Excerpt from A View of the Present State and Future Prospects of the Free Trade Colonization of India

In the first three years of free trade, the official value of the exports from Great Britain to India and China averaged' the second they rose to and in the third to the free traders having to sustain the unfair competition of the East India Company, and the competition of all the commercial nations of Europe and America, while they were wholly excluded from the market of' China. In short, in nine brief years they had raised the Indian exports by 70 per cent. Beyond what they had ever 'attained under the East India Company, and by 146 per cent. Beyond what that East India Company had reduced them, after the piddling of more than 214 years.

In 1814, the last year of the Company's enjoyment of the exclusive monopoly, their whole exports from Great Britain to India amounted, in declared value, to 245; in 1823 they amounted only to in 1824 to in 1825 to in 1826 to and in 1827 to The average of the five years thus quoted makes the trade of the East India Company to India, after they had acquired a prodigious addition of territory, and an augmenta tion of subjects to the amount at least of three and twenty millions, by or 55 per cent. Less than it was thirteen years before.
