An attractive presentation of the scarce first ten publications of this famed archaeological series from the puppet state of Nizam in India.Originally a vassal state of the Mughal government. the state of Hyderabad fell on hard times in the eighteenth century. The Mughal emperor granted the princely state of Hyderabad to Nizam-ul-Mulk the first of a series of Asaf Jahs. A largely autonomous state the Nizams ruled Hyderabad from 1724 to 1947. Late in the eighteenth century the Nizams allied themselves to the British. There were left alone by the British providing they allow the Raj to dictate their foreign policy and provided the Nizams provided soldiers for actions the British took in India. The Nizam’s kingdom was remarkable for its religious tolerance and it secular-orientated rule in general. While the ruling dynasty was Muslim the majority of the population was Hindu. The state adopted a secular administration thereby discouraging religious tensions. Indeed the Nizams built and maintained both Hindu and Muslim temples and facilities. The Kingdom was around the size of France and it was enormously wealthy. Mir Osman Ali Khan the last ruling Nizam of Hyderabad was arguably the richest man on earth in the early 20th century. It all came to an end in 1947 when the newly formed Indian government sent its military to squash the independent state. The state ruled by the Nizam previously called "Hyderabad State" is now primarily part of the Indian state of Telangana. All ten publications are complete and the titles are as follows;1 The New Asokan Edict of Maski. 1915. 2 The Daulatabad Plates of Jagadekamalla A.D. 1017. 19173 Inscriptions at Palampet and Uparpalli. 19194 Pakhal Inscription of the Reign of the Kakatiya Ganapatideva. 19195 Munirabad Stone Inscription of the 13th year of Tribhuvanamala Vikramaditya VI. 1922.6 The Kotagiri Plates of the Reign of the Kakatiya Queen Rudramamba A.D. 1275. 19257 Bodhan Stone Inscription of the Reign of Trailokyamalla Somesvara A.D. 1056. 19258 The Inscriptions of Nagai. 1928.9 Shitab Khan of Warangal by Dr. Hirananda Sastri. 1932.10 The Gavimath and Palkigundu Inscriptions of Asoka.

Second Edition, 88pp., recently bound in quarter red morocco with red cloth boards, spine lettered in gilt, a nice copy. A letter addressed to John Crawfurd, by a native author who bears his views on the inadequacy of present imports, and failure of returns from India. Goldsmiths'-Kress, 26232.100.
First edition, half-title, [4], 99, [1]pp., disbound, half-title detached. A former officer in the East India Company's armies and Commander in Chief of the Great Mogul's Forces, Major John Morrison, returned to Britain in 1772 styled as 'Commander in Chief of the Great Mogul's forces'. Morrison was regarded as a traitor by the East India Company but he did succeed in publishing a pamphlet entitled "The Advantage of an Alliance with the Great Mogul" in 1774. Positioning himself alongside advocates of direct Crown control over Indian territories, Morrison suggested that Shah Alam II would be willing to cede Bengal to George III. The emperor's rough treatment at the hands of the Company, especially the non-payment of tribute, was lambasted as 'a dishonourable blow to the law of nations'. A proper agreement between kings would restore 'the stability and dignity of regal government', and replace 'the fluctuating and unsteady resolve of a Company of private men'.
