‎KAYE Sir John William‎

‎A History of the Sepoy War in India 1857-1858 [with] History of the Indian Mutiny 1857-1858. [With Analytical Index to both works by Frederic Pincott.] KAYE/MALLESON/PINCOTT ON THE MUTINY. A COMPLETE SET WITH DISTINGUISHED AND RELEVANT PROVENANCE‎

‎7 vols., 8vo., Mixed Editions, with folding engraved maps and plans (a number coloured in outline), some light and inoffensive spotting; uniform original red cloth, boards framed in blind, gilt backs, uncut, primrose endpapers, tops lightly dust-soiled, several hinges tender (but all bindings entirely sound), a very good, bright, crisp set. THIS SET WAS FORMERLY IN THE LIBRARY OF MAJOR-GENERAL FREDERICK EDWARD SOTHEBY OF ECTON HALL AND BEARS HIS ENGRAVED ARMORIAL BOOKPLATE ON FRONT PASTE-DOWNS OF ALL VOLUMES. The set comprises Kaye: Vol. I (ninth edition, 1880); Vol. II: (fifth edition, 1888); Vol. III (fourth edition, 1880); Malleson: Vol. I (second edition, 1878); Vol. II (second edition, 1879); Vol. III (first edition, 1888); Pincott (first edition, 1880). Major-General Frederick Edward Sotheby (1837-1909), born in Sewardstone, Essex and only son of Rear Admiral Charles Sotheby, led a distinguished military career. Commissioned in the Rifle Brigade in 1855, he served in the Crimea at the siege and fall of Sebastopol and the storming of the Redan. HE WENT ON TO SERVE THROUGHOUT THE INDIAN MUTINY AND WAS WITH HIS REGIMENT DURING THE CAPTURE OF LUCKNOW AND THE OUDE CAMPAIGN. Later service included the Chinese War (1860) where he was present at the surrender of Pekin, and the Ashanti War (1874) where he fought at Amoaful and Coomassie. Sotheby retirned in 1888 with the rank of Major-General. His family seat at Ecton Hall, Northamptonshire, was renowned for its library, of which the present set doubtless formed a part. 'Malleson's history begins at the close of the second volume of Sir John Kay's history. Malleson defends this action in his preface. Here he states that the third volume of Kaye did not do justice to the actors in the drama of the Mutiny' (Sorsky). Chuadhuri calls Malleson's work 'the most exciting in Mutiny literature'. SCARCE IN ANY EVENT, THIS IS A SPLENDID ASSOCIATION SET WITH DISTINGUISHED AND RELEVANT PROVENANCE. Sorsky, 594.‎

‎Sepoy Mutiny‎

‎Original manuscript diary documenting the service of a British officer during the latter stages of the Sepoy Mutiny‎

