Reminiscences of 1857 or the Defence of Lucknow.

1891189414Lucknow: Printed at the N. N. Sivapuri Press 1891. Siege of Lucknow from the most exposed post - an Indian Rebellion eyewitness account of extraordinary rarity First and only edition - signed by the author on the last page - of this detailed firsthand account of the defence of Lucknow written by Matthew Rutland Joyce 1828-1911 in Uncovenanted Service the lower echelons of the ICS in the Judicial Garrison. Only the second recorded copy the Oxford University copy apparently lacking the initial leaf with excerpted passages from Tennyson's "The Defence of Lucknow". Joyce prefaces his narrative by explaining that it was written "for the information of those of my relatives and friends who were battling for their lives in other parts of the country or who were too young to remember". With no pretensions to being a "faithful history" of the period it is "simply a chronicle of such occurrences within the Residency defences. as memory retained and can be interesting to none but those few active participants in the great struggle who yet survive" p. i. The story which follows is all the more fascinating for its personlalized focus naming many of the most familiar names but introducing a cast of lesser-known characters to the famous story further broadening and humanizing the standard narrative. Presented in diary form the text follows Joyce through the preparation of the defences his training with an antiquated Brown Bess for the volunteer infantry brushes with death from both fever and enemy fire to the final relief and evacuation of the Residency "There was some confusion and heartaches in the matter packing up our belongings for the orders were peremptory that nothing but things necessary were to be taken out; and it certainly went against the grain to leave behind cherished articles". Joyce is a lively and personable storyteller his recollections of "the eternal din of musketry" of the rebels'' profligate firing the privations of the diminishing rations and the imminent threat of death are recounted in vivd vernacular style and his tales are often self-deprecating. In recounting what was despite his many "narrow escapes" "first and only" wound he explains how he would not have alluded to it "had there not been so much of the ludicrous about it". During the assault on Phillips's Garden which was being menaced by a rebel battery Joyce crafts himself "a capital loop-hole embrasure fashion" out of "substantial bricks" on top of the mud-brick wall overlooking the position. The result being much admired. While on watch he spots movement at the gun and foolishly fires off a round in the hope of "staying their purpose for a moment of two" which of course registers the rebels' aim and the gun was "presently laid and discharged". Joyce dives behind the wall for cover the shot clips the masonry of the house behind the shock dislodging the topmost bricks of his loop-hole which fell on his "bowed head and laid it open causing all over and inside it a sensation such as I had never felt before" pp. 71-3. Joyce was on the staff of the Judicial Garrison the Judicial Commissioner's Kutchery or Court House post a very exposed position during the siege. He and his brother Richard Christopher who served with the volunteer cavalry "Radcliffe's Horse" covering the withdrawal from the debacle at Chinhut were in the Uncovenanted Service a perhaps under-represented group in the history of British India. Originally introduced to offer opportunities for Indians or Anglo-Indians to join the Indian Civil Service covering key but less specialized administrative roles at commensurately lower salaries and with thinner employment rights the service had already began to attract a wider constituency before the expansion of the post-Rebellion government. By the 1880s voices were being raised on their behalf in the parliament to secure a levelling up of the benefits for their vital contributions to the increasingly complex bureaucracy of the Raj. Joyce was born in Agra post-Rebellion he was for a time curator of the Lucknow Museum and the donor of a number of specimens to the natural history section he was buried in the Residency Cemetery Lucknow. Beyond this we have been unable to trace earlier family connections with India and unfortunately within the text he tells us little of his background. Small octavo pp. ii iv 119 1. Original printed covers pebble-grain cloth backstrip. Externally overall a little browned rubbed and soiled but no loss of text to the covers endpapers browned; text toned but cleaned and sound; overall a surprisingly well preserved copy very good. hardcover

Originally founded as Éditions Narcisse and a vehicle to print their own works by mid-1928 The Black Sun Press had become a vital channel between artists and writers and a select group of readers and collectors who appreciated finely bound hand-set books. Working in Rue Cardinale with Master Printer Roger Lescaret the press issued limited editions of the first unexpurgated editions of D.H. Lawrence's 'Sun' and 'The Escaped Cock' Kay Boyle's 'Short Stories' Archibald MacLeish's 'Einstein' Eugene Jolas's 'Secession in Astropolis' a volume of 'Les Liaisons Dangereuses' and Hart Crane's 'The Bridge' among other works. After Harry Crosby's death in 1929 Caresse continued the work of Black Sun Press issuing editions of Joyce's 'Collected Poems' 1936 and works by Proust Faulkner Hemingway Crevel Eluard and Ernst Bukowski and Olson.

Secure hinges and binding. Remains of pencil note to the front free endpaper. Tanning to the first and final blank leaves as usual owing to the acidity of the endpapers.

The notoriously fragile dust jacket has some nicks short tears and small chips to the extremities and spine ends; and two larger areas of loss to the rear panel. Preserved in an archival mylar cover. - "riverrun past Eve and Adam's"Finnegans Wake is James Joyce's final novel the culmination of seventeen years of experimentation that carried modernism to its outer limit. Conceived as a single night's dream encompassing all of human history it transforms the lives of a Dublin publican his wife and their children into an endlessly recursive myth of fall and renewal. Written in a polyglot language that fuses English with fragments from dozens of tongues the book compresses folklore theology and gossip into a dense musical weave that dissolves the boundaries between story song and history. Emerging after Ulysses as both its sequel and inversion Finnegans Wake rejected the realist novel entirely recasting fiction as a linguistic symphony meant to be heard as much as read. Its publication in 1939 divided critics and bewildered readers yet it soon became one of the central monuments of twentieth-century literature studied for its innovations in language structure and sound. Once dismissed as unreadable it has since shaped the methods of Beckett Burgess and Pynchon and remains unmatched in its ambition to encompass the whole of human speech within a single book.Inventory ID: 075 - 479 - 805 Faber and Faber Limited
