He was also a major investor in the settlement of Bermuda, which was established in 1612.The book provides a detailed account of Smythe's life and career, including his early years as a merchant in London, his involvement in the East India Company, and his role as a patron of Bermuda. The author draws on a wide range of primary sources, including letters, diaries, and official records, to provide a richly detailed portrait of Smythe and his world.Throughout the book, Spurling explores the political, economic, and social context in which Smythe operated, shedding light on the complex relationships between the East India Company, the English government, and the various colonial ventures of the period. He also provides insights into the personal life of Smythe, including his family relationships and his religious beliefs.Overall, Sir Thomas Smythe: Governor Of The East India Company And Patron Of Bermuda offers a fascinating insight into the life and times of one of the most important figures of the early modern period. It will be of interest to anyone interested in the history of the East India Company, the colonial history of Bermuda, or the broader history of early modern Britain.Delivered At The 1955 Bermuda Dinner Of The Newcomen Society Held At Mid Ocean Club In The Parish Of Tuckers Town, On The Island Of Bermuda.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
