Excerpt from List of Factory Records of the Late East India Company: Preserved in the Record Department of the India Office, London After the union of the two East India Companies, at the beginning of the eighteenth century, the acquisitions of territory in the East became both more frequent and more extensive, and the subsequent years of the Company's existence may, therefore, not inappropriately be designated as the Territorial Period. Most of the minor factories did not send home their proceedings to England, neither did they, as a rule, communicate directly with the East India Company, but only through the principal factories to which they were subordinate, - such as Bantam, Surat, Fort St. George, Bombay or Calcutta. In the following observations it is not intended to give details regarding those factories for which no separate records now exist at this Office; whilst, with regard to the others, only some brief particulars will be given relative to their first establishment, and, when abolished, the dates at which they either ceased to be maintained as permanent trading stations, or were classed as Presidencies, from which time their Proceedings are embodied in the series of Presidency Records.
