本文探讨了世纪上半叶英国东印度公司商人在印度西海岸的私人贸易网络。现有的研究英国私人贸易在印度洋几乎完全集中在印度的东海岸，科罗曼德海岸和孟加拉湾地区。本文认为，从西印度洋的角度来看私人贸易提供了一个不同的图片，这一重要的分支的欧洲贸易。它使用EIC记录和商人的私人文件来反对最近以大都市为中心的英国私人贸易方法，而是强调在印度洋世界范围内更本地化的政治和经济背景的重要性，以塑造这种商业的行为和成功。
This article explores the private trade networks of English East India Company merchants on the west coast of India during the first half of the eighteenth century. Existing studies of English private trade in the Indian Ocean have almost exclusively focused on India's eastern seaboard, the Coromandel Coast and the Bay of Bengal regions. This article argues that looking at private trade from the perspective of the western Indian Ocean provides a different picture of this important branch of European trade. It uses EIC records and merchants' private papers to argue against recent metropolitan-centred approaches to English private trade, instead emphasising the importance of more localised political and economic contexts, within the Indian Ocean world, for shaping the conduct and success of this commerce.
