Condición: New. 2004 N&M Press reprint (original pub 1905). SB. 64pp with numerous photos. Published Price £9.50 A rare history of a little-known unit of the British Indian Army. First raised at the Bengali garrison town of Dum-Dum in 1800 as an experimental Brigade of Horse Artillery, the unit went through several name changes in the course of the succeeding century. As the 1st Troop in the 1st Brigade of the Bengal Horse Artillery, it took part in the Afghan wars and the disastrous retreat from Kabul in 1842 when there was only one survivor. The gun which was lost in that debacle was miraculously recovered in 1880. The unit also saw service in the Indian M utiny, taking part in the siege and storming of delhi and the relief of Lucknow. This is a concise and,matter-of-fact unit history that should be in the collection of all interested in the history of British rule in India or the development of artillery in the 19th century.

Hardcover. Original cloth. Condición: Very Good (Used copy). HISTORY South Africa -The Reminiscences of Thomas Stubbs, including Men I have known is a historical autobiography and personal narrative written by Thomas Stubbs (1808â"1877), a prominent British 1820 Settler in South Africa. [1, 2]Edited by W.A. Maxwell and R.T. McGeogh, the manuscript was published posthumously in 1978 by A.A. Balkema for Rhodes University as part of the Graham's Town Series. It serves as a vital first-hand account of early 19th-century colonial expansion, fluid border politics, and conflict in the Eastern Cape. [1, 2, 3]Core Themes & Historical Content The 1820 Settler Experience: The book begins with Stubbs' childhood memory of embarking from London on the settler ship Northampton. It details his early pioneering years as a saddler's apprentice and his varied, often difficult, career as a businessman and mail contractor in Grahamstown (including a bankruptcy declaration in 1858). Frontier Warfare & Leadership: Stubbs achieved historical prominence as a military and civic leader during the Seventh and Eighth Frontier Wars (also known as the Xhosa Wars or Albany Wars of 1846 and 1850). He founded Stubbs' Sporting Club, which evolved into the Albany Rangers (Mounted Rangers). As their Field Commander from 1850 to 1853, he led civilian volunteers defending the rural settlements around Grahamstown. Life in the Fish River Bush: The narrative offers deep insight into early encounters, trade, and tension with the Xhosa people. His father, John Stubbs, engaged in trading beads and buttons for Xhosa ivory and cattle before being killed, forcing Thomas to learn the "secrets of life in the Fish River bush" at a young age.Historians consider Stubbs an engaging storyteller, though his writing is episodic and functions partly as an apologia pro vita sua (a defense of his own life and choices). Late in life, he spent 14 years petitioning the colonial government for financial compensation for health damages suffered during his military service. [1, 2]While providing a gritty, unvarnished look at frontier lifeâ"including drunken pranks on guard duty and clashes with British military elitesâ"the text also reflects the casual brutalities of the era. Modern reviews note that Stubbs glosses over or omits darker actions committed by his contemporaries, such as his brother-in-law's involvement in the mutilation of Xhosa King Hintsa. xvi, 302 p. : ill., fold. map ; 24 cm. #270926 (No dustjacket) Stubbs, Thomas, 1808-1877 South Africa -- Biography Elizabeth's Bookshops have been one of Australia's premier independent book dealers since 1973.

Hardcover. Condición: As New. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Very Good. 1st Edition. Hardcover Book Condition: As New Dustcover Condition: Very Good George Stubbs was one of Britain's most innovative artists. Such is the present reputation of his paintings, with their astonishingly convincing renderings of both animals and people, that it is easy to forget how much of his success was based on rigorous scientific observation. In 1756, Stubbs rented a remote farmhouse, where he erected a scaffolding to hold the cadavers of horses as he dissected and drew them. After 18 months of single-minded dedication, Stubbs produced the drawings for The Anatomy of the Horse, which he later etched himself. The result was a sensation. Letters of congratulation poured in from scientists all over Europe, amazed not only at the perfection of the finished work, but that it had been produced without patronage. It remained a textbook for artists and scientists for well over a century, and to this day, the strange, spare beauty of these prints continue to fascinate. This is an outstanding book with superb art work. Would make an perfect gift for an animal art lover.…
