Explore "A Caution to the Directors of the East-India Company" by Anonymous on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
GENTLEMEN,
Perhaps there never was such a necessity, for an address to you upon the subject of "caution", since the East-India company was established, as at present. -- Your great successes in India, have drawn upon you the envy of your own countrymen, as well as the other European powers; the great increase of your dividend, has alarmed the proprietors of other funds for their own property; the differences among yourselves, and your fellow-proprietors, have furnished this envy, and these fears, with the means perhaps of overturning your constitution.
