Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Letter to the Proprietors of East-India Stock In the course of this long service I have been employed in various departments. After the sack of Calcutta, I engaged with a few others as a volunteer under Major Kilpatrick, who collected a small force before the arrival of Lieutenant-colonel Clive, and endeavoured to support and retrieve the company´s affairs. I afterwards accepted a commission under that officer in the artillery, and joined with him the reinforcement which came from Madrass, under Admiral Watson and Lieutenant-colonel Clive. I served the whole of that campaign till the company´s affairs were re-established by the battle of Plassy, and was present when the treasures of the Nabob were distributed with a liberal hand. I received no share of that bounty, except my small proportion as an officer, and what was allowed for the restitution of losses, which was paid very slowly, and not completely paid for near three years after. I was sent after that victory with the command of the artillery upon a detachment which went beyond Patna in pursuit of Mr. Law, who had advanced to join himself to Sujah Doula with a body of French. Major Coote, who was particularly chosen for this enterprize, obliged Mr. Law to retire to Sujah Doula´s dominions, from whence he continued to alarm the new Nabob and the company for four years. This party returning from the pursuit of Mr. Law, I arrived at Calcutta in September 1757. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
