Tea Leaves / Being a Collection of Letters and Documents relating to / the shipment of Tea to the American Colonies in the year / 1773, by the East India Tea Company. (With an introduction, / notes, and biographical notices of the Boston Tea Party)

An editor compiles original letters, company papers, and other contemporary documents relating to the East India Company's 1773 tea shipments and colonial responses, and introduces them with an essay, annotations, and biographical notices. The correspondence from consignees and related records details the shipment logistics, commercial arrangements, and the immediate disputes over parliamentary duties, framing those facts within the larger context of non-importation and constitutional grievance. The introduction surveys fiscal and political tensions that led to the tea's destruction, while appended portraits, autographs, and concise biographies identify many individuals involved and restore local background to the event.
