Book Overview

""A Series of Letters on the East India Question, Letter 1: Addressed to the Members of the Two Houses of Parliament"" is a book written by Henry Ellis in 1830. The book is a collection of letters that were addressed to the members of the British Parliament. The letters discuss the East India Question, which was a controversial issue in the early 19th century. The East India Company had been granted a monopoly on trade with India by the British government, but there were concerns about the company's control over India and the exploitation of its people. In the first letter, Ellis argues that the East India Company should be abolished and replaced with a new system of government in India. He suggests that the British government should take direct control of India and establish a system of justice and administration that would be fair to the Indian people. Ellis also discusses the economic benefits that would result from such a change, including increased trade and improved living conditions for the Indian population. Overall, ""A Series of Letters on the East India Question, Letter 1: Addressed to the Members of the Two Houses of Parliament"" is a thought-provoking and insightful analysis of a complex issue. It provides a valuable historical perspective on the relationship between Britain and India, and the challenges that were faced in the early years of British rule.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
