Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book presents the proceedings of a series of letters written by Major Richard Mathews in India in 1778 and 1779. Mathews was in command of the troops for the East India Company on the Coromandel Coast. The letters provide critical insights into the military and political affairs of the region as it was actively contested by European powers. Mathews was involved in several conflicts with French, Dutch, and local forces, and his letters offer firsthand accounts of the battles, sieges, and skirmishes that took place during this period. The letters illuminate the difficulties faced by the British in their efforts to establish and maintain control over the region, shedding light on the complex interplay between military strategy, political alliances, and economic interests. Mathews's writings provide valuable historical documentation of the East India Company's activities in the region, offering insights into the challenges faced by the Company as it sought to expand its influence and secure its commercial interests. The letters reveal the complexities of the relationship between the British and local powers, highlighting the tensions and conflicts that shaped the political landscape of the time. Through Mathews's vivid and detailed accounts, this book provides a comprehensive view of the military and political dynamics of the Coromandel Coast in the late 18th century, making it a valuable resource for scholars and those interested in the history of British imperialism and the East India Company.
