The Dutch East India Company and Mysore 1762-1790
Description:... The book is a more comprehensive study, thanks to the author’s knowledge of the Dutch language and consultation of a variety of sources, than previous works regarding the development of Dutch settlements in India during the eighteenth century. The author shows how between the Dutch and Mysore, Malabar, Coromandel, Ceyla and Batavia were important areas of contact either directly or indirectly. Sources reveal the ways in which merchants from the Dutch East India Company attempted to strengthen political and commercial ties with Haidir Ali and Tipu Sultan of Mysore.
