With 4pp of illustrated industrial advertisements at end. Greatly expanded and updated version of the first edition ['Irrigation Works in India and Egypt'] of 1893. All unsold copies were destroyed by fire at the publishers and it was consequently unavailable by December 1903. The original book also included descriptions of the Irrigation Works of Egypt; these are almost entirely omitted here since Works in India had increased substantially and required greater coverage. A very good, clean copy of the standard reference of the period. VERY SCARCE, ESPECIALLY IN THIS CONDITION.

Seconda edizione, completa, di questa grandiosa opera statistica dell’intero Impero Britannico in India. La prima fu pubblicata in 9 volumi nel 1881. “The publication of "The Imperial Gazetteer of India" marks the completion of the largest national enterprise in statistics which has ever been undertaken. This gigantic work has been carried out under the uninterrupted direction of Dr. Hunter, its original designer, from the initial stage of local inquiry in each of the 240 Districts of India to the final arrangement of the results in an alphabetical form.. The article "India" in volume IV (volume VI in this second ed.) is the touchstone of the work, and proves clearly enough the sterling metal of which it is wrought.. It is, moreover, the only attemps that has ever been made to show how the Indian people have been built up, and the evidence from the original materials have been for the first time sifted and examined by the light of the local researches in which the author was for so long engaged..” (see “The Times”, May 26, 1881). L’opera (che si occupa anche di geografia, storia, economia e governo dell’India) è così composta: “1° Abar to Balasinor - 2° Balasor to Biramganta - 3° Birbhum to Cocanada - 4° Cochin to Ganguria - 5° Ganjam to Indi - 6° India (pp. 747) - 7° Indore to Kardong - 8° Karens to Madnagarh - 9° Madras Presidency to Multai - 10° Multan to Palhalli - 11° Pali to Ratia - 12° Ratlam to Sirmur - 13° Sirohi to Zumkha - 14° Index. Ogni volume contiene una carta geografica a colori, più volte ripieg. “Sir William Wilson Hunter (1840-1900), funzionario e pubblicista, si laureò nell’università di Glasgow e nel 1861 entrò nell’amministrazione dell'India, dove rimase 26 anni. Oltre a occupare varie cariche amministrative, fece importanti pubblicazioni economico-statistiche. Il viceré lord Mayo lo incaricò di un vasto studio statistico di tutta l'India e nel 1871 lo nominò direttore generale della statistica. Il H. quindi ideò il vasto ‘Imperial Gazetteer of India’, in cui si raccolse vasta messe di notizie su ogni provincia dell'impero, e mentre diresse tutto il lavoro, curò direttamente i volumi sul Bengala e l'Assam. In tutto furono pubblicati 128 volumi, che il H. riassunse nel 1881 in 9 volumi (IV ed., volumi 26, Oxford 1931). Lasciata l'India nel 1887, si stabilì presso Oxford e divenne collaboratore del Times”. Così Enciclopedia Treccani,XVIII, p. 605. Tutti i testi della ns. raccolta sono ben conservati.

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.
