Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from On the Culture and Commerce of Cotton in India and Elsewhere: With an Account of the Experiments Made by the Hon. East India Company Up to the Present Time
TH 00 on the subject of this work requires no apology, discussing, as it does, the means of increasing the supply of the raw material of one of our most important manu factures, yet it may seem to have been treated of at greater length than was necessary. This was far from the author's intention; but the subject has grown under his hands, partly from the introduction of some collateral subjects, but chie?y from his having obtained, by the liberal permission of the Court of Directors of the East India Company, much new and important information from the several cotton districts of India.
The various statements which have been made respecting the causes which interfere with the extended exports of cotton from India, and the repeated experiments made by the East India Company to improve its culture in India, followed by apparent or alleged failure, have rendered it necessary to investigate the subject under three different heads. These were intended at one time to have formed three separate parts, and to have been published separately.
