Indian ink : script and print in the making of the English East India Company

"Tracing the history of the Company from its first tentative trading voyages in the early seventeenth century to the foundation of an empire in Bengal in the late eighteenth century, Miles Ogborn takes readers into scriptoria, ships, offices, print shops, coffeehouses, and palaces to investigate the forms of writing that exerted power and extracted profit in the mercantile and imperial worlds."--Dust-jacket
