To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
But this bold form of dictatorship the Company was not yet prepared to concede ; yet wishing to propitiate Clive they hit upon the idea of a Select Committee, nominated by and including him, which might act on such occasions independent of the Council.
The Chinese trade of the Company calls for little notice since the period last adverted to. The im- portation of tea from Canton continued on a huge and profitable scale, although it was subjected from tihie to time to much exasperating native in...terfer- ence and huge duties in England, which, however, the public cheerfully paid. From time to time we hear of disputes running high between the Company and the English tea dealers. "These gentlemen loudly called out for what they termed a redress of grievance, insisting on the Company's altering a new method they began at sale of putting up a single chest of tea in a lot, and that, to prevent some people from being customers, the lots should be as large as formerly. They presented a memorial to the Court of Directors, which was taken into consideration and deputies admitted to speak in support of it.
