The promise of riches
The territorial ambitions of the mercantile East India
Company were viewed with distrust and doubt in England.
After the Battle of Plassey, Robert Clive wrote to William
Pitt, one of the Principal Secretaries of State to the English
monarch, on 7 January 1759 from Calcutta:
But so large a sovereignty may possibly be an object
too extensive for a mercantile Company
.... I flatter
myself ... that there will be little or no difficulty in
obtaining the absolute possession of these rich
kingdoms: ... Now I leave you to judge, whether an
income yearly of two million sterling with the
possession of three provinces... be an object deserving
the public attention ...
