Excerpt from The Embassy of Sir Thomas Roe to the Court of the Great Mogul, 1615-1619

The mission of Sir Thomas Roe to the court of jahangir was not only a remarkable episode in the life of a remark able man, but an event of high importance in the history both of England and of India; for the footing which was then obtained, largely through his energy and wisdom, by the despised traders from the West, proved to be but the first step in a march of conquest which has only of late years reached its limits, and the scarlet liveries which escorted the ambassador through Rajputana were prophetic of a time when a descendant of King james should rule over an Indian empire vaster and infinitely more prosperous than ever owned the sway of a Mogul.
