I. &r:4. a INTRODUCTION. Amongst the early records of the East India Company none are of more interest than those which detail the proceedings of their Agents and Factors in the East, in their endeavours to establish factories and promote trade of the English direct with the several Native powers. In effecting this many difficulties had to be overcome, and the opposition of the Native traders, who naturally put every obstacle in the way of the diversion of their trade to other channels, had to be combated, as well as the more serious obstructions on the part of the Portuguese and Dutch to the establishment of trading stations in the East by the English. The seventeenth century was the time of greatest establishment of factories in the East, and may, on that account, be considered the " Factory Period " of the East India Company, the only territorial acquisitions obtained by them within that century being as follows : — 1639. Madraspatam (" Chineepatam," Fort St. George) ; 1668. Bombay ; 1690. Tegnapatam (Fort St. David) ; and 1694, Anjengo. After the union of the two East India Companies, at the beginning of the eighteenth century, the acquisitions of territory in the East became both more frequent and more extensive, and the subsequent years of the Company's existence may, therefore, not inappropriately be designated as the " Territorial Period." Most of the minor factories did not send home their proceedings to England, neither did they, as a rule, communicate directly with the East India Company, but only through the principal factories to which they were subordinate, — such as Bantam, Surat, Fort St. George, Bombay or Calcutta. In the following observations it is not intended to give details regarding those factories for which no separate records now exist at this Office ; whilst, with regard to the others, only some brief particulars will be given relative to their first establishment, and, when abolished, the dates at which they either ceased to be maintained as permanent trading stations, or were classed as Presidencies, from which time their Proceedings are embodied in the series of " Presidency Records." In the establishment of factories at the various commercial ports visited by their ships, the East India Company did but follow an immemorial custom, handed down from the time of the Phoenicians, if not from still earlier days, and that plan of conducting their business was resolved upon at the very commencement of their organization. At a meeting of the Court on the 10th February 1600-1 the Du'ectors " proceading to establish and enacte certain Decrees and lawes fitt for the " present occasion, and to be vsed as directions for the guiding of the trade and *' traffique lielonging to y" present voyage, nowe to be sett forth Do at this assemblie " ordeine and Decree thes severall ordiuaunces to be holden and kept as standing " ordiuaunces to be used in the voyages w"'out alteration or chaunging the teno'' whereof " hereaftci- easue vidett " — of which ordinances the following is an extract: — " And I iirthcrmore yt is ordered that yf upon the deliu''ies of his ma''"' Ires to the *' prinnce-; if those places where o'' shipps shall arrive the generall & factors shalbe *' peaceaiilic received & entertayned as m'"chaunts to commerce & traffique w"* the " people ' ' !iose Cuntries or places, & be secured & warranted hereafter to frequente 5433. b " & visite those partes. Then yt is ordayned & decreed that there shalbe selected *' out of the yongest sorte of the factors, or others entertayned or voluntarily " suffred to goe in the voiadge such and soe many of the aptest & towardest of " them as o'' principall m'chaunt shall thincke meete, & -w"^ shall have best approved " themselfes fitt for the imploym* of the Companie, to resyde and abide in the saide " places where they shalbe soe peaceablie received yf they may be permitted " therevnto talcinge sufficient & carefull order for the defrayinge & supplyinge of " there Chardge, vntyll those places shalbe hereafter visited by another fleete sent " fro hence. And leaveinge w**" them such advyse & direction for ther better " informacon howe to carrie themselves in those places, as by the good direction of " o"" principall merchaunt w"' thadvyse of suche as he shall consulte w*''all thereof '' shalbe thought meete and as tyme & experience of those places shall directe " them whilst the shippes Do lye in thes partes." Instructions to the above effect were embodied in the commission issued to James Lancaster for the Company's first voyage, but no special orders were therein given regarding the place or places at which factors should be left, though he probably received verbal instructions on that point. In the Commissions to the Commanders of subsequent' expeditions, they were specifically instructed as to the ports at which they were to call and settle factories. The first factory established by the Company was at Bantam, and they soon spread their operations over the neighbouring islands. On the third voyage a visit was paid to Amboyna for the purchase of cloves. A little later they took possession of Polaroon and Eosengin, but the animosity of the Dutch raised every possible obstruction to their successful trading. The English and Dutch Companies levied war upon each other in these parts, which state of things culminated in the massacre of the members of the English Eactory at Amboyna, on the 27th Eebruary 1623. By this time the Company had established factories at Achin, Tiku, and Priaman, in Sumatra ; at Bantam and Jakatra, in Java ; at Sukadana and Banjarmasin, in Borneo ; at Amboyna, Polaroon, Rosengin, and Macassar ; also in Siam and at Patania on the Malay Peninsula ; at Firando in Japan ; whilst in India they had a factory at Surat, with subordinate agencies at Gogo, Ahmedabad, Cambay, and Ajmir, and factories at Calicut, Cranganore, Patna, Agra, and Masulipatam. In a more westerly direction they had established trade at Jask and Gombroon, and at Mocha in the Red Sea. In making these last-named acquisitions the East India Company clearly recognised — what had at an earlier period been discovered by the Portuguese — that if they desired to obtain a monopoly of the Indo-European trade, they must be in a position to dominate, if not to destroy, those branches of it which passed respectively by way of the Red Sea and tlie Persian Gulf to the Mediterranean ports. Notwithstanding its exclusive privileges, the East India Company was not permitted to pursue its trade to the East uninterruptedly. In 1635, Courteu's Association obtained a charter from Charles I., under which agencies were settled at Goa, Baticola, Carwar, Achin, and Rajapur, and this had the effect of greatly depressing the trade of the former Company, until at last, in 1649, the two Companies were united. In the early days of trade with India, it seems to have been customary to send home two copies of letters by different routes ; the originals appear generally to have been sent by ship, whilst duplicates were transmitted via the Persian Gulf and Aleppo. Unfortunately, in a great number of cases, the duplicates have been preserved and the originals lost or destroyed. As giving some idea of the curiosities contained in the records of this early period, I may instance that in 1675 the skeleton of a mermaid was sent home, which the Court presented to His Majesty. vu Towards the end of the 17th century the Company had been trying hard to get their privileges confirmed by the House of Commons, as a resolution had been passed by that body in 1693 that it was the right of all Englishmen to trade to the East Indies, or any part of the world, unless prohibited by Act of Parliament. The Company therefore proposed to advance 700,000^. at 4 per cent, interest for the public service, on condition of their privileges being confirmed by Parliament, but were outbid by a number of merchants who offered 2,000,000/. at 8 per cent, provided they might have the exclusive trade to India vested in them, and should not be obliged to trade as a joint stock unless they should afterwards desire to be incorporated for that purpose. The original list of svibscribers to the above amount is still in existence. At a Court of Directors of the new Company, held the 8th November 1698 at Mercers' Hall, two months and three days after its formation, a disposition was expressed to agree to a union with the old Company upon reasonable terms ; and it was agreed that, upon ascertaining what proposals the old Company would make, " this Coiurt will then endeavour to gett a full authority to treat with them in order to attain a happy conclusion." Accordingly, an agreement was come to about the beginning of 1702, the terms of which were embodied in three deeds, all dated the 22nd July of that year. The several charters and deeds by which this union was effected are still in existence. Very little now remains of the home records of the new or English East India Company. Indeed, as yet I have only been able to find two books, in one of which the following curious statement occurs : — " At a Court of Directors held at Skinners'- " hall on Wednesday, the 19th April 1699, the Court was informed that there are " engines and paddles to move ships when they are becalmed, and it was moved that " one .might be sent at the Company's charge by the ' Gosfreight ' or the • Rook.' " Ordered — That one of the said engines be provided by Mr. Shepheard upon the " Company's account." Until the completion of the union between the two Companies, each Company conducted its own business, besides which a joint committee was formed entitled the " Committee of Managers." There are three volumes of the minutes of proceedings of this joint committee, extending from the 31st July 1702 to the 18th March 1709. The first Court of Directors of the United East India Company was held on the 23rd March 1709, at which date the union may be said to have been completed. With this union a change also came over tbe character of the Company itself. Up to this time it had established factories and developed