Date:

1823/1823

Description:

Abstract: The volume consists of correspondence addressed to the Resident in the Persian Gulf in 1823. Initially, Captain John Macleod fills the role of Resident, but he is replaced following his death by Lieutenant-Colonel Ephraim Gerrish Stannus towards the end of the year. This file is made up of correspondence selected from four separate volumes and bound together in chronological order; it is far from a complete set.The content of the correspondence relates to British political relations in the Persian Gulf; more specifically, relations with Oman and Persia, along with matters related to the enforcement of the General Treaty with the Arab Tribes of the Persian Gulf of 1820. It also concerns itself with the restoration of the Banī Bū ‘Alī tribe to their native territory, from which they were removed by a British Expedition against them in 1821.Physical description: Foliation: The foliation sequence commences at the title page and terminates at the last folio of text (f 53); these numbers are written in pencil, are circled, and can be found in the top right corner of the recto side of each folio.Pagination: The volume contains original pagination in ink. However, it is inconsistent because the letters have been taken from separate volumes, then later combined in chronological order. The pagination therefore does not reflect the order of the present volume.
