Original Communications, &c. &c. &c. REFUTATION OF CERTAIN CALUMNIES AGAINST THE EAST-INDIA COMPANY'S CHINA TRADE, To the Editor of the Asiatic Journal. SIR: As you were so obliging as to allow a place in your Journal to a letter from me on the China-Trade, in reply to certain strictures upon it contained in a late number of the Edinburgh Review, I trust you will also permit me to trouble you with the few following observations on the same subject, which I find are called for by a somewhat extraordinary comment on my letter, which appeared in a newspaper some weeks ago, but which I never saw or heard of until this morning. It is there assumed, in the first place, that my letter proceeded in fact from the Court of Directors. To this I reply, that so far from proceeding from the Directors, it was written without the least previous communication with them, jointly or individually; without any view either to their approbation or disapprobation; and solely for the promotion of TRUTH; being anxious to contribute my mite to prevent the people of this country from being misled by false theories and statements, and induced to favour innovations, which if adopt Asiatic Journ.-No. 102. ed would, I am confident, most se riously injure, if not totally destroy, this most valuable branch of our eastern commerce. It accordingly follows that, whether the facts I have stated are true or false, the arguments I have employed sound or unsound, the Court of Di rectors are wholly uncommitted by them-none but the author is or can be responsible. Having stated thus much, the next allegation, that I have attempted to answer only two out of the many charges brought forward by the Edinburgh Reviewers, is easily disposed of. Had the Directors considered it expedient to take the field themselves on the present occasion, their reply would no doubt have embraced every branch of the subject, and have included every one of the charges against them and the Company; but when an uninterested individual steps forward in their defence, it is but just and natural that he should confine himself to those points with which he is most conversant; and it is surely more to his credit that he VOL.
