Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Letters Received by the East India Company From Its Servants in the East, Vol. 3: Transcribed From the ´Original Correspondence´ Series of the India Office Records; 1613-1615 The documents of the ´Original Correspondence´ series printed in the present volume are numbered 124 to 250, and, with a few exceptions, belong to the period between the 2nd December, 1613, and the 23rd February, 1615, or nearly fifteen months. The exceptions, it may be well to note, are Nos. 2, 4, 7, 9, 10, 11, 15, 16, 20, 23 and 24 of the abstracts ranged under No. 187. These were mostly written from the Cape by the factors, &c., of Keeling´s fleet of 1615, and are mingled with letters of earlier date owing to the fact that they were received by the Hope, which was met at Table Bay on her homeward voyage. In all, nearly one hundred and fifty separate documents are included in this instalment. Roughly speaking, one-half of these are dated from Surat, Agra, or other places in the dominions of the Great Mogul; while the remainder may be almost equally divided between Japan and Bantam (with its subordinates). The importance of the first of these three groups is certainly commensurate with its bulk; for the period in question was one in which the fate of the English attempt to settle in Western India hung more than once in the balance.