trade throughout the East ; now it was destined to enter upon a period of conquests. Before this date it had added materially to the wealth of the nation by increasing its commerce ; but it was now to add to its political importance by an increase of its territorial possessions. The '• O.C." * collection contains letters and proceedings relating to all the Company's factories, but from some of them there exist elsewhere other documents, not infrequently of striking interest. Particulars relating to several of the minor factories will be found principally in the proceedings of those to which they were subordinate. Thus, in the records from Bantam, Batavia, Surat, Bombay, Fort St. George, and Calcutta, each of which at one time or another became the chief presidency town, will be found particulars of all the minor factories, in addition to which, however, some of the more important of these latter seem to have also corresponded direct with Court of Directors, and to have sent home to them copies of • The full title of this Collection, which is included .amongst the Factory Records, is " Oriifinal ■Correspondence from India, with collateral documents, originating at any places between England and Japan." These documents extend from 1602 to 1709. rill their proceedings. These direct communications, are, however, sadly defective. The following is a list of the Company's several settlements and factories at the end of the seventeenth century : — St. Helena. Persia — Gombroon. Shiraz. Ispahan. Amadavad (Ahmedabad). Broach. Surat. Swally. Bombay. Karwar. Anjengo. Tellicherri. Calicut. Porto Novo. Cuddalore. Fort St. David. Chingee. Port St. George. Petapoli. Metchlepatam (Masulipatam). The above were handed over by the London East India Company to the United Company at the union of the former with the English East India Company. At the same time the latter handed over the following factories which they had established, viz. : — Surat. Bay of Bengal. Metchlepatam. Pulo Condore. Madapollam. Borneo. The following places had by this time, for one reason or another, ceased to be occupied by the London East India Company :— Mocha. Java — J ask. Bantam. Gogo. Batavia. Cambav. Borneo — Ajmir. Sukadana. Banjarmasin. Madapollam. Vizagapatam. Orissa. Balasor. Fort William. Chuttanuttee (Calcutta). Hugli. Dacca. Kasimbazar. Maldah. Bajamaul. Patna. Lucknow. Agra. Sumatra — Fort York (Bencoolen). Indrapore. Tryamong, Sillebar. Cochin China — Tonquin. Cranganor. Tanjore. Conimere. Pulicat. Armagaon. Golconda. P;i na. ]\i iay Peninsula — Patani. f" atra — Achin. Tiku. Priaman. Iambi. Macassar. Amboyna. Polaroon. Bosengin. Siam. China — Amoy. Tywan. Macao. Canton. Japan — Firando. IX At tlie union of the two Companies tlie several minor factories were made subordinate to the three Presidencies of Bombay, Madras, and Bencoolen (Sumatra) respectively. By a Commission, dated 30th December 1709, Fort "William in Bengal was also constituted a Presidency. The Factory Records included in the accompanying list formed part of the Old Records on which Sir George Birdwood submitted a Report in 1878. The twenty-seven combined volumes which contained consultations from various factories, dated between the years 1623 and 1708, have been broken up and their contents re- arranged — together with the "'Injured" and "Damaged" Papers, the "Factory Diaries and Consultations," and other documents — under the headings of the several factories to which they refer. In the following brief introduction to these old Factory Records, as well as in the annexed list of them, the alphabetical oj-der has been adopted rather than the chronological order of the establishment of the several factories, as affording greater convenience for purpose of reference. Report on the Old Factories and their Records. Anjengo. — Anjengo is situated on a strip of sandy soil, on the coast of Travancore, 72 miles north-west of Cape Comorin. Anjengo was formerly an important place of trade ; it was frequented at an early date by the Portuguese, and subsequently by the Dutch. Its exports consisted principally of pepper, and calicoes of an excellent quality. It has now declined into a mere fishing town. In consequence of the obstruction caused by the Dutch to the East India Company's trade at Karwar and Rajapur, the attention of the Chief Factor at Calicut was directed to the desirabUity of finding other places where they could obtain pepper and cassia lignum (cassia lignea, a kind of coarse cinnamon). The Queen Ashure, of Attinga, had more than once made an offer to the English to permit them to settle a factory in her country. This, after some preliminary investigations, was now accepted, and in March 1688, with the consent of the Queen, two factories were established, the one at Retturah (Vittoor) and the other at Brinjaon (ViUenjum). The Dutch offered the most strenuous obstruction to the settlement of the English in Attinga, but, on the 29th July 1694, the Queen signed an Ola under which she granted to the Company the hill of the Tonges, in Anjengo, with permission to erect a fort thereon, together with warehouses and residences for their factors ; and she also granted to them all the pepper in the Attinga country that they might contract and pay for at a certain fixed rate.* The English fort at Anjengo was completed some time in 1697. During the wars of the Karnatic, Anjengo was used as a depot for military stores, and as the point from which the first news of outward bound ships reached Madras. The trade had, however, almost completely fallen off. These advantages served only a temporary purpose, and in 1792 the town was reported to be in a hopeless state of decline. In 1809, during the disturbances in Travancore, the roadstead of Anjengo was completely blockaded ; in the following year the post of Commercial Resident was abolished, and the station was made subordinate to the Political Resident at Trevandrum.f In 1813 the Factory at Anjengo was finally abolished. Anjengo is celebrated as having been the birthplace of Robert Ormc, the historian, who was born there in 1728. His father. Dr. Alexander Orme, was chief of the Factory from 1723 to 1728. Anjengo was also the birthplace of Elizabeth Sclater, daughter of Mr. May Sclater, who was appointed a writer for Bombay in January 1736. She married Mr. Daniel Draper, at Bombay, on the 28th July 1758, and was Sterne's, and the Abbe Raynal's, " Eliza." She died at Bristol in the year 1778, aged 35. * O.C., Nos. 5915, 5921, 5922, and 6012. ■f Imperial Gazetteer of India. 5433. A number of letters to and from Anjengo will be found in the " O. C." Collection of Records. The Factory at Anjengo was, at first, placed under the President of Surat, but it was subsequently made subordinate to Bombay. By a Despatch of the 28th February 1727, the Court ordered that all proceedings of that Factory were to be entered in a Consultation Book, which was to be sent to Bombay to be brought into their General Books in order to be periodically sent home. This course was continued until 1775, from which date copies of the Diary and Consultations of the Factory were sent home separately. Those now extant are continuous from the 4th January 1775 to the 31st December 1804, with the exception of those for 1799 and 1800, which are missing. Besides these there is a Political Diary extending from 21st August 1796 to the 27th December 1797 ; an imperfect collection of Miscellaneous Letters, &c., from the 9th September 1704 to 17th December 1769 ; and a short treatise on Attinga dated in 1727. Balasor. — The principal port of the district of the same name. It is situated on the Burabalaug river about seven miles from the coast in a straight line. Balasor was at one time an important place of trade, and in one of the early records of this Office it is designated as the port town of Bengala.* The principal articles of export were rice, sugar, silk, saltpeti-e. The East India Company's ships appear to hare traded at Balasor as early as 1633. On the 2nd February 1635 the President at Surat received from Agra the King's firman for liberty of trade in the whole of Bengal, but restraining ,the Company's shipping only to the ])ort of Pipli. Probably upon the streno-th of this firman most authorities have asserted that the East India Company's first factory in Bengal was at Pipli ; but I can find no confirmation of the statement that they ever had a factory there. The Portuguese, however, did have a factory at Pipli. It is certain that about this time the Company had a connection at Balasor, but trade there was greatly obstructed by the Dutch, insomuch that it was necessary for the English to carry on their business in armed boats."" The right to establish a factory at Balasor was granted to the Company in 1642 ; and in 1645 and 1646, in return, it is alleged, for medical services rendered to the Great Mogul, Shah Jehan,. and to his viceroy Sultan Shuja, the Nawab of Bengal, by Surgeon Gabriel Boughton, of the Company's ship " Hopewell," additional privileges were conceded to the Company in respect of theu' factories at Hugli and Balasor. In 1657 the Agency at Balasor was made subordinate to the Factory at Hugli.f Balasor was now fortified and the English were thus enabled to maintain their footing there during the long struggles between the Afghans and the Moghuls, and subsequently between the Moghuls and the Mahrattas, for supremacy in Orissa. About the year 1700 the mouth of the Burabalaug river began to fill up, and eventually the coast line advanced, leaving Balasor inland. The commerce of Balasor and its importance were eventually transferred to Calcutta. A number of letters from Balasor are included in the O. C. Collection. There is only one volume of separate Balasor Records, consisting of the Diary and Consultations of that Factory between December 1679 and March 1687. Bombay. — The first visit of the English to Bombay appears to have been in September 1626, when both Dutch and English fleets repaired thither, landed some * O. C. 15.36. ■f Letters from the Court, 31st December 1657, 27th February and 22n(l March 1658. men, and set on fire all that could be burnt in a small fort and town adjoining. Thirty years later the President at Surat realised the importance of the place, and, writing to the Court, obserred that at Bombay is no ill air, but a pleasant fruitful soil, and excellent harbour, but, he added, it is impossible for the English alone to fortify there seeing the Portuguese, whose country it is, will with their utmost force prevent it.