Notes:
Arranged chronologically and supported by extensive name, title and subject indexes. Provides 'a record of printed books, pamphlets and other material such as maps issued by or written by the Company from the granting of its first charter in 1600 to 1785' just after the 1784 Act which bought the non-mercantile activities of the Company under British government control. Aims to chart the course of the Company's history through the publications printed in its lifetime 'thus concentrating on the ideas and attitudes of its contemporaries rather than on the judgements of posterity'. Includes official papers and commercial publications
