John Cree's pamphlet

What is perhaps most surprising about this pamphlet is that John Cree went to the trouble of having it printed at all. Note the similarities between this and John's correspondence with East India Company officials during his period as a merchant at Dacca. In both cases he assembles a set of supporting documents and numbers them no. 1, 2, 3, etc. What we are showing here is a facsimile of the printed booklet.

We only know of one extant copy of this pamphlet.


A letter written by John Cree at the same period is also reproduced, although it has no bearing on the content of the pamphlet, to show his handwriting style and ornate (to modern eyes at any rate) signature. See the Letter from John Cree, Spa, (Belfast, PRONI manuscript T2761/53).
