British India â€“ Indian Princes Debate Fiscal Issues In This Lengthy Memorandum

4109GANGA SINGH 1880-1943. Singh was the Maharajah of Bikaner an Indian Princely state. He was a politician of British India and also a highly-decorated military commander. TL. 3pgs. February 24 1922. Lallgarh Bikaner Rajputana. A lengthy typed memorandum concerning the economy of British India. It came from Maharajah Gogna Singh of Bikaner but was not signed by him. Addressed to another prince the letter deals with a number of economic issues faced by the Indian Fiscal Commission. â€œYour Highness In continuation of paragraph 5 of my circular letter No. 16 dated the 6th January 1922 I am forwarding to Your Highness a copy of the Memorandum which has been prepared by the Committee of Ministers appointed to deal with the fiscal question falling within the purview of the Indian Fiscal Commission from the point of view of the Indian States. 2. The consideration of the question as to what action is to be taken with regard to the Memorandum came up for discussion at the Informal Meeting held at Delhi on the 19th February 1922 when it was decided that the Chancellor should be authorised to approach the Government of India on behalf of Their Highnesses with the request that the Chamber of Princes should be consulted before any final action is taken by the Government of India on the report of the Fiscal Commission. It was further the sense of the meeting that it was not desirable that any representation be sent or any witnesses should appear before the Fiscal Commission on behalf of Their Highnesses in their united capacity; but to obviate the Fiscal Commission arriving at conclusions which may be one-sided if none of the States put forward their standpoint it was proposed by His Highness the Maharajah Scindia of Gwalior and agreed to by the Princes present that instead of forwarding the Memorandum on behalf of the Princes jointly it was preferable to ask one or two Ministers of the more senior States to offer themselves as witnesses to be examined by the Fiscal Commission and that those States which agreed in general with the views contained in the memorandum be invited if they so desired and the proposal met with their approval to authorize such witnesses to say that such States were in general agreement with the Ministersâ€™ Memorandum. 3. In accordance with this suggestion Their Highnesses of:-- 1. Gwalior 2. Bikaner 3. Palanput 4. Wankaner and 5. Limbdi. Agreed that Mr. Mannubhai Nandshanker Mehta Chief Minister Baroda and Colonel Kailash Narain Haksar Political Member of Council Gwalior should be authorized on their behalf to express the general approval of the Rulers and Governments concerned to the views embodied in the report of the Ministers. 4. As already made clear it is of course entirely for Your Highness to accept or reject the views contained in the Memorandum or take such other action as Your Highness may consider necessary. The object as stated in para 5 of my circular No. 16 was to offer facilities for the preparation of the case on behalf of your own State should Your Highness desire to represent your case by means of a note or to send a Minister to appear before the Commission. 5. In case Your Highness is in general agreement with the views expressed in the Memorandum and if you deem it advisable I would beg to suggest that Your Highness might also consider the advisability of authorizing Mr. Mannubhai Nandshanker Mehta or Colonel Kailash Narain Haksar by telegram in view of the shortness of time to say that they could inform the Commission that Your Highnessâ€™ Government was in general accord with the views expressed in the Ministersâ€™ Memorandum. This would strengthen their hands in putting forward the claim of the Indian States to exemption from sea customs â€“ a point regarding which the interests of almost all the States are identical and which needs no further comment here. 6. As Mr. Mannubhai Nandshanker Mehta and Colonel Haksar are appearing before the Commission before the 6th March I would request that the telegram conveying Your Highnessâ€™ assent should if possible reach Mr. Mannubhai or Colonel Haksar not later than the 1st of March should Your Highness be in general agreement with the proposal contained in the Memorandum. 7. The questions of salt opium and coinage which â€“ though not directly before the Fiscal Commission â€“ have an important bearing on the fiscal relations between the Indian States and the Government of India have also been dealt with by the Ministers. As they are however not covered by the scope of the questionnaire circulated by the Fiscal Commission it was decided at the Princesâ€™ Informal Meeting held at Delhi on the 19th February to circulate the Note dealing with these subsidiary questions as a supplement to the Ministersâ€™ Memorandum. Yours very sincerely GANGA SINGH Maharajah of Bikaner Chancellor Chamber of Princes.â€ Below the main document there is an autograph note dated March 1 1922 and signed likely by the recipient. â€œMr Mannubhai N. Mehta having been authorized to state that we are in general accord with the views expressed in the Ministersâ€™ memorandum this will be filed along with the accompaniments.â€ Mannubhai Nandshanker Mehta was the Dewan or Prime Minister of the Baroda State. The letter is in very good condition with several tears and holes primarily along the margins. unknown books

