ABSTRACT
from British Museum, Add. MS. 38398, ff. 108–17. Since the passing of the Regulating Act in 1773 the government’s relations with the East India Company had largely been handled by John Robinson, Secretary to the Treasury. In 1778 Robinson set down on paper his recommendations for any future settlement with the Company. For the dating of the paper, see Sutherland, East India Company, pp. 337–8.
