Descripci�n

8vo. (2), VIII, 419, (1) pp. With 6 maps (5 folding). Contemporary brown cloth (possibly faded from burgundy), ruled and decorated in blind, with title in gilt on spine. First edition: signed presentation copy of the privately published despatches and letters relating to the Anglo-Persian War and the Indian Rebellion of 1857. Taken together, the publication provides a vital primary source record of both the Rebellion and the events of the Great Game: the military and diplomatic struggle between England and Russia to control as much of Central Asia as possible. These documents were collected and authored by Sir James Outram (1803-63), a British general born to an English father and Scottish mother who spent his entire career fighting for Britain and the East India Company in India and Central Asia. - The first half of the book is dedicated to dispatches, such as reports of British killed and wounded soldiers, and the second to Outram's own correspondence, both formal and informal, between officers and the leadership of the East India Company. - A hint of wear, light foxing; altogether very good. - Inscribed to "Major Anderson" (of whom there were several in the British Indian Armies at the time) and signed "Lieut. General Sir James Outram". From Anderson the book passed to the hands of the famous British journalist and historian of the Great Game, Peter Hopkirk (1930-2014), whose bookplate is present on the front pastedown. - Wilson 164.

We have been dealing in valuable books, manuscripts, and autographs since 1883. As members of the International League of Antiquarian Booksellers (ILAB), the Verband der Antiquare �sterreichs (Austrian association of antiquarian booksellers), as well as the Verband deutscher Antiquare e.V. (German association of antiquarian booksellers), we are bound by these organizations' code of ethics. A large proportion of our customers is made up of institutions, including renowned international universities and major state libraries. We keep contact with our private customers at international book fairs and through our online catalogues. You are welcome to visit us on our business premises from Monday to Friday, 10 AM to 6 PM. We are happy to take buying orders for the important book auctions in Germany and Austria, which we attend regularly. We dedicate special attention to the estates and archives of important personalities of the arts and sciences in European and world history. Through specially prepared archive catalogues we have been able to sell the archives of Viktor L�on (librettist, 1859-1940), Leo Fall (operetta composer, 1873-1925), Lotte Lehmann (singer, 1888-1976), Otto Tressler (actor, 1871-1865) and Max Reinhardt (director, 1873-1743), as well as the last privately owned important original manuscripts by Ludwig Wittgenstein (philosopher, 1889-1951). Along the lines of this specialization our buying policy concentrates especially on these fields.
