On the Territorial Government and Commerce of the East India Company.

£150 · Offered by Shapero Rare Books

Scarce pamphlet on the impending revocation of the East-India Company's final monopolies with China and a defence of its continued control of Britain's territorial concerns in India. Despite, at this stage, the monopoly of the Company becoming more obviously flawed, the concern over the government taking over such a vast swathe of territory was still evident in the political debate of the day. First edition; 8vo (21 x 13.5 cm); modern quarter red morocco, gilt rolled red cloth boards, spine lettered in gilt, all edges speckled red, a fine copy; 48 pp.
