A war injury led to the author being restricted to service on the home front. In 1943 he went to Ukraine to raise India rubber plants to supply Germany's wartime need for tires. When Germany lost Ukraine in 1943, he was transferred to the department of plant cultivation at the Kaiser Wilhelm Institut, which had a branch at Auschwitz. It was only on his way there that he learned it was a concentration camp. Originally written in 1973, this appears to be a reprint circa 1985. Average wear. Some pencil markings. SINGERMAN 1317. Book

1 vol. in-8 reliure de l'époque demi-basane rouge, Emile Bouillon, Paris, 1890, XVII-836 pp. Rare exemplaire de l'édition originale. Formé par le cours de Bréal aux études de grammaire comparée, Abel Bergaigne (1838-1888) poursuivit les travaux de son maître Hauvette-Besnault. Elu à l'Institut en 1885, il devient titulaire de la chaire de sanscrit et de grammaire comparée créée à la Sorbonne la même année. De son "Manuel pour étudier la langue sanscrite" publié en 1884, Adolphe Regnier écrivait : "On y reconnaît le maître instruit et zélé, son livre vaut ses leçons". Rédigé en "collaboration posthume" avec son disciple Henry, le présent ouvrage "était, dans sa pensée, le complément indispensable de son Manuel du sanscrit classique : non que tous les sanscritistes fussent destinés, selon lui, à aborder de front le Véda ; ils n'y encourageait guère ses élèves , et parfois même les en détournait ; mais il jugeait néanmoins utile qu'aucun d'eux ne demeurât entièrement étranger à la connaissance de la langue et de la littérature védiques, et voulait en même temps procurer une initiation aisée à ceux qui seraient tentés de les approfondir". Bon état (qq. rares annotations au crayon). Français

Very Good English Original typed paper by Mukerjee with some autograph corrections in text andsignature. 4to. (30 x 24 cm). In English. [21] p. Type paper with autograph corrections and signature. Signed 'Radhakamal Mukerjee'. Paper for the International Congress of Sociology, Istanbul Session. Watermarked 'Glorious Bond' paper made in Sweden. Mukerjee, a leading thinker and social scientist of modern India, was Professor of Economics and Sociology and Vice-Chancellor of the University of Lucknow. Mukerjee played an important and constructive role in the Indian independence movement. He was a highly original philosopher of history and a discerning interpreter of culture and civilization and a 1962 recipient of the third highest Indian civilian honour of the Padma Bhushan. Mukerjee was the son of a barrister in Baharampur, West Bengal, a city located some 185 km north of Kolkata. He grew up in a household with a scholarly focus and a library devoted to history, literature, the law and Sanskrit texts. After attending Krishnanagar College, he gained an academic scholarship to Presidency College, under the University of Calcutta. He earned his honours degrees in English and History. Mukerjee opened the discourse of the Ashtavakra Gita into English with his posthumous work published in 1971. Mukherjees theory of society sought to explain the values of civilization. In sense, Radhakamal was a pioneer of transdisciplinary approach in science. Radhakamal Mukerjee emphasized interdisciplinary disciplinary approach towards the understanding of life. Mukerjee sought to break the barriers between physical sciences and sciences relating to persons aspects. He was a pioneer of Sociology in the 1900s. (Wikipedia).

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'. Kress, S2527; Goldsmith, 11155; Higgs, 5981.
