The moment a Company's servant arrives in India, and his English connections are known to be powerful, some of that class of people immediately take possession of him, as if he were their inheritance.

They have knowledge of the country and its affairs; they have money; they have the arts of making money.

The gentleman who comes from England has none of these; he enters into that world, as he enters into the world at large, naked.

His portion is great simplicity, great indigence, and a strong disposition to relieve himself.
