1839réf. 331758London: Smith Elder and Co 1839. Softcover. Good. First edition. Octavo. Disbound. 49pp. folding map. Lacking wrappers; title page and folding map detached from sewing; good. A scarce report establishes an early point for the English empire's interest in establishing a steam boat line in India and the methods by which they proposed to go about doing so. Commercial manufacturers and various merchants from Manchester Liverpool and India were enlisted to support the proposal and the report outlines navigational routes estimations of cost and the enthusiasm of changing maritime trading methods up and down the Ganges. The idea for an East India Inland Steam Navigation Company apparently began percolating in 1837 and this report fits nicely within the small pantheon of material devoted to this literature.
