Marina Carter & Crispin Bates Eds
Mutiny at the Margins: New Perspectives on the Indian Uprising of 1857 Global Perspectives Volume 3
Sage Publications. Hardcover. New. The Mutiny at the Margins series takes a fresh look at the Revolt of 1857 from a variety of original and unusual perspectives focusing in particular on neglected socially marginal groups and geographic areas which have hitherto tended to be unrepresented in studies of this cataclysmic event in British imperial and Indian historiography. Global Perspectives Volume 3 widens the geographical remit of the series and examines the global dissemination and portrayal of the events of the uprising in the international press and literature. It also examines the socio-economic aftermath of the events of 1857 and the experiences of displaced mutineers in the broader colonial world. Printed Pages: 252. Sage Publications hardcover

Uma Marina Vesci
Heat and Sacrifice in the Vedas
Motilal Banarsidass Publishers Pvt. Ltd. 1992. First edition. Hardcover. New. In all Religions of the World which maintain sacrificial rituals and in which the portion offered to Gods is given to fire that portion is normally offered raw except in Vedic India where its previous Cooking is necessary. The reasons for such a treatment forms the subject matter of this book. The author through an exhaustive examination of Vedic Brahmanic and Srauta Sutric texts traces the Beginning and development of the idea of cooking as transforming energy from early Vedic hymns to the Classical and fully complete sacrifices of the later Brahmanic times. The work is divided into two major parts: The first comprising four chapters follows the emergence and development of the first intuition the Rishis had of their use of Fire as God of energy; the second part consisting of the remaining four chapters takes into Account four emblematic rituals where Heat is especially prominent discussing how the presence of heat has worked in shaping those rituals and the spirituality that has arisen from them. An introduction has cast the problem in its human temporal and geographical conditions while a Conclusion has brought the entire matter to its heavenly accomplishment. Printed Pages: 357.

Giuseppe Tucci Author Uma Marina tr. & Lokesh Chandra preface
Indo-Tibetica Vol. IV - Gyantse and its Monasteries 3 Parts
Aditya Prakashan New Delhi 1989. Hardcover. New. 19 x 25 cm. Part.1: General description of the temples. ;Part.2: Inscriptions.;Part.3: Plates. This volume is a major breakthrough for the History of the Sa-skya period of Tibet the Art treasures of the Gyantse region and the evolution of a distinctive Tibetan Style from the multiple strands of Indian iconographic elements Chinese tendencies in larger compositions and the Khotanese manner in statuary. So far it had been held that Buddhism went to Tibet through Nepal and Kashmir but this volume points out for the first time how it also traversed the Sikkim-Gyantse way. It details the historical monasteries on the road to and in the City of Gyantse which are of unique value for the development of the Tibetan visual arts. The small Temple of Bsam-grub Iha-khan near Phari has frescoes of the XV century and a statue of Avalokitesvara and two book covers of possible Indian origin. This book treats of the extraordinary flourishing of art due to the enlightened patronage of the Sa-skya-pas during the long tenure of their power. The princes of Zhalu and Gyantse followed their example. Chinese influences came to be felt during the Hegemony of the Sa-skyas who maintained Cultural and Political Relations with China for two centuries. The volume reviews the disappearance of Ancient historical records because of the suppression of all rivals by the emerging Gelukpa sect. The Myan-chun Chronicles and the Eulogy of Nenying monastery which have escaped are unique sources for the history of the Artistic Heritage of the region. Along with them historical geography the chronologies of the Sa-skya abbots and of the princes of Zhalu and of Gyantse and their Relations with the Mongol Court are discussed. The Monastery of Kyangphu at Samada was founded in the XI century but was restored in the XIV under the Sa-skyas. It has statues and stupas of Indian origin. Its surviving murals betray Central Asian style. Several Mandalas of Vairocana from different tantras are dealt with. The Gyani monastery in the Salu village has capitals of the XIV century. The monastery at Iwang was constructed before the arrival of Sakyasri the Great