* The compiler of this Table had proceeded thus far when he found his task had been anticipated 

 in a great measure by " Chronogical account of connexion between England and India," which was 

 published at home in the '* Companion to the Almanac" for 1832. As usefulness is the only aim of a 

 mere compilation such as this professes to be, the compiler has availed himself gladly of the new 

 Table from 1807, and endeavoured to render his own more correct. This table, however, in earlier 

 events is much fuller than that in the Companion to the Almanac.
