Excerpt from The Substance of the Speech of Mr. Joseph Hume, at the East-India House, on the 6th of October, 1813: Upon the Motion for an Increase of the Salaries to the Directors of the East-India Company In the endeavour to commit to paper from recollection, and at some distance of time, the substance of the following Speech, it is probable that, not only the term of the expression, but also, in some instances, the arrangement of the topics, may have been varied; and, one or two points may have been introduced, which were adverted to, not in that debate, but in the discussions connected with the same subject But there is no deviation from the general course of argument and opinion pursued on those occasions. A very fair report of the speech has been printed (by Black and Parry) in the Debates at the India-House; and, it was not at first intended to have printed any other, because it was confidently expected that the General Court on the 23d instant, would have come to a final decision on the subject, The question now before the General Court, though only to half the extent of increase which was originally intended, is, in principle so objectionable, and, as to time, so inadmissible, that it is for the serious consideration of the Proprietors, previous to the 5th of April, that it has been determined hastily to print and circulate this Speech!