* In 1659, the President at Surat had an examination made of the west coast of India, with the view of discovering some strong place that could be fortified, and recommended to the Court the following places, viz., Danda Rajapore, Bombay, and Vassava, " hopeing you will please to obtaine a Command from the King of " Portugall to the Govern', of India for the free residing or possession of the said " places, they being so convenient for your affaires. "f Bombay island was ceded to the English Crown in 1661, as part of the dower of the Infanta Catharine on her marriage with Charles II., and, in 1668, the King handed it over to the East India Company on payment of an annual rent of 10^. In 1687 the chief c(mtrol of all the Company's possessions in India was transferred from Surat to Bombay, which was erected into an independent Presidency iu 1708 on the amalgamation of the London with the English East India Company. In 1773 Bombay was placed in a position of qualified subordination to the Governor General at Calcutta. The Bombay Records, included in the Factory Series, extend from 1669 to 1710, and comprise, besides a few early papers relating to disagreements between Deputy Governor Henry Young and his subordinates (18th Eebruary to 14th September 1669), a slightly defective series of Consultations extending from the 18th March 1670 to the 15th May 1704 ; copies of Letters despatched (also imperfect) from 8th March 1670 to the 4th January 1710 ; and copies of Letters received from March 1670 to April 1704. In this last series are several important gaps. Subsequent letters and proceedings relating to Bombay will be found in the Presidency series of Records. With regard to Bombay Consultations, these are continuous from 1704, but in the Letters received from and despatched to Bombay there is a serious gap which is only partially filled by documents in other Collections. Thus the regular series of Letters received from Bombay, subsequently to 1704, commences only with 1760 and of Despatches to Bombay with 1753. Borneo. — The principal ports of Borneo were at Sambas, Landak, and Sukadana on the west of the Island, and Banjarmassin on the south, all of which places are now included in the Dutch territories. The principal products of tbe country are described as " fine diamonds, camphor, the best ginger, mirabolans, sugar, soap, bigars, " victualls abundantly, orrenges, lemonds and rice, sinnomon but not good, turtle " shells."! The first reference to Borneo, in the Records here, occurs in a letter from John Saris to the Company, dated the 4th December 1608, wherein he states, " I have many " times certified your worships of the trade the Flemings follow to Soocadanna, " which place yieldeth great store of diamonds, and of tlieir manner of dealing for " them for gold principally which comes from Baniermassen." In consequence of this representation a pinnace was ordered to proceed to Sukadana (in 1612), when an investment was made in diamonds§ and a factory settled, which was placed in charge of Augustin Spalding. || In April 1614 a factory was established at Sambas, • O.

Xll and in the following year trade was opened with Banjarmasin* In the same month a vessel was sent to Landak with the view of establishing a factory there, but the Dyaks, instigated by the Dutch and Chinese, refused to allow it, or, indeed, to trade with the English.f Eight years later (1622) the Matram sent an army and surprised and ransacked Sukadana ; Edward Pike, the factor, was killed by an explosion of gunpowder, and the following year the factory was abandoned,! ^^^ tli"s appears to have ended for a time the English trade with Borneo. In 1699 the English East India Company opened up a trade with Banjarmasin and established a factory there. A few years later (1704) permission was obtained from the King for the erection of a fortification for the protection of the Company's establishment there, and after the union of the two East India Companies a strong factory was erected, but on the 27th June 1707 the natives attacked the English settlement and the factory was withdrawn. In 1738 trade was re-opcned at Banjarmasin, but owing to the opposition of the Dutch, who in May 1747 blockaded the place, it was again abandoned. In January 1761 a treaty was concluded with the King of Sulu, under which the Island of Balambangan, off the extreme north coast of Borneo, was granted to the English, and in 1771 an expedition was sent from Bombay to take possession of the place. But on the 26th February 1775 a band of Sulus captured the fort at Balambangan and carried away a large amount of booty, whereupon the factory was removed to Labuan, an island off the north-west coast of Borneo. In 1803 Balambangan was again occupied by the East India Company, but they withdrew their establishment in the following year. The Records relating to Borneo Avill be found principally in the 0. C. Eecords and in those relating to Java. The only separate volume of Borneo Records, which includes papers between 1648 and 1814, contains documents dated between 1771 and 1779 relating to Balambangan, and two documents, dated in 1812, referring to a treaty with the Sultan of Banjarmasin, whereby, on the retirement of the Dutch, he handed over to the East India Company all his sovereign rights in a large portion of his dominions. Broach. — ^The chief town of the district of the same name in Gujarat, situated on the right bank of the Narbada river, about 30 miles from its mouth. Its principal products were indigo, calicoes, cotton yarn, and sword blades ; it was considered the chief place in India for the last-named article and for baftas.§ On the 3rd November 1614, at a Council held at Swally, it was determined to appoint a Factor for Broach and other places, and accordingly John Oxwicke and another were sent there. || Under date the 22nd July 1616 Sir Thomas Roe obtained a firman from the Emperor Jehangir for residence and freedom of trade at this town,*[i and a factory was established there. The factory at Broach was made subordinate to Surat, and subsequently to Bombay. On the union of the new English Company with the original London Company, Broach is mentioned as one of the latter Company's factories in the Bombay Presidency. The only separate Factory Records relating to Broach now extant here comprise the Diary and Consultations from 1st January 1775 to 30th December 1781 ; Revenue * O. C. 327. t O.

Burdwan — A division of the Bengal Presidency. Burdwan can hardly be con- sidered a factory, but the few separate records which exist for that district could not conveniently have been included in any other series than that of the Factory Records. In consideration of the English agreeing to assist the Nabob, the latter, by a Treaty dated the 27th September 1760, assigned to the Company the lands of Burdwan, Midnapore, and Chittagong. This was subsequently confirmed by a firman from the King Shah Alam under date the 30th September 1765.* The only Burdwan Records consist of the Proceedings of the Provincial Coxmcil of Revenue from the 16th May 1774 to the 30th December 1779. Calcutta and Sutanati. — During the administration of Shaista Khan the English in Bengal were subjected to much oppression, and their factors had to submit to considerable extortions, until, in 1685, it was resolved to seek redress by force of arms. These hostilities exasperated the Emperor Aurangzeb, who ordered that the English should be expelled from his dominions. The Company's factories were seized and their affairs were brought to the brink of ruin. Job Charnock, the Agent, retired from Hugli, with the English factory there, and established it at Sutanati, about 26 miles lower down the river from Hugli town. The new settle- ment gradually extended itself to Kalikata (Calcutta) and Govindpur, and in 1689 it was determined to make Calcutta the headquarters of the Company's Bengal factories. In 1696 Fort "William was built, and under a grant from Azamu-sh-Shan, grandson of Aurangzeb and Governor of Bengal, dated in 1698, the Company were permitted to purchase the towns of Sutanati, Govindpur, and Calcutta. The Calcutta Factory Records comprise an imperfect set of Diaries and Consultations from 16th July 1690 to 22nd December 1708 ; copies of Letters despatched (imperfect) from the l7th July 1690 to the 21st August 1705 ; and copies of Letters received (also imperfect) from June 1690 to November 1704. The Bengal Presidency Proceedings {see Presidency Records) date from 1704. Cambay. — The town of Cambay, in the Province of Gujarat, is situated at the head of the Gulf of Cambay, on the north of the estuary of the River Mahi, Its principal articles of export were cloth, tapestry, satins, and other goods, quilts, carpets, bloodstones, and other jewels. f In Mr. Foulke Grevil's Report (10th March 1600) on the Memorial of the promoters of the East India Company for permission to trade to the East Indies, it is remarked that the kingdom of Cambaia is the most fruitful of all India. J King James gave the Company letters to the King of Cambay, amongst others, but the Court at that time entertained small hope of trade there because of the Portuguese who commanded the waters in those parts. § The " Ascension " visited Cambay in 1609, but met with opposition from the Portuguese|| ; but on the 21st October 1612, Articles were agreed upon between the Governor of Ahmedabad on behalf of the Great Mogul, and Thomas Best on behalf of the King and the East India Company, for settling a trade and factory in Cambay and other parts of the Mogul's dominions.^ * Aitchison's Treaties, Vol. I., pp. 47 aud 59. t O.

