1824181153Likely London: c.1824. Peacock the company man A draft official document composed by Peacock in his capacity as an assistant examiner at East India House. The submission to the Board of Trade summarizing the views of the Court of Directors responds to complaints from tea-dealers in Edinburgh that the company was failing to adequately supply the home market forcing prices upwards and delivering inferior products. Peacock's "provisional appointment. was approved by the court of directors in May 1819 as part of a larger experiment to open the higher posts in the examiner's office to outside talent. At the East India House he showed great skill in drafting dispatches and his appointment was confirmed in April 1821 with a salary rise to £800. His subsequent career was one of steady advancement" ODNB. This document is a provisional draft differing somewhat in wording and content from the final version published in parliamentary papers and signed by Joseph Dart the company's secretary. The document is discussed in the expansive 1924-34 edition of Peacock's works: "The latest Peacock MS. to be discovered consists of his 'Observations on a Memorial which has been presented to the Right Honourable the Lords Commissioners of His Majesty's Treasury from certain Tea-dealers of the City of Edinburgh.' It is a pencil draft written on paper bearing the East India Company's watermark probably in 1824 the date '6th February 1824' is mentioned in the Postscript and the first paragraph explains that the Memorial having been transmitted 'for the consideration and remarks of the Court of Directors of the East India Company the Court have taken the subject into due consideration and submit their observations accordingly.'" Brett-Smith & Jones pp. 461-2. Accompanying this manuscript is a small portion from a manuscript seemingly unpublished Peacock wrote for the London Magazine. It concerns the pleasures of the scenery of Surrey. Bifolia 315 x 200 mm watermarked East India Company J. Whatman 1821 written across 3 sides in pencil with 20th-century typescript transcription couple of handwritten amendments. Provenance: Thomas Love Peacock 1785-1866 - by descent to Edith Nicholls Peacock's granddaughter her handwritten note on the front of the bifolium in which the manuscript is housed: "I suppose this to be part of an article on Indian exports by T.L.P. but it is almost impossible to read it" - reported by Brett-Smith & Jones as acquired in February 1933 by Roger Ingpen 1868-1936 the literary scholar specializing in Shelley and his circle - Charles Dudley Massey 1905-1980 - by descent to Stephen C. Massey. 10 bifolia and single sheet 335 x 210 mm watermarked East India Company J. Whatman 1823 written across 32 sides in pencil enclosed in bifolium of same paper. Enclosed in folded sheet of brown paper folded down to 295 x 210 mm. Toning nicking and other signs of handling more so to enclosing bifolium: very good. H. F. B.
