Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the
1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly
expensive. Obscure Press are republishing these classic works in
affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text
and artwork.
This book, first published in 1926, is neither a catalogue of
libraries and record offices, no is it a selection of transcripts
from the English and Indian archives. The object of the undertaking
is two-fold: in the first place, it looks at supplying a critical
analysis of essential data for the study of seventeenth-century
British India; in the second place, it looks at bringing within one
purview all the materials lying scattered in various record
offices. Every important document has been subjected to a close and
careful scrutiny, and references have been given to printed works
that throw further light on the subject.

MARSHALLS ROUTES FROM BALASORE TO PATNA, 1670-1671 INTRODUCTION
JOHN MARSHALL, the author of the Notes and Observa tions on East
India reproduced in this volume, does not figure prominently in the
early history of the East India Company. Unlike his contemporaries,
John March, Walter Clavell, Matthias Vincent and Job Charnock, he
had no direct intercourse with the ruling authorities of his day,
nor did he take any part in obtaining grants for trade, redress of
grievances or extension of territory in the early days of the East
India Company. His fame rests on different grounds. For eight years
after his arrival in India he pursued the even tenour of his way in
Bengal, but as the first Englishman who really studied Indian
antiquities, he left behind him a store of knowledge that will keep
his memory for ever green in the hearts of all enquirers into
