The Global Indies
Ashley Cohen’s book engages with a subject that has long concerned this reviewer. Cohen aims to bring together within a single focus the segments of the British empire that she calls ‘The Two Indies’—that is, empire in the Americas and in India. In 2005, I published a book with a similar purpose called The Making and Unmaking of Empires: Britain, India, and America, 1750–1783 (rev. ante, cxxii [2007], pp. 763–5). This was a work set in the long-e…
British Traders in the East Indies, 1770–1820
The role of ‘country trade’ in the British activities in Asia before the mid-nineteenth century, that is, trade between ports around the Indian Ocean or the China Sea by privately owned British ships, has been delineated in many distinguished studies. While the main outlines of how this system developed seem to be clearly established, individual voyages by country ships are hard to reconstruct and relatively little is known of the captains who to…

The Negro Code
What came to be known as Burke’s ‘Negro Code’ was a draft for an act of Parliament, whose aim was to put an end over a long period to ‘all traffic in the persons of men’ and to the holding of them in ‘a state of slavery’. The measures to bring this about were comprehensive and detailed. ‘Civilization and improvement’ were to be spread in Africa by the exertion of British influence, so that other forms of trade would replace slaving. Improved cond…
The Setting
Many people in later eighteenth-century Britain, varying from rich merchants and absentee planters to workers on ships or in manufactures serving the islands, had concerns with the West Indies. In leading ports like London, Bristol, and Liverpool, West Indians organized themselves into associations to promote their interests. Such people sought to influence government and to act as a group in the House of Commons. Such influence as they were able…
William Burke and Guadeloupe
William Burke gained the very desirable office of Secretary in the new regime established in the French island of Guadeloupe after the British conquest of 1758. The autonomy guaranteed to the French population under the terms of Guadeloupe’s surrender, however, limited the pecuniary advantages which he could obtain there. For much of his tenure he was in Britain, where he orchestrated a vigorous campaign for Guadeloupe to be turned into a permane…
Abolition, Revolution, and Renewed War
After 1783 and the presentation of a Quaker petition to Parliament, a highly organized campaign for the immediate abolition of the slave trade gained strong public support. Until 1788, Buke seems to have maintained his preference for the comprehensive reforms over a long period that he had outlined in his Negro Code. In the parliamentary debates from 1788 to 1791, however, he openly sided with immediate abolition. Thereafter, evidently concerned …
Conclusion
The Conclusion restates the narrative theme of the book in briefly tracing the growth of Burke’s involvement with the West Indies through the private interests of his close connections, to making policy on an issue of great national importance, and finally to Burke’s defining of his views on slavery and the slave trade through his Negro Code and his participation in the abolition debates of the late 1780s and early 1790s. It explores his views on…
Edmund Burke and the British Empire in the West Indies
In the later eighteenth century the West Indian sugar islands were a source of conspicuous wealth for some individuals and an important addition to the resources of Great Britain. They were generally reckoned to be the most valuable of Britain’s imperial possessions, a view which Burke fully endorsed. This book examines his long involvement with the West Indies, at a personal level through the ambitions of his brother and some of his closest frie…

The Heart of the Declaration
This book’s clearly stated purpose is to show the compelling relevance of the Declaration of Independence for contemporary political debate about the scope and purposes of government. It is presumably intended primarily as a contribution to current controversies in the United States. Assertions that hostility to strong government has been characteristic of the American republic since its origins have been challenged by historians of the Constitut…

Transatlantic Protestantism and American Independence
American independence in 1783 marked a clean break in constitutional relations with Britain. How other aspects of a complex pattern of transatlantic connections fared is less clear-cut: elements of continuity can be found as well as the effects of disruption. This paper is concerned with relations between the Protestant denominations in America and Britain. On the eve of the Revolution there are clear indications that, as in so many other aspects…

Persuasion and Propaganda
Joan Coutu and her publishers have produced a most attractive book, finely illustrated, often by the author's own photographs, evidence of how widely she has travelled in pursuit of her subject. The text is based on an impressive amount of scholarship drawn from many archives and much printed material. The book, as its sub-title proclaims, is about monuments to the dead with imperial connections, both overseas and at home. The monuments overseas …

The White Town of Calcutta Under the Rule of the East India Company
Late eighteenth and early nineteenth-century Calcutta was the setting for the first sustained encounter between Asian intellectuals and the west. An Indian intelligentsia living in Calcutta responded in a most creative way to aspects of European culture that became available to them in the city. Much about this response is now contentious. If the term Bengal Renaissance is still generally applied to it, the implications of that term are disputed.…

