- Abstract: Printed memorandum issued by the Eastern (Arabia) Department of the Foreign Office and written by Lieutenant-Colonel Kinahan Cornwallis.The memorandum contains a statement of the policy that should in future be adopted by the British Government in regard to the payment of subsidies to rulers in the Arabian peninsula. The statement was to be submitted to the India Office and the Government of India, and then to the Treasury for final sanction. The memorandum considers:(a) the present position of 'Arab Chiefs' in the matter of subsidies;(b) the obligations to which the British Government are already committed either by treaty, custom or policy;(c) after deducting the amount that these obligations represent, the manner in which the balance of the provisional sum of £100,000 can best be divided among the remaining chiefs, taking into consideration their relative importance, their past and present services, and their capacity to injure or benefit British interests in future.Physical description: Foliation: the foliation sequence commences at 1 on the first folio and terminates at 4 on the last folio.
