Without Due Attention to a Late Act of Parliament, and a By-law of Their Own\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery effort has been made to replicate this text as\r\nfaithfully as possible, including obsolete and variant spellings and other\r\ninconsistencies.  Text that has been changed to correct an obvious error\r\nis noted at the end of this ebook.\nPerhaps there never was such a necessity, for an address to you upon the\r\nsubject of caution, since the East-India company was established, as\r\nat present.Your great successes in India, have drawn upon you the envy\r\nof your own countrymen, as well as the other European powers; the great\r\nincrease of your dividend, has alarmed the proprietors of other funds\r\nfor their own property; the differences among yourselves, and your\r\n[Pg 2]fellow-proprietors, have furnished this envy, and these fears, with the\r\nmeans perhaps of overturning your constitution.\nTho' I will not presume to determine, whence these differences arose, or\r\nwho have been to blame, that not being part of the present design, you\r\nwill agree with me they have drawn upon you the notice of the\r\nlegislature, and have produced an act of parliament, that affords either\r\nparty but little cause for rejoicing, however grateful it may be to the\r\npublic. I must suppose you would wish to keep your golden fleece to\r\nyourselvesunion among yourselves would have secured itbut your\r\ndifferences have exasperated the watchful dragon, the guardian of this\r\ntreasure, and you now only hold it in participationA strange\r\nparticipation too, where the public is to receive four hundred\r\nthousand pounds, while you are to receive nothingI say\r\nnothingfor I shall endeavour to prove you cannot make your dividend\r\nof 5l. per cent. due the 5th of last July, nor will you be able, as\r\n[Pg 3]things now stand, to declare the dividend of 5l. per cent. at\r\nChristmas next.\n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 37048 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Anonymous \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRelease Date\u003c\/b\u003e: Aug 12, 2011 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat\u003c\/b\u003e: eBook \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage\u003c\/b\u003e: English \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Anonymous \/ eBook \/ English","offer_id":43220449886365,"sku":"gb-37048-ebook","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/products\/37048.jpg?v=1671552290","url":"https:\/\/booksdeli.com\/products\/a-caution-to-the-directors-of-the-east-india-company-gb-37048","provider":"booksdeli.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
