Author Description

Excerpt from Considerations Respecting the Trade With China The occasional discussions in the Houses of Parliament, in past years, respecting the affairs of the east-india Company, have clearly shown that those affairs, and the important questions connected therewith, have engaged but a slender share of public attention. Even in the recent inquiries, which terminated in the year 1834, and after which Parliament threw open, from April 1834, to the British public the whole commercial intercourse with India and China, the same, or nearly the same, general indifference to the several subjects connected with those affairs, has been displayed.
