3 reports in one issue, altogether 45 pages. Plus a fold-out graph. Original condition with blue wrappers, titles to front, and containing all the ads. This is a complete issue, seldom found in such good and original condition. The three authors outline methods and intricacies in the surveying of unknown regions and vastly unique terrains, while also elucidating their contemporaries to customs and law in Indian territories in which great potential is seen for the British Empire. Barron expounds on the complex system of proprietary and cultivating tenures, claimed by decendants of ancient lineage, conquerors of the latter, village headmen fighting for hereditary rights, farmers and servants of the State, each ultimately contributing to a most profitbale source of revenue for the Indian Government.

Detailed analysis of Banian and Parsi creationist beliefs, including the first humans, the first and second age of the world, God's communication to the world through Bremaw's book (Banian), ceremonial law, order of government, the derivation and meaning of 'Banian,' and 'Persee,' and more. This is the first printed summary of Hindu doctrines and practices to appear in Europe. Topics examined include idolatry, fire worship, immortality, rapture, vegetarianism, the Indian caste system and Hindu theory of world cycles - specifically Satya Yuga and Treta Yuga, as well as Persian migration to the East Indies, the prophet Zerdusht (Zarthusthra, Zarthost), so forth. A fascinating early treatise. Henry Lord's book was the first in English to be entirely devoted to discussion of Indian religions, and represents the first serious attempt to go beyond reports by travellers of the strange religious beliefs and practices that they had observed in India. Initially publishing his account in 1630, Lord was a chaplain, rather than a missionary, and made a serious attempt to understand the religions rather than condemn them. The display was used as a source by later European writers on Indian religions, most notably François Bernier. "Lord was sometime resident in India at Surat and Preacher to the Honourable Company of Merchants trading to East India (Cox I p.270)." Folio, measuring approximately 13.5 inches x 9 inches. 42 pages, numbered from 315 to 356, plus title page. In itself complete, this account is from Churchill's eight-volume work which contained numerous travel narratives, and was titled "A Collection of Voyages and Travels, Some Now First Printed from Original Manuscripts. Others Now First Published in English." These are the original pages printed in 1752. Mild foxing, otherwise in very good condition, clean and bright with wide margins, a lovely example of early printing. Attractively bound in recent green cardstock covers with label.
brossura Il regno dell'Arabia Saudita occupa gran parte della Penisola arabica, una terra che nell'immaginario collettivo si associa vagamente a vasti deserti, fiorenti oasi e nomadi beduini che a dorso di dromedario attraversano le sue immense distese. I Romani la chiamavano Arabia Deserta, eppure echi di un passato favoloso sono riportati nei testi dell'Antico Testamento e dagli autori classici, che riferiscono di grandi tribù e città carovaniere. Oggi l'archeologia restituisce finalmente a questa regione il suo ruolo nell'ambito degli studi sul Vicino Oriente antico, svelandone le problematiche e l'immensa ricchezza del patrimonio storico e culturale. Il velo di mistero si solleva e si aprono di fronte a noi le storie dei popoli che hanno abitato l'Arabia dalla preistoria all'avvento dell'Islam, inestricabilmente legati alle vicende delle culture della Mesopotamia, del Levante, del Sudarabia e del mondo romano.

Magnifica e vivida tiratura di questa celeberrima carta del territorio egiziano che si sviluppa lungo il corso del fiume Nilo, con parte del territorio dell’Arabia Saudita, dell’Etiopia e Abissinia e del territorio di Suez con ben presente il Mar Rosso con anche evidenziate le profondità. La carta fu stampata dal successore e cognato del grande cartografo Matthaus Seutter (sposò una delle figlie di Seutter), il cartografo, editore ed incisore Tobias Conrad Lotter (1717 - 1777). Lotter, si formò alla bottega di Matthaus Seutter per il quale lavorò. Alla morte di Seutter ne rilevò l’attività che portò avanti fino al 1777 anno della sua morte. L’attività passo poi al figlio, Matthias Albrecht Lotter. Tobias Conrad fu uno dei più apprezzati cartografi del settecento. Il carta si ispira ai dati riportati dal gesuita R. Pere Sicard, da Alphonse Mendez, Emanuel L’Ameyda, Pierre Pays e di altri celebri missionari e studiosi gesuiti. Esemplare in ottime condizioni di conservazione ed in bella coloritura coeva.
