Penang under the East India Company 'Penang under the East India Company: 1786-1858' is a fully illustrated hard-back coffee-table book that charts the early years of Penang's development, from the landing of Francis Light in 1786 until the British government assumed control of the Straits Settlements in 1858. The book explores the background to the East India Company's decision to establish a settlement on Penang and the difficulties encountered with the Sultanate of Kedah. Thereafter, the book charts Penang's steady development, looking at its people, economy, administration and architecture. The book is lavishly illustrated and designed for the lay reader and student alike. All profits will go to the Lighthouse Children's Home. Previous books by Andrew have raised considerable sums for the home and have also raised its profile amongst corporate donors. Andrew Barber is a former British diplomat who currently lives and works in Kuala Lumpur. He is a Fellow of the Royal Asiatic Society and is author of 'Malaysian Moments' and "Malaya the Making of a Nation - 1510-1957'. Contents Chapter