‎1858. Contains 96 pages of entries composed in both ink and pencil. 8vo. Bound in original paper wraps. Contains 96 pages of entries composed in both ink and pencil. Wraps worn spine perished else very sound. Contains 96 pages of entries composed in both ink and pencil. 8vo. This diary was kept by Lt. Co. James Burnie an East India Army Officer who served in the Mooltani Horse during the Sepoy Mutiny. It follows his movements throughout the Indian countryside as he and his column track down and face the mutineers. His troops march through Patiala Newlee Kiraoli Furreedpoor Barreilly Nawabganj and Tilsee and Shahjahanpur. His entries contain descriptive observations upon the terrain marches war news and details regarding deadly encounters with Sepoy troops. During the campaign Burnie suffers terribly from dysentry and heat stroke. His column often has to hunt for its food while out in the field and at other times after a victory they are able to raid the overcome town for supplies. During the latter part of the diary he includes a ink and wash drawing of Mount Nanda Devi. A rare first hand account of this rebellion that ended the vice grip of power of the East India Company over India. "The Indian Mutiny also called SEPOY MUTINY 1857-58 was a widespread but unsuccessful rebellion against British rule in India begun by Indian troops sepoys in the service of the British East India Company. It began in Meerut and then spread to Delhi Agra Cawnpore and Lucknow. The mutiny broke out in the Bengal army because it was only in the military sphere that Indians were organized. The pretext for revolt was the introduction of the new Enfield rifle; to load it the sepoys had to bite off the ends of lubricated cartridges. There appears to be some foundation for the sepoys' belief that the grease used to lubricate the cartridges was a mixture of pigs' and cows' lard; thus to have oral contact with it was an insult to both Muslims and Hindus. Late in April 1857 sepoy troopers at Meerut refused the cartridges; as punishment they were given long prison terms fettered and put in jail. This punishment incensed their comrades who rose on May 10 shot their British officers and marched to Delhi where there were no European troops. There the local sepoy garrison joined the Meerut men and by nightfall the aged pensionary Mughal emperor Bahadur Shah II had been nominally restored to power by a tumultuous soldiery. The seizure of Delhi provided a focus and set the pattern for the whole mutiny which then spread throughout northern India. With the exception of the Mughal emperor and his sons and Nana Sahib the adopted son of the deposed Maratha peshwa none of the important Indian princes joined the mutineers. From the time of the mutineers' seizure of Delhi the British operations to suppress the mutiny were divided into three parts. First came the desperate struggles at Delhi Cawnpore and Lucknow during the summer; then the operations around Lucknow in the winter of 1857-58 directed by Sir Colin Campbell; and finally the 'mopping up' campaigns of Sir Hugh Rose in early 1858. Peace was officially declared on July 8 1858. A grim feature of the mutiny was the ferocity that accompanied it. The mutineers commonly shot their British officers on rising and were responsible for massacres at Delhi Cawnpore and elsewhere. The murder of women and children enraged the British but in fact some British officers began to take severe measures before they knew that any such murders had occurred. In the end the reprisals far outweighed the original excesses. Hundreds of sepoys were shot from cannons in a frenzy of British vengeance though some British officers did protest the bloodshed. The immediate result of the mutiny was a general housecleaning of the Indian administration. The East India Company was abolished in favor of the direct rule of India by the British government. In concrete terms this did not mean much but it introduced a more personal note into the government and removed the unimaginative commercialism that had lingered in the Court of Directors. The financial crisis caused by the mutiny led to a reorganization of the Indian administration's finances on a modern basis. The Indian army was also extensively reorganized. Another significant result of the mutiny was the beginning of the policy of consultation with Indians. The Legislative Council of 1853 had contained only Europeans and had behaved arrogantly as if it had been a full-fledged parliament. It was widely felt that lack of communication with Indian opinion had helped to precipitate the crisis. Accordingly the new council of 1861 was given an Indian-nominated element. The educational and public works programs roads railways telegraphs and irrigation continued with little interruption; in fact some were stimulated by the thought of their value for the transport of troops in a crisis. But insensitive British-imposed social measures that affected Hindu society came to an abrupt end. Finally there was the effect of the mutiny on the people of India themselves. Traditional society had made its protest against the incoming alien influences and it had failed; the princes and other natural leaders had either held aloof from the mutiny or had proved for the most part incompetent. From this time all serious hope of a revival of the past or an exclusion of the West diminished. The traditional structure of Indian society began to break down and was eventually superseded by a westernized class system from which emerged a strong middle class with a heightened sense of Indian nationalism."

‎THORNHILL Mark‎

‎Personal Adventures and Experiences of a Magistrate. during the Rise, Progress, and Suppression of the Indian Mutiny. REMARKABLY BRIGHT, CLEAN COPY IN ORIGINAL CLOTH‎

‎8vo., First Edition, with frontispiece, and large folding plan at rear, neat personal name-stamp on title; original green cloth, upper board lettered in gilt and blocked in red, gilt back, uncut, chocolate endpapers, a remarkably well-preserved, bright, clean copy of a scarce work. With a fine nineteenth-century engraved armorial bookplate on front paste-down, and 32pp publisher's catalogue bound in at end. A SCARCE AND IMPORTANT ACCOUNT. Thornhill was the magistrate and collector at Muttra (Mathura) in the Agra division. Malleson made extensive use of the book and states 'of all the books written regarding the Mutiny not one is more interesting'. (Sorsky). It has been suggested that the detailed description of events at Agra, together with the large plan of its fort, may well have influenced Conan Doyle in writing 'The Sign of Four'. VERY SCARCE, ESPECIALLY IN THIS CONDITION. Sorsky 1061.‎
