This volume was part of a series of miscellaneous autograph letterbooks in Sir Thomas Phillipps' library originally collected by Robert Cole. This particular book contains MS fragments, letters, and autographs of famous Anglo-Indian political figures. There are around nineteen separate pieces in the collection totaling about 110 pages and ranging in date from the 1780s to 1810s. Many of the pieces relate to James Paull (1770-1808), a merchant in the Indian trade and later MP, his conduct in India, and his accusations against Lord Wellesley, circa 1804-1806 (copies of some of this material may also be found in BL Add. MS 13,532). The volume also contains a small series of letters relating to military campaigns around Madras, 1781-1783, signed by various officers including John Garstin and A.W. Hervey. In addition, the collection includes one letter to Lord Frederick North from [Alexander] Hannay dated 1783. There is also one unsigned letter to Lord George Macartney, most likely from Mohamed Ali Khan Wallajah, the Nabob of Arcot, dated March 8, 1783.
