East India Company.- [Colquhoun (Patrick)] Observa and the National Loss occasioned by the Importation of the same Species of Cotton Goods which can be manufactured in Great Britain first edition 20pp. including appendix drop-head title soiled and stained at edges ex-library copy with small ink stamp at foot of first and last leaves disbound preserved in modern marbled wrappers [Goldsmiths` 13572 without appendix; Kress B.1463] 4to n.p. [1788]. *** Rare pamphlet and one of the earliest by Colquhoun. His interest in the cotton trade was no doubt stimulated by his stay in Virginia which he visited as a boy aged sixteen. It describes the increased demand for cotton resulting from industrialisation by British manufacturers. The main subject is trade between India and Great Britain and suggestions for increasing the profitability of the East India Company. The importance of this Company Colquhoun argues can hardly be overestimated: “The affairs of India have grown to such a magnitude as to shake the very pillars of the state. The whole interests of the British Empire are affected by the operations of this commercial body.”

An enquiry was launched in 1695 which discovered that Thomas Osborne First Duke of Leeds (1632-1712) had accepted a significant bribe for which he was duly impeached: “in the spring of 1695 the House of Commons began to investigate corruption in the East India Company. A bill of penalties against one of the chief culprits Sir Thomas Cooke roused Leeds into daily attendance for he had been accused of receiving

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.
