Second editions of the first two parts of Wagner's grand description of Hungary, the Ottoman Empire, the Middle East and the Orient. First published in 1684/85, the work catered to a rapidly growing interest in eastern geography and all things oriental in the wake of the 1683 Battle of Vienna and the ongoing Turkish War. While the author would later expand the scope of his work to include India and East Asia, the present set covers the kingdom of Hungary (still largely under Ottoman rule), the Balkan states, the Mediterranean and Anatolia, the Holy Land, Syria and Palestine, Mesopotamia, Assyria, Chaldea, as well as Arabia and parts of Africa. Apart from the principal fortresses in Hungary, views include the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem, the Egyptian pyramids, Constantinople, Vienna, Rome and Venice, Lepanto, Cairo, Aden, Damascus, Sissek, Nauplia, and Kotor. Camels and crocodiles are illustrated, as are the tamarind tree and other tropical plants, with accompanying descriptions of the Turkish flora and fauna, the Ottoman court, manners, and potentates. An extensive chapter in pt. 1 (pp. 99-109) discusses Arabia, including Mecca and the Hajj. - Binding somewhat rubbed and scuffed. Paper insignificantly browned; untrimmed as issued. A near-contemporary note of acquisition on the pastedown states that the book was bought thus for 8 guilders in Amsterdam on 19 September 1924 from the local bookseller Samuel Schönewald ("Ao. 1724 den 19ten Sept. in Amsterdam von dem Buchführer Samuel Schönewaldt mit den 2ten Theil zusammen gekauft vor 8 fl."). Latterly in the library of the Viennese collector Werner Habel (1939-2015), with his handwritten and stamped ownership, dated 1978, to the pastedown. Very well preserved. - Even single volumes are usually not encountered complete with all plates as present; not a single copy with all four volumes in the trade or at auctions of the last decades. The only comparable copy (still lacking vol. IV) was auctioned in 2009 (Sotheby's London, 13 Nov. 2008, £20,000). VD 17, 3:301648N & cf. 39:135607B. Graesse VI/2, 409. Cat. Fischer Libr. 621.

This book seeks to explain the principles of tribal law which Santals of the Santal Parganas accept as defining their civil rights and duties. These principles cover a wide range of subjects such as the rights of Santal men and women, the law of marriage and divorce, the claims which arise at the crises of birth, sickness and death. Moreover, the tribe as a whole is also an important subject for law and, besides explaining the rights of the village community, it describes in detail the functions of the tribal courts and the duties of village officials as well as the trial of Santal suits. The influence of Hindus, Muslims and Christians on Santal laws has been analysed as well. About The Author:- W.G. Acher carried has passion for poetry and Indian art into his administrative career spread over sixteen years in the Indian Civil Service. In December 1942, he was appointed Deputy Commissioner of the Santal Parganas. Before he finally left India on premature retirement, he worked as Additional Deputy Commissioner, Mokokchung in Nagaland from November 1946 to February 1948. After 1949, Archer emerged as an eminent specialist on Indian paintings, culture and poetry, and became Keeper of the Indian Department of Victoria and Albert Museum, London. His interest in Indian folk art reflects in the publication of The Vertical Man: A Study of Primitive Indian Sculpture (1947).

About The Book : I wish I could close my letter with this brief testimonial to the worth of the excellent and humane Judge who has just fallen by the dagger of the assassin; but there is a political question of such very grave importance raised in the correspondence-under notice, regarding which, looking to the relationship in which I have stood to the educated Mohammadans of Bengal for the past twelve or four- teen years, I feel it my duty to them, as well as to the Government which I have the honour to serve, to do my best to aid the public in comet to a right conclusion. I allude to the charges of disloyalty to the Queen which this melancholy event has called forth from correspondents in your columns against Her Majesty’s Indian Mohammadan subjects—charges made general rather by implication than by direct statements. These charges have been indignantly repelled, I am glad to observe, by “A Mahomedan” in his letter of the 27th ult., published in your issue of the day following. I not only firmly believe in the sincerity of the professions of loyalty and fidelity to which this writer has given utterance, but I desire to add my concurrence in his sentiments so far as they affect the great body of his coreligionists in India, who, I am quite certain, will repudiate with indignation and horror the crime which has been committed by one of their body. About The Author : William Nassau Lees (1825-1889) was a British Army officer in India, known as an orientalist. Educated at Nut Grove and at Trinity College, Dublin, but took no degree. He was appointed to a Bengal cadetship in 1846, and was posted to the 42nd Regiment of Bengal Native Infantry as ensign in March 1846. He became lieutenant in July 1853, captain in September 1858, major in June 1865, lieutenant-colonel in 1868, colonel in 1876, and major-general in 1885, having been placed on the supernumerary list in 1884.