British Society in India under the East India Company
The British in India have always fascinated their fellow countrymen. From the eighteenth century until the demise of the Raj innumerable publications described the way of life of white people in India for the delectation of a public at home. Post-colonial Britain evidently still retains a voracious appetite for anecdotes of the Raj and accounts of themores of what is often represented as a bizarre Anglo-Indian world. Beneath the welter of apparen…
Western Arms in Maritime Asia in the Early Phases of Expansion
To a general reading public the history of the European empires still seems to be virtually synonymous with their military power and with stories of battles in tropical climes; by contrast, academic historians of imperialism now show little interest in purely military history. Campaigns and battles were no doubt frequently the means by which European power came to be exerted over other parts of the world, but, especially from the early nineteenth…
British Expansion in India in the Eighteenth Century
The Making and Unmaking of Empires
The loss of the greater part of the British Empire in North America, along with the independence of the former thirteen colonies and the creation of a new British territorial empire in eastern India, are conventionally interpreted as unconnected events. American independence has long been seen as marking the end of a 'first', largely trading, Atlantic empire of white settlement, while the extension of British rule over Bengal signalled the creati…
Economic and Political Expansion
Historians of the early phases of British conquest in India have until recent years given comparatively little attention to the economic elements in British expansion. Historians of the late nineteenth or early twentieth century generally portrayed conquest as a largely defensive reaction to French rivalry or to the instability created by the collapse of the Mughal empire. The commercial functions of the East India Company were largely ignored; i…

The Whites of British India, 1780–1830
1788 Burke said of the British in India: 'The Company in India does not exist as a national colony ... The English in India are nothing but a seminary for the succession of officers. They are a nation of placemen ;they are a commonwealth without a people.51 This analysis held good some forty years later. The overwhelming mass of Europeans in India were still employed by the state, that is by the East India Company or the armed forces of the Crown…

Presidential Address
By the end of the eighteenth century Britain was a world power on a scale that none of her European rivals could match. Not only did she rule a great empire, but the reach of expeditionary forces from either Britain itself or from British India stretched from the River Plate to the Moluccas in eastern Indonesia. Britain's overseas trade had developed a strongly global orientation: she was die leading distributor of tropical produce diroughout die…

British Immigration into India in the Nineteenth Century
In a by now classic definition, European expansion in the nineteenth century has been characterised as the integration of large tracts of the earth's surface into a world-economy dominated by Britain,. Distinctions are conventionally drawn between two processes of integration: on the one hand, the creation of new economies by European settlement in ‘empty’ lands of temperate climate, from which a thinly scattered indigenous population had been di…

Presidential Address Britain and the World in the Eighteenth Century
In my address last year I tried to offer some explanations for the great change of direction in Britain's territorial empire in the second half of the eighteenth century: the failure of empire over much of North America coinciding with the beginnings of great acquisitions in India. I would like now to look more closely at the American débâcle. In trying to account for it, I stressed the yawning gap between British ambitions as they developed from…

The Personal Fortune of Warren Hastings
7he size of Warren Hastings's private fortune was the subject of much speculation at the time of his impeachment. Many men who confessed themselves baffled by the voluminousness of the material produced by both sides and by the outlandish language in which this material was couched, apparently felt that a knowledge of Hastings's financial circumstances would give them some reliable guide for their sympathies. 'I have not yet looked into the charg…
Nobkissen Versus Hastings
In the sixth Article of Impeachment brought against him by the House of Commons, Warren Hastings was accused of disobeying the Regulating Act of 1773 and the orders of the Court of Directors of the East India Company by accepting presents from various Indians. These presents included a sum of three lakhs of sicca rupees, or £37,500, described as a loan from Maharaja Nabakrishna, or 'Nobkissen' as he was usually known to his European contemporarie…
The personal fortune of Warren Hastings
Warren Hastings resigned the Governor-Generalship of Bengal in February 1785 and arrived in England in the following June. He faced his retirement with a fortune of approximately £75, 000, a total amounting to little more than a third of all the money which he had sent out of India during the 13 years of his administration. Those who knew Hastings well and who were aware that he had found it almost impossible to save anything out of his official …

The British Discovery of Hinduism in the Eighteenth Century
One of the incidental consequences of the success of British arms in eighteenth-century India was the appearance of a number of publications which reflect the intense curiosity of contemporary Europeans about strange peoples, their manners and religions. Of the three principal religions of India, Hinduism attracted the most attention. European contact with Islam was several centuries old, while few travellers could identify Buddhism with any cert…