The factory there was subordinate to Surat and subsequently to Bombav, and the only separate records from thence now existing here are comprised in a single volume which contains the proceedings of the Resident from the 1st January 1804 to the 29th June 1807. Cape of Good Hope. — Table Bay was much used by the outgoing vessels of both the English and Dutch East India Companies as a place for refreshing on the way to India. In the year 1620, Captains Andrew Shilling and Humphrey Eitzherbert, on their outward voyage, met a Dutch fleet in Table Bay, and hearing that they intended forming a settlement there, resolved to anticipate them by taking immediate and formal possession of the place in the name of King James, which they carried into execution without molestation from the Dutch officers.f No further steps, however, appear to have been taken in the matter, and the Cape continued to be indis- criminately frequented, for the purpose of obtaining refreshments, by mariners of all nations, though without any attempt at colonization or settlement, till the year 1652. In that year an expedition was sent out from Holland which reached the Cape on the 6th April and took possession of it on behalf of the Dutch Government. Against this the East India Company protested, as the place had already been annexed by the English, but the Dutch continued in possession until 1795, when an English fleet, under Sir G. K. Elphinstone, and land forces under Sir Alured Clarke, took possession of the place in order to secure it against the Erench for the Prince of Orange. The Cape of Good Hope was now constituted a British possession, and General Craig was appointed the first Governor. Under the Treaty of Peace that was signed at Amiens in 1801, the Cape was ordered to be restored to the Dutch, and it was handed over to them on the 20th Eebruary 1803. Hostilities having recommenced in Europe, an expedition under Sir David Baird retook the Cape on the 18th January 1806, and the Colony was finally ceded to England at the Congress of Vienna in 1815. Mr. John Pringle, who left St. Helena in the " Orpheus " which joined Sir G. K. Elphinstone's expedition to the Cape, appears to have remained there as the East India Company's Agent, when the Colony was taken possession of by the English, and he continued in that capacity until his death in June 1815. The earliest records in the Cape of Good Hope series consists of some unimportant letters from Mr. Jochem van Plettenburg, second in command at the Cajie, addressed to the East India Company, and dated in 1773 and 1774. Next, there is a description and drawing of Croem or Crontz Biviere Bay in south-east Africa, by Lieutenant Henry Pemberton ; and after this follow Mr, Pringle 's letters. The collection comprises altogether twenty-four volumes, which contain Miscellaneous Correspondence from 1773 to August 1823 ; copies of Letters from the Cape to the Court of Directors, from the 4th April 1795 to the 16th March 1831 : from the Cape to various parts, 3rd June 1808 to 30th April 1836 ; and Letters received at the Cape between the 31st May 1808 and the 30th April 1836. In 1835, upon the East Indian trade being • 0. C. 261. t 0. C. 897 and 907 ; also Factory Records (.Miscellaneous;, Vol. 10. XV thrown open, the Company ceased to have any agent of their own at the Cape, but such services as they required were performed by commercial houses already established there. Celebes. — The principal port of Celebes was Macassar, where the Dutch had, at an early date, established a factory.* Macassar was formerly a mart of considerable importance for spice and other imports, receiving cloves, nutmegs, and mace from the Moluccas ; pepper from Banjarmasiu ; sapanwood from Bima (Socmbawa) ; sandal- wood from Bima and Timore ; cotton cloths from India proper ; wax, benzoin and elephants' teeth from Camboja ; slaves, gumlac, tortoise shells, and cassia lignum from various parts ; sugar, green ginger and China-roots from China, &c. Its chief indigenous exports were rice, arrack, native gold, and some tortoise shells. In October 1613 Peter Floris sent some cloths to Macassar, which was, it is believed, the first instance of the English trading there. The Company's ship "Darling" having failed to settle a factory at Amboyna, Captain Jourdain proceeded to Macassar, where he arrived on the 16th July 1613, and established a factory which he left in charge of George Cokayne. In the following year the Kino- gave permission to Cokayne to erect a house at Macassar.f Cokayne was succeeded by George Chauncey, who, in the absence of the other factors, abandoned the factory, but it was re-established by Captain Ball in 1615 who again placed Cokayne in charge of it. J In July 1667 the Dutch, having a quarrel with the King, attacked the forts at Macassar, which they captured, whereupon the King was forced to agree to a peace dictated by the enemy. Under this treaty the Dutch seized the English Company's servants and property and carried them away to Batavia. Although the Court desii-ed to re-settle their factory at Macassar, it appears that, owing to the obstruction of the Dutch, this was never effected. The records relating to Macassar will be found mostly in the O. C. Collection, and in the Java Records. The one separate volume relating to Celebes contains extracts from these and other documents arranged as materials for a history of the Company's factory at Macassar. Ceylon. — The first intercourse of the English with Ceylon took place in 1762. The King of Kandy having sent to Madras to solicit the assistance of the English to protect him and his country from the oppression and usurpation of the Dutch, Mr. John Pybus was sent to treat with the King and to make such observations on the country as might tend to promote the future advantage of the Company with regard to the trade on that Island. This embassy, however, led to no practical result- In 1781 Mr. Hugh Boyd was sent on a somewhat similar mission, which also ended as the previous one had done. On the rupture between Great Britain and Holland, in 1795, a force was sent against the Dutch possessions in Ceylon, ^vhere the opposition offered was so slight that by the following year the whole of their forts were in the hands of the English Commander. On this occasion, Mr. 11. Andrews was accredited to the Court of Kandy by the Madras Government, and joined the forces which captured Trincomali. At first the island was placed under the care of the East India Company, but, in 1802, the whole seaboard of Ceylon became, by the Treaty of Amiens, a possession of the British Crown. ♦ O. C. 119. t O. C. 142, 286. X 0. C. 284, 287, 294. XVI The Ceylon Records of this OflBce comprise reports on the three missions above referred to ; proceedings of a committee of investigation into the affairs of Ceylon in 1797-98 ; proceedings and correspondence of the Governor between the 12th October 1798 and the 18th September 1802, and other miscellaneous documents between 1798 and January 1806. China and Japan. — The eighth voyage set out by the East India Company in 1611 , under the command of Captain Saris, included a visit to Japan, for which purpose a small vessel named the " Clove " was specially assigned. This vessel, with Captain Saris on board, reached Firaudo on the 12th June 1613, where he established a factory •with 'Six. Cocks as Chief. Erom Eirando factors were sent to the neighbouring islands and ports, including Nangasaki, Edo, Osaca, Sh]"ongo, Miaco, and Tushma. The Japan factories were, however, closed in 1623, as they afforded neither profit nor expectation of profit. Trade with China was attempted from both Eirando and Tywan, but considerable obstructions were thrown in the way of its successful accomplishment by the Dutch. In June 1672 Mr. William Gyfford was sent from Bantam to open up a trade with Tonquin. In this he succeeded, and established a factory there, which, however, did not prove very successful, and it was accordingly dissolved on the 30th November 1697. Up to about the year 1680 the Company had carried on a China trade in country vessels, freighted by the Council at Bantam, but they then determined to employ ships freighted from England direct, as well for the China as for the India trade ^ Several unsuccessful attempts were made at various dates to establish a factory at Chusan, but the Company had to be content with carrying on trade at Canton through the instrumentality of an official called the Emperor's merchant. By 1715 the intercourse with Canton had assumed somewhat of a regular trade. Ships were despatched to China at stated seasons, and supercargoes were appointed to each ship, who were to live, when at Canton, in one house, to keep but one table, and to meet at least twice a week to consult for the general benefit of the Company's affairs. In 1751 the Court suggested the expediency of hiring a factory at Canton for a term of years instead of pursuing the expensive practice of hiring one every season, and from about this time may be dated the establishment of a factory at Canton. The earliest China and Japan Records will be found in the O. C. Collection and among the Java Records. Those contained in the present Collection comprise thirteen volumes of extracts, entitled " China Materials, &c.," extending from 1596 to 1725 ; seven volumes of miscellaneous documents dated between 1614 and 1815 ; China Supercargoes Diaries from 1721 to 1751, and Canton Consultations, &c., from 1751 to 1843 ; Letters from China 1823 to 1834 ; Despatches to China 1829 to 1832, and various miscellaneous documents. Conimere. — This place is on the Coromandel Coast, about 13 miles north of Pondicherry. In 1681 the Madras Government sent to the Subahdar of Porto Novo to treat about a Cowle for settling a factory at Conimere,* the principal export from which place was cloth. Before this, the Company appears to have traded with the place, and Conimere merchants frequented ^Madras. The necessary permission having been received from the Subahdar, some factors were sent from Madras to settle a factory there,| which was effected at the end of October 1682. In July 1688 the factories of Cuddalore and Porto Novo were transferred to Conimere, and the latter place was abandoned as a factory on the purchase of Port St. David in 1698. * Madras Cons., lltli January 1681. f Madras Cons., 9th Oclober 1682. XVll Particulars relating to this factory -vnll be found principally in the Madras Records, but a few separate Conimere Records exist which comprise Consultations of the Conimere Factory between the 26th