Book Description
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.

Book Description
A deeply researched, analytically rich, and vivid account of England's early maritime empire Drawing on a wealth of understudied sources, historian Eleanor Hubbard explores the labor conflicts behind the rise of the English maritime empire. Freewheeling Elizabethan privateering attracted thousands of young men to the sea, where they acquired valuable skills and a reputation for ruthlessness. Peace in 1603 forced these predatory seamen to adapt to a radically changed world, one in which they were expected to risk their lives for merchants' gain, not plunder. Merchant trading companies expected sailors to relinquish their unruly ways and to help convince overseas rulers and trading partners that the English were a courteous and trustworthy "nation." Some sailors rebelled, becoming pirates and renegades; others demanded and often received concessions and shares in new trading opportunities. Treated gently by a state that was anxious to promote seafaring in order to man the navy, these determined sailors helped to keep the sea a viable and attractive trade for Englishmen.
