190775557N.p.: N.p. 1907-1912. This officer was on the rise apparently as he was constantly moved from camp to camp. The album contains 214 original silver gelatin photographs. When he started the officer was based in India and up until photograph 154 all of the pictures are of sights in India Ceylon Mauritius and Rangoon. Thankfully very few of these are family portraits as the officer seemed to delight in the local people and terrain. He is next situated in Pretoria at King's Hill Harrismith. He seemed to have a relaxing time there mainly lounging around the army camp and a very nice one at that Robert's Heights. It was founded around 1905 by the British Army and called Robert's Heights after Field Marshal Lord Roberts. There are numerous captains and generals named in the album but we could not discern the photographer's name but we do know he was a avid golfer. While in Ceylon he took photographs of many of the greens at that course. He did this again in South Africa. There are also numerous photographs of the whole brigade in formation and on exercises. Included but not bound in are eight large photographs 11 1/2 x 9 1/4 inches mainly of military formations. Also included are five medium sized 8 1/2 x 6 1/2 inches photographs and these are of a more domestic nature. Most of the photographs in the album are 4 3/4 x 3 3/4 inches and the vast majority of them are captioned. All housed in the original album of half red roan over red cloth. A few photographs loose from their stubs but hanging in there front joint split but the album still holding together. Really an essay could be written about this album but the cataloger ran out of time. N.p. hardcover

184128003112New York 1841-1848. Edge wear particularly heavy on the back strip. Binding is loose but intact. Minor water stains on the back cover. The ink blotting paper used by the owner is included in the back of the journal. Penciling on some interior pages. Missing bottom of one page. . A diary/common place book from New York in the 1840s. It belonged to a young woman named India Allen. Not much biographical information is known about India beyond the fact that she lived at 6 Washington Square New City. Based on her writing it is clear that she and her family comes from some means and moved within some very high social circles. The first half of this journal is mostly quotes from a variety of well-known authors such as Longfellow De Ponte Wilde and Pitt Palmer. The majority of these quote entries are dated between 1841 -1846. At the start of the New Year in 1846 India begins to record almost daily entries until June of the same year. These short entries detail her daily life what she did each day read sew who she called on and the events or dinners she went to. While they are short they are sometimes quite humorous. On January 3 she writes Went to a party enjoyed myself tolerably. In 1848 India goes into great detail about a wedding she attended in May of 1848 listing other guests and gifts that were received. Additionally around this time are some of Indias most emotional entries as she describes the death of her very close friend Fidelia Marshall 1826-1848. In two entries which she titled A Brief Sketch on the Last Hours of my Departed Friend and Obituary Written upon the Death of My Friend. These two entries in particular showcase Indias intelligent and reflective disposition. The rest of the journal is again filled with quotes from literature as well as a few recipes such as Cayenne Pepper Tea meant for sore throats. Measures 7 3/4" x 6 1/2". <br/><br/> unknown books

Esemplare completo anche delle due carte spesso assenti ed in buone-ottime condizioni di conservazione. Prima edizione italiana di questa importante studio dedicato all’India ed al commercio con essa, scritta dal noto storico, storiografo, teologo scozzese William Robertson (Borthwick, 19 settembre 1721 – Edinburgo, 11 giugno 1793). Rettore dell’Università di Edimburgo per quasi trent’anni, ha dato contributi notevoli alla storia dell’sud America, della Spagna e della Scozia stessa. Cappellano del Castello di Stiriling, fu anche cappllano del re in Scozia. Fedele presbiteriano e un whig, si offrì volontario per difendere la città contro i giacobiti guidati dal principe Carlo Edoardo Stuart nel 1745. Nel 1754 fu un membro originale della Select Society, indicata anche come la Edinburgh Select Society. Le sue opere “Storia della Scozia fra il 1542 e 1603” (1759) e “Storia d’America” (1777), sono considerati alcune delle opere storiche più importanti del settecento. Figura preminente dell’illuminismo scozzese, fu tra i fondatori della Royal Society di Edimburgo. Nel 1791, il celebre storico scozzese, William Robertson, pubblicò il suo ultimo lavoro, “An Historical Disquisition concerning the Knowledge which the Ancients had of India”, nel quale esplorò i collegamenti commerciali e culturali dell'India e dell'Occidente dai tempi antichi fino alla fine del il XV secolo. Questo studio è considerato fra i primi esempi del movimento "orientalista" britannico e dello studio dell'espansione del dominio britannico in India. Per certi versi il suo lavoro che pur rifletteva i presupposti e gli approcci della scuola orientalista britannica, probabilmente anche in risposta alle critiche mosse a Robertson secondo le quali la sua precedente Storia dell'America era stata troppo sprezzante nei confronti delle culture amerindi, andò oltre rispetto a molti orientalisti nella sua interpretazione positiva della cultura indiana e della loro opposizione a una politica imperiale interventista e repressiva. In effetti, il lavoro era in gran parte diretto a preservare l'antica e sofisticata civiltà indiana dall'imperialismo culturale occidentale. La visione favorevole di Robertson su ciò che percepiva come credenze monoteiste alla base dell'induismo “classico”, rivela molto sui suoi atteggiamenti religiosi come sacerdote e leader del partito “moderato” nella Chiesa di Scozia. La sua storia dell'India verrà sottovalutata in Gran Bretagna (nonostante le sue grandi vendite), in gran parte, non per il valore dell’opera in sé, indubitabile, ma per la situazione politico, religiosa e sociale del Regno Unito dell’epoca. Le sue tesi sull'induismo e la sua critica delle missioni cristiane, non potevano che esser in contrasto con la crescente ondata di risveglio evangelico che stava vivendo in quegli anni il suo paese natale. Tuttavia, la sua opera, grazie anche alle numerose traduzioni, venne lentamente recuperata e valorizzata, con il passare degli anni, arrivando ad avere un ruolo di primaria importanza nel promuovere l'interesse per l'India, nel continente europeo e rappresentò uno dei risultati più significativi del tardo illuminismo scozzese.
