Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This volume, the 50th in the series, is a collection of the official records of the proceedings of the President and Council of Fort St. George from 31st December 1751 to 30th December 1752. The minutes of the meetings provide a first-hand account of the political situation in Carnatic as the English battled the French for supremacy following the outbreak of the Second Carnatic War, and how those battles affected the lives of the local people. The English had the upper hand at the beginning of the year. However, as the year went on, the tide of the war turned and the French began to make gains. By the end of the year, the English were on the defensive and the French were poised to take Fort St. George itself. The book also contains a wealth of information on the social and economic life of Carnatic in the 18th century. The records provide insights into the workings of the East India Company, the lives of the European settlers, the role of the Indian sepoys, and the impact of the war on the local economy.
