First edition.A manual for East India Company officers, mainly focused on their private trade compiled by Cartwright, the Deputy Accountant-General. The extent of the Abstract suggests a remarkable range of illicit commerce.

An order prohibiting dockers from entering ships' holds suggests a recognised route for smuggled cargo. The numerous notes regulating bullion and bills of exchange indicate yet another area of illegitimate activity. Commanders are reminded that passengers, unless authorised by appropriate Company officials, or members of the ships' company, are prohibited, with details of charges depending on nationality. Scarce.
