Description:Excerpt from The Diaries of Streynsham Master, 1675-1680, and Other Contemporary Papers Relating Thereto, Vol. 1: The Diary, 1675-1677 While editing the manuscript of Thomas Bowrey for the Hakluyt Society some few years ago, the value of the work of Streynsham Master and the light he throws on Anglo-Indian life in the seventeenth century was forcibly brought home to me. It was, therefore, with great pleasure that I undertook to prepare for the press the accounts he left behind him of his journeys of inspection for the East India Company in 1675-1680. The desirability of publishing the autograph remains of Streynsham Master and of thus putting on record some of the work of the greatest figure of the last quarter of the seventeenth century between Oxenden and Pitt is also shown by comments upon him in a book published while these lines are being written. Bombay in the Making, by Phiroze B. M. Malabari, is a work of no mean research, and yet, from three notices of Master therein, it is evident that the writer has incorrect ideas of the man and his work. He is described, in the first, as 'a factor named Master, ' when quoting a passage from a characteristic letter from him in 1672 (p. 76): in the second, as one of the persons sent by Oxenden to settle affairs in Bombay on its transfer from the Crown to the East India Company, 'which they did in Sept., 1668' (p. 85): in the third as one of the men, of 'more or less doubtful character, ' who joined the New (English) Company in 1698 (p. 214).
