Reviews

'Any reader interested in early modern trade, in the role of the state in this, and in the transition to European dominance, could find no better place to start than in these collected essays.' -M.N. Pearson, Northern Mariner 'Das Gupta is widely recognised as a major authority in this area. His scholarship and command over sources, combined with a delightful style of writing, brings alive the world of the Indian maritime merchant in a manner that has few parallels' Om Prakash, Mariners Mirror
