As soon as Pigot arrived in Madras he was at odds with the the majority of his council members. This resulted in a legal wrangle where Pigot tried to reinstate the lands of the Rajah of Tanjore without approval. He refused to sign documents in several highly strung meetings and was eventually arrested by Brigadier-General James Stuart as ordered of a majority of the council and died in captivity in 1777. This pamphlet was written by James Stuart's brother as a defence of his actions for which he would eventually be pardoned in a court martial in 1780. Pickett 1137. [London], 1778. hardcover

réf. 48671presented to the Lords States Generall of the united Provinces in defence of the said Company touching the bloudy proceedings against the English Merchants executed at Amboyna. Together with the Acts of the Processe against the sayd English and the Reply of the English East India Company to the said Remonstrance and Defence. Published by Authority. London : printed by John Dawson for the East India Company 1632. Three parts in one volume small quarto modern panelled calf in period style spine in compartments with gilt decoration and lettering; pp. 8 29 1 blank; 2 separate title-leaf 38; 47; 1; with a full-page woodcut depicting the torture of one of the English merchants at Ambon bound in at the end of the preliminaries in effect as a frontispiece to the first part; main title with woodcut armorial device woodcut initials head- and tailpieces; some mild browning a fine copy. Together the three parts of this work provide a summarised account of the so-called Amboyna or Ambon massacre a watershed event that occurred at a time of growing rivalry between the English and Dutch East India Companies over control of the lucrative spice trade. In early 1623 at the Dutch garrison of Fort Victoria on the island of Amboyna in the Moluccas the local Dutch governor ordered the arrest of ten English merchants suspected of plotting to take over the garrison; they confessed under torture and were executed in February 1623. The English reacted by branding the event a massacre. This volume is sometimes found bound with another that was published in London the same year which also presents the controversy from an English perspective A True Relation of the Unjust Cruell and Barbarous Proceedings against the English at Amboyna in the East-Indies by the Netherlandish Governor and Councell there. Both publications helped fuel a rising tide of anti-Dutch sentiment; it would not be long before animosity would give way to open hostility with the outbreak of the First Anglo-Dutch War in 1652.

réf. 123242London Effingham Wilson 1829. . 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; 74 pp. A defence of the East-India Company's monopoly with China focussing on the tea trade and its comparative differences with that of the opining of Indian textile trade in 1813. Much of the argument for the ending of the China trade monopoly was centred around the cost of tea: the Macartney embassy in 1793 had made plain that the Qing dynasty were not interested in the import of western goods. With the monopoly on tea prices the cost paid by the British person was felt to be astronomical. This pamphlet defends the Company's prices with an investigation into the types of tea available and proclaims that the Company's tea is hand-selected specially chosen and of an exceedingly high calibre than one would get with the absence of the Company's oversight.
