Sinopsis

'The Diary of William Hedges, Esq.', provides a fascinating glimpse into the life and times of a British agent in Bengal during the late 17th century. This first volume covers Hedges? experiences during his agency in Bengal and his voyages to and from the region between 1681 and 1687. Edited by Sir Henry Yule, this meticulous account offers invaluable insights into the operations of the British East India Company, the social and political landscape of Bengal, and the personal reflections of a man navigating a complex and unfamiliar world. The diary entries detail Hedges? interactions with local rulers, his observations of Indian customs and traditions, and his involvement in the burgeoning trade between England and the East.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
