The Proper Limits of the Government's Interferen
John Dalrymple Stair’s The Proper Limits of the Government’s Interference with the Affairs of the East-India Co. is a comprehensive examination of the East India Company’s history and its relationship with the British government. Stair examines the Company’s history from its inception in 1600 to its dissolution in 1858, and the various attempts by the British government to regulate and control the Company’s activities. He argues that the government’s interference was often excessive and detrimental to the Company’s interests, and that the government should have allowed the Company to operate with more autonomy. Stair also examines the various reforms that were implemented in the Company’s later years, and argues that these reforms were beneficial and should have been implemented earlier. The Proper Limits of the Government’s Interference with the Affairs of the East-India Co. is an important work for anyone interested in the history of the East India Company and the British government’s relationship with it.
