This extensive eight-volume work was first published between 1867 and 1877 by the linguist John Dowson (1820-81) from the manuscripts of the colonial administrator and scholar Sir Henry Miers Elliot (1808-53). Before his death, hoping to bolster British colonial ideology, Elliot had intended to evaluate scores of Arabic and Persian historians of India, believing that his translations would demonstrate the violence of the Muslim rulers and 'make our native subjects more sensible of the immense advantages accruing to them under the mildness and the equity of our rule'. The collection is therefore not only valuable for its translation into English of many important extracts of sources from the ninth century to the nineteenth, but it also serves as a fascinating example of the use of historiography as a colonial tool.

Reliure de l'époque (vers 1800) veau raciné, dos lisses richement ornés, pièces de titre de maroquin rouge, pastille de maroquin noir mosaïquée avec fleurette dorée, tranches citron, roulette dorée sur les coupes. Reliure de très belle facture, probablement anglaise. Infimes frottements, sinon très fraîches reliures, intérieur également très frais imprimé sur beau papier, sans rousseurs notables. A noter une petite brûlure du cuir sur un mors (coulure acide) sans gravité. Texte en anglais. The Second edition La première édition de ce texte date de 1791 (même éditeur). 'In his sixty-eighth year the perusal of Major James Rennell's 'Memoir on the Map of Hindustan' (1793) set Robertson again to work, and within a year, encouraged by Gibbon, he brought out his 'Historical Disquisition concerning the Knowledge which the Antients had of India .' The book concluded with a wise hope that the account 'of the early and high civilisation of India, and of the wonderful progress of its inhabitants in elegant arts and useful science, may have some influence upon the behaviour of Europeans towards that people.' L'ouvrage est divisé en 4 sections plus un important appendice et des notes : Intercourse with India, from the earliest Times, until the Conquest of Egypt by the Romans. Intercourse with India, from the establishment of the Roman Dominion in Egypt, to the Conquest of that Kingdom by the Mahomedans. Intercourse with India, from the Conquest of Egypt by the Mahomedans, to the Discovery of the Passage by the Cape of Good Hope, and the Establishment of the Portugese Dominion in the East. General observations. Ces recherches historiques sur l'Inde ancienne sont estimées. Il s'agit du dernier ouvrage de l'auteur. On y trouve notamment un intéressant chapitre sur le commerce de la soie. La première traduction française date de 1792. Provenance : Ex libris gravé monogramme non identifié. Très bel exemplaire conservé dans sa première et très fine reliure en veau raciné

The captions place the central figure in the company of "Carroll Sahib" Ken Davis and other men in uniform-style dress while repeated references to the "mess" weapon training staff and cantonment-like grounds situate the photographs within a British colonial wartime environment in central India. The group shows one participant moving between military or officer-adjacent daily life and the monumental landscape of Mandu at a moment when India remained a crucial base of Allied wartime activity.<br /> <br /> Photo archive of 43 silver gelatin photographs ranging from 2 x 3.5 to 2.5 x 2.5 inches Mhow and Mandu India 1942-1943.

The landscape scenes broaden that record further including steep ravines river and waterfall views and plateau panoramas that place the serviceman's movements within the wider terrain of central India.<br /> <br /> During World War II Mhow remained an important cantonment in British India and these photographs place one serviceman within the daily social world of that station where tennis communal dining staff housing local attendants and holiday gatherings existed alongside travel to nearby historic sites. The Mandu views record the same hand moving through one of central India's best-known Sultanate monument complexes with captions naming the Jami Masjid Jahaz Mahal Rupmati's Pavilion Baz Bahadur's Palace and associated interiors courtyards pools and landscape features. Light general wear occasional silvering and minor handling marks; inscriptions strong and legible on most versos.
