Scarce work advocating for the removal of the monopoly from the East-India Company. In particular the author pays attention to the long worn out arguments of the Directors of India that the monopoly is necessary for political control and without it India would fall into rebellion and destitution.

Scarce, only 7 UK institutional copies (BL, Edinburgh, Glasgow, LSE, National Library of Scotland, RAS, Senate House).

First edition; 8vo (21 x 13.5 cm); modern quarter red morocco, gilt rolled red cloth boards, spine lettered in gilt, all edges speckled red, a fine copy; [iv], 117 pp.
