Edited by GEORGE F STECKLEY
This volume constitutes part of the most complete documentation that is extant for any London merchant of the Interregnum. In addition to casting light on the city’s business conditions during those years of political experiment and commercial war, Paige’s letters reveal the mind and methods of a young merchant who dispatched ships to five continents, counselled the government on matters of trade, and would serve for many years as a director of the East India Company.
