ABSTRACT

from The Expediency maintained of continuing the system by which the Trade and Government of India are now regulated, 1813, pp. 148–50. Robert Grant, the younger son of Charles Grant, is writing a tract in defence of the East India Company. Like many others of his time, he was confident of the Company’s ability to improve conditions in India, and, unlike an earlier generation such as Pownall, he approved of the limited imposition of European ideals.
