224 pages including index. One hundred and fifty years ago the British planter arriving in India or Ceylon could hardly expect a bungalow, a deep freeze, a television - let alone an orderly estate of tea bushes. The scene would rather be the dense tropical jungle, disease-carrying insects, and prowling beasts of prey. He would work and live alone, and bivouac for months on end under tropical rains with but the scantiest of provisions. That is why this book is entitled The Pioneers. Author, who was a planter in Ceylon, has done much research covering the pre 1900 period, putting together a description in words and pictures of how these pioneers lived. Amazingly, although a few books of personal reminiscences by planters have been published in the distant past, Weatherstone's achievement has never before been attempted.... To anyone who has lived in India, Ceylon, Imperial China - or indeed any tea producing country - this work will have a strong nostalgic appeal. To those in the tea and coffee trades - even to the keener drinkers - it is an education, an exciting view into a near-forgotten world. But to the thinning ranks of retired planters, it is simply a must." - from dust jacket. Nearly 350 illustrations in colour and black and white.

New German Original bdg. HC. Elephant folio. (67 x 51 cm). -Text book: 30 x 24 cm- In German. 2 volumes set: ([xii], [vii], [Lii], 140 p., 2 plates.; 39 color and b/w plts. (Tafeln)). Limited reprint edition (all copies are numbered) of 1854-1855 Berlin edition of Salzenberg's book exemplifying a growing 19th-century appreciation of Romanesque and 'Byzantine' architecture. For the original edition see Blackmer 1483; Brunet V, 103. "Salzenberg's important work remains the major source of information about the mosaics of St. Sophia". (Blackmer). 1000 copies were printed for individual persons. This copy belonged to 'Ender S. Özer Bagciman. All copies were numbered. (651/1000). The churches Salzenberg describes illustrating the development of a Christian architecture away from the secular long nave basilica or of the classical temple (never intended for congregational use), to a Greek-cross plan with a central dome, allowing greater accessibility to the altar table. Most of the text is devoted to the cathedral of the Holy Wisdom [i.e. Hagia Sophia], built-in Constantinople for Justinian I by Anthemius of Tralles and Isidore of Miletus, who dared to set a large dome over a square with the support of pendentives, achieving, with eastern and western half-domes, an uninterrupted span of over 200 feet. This building provided a model or inspiration to architects of the Middle East and Europe seeking to experiment with central, domed structures.