Pandit of Kashmir in the XIII century. An inscription on its mural says that it was painted in Indian style. Another inscription points out that Amitayus was done in the Khotanese way. The ancient monasteries of Shonang and Nenying have been restored and repainted though at Nenying splendid fragments of the best epoch of Indo-Nepalese art survive. The superb monastery of Gyantse is described in all Scientific details for the first time in this book. The most outstanding monument of the region is the Kumbum of Gyantse also known as Dpal-hkhor chos-sde important both for its Architecture and for its paintings. It is a gigantic complex of several mandalas a veritable summa of Tantric revelations. The inscriptions name its painters and sculptors: unique in the history of Tibetan art. They give summary descriptions of the frescoes which serve as remarkable iconographic guides. The paintings can be dated to a well-determined period namely the XV century when an independent Idiom of Tibetan art developed. Part I details the Iconography of the Kumbum which is an architectonic Mandala where progressive ascending from one floor to the other corresponds to an ascension from a lesser order of tantras to ever Higher ones. The 73 major Temples and minor chapels on its four floors and dome are described at length. An astounding number of 27529 deities are represented in the Kumbum. This book is a mine of information and perceptions of the great master Giuseppe Tucci and invites further researches on the vast tantric iconography and its symbolism detailed herein. Part II gives the text and translation of the inscriptions in the temples and chapels of the various monasteries. Part III is devoted to the mural Printed Pages: 0.

JOHN RING ROYAL MARINE
1914 - 1918 WW1 ORIGINAL HANDWRITTEN JOURNAL OF A ROYAL MARINE STATIONED AND PATROLLING IN THE MIDDLE EAST AND EAST INDIES CONTAINING BOTH DETAILED AND FASCINATING DIARY ENTRIES OF AND COMPREHENSIVE LISTS OF NAVAL FACTS AND FIGURES
HMS FOX HMS PROSERPINE RED SEA INDIA EAST INDIES. Good. 1914. On offer is a detailed and eclectic book made by John Ring a Royal Marine Number 1520 during World War 1 on the H.M.S. Fox and H.M.S. Proserpine. The book contains journal entries of Ring�s time on the H.M.S. Fox in active duty and experiencing naval warfare. His entries are presented in a fairly matter-of-fact way with few sentence breaks. For example: �H.M.S. Fox 9th June 1915. Join H.M.S. Fox at Ismailia on the 9th and stayed at at Ismailia from June 9th until the 1st of August and went from thier to the Great Bitter Lake and remained their until August 20th and then sailed for Suez and arrived in Suez on Aug 22nd and stayed their until Aug 31st and then left Suez for the Great Bitter Lake and remained their for a week and while we were their we captured two Turkish mines and kept them on board our ship for a night or two and about two mornings afterwards Sept 4 we towed them 4 Hundread miles from the Ship and about one hour after The Signal was made from our ship to press the Button and about two days later we found another Turkish mines and also did the same to that.� For the rest of 1915 Ring is one the Fox as it patrols the area Suez Canal area from the canal to Port Said. From the Fox Ring moves to the H.M.S. Proserpine. On the Proserpine Ring does much of the same as he did on the Fox patrolling the Suez Canal rescuing ships that have run aground and occasionally coming into combat: �The natives fired back to us and in their firing about the fourth round it was reported that the gunner was blown over and killed and another man had his arm blown off.� The ship stays on the Shatt-al-Arab River for 4 months than leaves for India first docking at Bombay and then moving on to Colombo. �While we were at Colombo we went to the Royal Naval Camp at Diyatalawa Ceylon and their are some interesting places to go at Ceylon about 200 years from the camp were were at was the Camp while the Boer War was on they sent the prisoners to Ceylon and another place was Little England.