing circumstances in India.