October 1682 and the 28th December 1685 ; copies of Letters despatched between the 2nd January 1684 and the 28th December 1685, and copies of Letters received for the year 1684. Cuddalore and Forto Novo. — Cuddalore is a town in the South Arcot District, about 116 miles south of Madras, In 1682 the Company opened negotiations with the Khan of Jinjee to settle here and at Porto Novo. The first building was erected at Cuddalore in 1683, and in the following year a formal lease was obtained for the site of the port and the old fortress. During the next ten years trade increased so rapidly that the Company erected Port St. David for the protection of the place. On the fall of Madras in 1746 the British administration withdrew to Cuddalore, which place remained the headquarters of the Presidency until 1752, when the Government returned to Madi-as. In 1755 Clive was in command at Cuddalore. In 1768 the French occupied the town, and stormed and destroyed the fort ; but in 1760, after the battle of Wandiwash, the British regained possession. In 1782 it again fell into the hands of the French, but was formally restored to the British in 1785, and in. 1801 it was included in the cession of the Karnatie. These factories were subordinate to that of Fort St. George. The separate records comprise the Commission obtained by the Company for settling factories in the Jinjee country, besides some letters and Consultations for the years 1683 to 1687. Dacca. — Dakha (so called from the dakh, or Butea frondosa, trees in the neighbourhood) is situated on the north bank of the Buriganga river. This place was celebrated for its muslins. Besides the English, the Dutch and French had factories here. The East India Company's factory at Dacca was established about 1666. The Company greatly fostered the manufacture of the Dacca muslins, but their doom was sealed by the introduction, in 1785, of the mule jenny, and the imposition of a heavy protective duty on Indian muslins. In consequence, the exportation of Dacca muslins to this country gradually fell off, until it ceased altogether in 1817, when the Company's Commercial Residency at Dacca was abolished. Particulars of the Dacca Factory will be found in the 0. C. Collection, and in the Balasor and Calcutta Records. The separate Dacca Records consist of copies of Consultations between the 28th October 1678 and the 21st December 1779. Dinajpur. — One of the districts of Bengal which came into the possession of the East India Company when the rest of Bengal passed under British rule in 1765. The Dinajpur separate records do not properly belong to the Factory series, but they have, for convenience of classification, been included with it ; they consist of Proceedings of the Provincial Council of Revenue for the years 1774 to 1778 inclusive. Egi/pt and the Bed Sea. — In November 1610 Sir Henry Middleton, in command of the sixth voyage, was unsuccessful in an attempt to trade at Mocha. He was at first weU received, but was shortly afterwards attacked and taken prisoner, and all the goods landed were confiscated.* In May 1618, however, Captain Andrew Shilling obtained a firman from the Governor for freedom of trade, and for the establishment of factories at Sana, Ties, Mocha, Aden, or any other places in the * O. C. 72. 6133. e XVUl Sultan's dominions.* A factory was accordingly established at Mocha the same year, but this appears to have been neutralized by the opposition of the Guzerattis.f The trade, however, subsequently revived, but it does not appear to have been at any time of much importance. In the early days of this trade the exports from Mocha consisted principally of coral, but the place subsequently became the great emporium for coffee. In 1752, the factory was given up, J and the trade at Mocha was sub- sequently managed by Supercargoes. Mocha eventually was made a Residency, and in more recent years an Agency. At various times the East India Company appointed Agents at Mocha, Cairo, Suez, and Alexandria, the correspondence with whom forms the principal part of the Egypt and Red Sea Records. The Mocha Eactory Records appear for the most part in the O. C. Collection, and in the first volume of the Egypt and Red Sea Eactory Records. Papers relating to the Mocha Agency begin as early as March 1644, after which there is a gap until 1710, and they go down to January 1828, but there are many gaps and the collection is evidently very imperfect. After this come a number of papers containing correspon- dence regarding overland routes through Syria and Egypt ; Mr. Baldwin's attempts to open up communication with India through Egypt ; and French negotiations for trade in that country, &c. Another miscellaneous volume contains papers relating to the occupation of Perim in 1799 ; the mission of Sir Home Popham to Arabia in 1801 ; the expedition from India to Egypt in 1801 ; and Letters from Lord Elgin at Constantinople on the overland conveyance of Despatches, Egyptian affairs, &c., 1800-03. The remainder of this series comprises Correspondence between 1819 and 1870 with the various Agents at Constantinople, Cairo, and other places in Egypt. Fort St. David (Tegnapatam or Devanapatam) is situated on the left bank of the mouth of the Guddelam river. This place which contained a fort was purchased from Rama Rajah, a son of Sivaji, in 1690. On the 18th December in that year, President Yale succeeded in obtaining a firman, confirming to the English all their factories in the Jinjee country. On the capture of Madras by the French in 1746, the Company's Agent at this station assumed the control of all the Company's possessions in Southern India, and successfully resisted an attack made by Dupleix on the settlement. In 1756 Clive was appointed Governor. In 1758 it was invested by sea and land by the French and, after a short siege, surrendered on the 2nd June, when the fortifications were demolished. It was afterwards included in Cuddalore and its dependencies. The Fort St. David Records consist of copies of Consultations for 11th February and 24th September 1690; 3rd January 1696 to 22nd December 1712; 3rd January 1723 to 31st December 1756 ; and letters from 27th September 1692 to 31st July 1759. Fort St. George (Madras). — In March 1639, Mr. Francis Day, chief of the settle- ment at Armagaon, obtained from the representative of the Hindu power of Vijayauagar, a grant of the site of land on which Madras now stands. A factory, with some slight fortifications, was at once constructed, and the factors at Armagaon were removed to it. It was at first made subordinate to Bantam, but in 1653 it was raised to the rank of a Presidency. This was the first territorial British possession in India. In 1746 Madras was taken by the French, but it was restored to the English by the treaty of Aix-la-Chapelle in 1748. • O. C. 648. t O. C. 681, 831, 950. J Bombay Con«., 22nd Seiitember 1752. SIX The Fort St. George Factory Records comprise a somewhat defective series of Consultations between the 31st March 1655 and the 27th December 1704; copie of Letters despatched between the 2nd January 1661 and the 22nd December 1704 (imperfect) ; Correspondence with the Nawab of Golconda, February 1669 to January 1672 ; copies of Letters received (also imperfect) from January 1672 to December 1704 ; and some miscellaneous papers dated between 1676 and 1705. Subsequent Fort St. George Records arc contained in the Presidency series. Hugli. — The Factory at Hugli was established in 1650 under the firman obtained from Sultan Shuja by Dr. Boughton {see Rejjort on Balasor Records ante), but it was abandoned about 1685, when the settlement was removed to Sutanati by the ^gent Job Charnock {see Report on Calcutta Records ante). The Hugli Records comprise an imperfect set of copies of Consultations, &c., between the 13th October 1663 and the 9th September 1682, which include also certain proceedings at Balasor and Kasimbazar ; copies of Letters despatched and received between the 27th December 1672 and 8th December 1684, and between October 1671 and November 1687 respectively, both series being imperfect. Java. — In 1602 Captain Lancaster concluded a Treaty with the King of Bantam under which permission was given to the East India Company to establish a factory there. This he accordingly effected, and Bantam was, for some time, the Company's principal settlement in the East. In 1619 the English removed their factory from Bantam to Jakatra, and the factors there assumed the titles of President and Council. Owing to the opposition of the Dutch the English factory was removed in 1624 to the Island of Lagundy, but it did not long remain there. In October 1626 a factory was established at Japara on the north coast of Java east of Batavia, but on the 16th January 1628 the President and Council returned to Bantam. In 1630 the^ establishment at Bantam was reduced to an Agency, and made subordinate to the President and' Council at Surat; but it was restored to a Presidency iu 1634, and the agencies on the coast of India and in Beno-al were made subordinate to it. In August 1682, in consequence of a revolution instigated by the Dutch, in which the Company's factory was taken possession of by the rebels, the establishment withdrew to Batavia, whence they retired in the following August to Surat. The English East India Company had, for a short time, a factory at Batavia, but they retired thence to Banjarmasin iu 1702. After this date the East India Company, who had established factories in Sumatra, appear to have held but little trade with Java until 1758, when an Agency was again established at Batavia. When Holland was annexed to France, early in the present century, Java was placed under the administration of General Daendels, supported by a strong military force. A military expedition under Lieutenant-General Sir Samuel Auchmuty was, however, sent against the Island in August 1811, by whom it was taken and annexed to the British Crown; but by a Convention of the 13th Au^-ust 1814, between the British Government and that of the Netherlands, Java and its dependencies were restored to Holland, who formally took possession on the 4th December 1816. The Java Records are very voluminous, and comprise altogether 72 volumes. The earlier documents date from 1595, and those i-elating to the expedition of 1811, and the subsequent administration of the Island, go down to the year 1827. Karwar. — A town and port of North Kanara, 50 miles south-east of Goa. Karwar possesses the only first-rate harbour on the western coast of India between Bombay XX and Colombo. The town is