Indian Photographs Winter 1925-1926

1926D14301926. Very Good. Grey cloth over boards 9.75Â” x 7.5Â” with Â“PhotographsÂ” blindstamped on upper board; 23 grey heavy cardstock leaves 17 of which feature tipped-on black-and-white photographs 90 images in all most of them 3Â” x 4Â” though some are a bit larger or smaller with handwritten notations. Fine Â– a careful and tidy collection of photographs all neatly tipped-on labeled and dated by hand. Images of Agra the Taj Mahal shrines palaces schools streets tombs Sikri Delhi Tughlagabad Lahore camel caravans Peshawar bazaars Khyber Pass Kashmir Â– to list everything in this far-reaching journey would be a disservice to the reader. Comprised mostly of landscapes and images of the Indian people some elements of the personal do crop up here and there: Our author is featured in only one photograph Â– he sits on horseback with traveling companions also on horseback and this 2Â” x 3Â” image is labeled Â“Self / Lottery Henry / Tommy Alice / The WallabyÂ” ostensibly identifying his friends and their horses; Henry will appear again tiny against a landscape labeled Â“The End Pavillion Chasma Shahi Henry looking for bear.Â” Where it is light on the candid it remains a diligent record Â– every image is identified and all are crisp and clear studiously photographed. A pleasing and unique volume. hardcover books

Leave of Absence in the Straits Settlements

1859320421Calcutta: Thacker Spink & Co. printed by P.M. Craneburgh at the Bengal Military Orphan Press 1859. First edition. iv 244 viii pp. 8vo. Original blue ribbed cloth spine gilt bookplate to front pastedown of Sir Charles P. Hobhouse Bart. Bradford-on-Avon presentation inscription to title page. A fine copy. First edition. iv 244 viii pp. 8vo. Inscribed on the title page: "For Annie with the Author's love." This copy also formerly belonged to Sir Charles Parry Hobhouse 3rd Baronet of Westbury. A crisp copy recording the anonymous author's seven month's of exploring through South East Asia in 1851 and 1853. Departing 8 September 1851 the author who remains anonymous to this day spent four months travelling to Ceylon and Singapore before returning to Calcutta. In 1853 he set off again this time for a three month excursion to the Madras and Bombay Presidencies. There are vivid descriptions of Singapore Penang Malacca Madras Calcutta Bombay Bangalore and Candy as well as coffee plantations and Buddhist temples. The author spends quite some time travelling overland and describes an ascent of Pedro Tallagalla and Kilkamany and camping at Makoortie Peak. Despite the scarcity of this little book it did attract critical attention. A favourable notice appeared in the Calcutta Review which states that the author had "seen and noted down . as much as any one who had preceded or who has since followed him in the same track." The work concludes with an appendix in two parts the first being a table showing the route modes of transport ship rail bandy pony and the amount of time spent at each location. The second is titled "Hints for travellers" which concludes: "Travellers will find it wiser never to have coolies to their palanquins when they can procure bearers; never to go in palanquins when they can with safety from the sun ride; never ride down passes when they can walk and never to be discouraged by indifference or dissuaded by alarms from prosecuting any enterprise." There is nothing in the preface to explain the six year delay between the conclusion of his travel and the publication of the account. Exceedingly rare. No copies on OCLC or COPAC.

Full black morocco spine with gilt rules boards with gilt roll borders ornamental cornerpieces titled in gilt on upper cover yellow endsheets with orange ticket Bound at the Lawrence Asylum Press within border. Some minor rubbing occasional foxing. Fine. Gift inscription on first blank "J. Michael with the kindest regards of J.C.H. July 17th 1875. Illustrated with 12 mounted albumen photographs captioned in ink. Text within braided rule borders. ii 65 pp. 1 vols. 8vo. UNRECORDED. Spectacular unrecorded privately printed hunting diary recounting a hunting expedition in Kerala southern India from 27 July to 22 September 1865 "the best shikar trip I have ever had". The narrator and his companion A.M.D. bagged 43 heads of eleven different types of big game including tiger bear elephant bison chettul and others with original albumen photographs mounted and captioned in a neat hand. The unnamed narrator mentions passing hunting parties one such Brown Jones and Robinson suggests that he read Trollope when the novel appeared as a serial in the Cornhill; the terrain around Hassanoor Ghaut was familiar to him for he had planted fruit trees and roses near a camp building; mention is made also of Hamilton Brooke and Faulkener hunting the area the previous year. This may be Douglas Hamilton who in 1892 published a long retrospective 'Records of Sport in Southern India'. The narrator buys prepared photographic plates from a departing hunter who had ordered them from the Patent dry Collodion Co. of Birmingham. The two hunters were accompanied by the dog Scamp chief among a pack that included Tinker and a plucky three-legged dog Pinko both killed by a panther and bearers of cowardly deportment save for the plucky Rajii who stood by when the narrator faced bear and elephant. At times the grass was too high for a man to get through easily. Notably the hunter describes many photographic incidents including how the frontispiece "The Tiger's Siesta" came to be made. One day D. encountered a a tigress atop the head of a young elephant and shot her despite the commotion. The young elephant ran off. The next day going to photograph the tigress the narrator was charged by a herd of elephants. He shot an elephant cow and they moved on to photograph the elephant "taking the tigress with us. The men who carried her threw her body into the elephants arms and it looked so strange the tigers mouth being curiously drawn up as if she were laughing that I thought I would try a picture in that position.".
