The Register of Letters &C. Of the Governour and Company of Merchants of London Trading Into the East Indies, 1600-1619 (Classic Reprint) - Tapa blanda

Excerpt from The Register of Letters &C. Of the Governour and Company of Merchants of London Trading Into the East Indies, 1600-1619

The volume has been generally known as the Miscellaneous Court Book, and that is the description inscribed on its label. There seems, however, to be little doubt that the proper title is the one now adopted, viz: The Register of Letters, &c. Of the Governour and Company of Merchants of London trading into the East Indies. This is the title by which it is designated in the earlier Court Minutes although later on it seems to have lost its original title and is referred to as the booke wher ye Commissions be.2 It is in fact the first Letter Book and Register of the London or Old East India Company.
