108549London Printed for T. Cadell Jun. and W. Davies 1798. . First and only edition 8vo 22 x 14.5 cm; armorial bookplate of Sir Archibald Grant of Monymoske to front pastedown dated advertisement half title occasional light spotting; morocco back marbled boards title in gilt to spine corners lightly rubbed; 53 1pp. A very good copy.<br /> The anonymous reply by an officer of the East India Company to Eyle Irwin's d.1817 An Enquiry into the Feasibility of the Supposed Expedition of Buonaparte to the East 1798. In his treatise Irwin born in Calcutta to an officer of the Company had downplayed Napoleon's purported ambition to conquer British possessions in Asia following his defeat in the Battle of the Nile. <br /><br />Without wishing to 'damp the universal joy' which had infected the public mood following Nelson's victory at the Nile earlier in the year the anonymous author of the Reply sounds a more cautionary note urging his readers not to allow their current enthusiasm to become reckless jingoism. Diagnosing the issue as an 'aversion to bestow praise on an enemy' the author predicted that an alliance of French and Russian forces could undertake a joint invasion of India a threat which almost came true but for Napoleon's reluctance to expose his already army tired army to defeat. <br /><br />ESTC records copies at only four locations in the British Isles BL Derry and Raphoe Diocesan Library King's College London and the Royal Irish Academy and a further six in North America Kansas Missouri NYPL Rutgers UTS and Virginia.<br /> ESTC T44625.

7464A Londres, et se trouve à Paris Chez Madame veuve Laurent Prault, 1787. In 8 de IV-224 pp.
London, Edward Orme, [fra il 1809 e il 1820]. Serie di 15 belle incisioni in rame (la tecnica è quella del punteggiato), accuratamente acquerellate a mano all'epoca, raffiguranti musicisti indiani e i loro strumenti. Le incisioni sono datate in lastra 1804 o 1805 (gli anni nei quali furono incise), alcune recano la sottoscrizione "Bart. Solvyns pinx, Calcutta". Tutte sono numerate. I fogli misurano 332x252 circa e sono tutti inseriti in passe-partout. Provenienti dall'opera "The costume of Indostan" edita la prima volta a Londra nel 1804-1805 da Edward Orme, e che rielaborava le acqueforti di Frans Balthasar Solvyns (1760-1824) realizzate per l'opera "A collections of two hundred and fifty colored etchings: descriptive of the manner, customs and dresses of the Hindoos" (Calcutta 1799). La versione di Orme era ridotta nel numero di tavole (solo 60), ma la qualità delle stesse era ottima, forse migliore delle originali. La prima edizione di Orme risale al 1804-1805. Questa bella raccolta di musicisti proviene da una edizione di poco successiva al 1809 (alcune tavole, pur su "wove paper", recano in filigrana la data di produzione della carta: "Edmeads & Co. 1809; una 1802). Gli strumenti raffigurati sono: D'Hauk, Jutrung, A D'Holuc, A Tubla, Saringee, Kaura, Nagra, Surmungla, Jugo Jhumpo, Pukwauz, A Sunk or Chank, A Tumboora, A Sittara or Guitar, A Sarinda or Violin, Pennauck or Been. Ottime condizioni.