of comparatively modern date, and rose to be one of tbe chief ports in the Bijapur dominions early in the 17th century. In 1638 a factory was settled here by Courten's Association, which he offered, in 1646,* to sell to the President of the London Company at Surat, but the offer was declined, and in 1649 the Factory was seized by the Native Governor.f The two bodies were, however, united in 1650, and shortly afterwards Karwar appears as one of the Company's factories. { The establishment was withdrawn in 1679 in consequence of exactions from local Chiefs, but it was restored again in 1682 ; owing, however, to the hostility of the Sonda Chief, the factory was removed in 1720, and was not re-opened until 1750. In 1752 the Portuguese sent a fleet and took possession of Sadashivgarh, and claimed the monopoly of the Karwar trade ; as they were in a Dosition to enforce their claim the English Agent was withdrawn. The proceedings of the Factory at Karwar will be found principally in the O.C. Collection, and in the Surat and Bombay Records. The only separate volume of Karwar Records contains a copy, and translation, of the firman granting certain privileges to the Company at Karwar, and an account of the siege of the factory by the Sonda Raja in 1717. Kasinibazar. — Now a decayed town in Murshidabad District ; it is said to derive it name from a legendary founder, Kasim Khan. After Satgaon had been ruined by the silting up of the Saraswati mouth of the Ganges, and before Calcutta was founded, Kasimbazar was the great emporium for Bengal. In 1658 the Company established a factory here, which was made subordinate to Fort St. George. Kasim- bazar was one of the factories assigned by the London Company to the United Company in 1702. Its decay dates from 1813, when the Bhagirathi river suddenly deserted its ancient bed, and took to a new course three miles from the old town. A number of letters from this Factory will be found in the O.C. Records ; the separate Factory Records from Kasimbazar comprise the Diary and Consultations from the 12th October 1676 to the 30th November 1685 ; there is then a gap till April 1701, in consequence of this and other factories in Bengal having been confiscated by order of the Nawab Shaista Khan in 1686. There are then some Consultations for the year 1701, after which there is another gap till March 1733, also between December 1733 and January 1736. Subsequently to the latter date the Consultations are fairly regular up to February 1759, when the separate Records for this Factory cease. Madapollam. — This was a weaving and dyeing village near Narsapur, in the Godavery District, and gave its name to goods still known in the market as " Madapollams." This factory, which was subordinate to Masulipatam, is first mentioned in 1676. References to it will be found in the 0. C. Collection and in the Masulipatam Records. The Madapollam Records comprise Consultations between the 2nd January 1684 and the 31st December 1686 ; copies of Letters despatched between the 7th September 1676 and the 30th December 1684; and copies of Letters received between September 1676 and December 1685. Maldah. — A town of Bengal, situated at the confluence of the Kalindri with the Mahanadi river. The town is admirably situated for river traffic, and probably rose to prosperity as the port of Panduah, one of the two great capitals of the early Muhammadan Kings of Bengal, the other capital being Gaur. It was the seat of * 0. C. 2012. t O. C. 2158. % 0. C. 2726. ZXl thriving cotton and silk manufactures, and both the French and Dutch had settlements here. The East India Company established a factory in the latter part of the seventeenth century, which was in existence at the union of the two Companies in 1702-9. The separate Maldah Records consist of Diaries and Consultations between the 22nd April ^1680 and the 31st January 1693 ; these are not, however, continuous. Masulipatam (Machh-patnam, or Fish Town ; but according to Sir Henry Yule the name is a relic of Moesolia of the Greek geographers) is the principal sea-port of the Kistna District, 215 miles north of Madras City. The first visit to Masulipatam by any of the Company's officers was by Captain Hippon, in the " Globe," who arrived and landed on the 30th August 1611, and obtained a cowle for trading there. A factory appears to have been established here in 1615,* but it was abandoned in 1628 on account of the oppressions of the native Governor.! It was re-established in 1631,J when this station became the centre of English trade in those parts, and was managed by a Chief and Council. In 1685 the factory was again temporarily dissolved, but it was subsequently revived, and was in existence at the union of the two East India Companies. Many documents relating to Masulipatam are contained in the O. C. Collection. The separate Factory Records comprise Consultations between the 5th July 1670 and the 31st December 1685 ; copies of Letters despatched, from the 15th September 1640 to the 29th December 1686 ; copies of Letters received, from April 1622 to December 1685 ; Diary of William Puckle, January 1675 to January 1676 ; and Proceedings of the new Company's representatives at Masulipatam for 1699 and 1700. Murshidahad. — The district of Murshidabad, in the Bengal Presidency, came under the financial administration of the East India Company in 1765 by a grant from the Moghul Emperor, Shah Alam. The Murshidabad Records do not properly belong to the Factory period at all, but rather to the Bengal Revenue Series ; they have, however, been included in this Collection for greater convenience of reference ; they consist of Proceedings of the Provincial Coimcil of Revenue from the 27th September 1770 to the 27th December 1779, and copies of Letters received and sent for September and October 1770. Fatna. — Tliis city, which has been identified with Pataliputra, and Palibothra mentioned by Megasthenes, has long been a place of considerable importance as a commercial depot. Its central position at the junction of three great rivers — the Son, the Gandak, and the Ganges, where the traffic of the North- Western Provinces meets that of Bengal and another line of trade branches off to Nepal — gives it in this respect great advantages. It is uncertain at what precise date the East India Company first established a factory here, but it was probably in the early part of the second half of the seventeenth century. In 1686§ the factory was seized by the Nabob, and the Company's servants were taken prisoners. In 1692 the Com't ordered the factory to be withdrawn, provided sufficient saltpetre could be procured at Hugli; II it continued to exist, however, until the union of the two Companies, bui was shortly afterwards withdrawn, though it was subsequently re-established. The Factory Records consist of one volume of Diary and Consultations, between the * O. C. 349. t 0. C. 1273-1280. t O. C. 1313, 1322, 1374. 5433. § O. C. 5531. II Letter to Bengal, 22nd January 1692. xxu 6th April 1680 and the 30th September 1685. The District of Patna was conveyed to the East India Company by a grant from Shah Alam in 1765, and amongst these Records are certain Consultations extending to April 1782 (which have, however, more especial reference to the revenues of the district) and narratives of the massacre at Patna in 1763. Persia and the Persian Gulf. — On the 1st October 1611 Mr. Robert Sherley presented to King James his credentials as an Ambassador from the King of Persia, on whose account he offered to the English the free and absolute use of two ports in his dominions.* A few years after this, in 1614, Mr. Richard Steele, who had gone to Aleppo to recover a debt from a merchant of that city, followed him through Persia to India, and, on arrival at Surat, reported the great advantages to be derived from a trade to Persia.f Thereupon the Factors sent him, together with Mr. Crowther, to England, to represent the matter to the Court. J In 1616 the Agency at Surat despatched a vessel with goods to Jask, where the expedition was favourably received and a license granted to land ; two Factors were left here, and Messrs. Barker and Connock, who had charge of the expedition, proceeded to Ispahan, where a factory was established. § Three firmans were obtained in favour of the English, and these were followed by a treaty which gave them considerable facilities for trade in Persia. Obstruction was attempted by the Portuguese, but unsuccessfully, and they were eventually (in 1622) driven out of Ormus by the combined English and Persian forces. A renewed Treaty was also obtained from the Shah. In 1689 a voyage was undertaken to Bussora, where permission to trade was obtained from the Bashaw, and a factory was shortly afterwards established there, which was described, in 1644, as one of the most important centres of exchange which the Company at that time enjoyed. At the union of the two Companies in 1702-9, the factories in Persia are described as at Gombroon, Shiraz, and Ispahan. By 1727 the trade at Bussora was paralyzed by the oppression to which it was subjected by the Bashaw, and the Agent accordingly withdrew and retired to Gombroon, but the factory at Bussora was shortly afterwards re-established. In December 1754, by orders from the Court, a factory was established at Bunder Reig, but the building was demolished two years later, and the Agent retired to Gombroon. In October 1759 the English factory at Gombroon was taken by a French fleet and destroyed, but it was re-established in the following year. Owing to a decline in trade at Gombroon, the English factory was removed thence to Bussora in 1763, and in the same year a factory was established at Busbire. In 1783 a Native Agent was appointed at Bagdad, who was succeeded in 1798 by a Resident, whose chief duty was to watch and report on the proceedings of the French emissaries in connection with Napoleon's projected invasion of India by Egypt and the Red Sea. In 1778 Bushire became the head station of the Company's Persian Gulf trade. In 1808 a Resident was appointed at Muscat. In August 1809 the Bagdad and Bussora Residencies were consolidated, and one Resident was appointed for both places. The Commercial Residency of Bushire was abolished in May 1812. The Records relating to Persia and the Persian Gulf have been arranged and bound up in 130 vohimes, extending from 1620 to 1874. The earliest document consists of a list of sundry commodities and their prices. It is docketted, " To be perused at • Calendar of State Papers (East Indies), Vol. I., Nos. 391 and 503. t O.

