Free Trade with India An Enquiry into the True State of the Question at Issue Between His Majesty's Ministers, the Honorable the East India Company, and the Public at Large, on the Justice and Policy of a Free Trade to India

The pamphlet opens with a vivid snapshot of the heated debate over whether Britain should open its markets to Indian trade. Its author sets out to strip away rhetoric and present a plain‑spoken, logical case that anyone – even a casual reader – can follow. By contrasting the interests of the Crown, the powerful East India Company, and the broader public, the work frames the controversy as a clash between entrenched monopoly and the promise of broader prosperity.

Drawing on historical examples from France to early British commerce, the writer argues that monopolies have long stifled growth and that true economic freedom demands more than lofty slogans. He emphasizes “common sense” as the guide, warning against the persuasive but shallow arguments that dominate public opinion. The text promises a concise, reasoned overview that invites listeners to consider the real costs and benefits of free trade with India without getting lost in partisan jargon.
