Excerpt from Notes on the Settlement or Colonization of British Subjects in India: With an Appendix of Proofs and Illustrations
Indeed, it is not too much to assert, that the very existence? Of the towns of Calcutta, Madras, and Bombay, still more of the settlements in the straits of Malacca, as ports of foreign commerce, has depended upon the class of persons, who, in former periods of the commercial history of India, used to be called Interlopers. At the close'of the last charter,~the total, exports and imports of these places was certainly short of thirteen million pounds per annum; they are, at present, pro bably not under twenty-six millions, or have been doubled in' the short period of twenty years - the commerce of the East India Company, with the exception of two or three articles still exported under pretext of making a remittance of terri~ torial revenue, having meanwhile altogether ceased.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the benefits of European settlement and investment to British India. The author posits that such influence has led to substantial commercial and technological advancements in the region, citing the rise of the cotton, indigo, opium, and sugar industries. Additionally, the author points to improvements in infrastructure and transportation, such as the rise of merchant shipping. The author contends that permanent European settlement would lead to further increases in capital and skilled labor, resulting in improved roads, bridges, canals, and other projects. The author argues that the presence of European settlers has also had a positive impact on the judicial system, leading to fairer trials and a reduction in arbitrary punishments.