This is followed by a copy of a letter from King James I. to Shah Abbas, King of Persia, relative to establishing a trade in the Persian dominions, dated the 19th March 1621* ; and next come copies of Letters, dated in 1621 and 1622, from Ispahan, Ghilan, Kharistan, Shiraz, Laur, Minaw, Gombroon, Jiyome (Jeroon, the old name for Ormuz), and Kustack. The documents in this series for the early part of the 17th century are not numerous, but others are contained in the "O. C." volumes. Under date the 3rd August 1697 is a paper containing samples of different coloured silks, which was received overland via Aleppo. The earliest Gombroon Consultations date from the Ist November 1708. There are gaps in these Consultations between the 31st July 1710 and the 23rd November 1726 ; between the 31st July 1727 and the 20th November 1728 ; between the 31st July 1752 and the 3rd August 1754, and between the 31st July 1758 and the 16th January 1760. They finally cease on the 7th February 1763, soon after which date the Factory was removed thence to Bussora. There are seven volumes of Letters from Bussora, Gombroon, and other places dated between the years 1703 and 1811, followed by eleven volumes of miscellaneous documents between 1764 and 1822, including letters from General Malcolm and Sir Harford Jones relative to their respective missions to Persia. These are followed by one volume of Despatches relative to the Expedition to the Gulf of Persia, dated between the years 1816 and 1821. From 1817 there is a continuous record of documents up to 1874, consisting principally of letters from Persia, Bagdad, Bushire, Bussora, Damascus, &c., to the Secret Committee of the East India Company, to the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, and latterly to the Secretary of State for India. Other documents relative to Persia and the Persian Gulf will be found in the Surat and Bombay Consultations, and in the Proceedings of the Government of India. PetapoH (Pettipoly, Pettapoli, from the Telngn pedda, great, and palli, village) the native name of Nizampatam, adopted by the English. A town and port of the Kistna District. Captain Hippon arrived at Petapoli on the 18th August 1611, where he was weU received by the Governor, and allowed to land goods for trade, f On the 7th February 1614 Mr. Floris arrived at this port and established a factory, J which was, however, dissolved by William Methwold in 1621, § but a merchant was retained there in order to continue a trade. || The factory appears to have been shortly afterwards revived as it was in existence again in 1633,^ but it was finally dissolved by order of the Court in 1687. The separate Petapoli Records comprise copies of Consultations, between the 4th January 1683 and 24th May 1687, copies of Letters received, January 1685 to June 1687, and copies of Letters sent, 26th September 1682 to 24th May 1687. Rajapur. — Chief town of the Rajapur Subdivision of the E-atnagiri District of Bombay. It was once an important place of trade for pepper and cardamoms. In a letter to the Court, dated the 28th January 1640, the Council at Surat reported that Rajapur was the fittest place for the Company's occasions, Bombay excepted.'-"'' A factory was established here by Captain Weddell in the same year on account of * Amongst tlio Parchment Records is .also the original of another letter from King James to Shah Abba?, <lated the 14th February 1622. t O.

C. Collection, the only separate Factory Records now existing being copies of Letters despatched between the 4th October 1659 and the 3rd November 1660. ^^_ j^elenu. The first visit of the East India Company's ships to St. Helena was made by Captain Lancaster on his return from India, in 1603, who reached there on the 16th June. In 1645 the Dutch took formal possession of St. Helena and established a colony there, which, however, they abandoned when settling at the Cape of Good Hope in 1652. In the same year, the homeward bound ships of the East India Company, finding Uie Island deserted, took possession of it, and King Charles the Second confirmed the Company's right thereto by a charter of the 3rd April 1661. In 1665 the Dutch captured St. Helena from the English but were expelled from it the same year. In January 1673 the Dutch again captured the Island, but a British squadron arriving shortly afterwards they were again driven out. The recapture of the Island ^ave rise to a question as to the respective rights of the Crown and of the Company in the Island, but by a Charter of the 16th December 1673 His Majesty re-o-ranted the Island to the Company in perpetuity. On the 15th October 1815 the " Northumberland " arrived at St. Helena with Napoleon Bonaparte on board, who landed at this place of his exile about 7 p.m. on the evening of the 17th. By Act 3 & 4 William IV. the Island of St. Helena was vested in the Crown, by whom it was administered from the 31st March 1836. The volumes of St. Helena Consultations extend from 1676 to 1836 ; many of these, especially in the earlier years, are very imperfect. In the " O. C." volumes there are a number of letters from St. Helena, extending from the 21st June 1672 to 1st July 1707 ; but it is very evident that these are only a few representative documents, and that the larger part of the correspondence between those dates has been missing for a great number of years. The first letter to the East India Company from St. Helena, in the present Collection is dated in October 1698. These letters extend from that date to the 20th April 1836. No separate copies of Despatches from the Court of Directors to St. Helena appear to have been preserved earlier than the 1st January 1820, from whence to the 21st October 1835 they are to be found in nine bound volumes. There is very little in existence in this Office relating to Napoleon Bonaparte in St. Helena, as most of the correspondence was carried on, not with, or even through, the Court of Directors, but with the Secretary of State direct. We have, however, one volume of copies of Letters on the subject, extending from the 21st July 1815 to the 6th September 1817, which relate principally to the arrangements to be made for his custody and accommodation. Other miscellaneous volumes include Paymaster's Accounts, Committee Reports on the Island (1818 to 1835), defences of St. Helena, Southern Whale Eishery, &c.

