Description
This hardcover volume by William Foster serves as an essential reference work for historians and scholars studying the early period of English commercial and colonial activity in India. It provides a detailed calendar and index of documents spanning 1634-1636, a critical period in the establishment of English factories and trading posts across the Indian subcontinent.
The documents included are sourced from three major repositories: the India Office, the British Museum, and the Public Record Office. These primary sources offer valuable insights into the commercial operations, diplomatic relations, and daily administration of English settlements in India during the early 17th century.
Foster’s meticulous cataloging system makes this work an indispensable tool for academic research, providing scholars with organized access to historical records that illuminate the foundations of British-Indian relations and the early East India Company’s operations in the region.
