1824164820Bombay: Printed at the Courier Press by Shreecrustna Jagonathjee Prabhoo for the Honourable East India Company 1824. Regulating the "Bombay Buccaneers" the gendarmerie of the Gulf First and sole edition of the earliest maritime regulations printed in India detailing the day-to-day governance of the Bombay Marine the East India Company's navy. Rare with only two institutional locations recorded. Founded in 1612 and based successively at Surat and Bombay the Marine became a principal instrument of British expansion from the Red Sea to Southeast Asia supporting major campaigns against the Marathas the Mysore and Burmese states and - most prominently - the Wahabi Qasimi confederation in the Gulf. Its squadron played a decisive role in the 1809 and 1819 operations culminating in the General Treaty of Peace earning high praise from naval commanders and Governor Mountstuart Elphinstone. The Marine was equally important as a surveying body. These regulations illuminate the rigorous expectations placed on officers such as Blair McCluer Ross and Brucks whose coastal surveys from the Gulf to the China Seas underpinned British navigation for decades. The text formalizes command responsibilities shipboard discipline victualling and punishments and mandates systematic hydrographic surveying accompanied by 17 templates for logs and accounts. Issued under Henry Meriton superintendent and commander of the Gulf Squadron they reflect the Marine's transition into a permanently deployed regional force at a pivotal moment in Company rule. Quarto 269 x 210 mm. pp. iv 130. With 17 tables 5 of them folding. Neat 20th-century dark blue half calf spine gilt lettered longitudinally single blind rule to the spine and corners marbled boards. Light staining to the margins of the title page pale browning throughout but very good copy.

121802Ajmere Rajputan-Malwa Railway Press 30th June 1890. . First edition; large 8vo 27 x 18 cm; large folding colour lithograph map to front folding milage table to rear small tear to map hinge; publisher's original printed wrappers frayed and with tears to spine but without any noticeable loss a very good copy; xxx 268 pp.<br /> Rare and unrecorded quarterly information and fare guide for the Bombay Baroda and Central India Railway B.B.C.I. and newly merged Rajputan-Malwa Railway from Bombay to Ferozepore Delhi Agra Kanpur Jodhpur and Khandwa via Ajmer. <br /><br />Printed by the Rajputana-Malwa Railway Press located in the famous Ajmer Workshops which would produce the first Indian steam locomotive just five years later in 1895 an obscure and little known press of which this copy is one of the few surviving publications testifying to its existence. The type faces and formats are enjoyably uneven and speak to the limited font that the press would have been able to utilise. Ajmer did have a mission press around the same time but there seems to be no mention of any change of name or proprietor and the mission press has no history of railway publications.<br /><br />The contents along with copious tables of the various lines and rates contain the extensive rules and regulations of the railways at the time which reveal a wealth of cultural information. Such tidbits include: concession fares for travelling cricket teams parcel charges for Bazaar supplies prices of ice boxes bicycle luggage rates 11 pages of regulations for transporting pets and livestock restrictions on imports of opium and more besides.<br /><br />Ajmer and its workshops stayed as the crux of the lines of the B.B.C.I. due to its situation at junction of changes in gauge. In 1889 the management of the metre gauge RajputanaMalwa Railway earlier known as Rajputana State Railway was taken over by the B.B.C.I. which previously operated only broad gauge lines. The map lithographed in London by W. & A. K. Johnston shows both lines and indicates the changes in gauge accordingly still with the tipped on slip naming the lines not yet open for traffic. This remains as evidence of the relatively short success of the independent railway business in India as the B.B.C.I. would be purchased by the government in 1905 and was fully nationalised in 1942.<br /> Ajmere, Rajputan-Malwa Railway Press, 30th June 1890. unknown

16460On letterhead of the India Office Whitehall. 21 July 1876. 7pp. 12mo. In India Office envelope addressed by Frere to 'The Rt. Revd. The Lord Bishop of Winchester 17 Devonshire Place W.' In good condition on lightly-aged paper. In the event that he is unable to attend the meeting 'as I have an engagt. for 3 o'clock at Marlborough House' he asks the Bishop to 'mention - if you think proper - how entirely I agree with the view taken by Mr. Jacob & that I think £2000 to each Bishopric is the least wh. S.P.G. shd. offer.' In Frere's view 'the meeting will have the power of deciding whether efficient episcopal supervision shall be provided for those two great Provinces the Punjab & Burmah; or whether this shall be indefinitely postponed.' He explains regarding a plan on the matter put forward twenty years before by the Bishop of Exeter: 'The great Mutiny occurred & all action was postponed for 20 yrs.' The letter proceeds with a discussion of 'the kind of Bishop Ld. Salisbury proposes' with Frere dividing his analysis into four lettered sections with the first and shortest reading: 'a the exact kind of Bishop wh. Bishops Cotton & Milman contemplated'. Frere considers 'that what is described as a Missonary. Bishop must be more or less a class Bishop or a caste Bishop'. He concludes in the hope that 'S. P. G. will be true to its own old lines of principle & action & not in hunting after vain shadows lose the substantial advantage of the creation of two manageable sees'.

13442Monmouth. 30 Ocotber 1843. 2pp. 12mo. 29 lines of neatly-written text. In very good condition on lightly-aged paper. Addressing his letter to 'J: S: Buckingham Esqre.' Pollock writes that Buckingham's letter 'enclosing the Rules &c. of the British and Foreign Institute' has been forwarded to him in Monmouth where he is 'engaged on a long Circuit professionally which comprehends all South Wales and the West and South of England'. He is 'on the move continually' without 'time or opportunity to give sufficient consideration to the subject'. He will 'return to Town' in December when he will 'take an early opportunity of making my appearance as a member of the Committee' and will 'confer' with Buckingham: 'I see you have had to answer an attack as some one has taken the trouble to send me a Copy of the "Times" of the 25th. inst. which accompanied a Letter from you . You need not complain as you have evidently a triumph upon all the points started.' According to Buckingham's entry in the Oxford DNB in 1844 he was 'instrumental in the foundation of the British and Foreign Institute in Hanover Square. This literary and social club of which he was appointed resident director drew the ridicule of Punch which persisted in calling it the ‘Literary and Foreign Destitute’. The institute was closed in 1846.' Pollock was appointed Chief Justice of Bombay in 1846 and knighted in the same year. Monmouth. 30 Ocotber 1843. unknown
