A Story of Britain's South-East Asian Commercial Adventure
Here is a history of a Scottish entrepreneur, Alexander Guthrie, and the company he founded that established trade between Britain and South-Esat Asia.
Guthries began in the small settlement of Singapore, but soon expanded. The two-way trade became extensive and was intimately connected to major events in British history.
It is a colourful story, full of drama and human interest; there is piracy, smuggling and intrigue.
