0 Letters on the East India Monopoly originally published in the Glasgow Chronicle with additions and corrections 2 parts in 1 second edition annotations to first few leaves 10 blank ff. at end contemporary half calf upper board detached Glasgow 1812 § Laurie (David) Hints Regarding the East India Company 56pp. light browning to edges modern wrappers Glasgow 1813 8vo (2) *** In 1812 the Company in order to help their efforts to renew their Charter considered relaxing their exclusive privileges relating to the export trade with India. However the proposed relaxation was only to benefit London merchants much to the consternation of their provincial colleagues. As a consequence over 30 pamphlets attacking the Company appeared in 1812-13 agitating for a complete opening to all British ports of the export trade. Those from Glasgow and Edinburgh “were as remarkable for their vehemence as for their general ignorance of the conditions under which the Indian trade was carried on.” (Philips). This led to a pamphlet war but the tide was turning against the Company and in 1813 it gave up its privileges.

In this pamphlet he sets out his views on the suppression of smuggling attempts to reduce tea prices and the relative values of “Congou and Souchong teas”. Twining draws the attention of the public to the unscrupulous practice of adulteration describing the “method of making smouch with ash tree leaves to mix with black teas”.

His technique of combining the photographic process with tradition art forms shows a pioneering style during the late Victorian era. The archive comprises: a group of academic and medical certificates; a group of 56 original glass lantern slides by Dr. Clarke showing Cardigan and environs, and figure and art studies including a self-portrait; 24 original engravings circa 1881; an album of silhouette images by Dr Clarke inscribed Wakefield 1900; a folio of platinotype photographs and hand-drawn artwork illustrating `Daybreak` by Longfellow inscribed Wakefield 1886; a group of 4 sketchbooks containing numerous pencil and ink drawings by Clarke and his daughter with other artwork, photographs, ephemera; an album of press cuttings on Clarke; 12 Welsh landscape photographs by Clarke printed on silk, his brass field microscope and silver-topped ebony walking stick engraved with monogram HC
