From the rear side cover: The story of Greek trade in India and the Hellenic presence in Bengal and northern India from the time of the 'Company'. This unique account follows the fortunes of notable families such as the Chiots (Rallis), the Corfiots and the Paniotys from their origins in Europe to their development and settlement in India. The author, himself one of them, writes with rare insight on their integration into Indo-British life while retaining their cultural identity, and provides details in Appendices of all known Greek Merchants in Calcutta, Dacca and elsewhere in India between 1750 and 1853.

The condition of the book is generally very good. The covers have one or two very minor scuffs, but the spine is intact and all pages are clean, intact, unblemished and tightly bound.
