Although later than the Portuguese in reaching the coasts of Asia,
the Dutch became in the 17th and 18th centuries the most important
of the European nations engaged in the Asian trade - in terms both
of the quantity and value of the cargoes shipped, and the number of
ports involved. In those centuries the V.O.C., the Dutch East India
Company, was the greatest mercantile corporation in the world, and
these articles deal with its activities in Asia, from the Indian
Ocean to the Far East. They look at the company's failures,
successes and conflicts: the loss of Formosa to the Chinese in
1662, the wealth it drew from the Japan trade and the extent of its
influence there, and the rivalry with other European nations,
notably the English and the French. The final studies, on the
failing years of the V.O.C., look also at the career of Isaac
Titsingh, at once a successful servant of the V.O.C. and one of the
few to take a seriously scholarly interest in the Orient.
