Excerpt from A Defence of Mr. Sulivan's Propositions: With an Answer to the Objections Against Them; In a Letter to the Proprietors of East India Stock
I think it may be.obferved, to the ho nour of the worthy gentleman who offered it, Ihat although he mull have known that the whole power of direétion would be imployed to depreciate whatever pro pofal {hould come from him, yet, Without regarding the hazard be run of afi'ording a triumph to his adverfaries, by a hafiy deci fioxi upon a matter of foch moment, he rea dily yielded to the folicitation of the Pro prietors, and in three days t1me digefled and'preparfed his propofitions, boldly throw ingthem out to be peck'd at by the Whole floclc of his, opponents. Indeed I confefs that,; to me, this circumfiance of 'hai'rc~ap pearslto have been in his favour; if behad had time to have confulted all his friends, and opportunity to have called them-in, to a fecret Conclave at Leadenhall, he might perhaps have produced a plan as injudicious as perplexed, and as z'nadmifié/e-as-that of the Direé'tors.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book examines the complex negotiation process between the East India Company and the British government that took place during the late 18th century. This negotiation followed a period of great political and social change across the globe and resulted in significant shifts in the balance of power between the two entities. The author delves deep into the tensions and motivations of both sides to provide a detailed historical account of how the two parties negotiated, the compromises made, and the eventual outcome. Theoretically, this work contributes to a better understanding of how powerful entities negotiate with each other when their power balance is shifting.