The factory is, however, referred to in several of the O. C. Records, and also in the Java Records. Straits Settlements. — In 1772 Mr. Francis Light, the master of a merchantman, who had traded a great deal with the native States of the Malay peninsula, and more especially with that of Quedah, wrote to Mr. Hastings, then Governor of Bengal, particularly concerning the country of Quedah, and the utility of Pulo Penang as a commercial port, recommending it as a convenient magazine for Eastern trade. It appears that about this time the Supreme Government of Bengal were seeking to establish a commercial port in the Straits of Malacca, and selected Achin as the most suitable place for that purpose, but the King of Achin refused to comply with their proposals to that effect ; they then turned towards Pulo Penang, the King of Quedah having offered to bestow the Island in perpetuity on the East India Company, on condition of their paying him six thousand dollai-S annually as an indemnification of the loss he might sustain in his revenues from the trade of Quedah being diverted into another channel. This offer was accepted, and the Island was taken possession of with the usual forms on the 12th August 1786, in honour of which day, the birthday of George, Prince of Wales (George IV.), it was called " Prince of Wales Island." With the rise of Prince of Wales Island, the commercial importance of Malacca decreased, and it became now a place of only secondary rank in that respect, but possessing great agricultural resources. In 1795, in the midst of their reverses in other parts of India, the Dutch surrendered Malacca and its dependencies to the British forces under the command of Captain Newcome, of the " Orpheus," and Major Brown, of the East India Company's Service. Prince of Wales Island was used as a place of rendezvous for an expedition fitted out in 1797 against Manila, and a considerable body of troops from Bengal and Madras, amounting to 5,000 Europeans, besides a large number of Native troops, met there in August of that year and remained in harbour for a month, after which the expedition was recalled without fulfilling its contemplated object. In June 1800 the cession of a tract of land on the mainland was obtained from the King of Quedah, comprising a district 18 miles in length and three miles in breadth, now called Province Wellesley. In 1805 it was resolved to constitute Penang into a regular Presidency with a Governor and Council. Under the terms of the Treaty of Vienna, Malacca was restored to the Dutch in 1818. In order to protect the British trade, and to secure one of the two passages to the Eastern Archipelago, the Marquis of Hastings, unaware of the fact that Rhio had been occupied by the Dutch, determined to attempt the improvement of our relations with Achin, at the northern entrance, and to form a settlement on Rhio, on account of its being advantageously situated near the southern extremity. For these purposes Sir Stamford Raffles was sent from Bengal in December 1818, with orders to associate himself with Major Farquhar, the President at Malacca. On arriving at the Straits it was found that Rhio was already in the hands of the Dutch. The Carimon Isles and Singapore were almost the only eligible spots now left. The latter, • O. C. 1130. t O.

In 1825 Malacca was restored to the English under a Treaty with Holland, and in 1826 Penang, Singapore, and Malacca were incorporated as one Government, with Penang as the seat of Government. On the 1st April 1867, the Straits Settlements were transferred from the control of the Indian Government to that of the Secretary of State for the Colonies by an Order in Council, issued under the authority of Act 29 and 30 Vict., c. 115. The earliest British possessions in these Straits date from 1786, and the earliest records in a separate form relating to those possessions begin from that year. The Prince of Wales Island Consultations commence in 1786 and extend to 1830. The Letters from, and Despatches to, Prince of Wales Island extend from 1805, the date on which Penang was formed into a Presidency, to 1830, after which the corre- spondence of the Court of Directors relative to the Straits Settlements was conducted through the Government of India, and the documents relating to them will, from that date, be found with the Correspondence and Proceedings of the Supreme Government. Sumatra. — Captain Lancaster, on his first voyage for the East India Company, arrived off Achin on the 5th June 1602, and obtained from the King a treaty of commerce.* Trade was thereupon commenced here, but a factory was not established until May 1615, and about the same time other factories were settled at Tiku and Priaman.f About six months later another factory was established at Jambi-t Subsequently, a factory was started at Indraghiri, but it was dissolved in 1622. § The Achin factory was dissolved in 1631. || In 1649, on an invitation from the Governor of Padang, the President at Bantam sent one of the Company's ships to that port, and to Indrapore, on a voyage of experiment ; and this circumstance marks the first trade and settlement of the English at those stations. The English trade with Sumatra had, from the first, been strongly opposed by the Dutch, who so far succeeded in monopolising the trade of the island that in the course of a few years Jambi was the only factory retained by the English. In 1681 the factory at Jambi was dissolved, and in 1684 a factory was established at Bencoolen, where a fort was erected, which was named York Port. About the same time the factory at Priaman was revived and made subordinate to Fort St. George, and York Fort was subsequently also made a subordinate factory to Fort St. George. Other stations were also occupied, and at the union of the two East India Companies the settlements on the Island of Sumatra were York Fort (afterwards called Fort Marlborough), Bencoolen, Indrapore, Tryamong, and Sillibar. In 1785 Fort Marlborough and its dependencies were placed immediately in subordination to the Government of Bengal.

Many of the earliest [references to Sumatra are contained in the O. C. Records, but there are a few early fragments, of 1615-16, in the separate Sumatra Collection Copies of York Fort Letters and Consultations extend from 1685 to 1714; Fort Marlborough letters, from 1714 to 1825, Public Consultations from 1705 to 1818, Military Consultations from 1782 to 1796, and Despatches to Fort Marlborough from November 1754 to February 1825 ; Fort St. George Diary and Proceedings between the 7th January 1772 and the 16th January 1773 relative to a Settlement at Achin ; and Bengal Consultations relative to Fort Marlborough from the 21st February 1786 to the 31st August 1795. Surat. — During the 17th and 18th centuries Surat ranked as the chief export and import centre of India. The first visit to Surat was made in November 1607, when Captain Hawkins was landed and proceeded to Agra on a mission to the Great Moghul. In 1609 Captain Sharpeigh sailed for that port, but, having no pilot on board, he ran his vessel on a shoal at the mouth of the Amlicka river, when she was lost, but he and the crew found their way overland to Surat.* This place was again visited by Sir Henry Middletou, who commanded the sixth voyage ; he arrived off Surat on the 26tli September 1611, but was for a 5 long time prevented from communicating with the shore by the Portuguese, who put every possible obstruction in his way, but, ultimately, he succeeded in obtaining permission to trade there, as well as at Ahmedabad, Cambay and Gogo. A little later on (lltli January 1613) a firman was obtained from the Great Moghul for establishing factories at those places. Surat soon became the principal seat of the East India Company's trade in India, and continued so until the chief control of all the possessions in India was transferred to Bombay in 1687. The English East India Company also established a factory at Surat and at its union with the London Company both factories were still in existence. There are numerous references to Surat in the O. C. Records. The separate Surat Records comprise an incomplete set of Consultations of the London Company's factory, from the 20th July 1622 to the 19th November 1708 ; Consultations of the English Company's factory, from the 3rd October 1700 to the 21st December 1704. There is a gap in the Consultations between November 1708 and the 1st August 1718, after which they continue, with a few gaps in the earlier years, to the 30th April 1804. There is a Judicial Diary from the 15th March 1796 to the 31st December 1799 ; copies of Letters despatched (somewhat imperfect) between the 13th May 1631 and the 3rd May 1708 ; and copies of Letters received (also imperfect) between January 1623 and May 1708. Tellicherri. — The Presidency at Surat established a factory at Tellicherri in 1683 to secure the pepper and cardamom trade of that district, and on several occasions, between 1708 and 1761, the Company obtained from the Chirakkal Raja, and other local chiefs, not only grants of land in and near Tellicherri, but other important privileges. The separate Tellicherri Records are but few, aud comprise copies of Letters received by the Company from that Factory between February 1716 and April 1756 ; * 0. C. 12. XXVlll and Diaries and Consultations (imperfect) from the 1st January 1777 to the 31st December 1793. Thana. — Chief town of the Thana District of Bombay. Under a Treaty of December 1533, Thana was made over to the Portuguese, but when, in 1739, they lost Bassein, their power in Thana came to an end. In 1771 the English, urged by the news that a fleet had left Portugal to recover Salsette and Bassein, determined to gain possession of Thana. Negotiations for its cession failing, a force was sent to take it, and on the 28th December 1774, the fort was stormed and the greater part of the garrison put to the sword. The separate Thana Eecords comprise only Diaries and Consultations between the 8th January 1775 and the 30th November 1799. Vizagapatam. — Chief town of a district of the same name in the Madras Presidency. About the middle of the 17th century the East India Company established a factory here, which, in 1689, was seized by the Moghuls and the factors murdered. In the following year it was restored, and was in existence at the union of the two Companies. Heferences to this factory will be found principally in the O. C. Collection, and amongst the Madras Records. The only separate Vizagapatam Records consist of one volume of Diary and Consultations between the 16th July 1692 and the 30th March 1695. F. C. D.
