Notes: "The present instalment contains about 320 documents, of which three-fourths belong to the India office collections, five come from the Public record office, and one from the British museum.  For the first time we are able to include documents from an Indian record office, for the Surat factory Outward letter book (vol.I)--the oldest volume of English records now extaut in that country--contributes about seventy entries.  Five of the letters in that volume were published ... by Mr. G. W. Forrest ... in his selections from the letters, etc., preserved in the Bombay secretariat : Home series, vol. I; but the rest are new to students.  The documents taken from the o.c. ('original correspondence') series at the India office, as also those from the 'East Indies' series at the Public record office, have been already calendared in Mr. W. Noel Sainsbury's volume for 1630-4; but they are here abstracted afresh on a different system, in which verbatim quotation is freely used."--Pref.
