Original Papers Relative To Tanjore, Containing All The Letters Which Passed, And The Conferences Which Were Held, Between His Highness The Habob Of Arcot And Lord Pigot On The Subject Of The Restoration Of Tanjore: Together With The Material Part Of Lord Pigot's Last Dispatch To The East India Company. This work presents a documentary collection from the late 18th century concerning the political struggle over the restoration of Tanjore (Tanore) in the Carnatic region. It assembles letters, conferences, and a surrounding narrative with introductory material and notes that aim to illuminate the rights, treaties, and strategic considerations of the British East India Company, the Nabob of Arcot, and their local allies and opponents. The volume includes translated documents and commentary reflecting debates over justice, political expediency, and the integrity of treaties—most notably the 1762/Paris-era guarantees and their implications for territorial possessions, feudal duties, and colonial policy. It serves as a primary source for understanding colonial diplomacy, fiscal pressures, and the contest between local rulers and Company power in India during the 1770s.
