The article presents information on the book "Indian Finance in the Days of the Company," by Pramathnatha Banerjea. Textbooks on Indian finance and economics are few and far between hence any attempts that are made by popular writers to throw light on these subjects ought to be welcomed by the country in general and by students of economics in particular. The hook contains many details and vivid ones, too-of the financial burden involved in fighting Great Britain's wars outside of India, and the agony of the company's directors in not being able to withstand the loot of India's resources for service of the Crown abroad.
