Item description from seller

Print on Demand. This book publishes the secret committee's findings on the East India Company's financial status and affairs. The investigation covered the aftermath of the Seven Years' War (French and Indian War in America), requisitioned British troops, and the fallout from the 1769 famine in Bengal, which followed the company gaining diwani, or revenue-collecting rights, over Bengal, Bihar, and Orissa. The report gives a detailed account of the company's debts, credits, and effects for 1772 in England and India, as well as the debts, credits, and effects of the company abroad, at their presidencies in India, in China, at Saint Helena, and afloat on the sea. The report also notes the up-to-date status of the company's assets and debts, although the report notes that there were extensive arrears in dividend payments, particularly to annuitants and bondholders. In many cases, these payments were years or even decades in arrears. The report includes correspondence regarding the company's outstanding payments, including requests to the board of treasury from the directorate of the East India Company. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.…