� After this last diary entry the book takes on a less narrative identity. The rest of the journal consists of page after page of incredibly interesting and comprehensive lists of things concerning military casualties and other matters. The lists contain headings such as �Norwegian Ships Sunk� �Enemy�s Lost Airships� �British Steamers Torpedoed and Sunk� �British Ships Sunk by German Raiders� �Soldiers Deaths in Quelling Rebellion� concerning the 1916 Irish Rebellion commonly referred to as �Easter Rising� �These are Marine Officers lost in the Battle� he does not write it but he is referring to the Battle of Heligoland Bight the first naval battle of WW1 �H.M.S. Ships Lost and Sunk in the Great War� and many other lists of naval ships lost in the war usually containing the name of the ship the size in tonnage the date commissioned and/or destroyed and occasionally the crew size type of guns used and/or the name of the Captain. There are long lists of ships sunk from almost all the Allied Power countries. There are also news stories about the hanging of Sir Roger Casement the sinking of the Dreadnought Leonardo Da Vinci the H.M.S. King George VII and other stories related to the war copied down probably word for word from a newspaper. Though Ring was born in Essex the stories of Sir Roger Casement and the entry about the deaths in the Irish rebellion make it seem that Ring might have had some Irish sympathies or was possibly just interested in the Rebellion as a military matter. There are also about two dozen loose pieces of ephemera include with the book dealing with John Ring�s entire life and career the earliest dated 1896 and the latest 1955. Included are: A Naval Marriage Certificate of John Ring to Margaret Carr from 1920 on board the H.M.S. Hercules; 2 certificates of service detailing Ring�s entire military career from 1905-1932 with the earlier certificate showing a complete list of the ship�s Ring served on from 1905 to 1924 both certificates contain much personal information including Date and Location of Birth Religion Next of Kin and physical characteristics; many newspaper clippings concerning WW1 and WW2 with quite a few political cartoons as well. The book is in very good condition without any noticeable signs of wear and tear. For an unknown reason the cover reads �O.R. Wace H.M.S. Swiftsure East Indies.� Ring�s service record has no record of him stationed on the Swiftsure. The handwriting is clean and easy to read. It is 84 pages in length.; Manuscript; Folio - over 12" - 15" tall; KEYWORDS: HISTORY OF JOHN RING ROYAL MARINE MARINE NUMBER 1520 H.M.S FOX H.M.S.

GEORGE JAMES TOMLIN CAPTAIN ROYAL NAVY
1882 ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPT EYEWITNESS ACCOUNT BY NAVAL CAPTAIN OF THE BOMBARDMENT OF ALEXANDRIA AND THE DESTRUCTION OF THE PORT
ABOARD THE HMS ALEXANDRA EGYPT. Very Good. 1882. On offer is the original manuscript eyewitness account of the Bombardment of Alexandria Egypt between July 11th - 13th 1882 handwritten by participant Captain George James Tomlin Royal Navy 1837 - 1906. This is a superb primary source account by a Royal Navy Officer and a participant in the bombardment augmented by photographic material and as such rare and unique. Captain George J. Tomlin the second generation in a line of four men who all became Royal Navy Officers. He was on board HMS Alexandra during the British assault on Alexandria and provides a detailed first-hand account of the battle. He notes: 'the Alexandra was struck about 30 times to the hull. she had 1 man killed and 30 wounded'. The narrative describes the battle and both collectors and historians will be impressed by the details provided in the written manuscript. Tomlin lists the participating ships their guns losses method of attack etc. and also comments on political figures such as Admiral Seymour Prime Minister Gladstone and Colonel Urabi; 'during the bombardment 700 out of 1200 Egyptians were killed outright.' The Bombardment of Alexandria 1882 by the British Mediterranean Fleet took place on 11-13 July 1882. Admiral Sir Frederick Beauchamp Seymour was in command of a fleet of about 15 Royal Navy ironclad ships which sailed to Alexandria when a riot broke out and Europeans were killed. The Royal Navy arrived in the port city to protect the lives and property of British subjects. When the forces of Colonel Urabi began augmenting their port fortifications the Admiral issued an ultimatum to stop and when the Egyptians didn't stop fortifying their positions the fleet attacked. The one-day bombardment of the city was successful in defeating all of the Egyptian forts with no loss of British ships but the next day a fire broke out and the areas of Alexandria in which Europeans made their homes were predominant burned down. This important historic archive is befittingly contained in a stunning contemporary specifically made premium folio sized folder made of marbleized papers leather spine and gilt title treatment to protect the sixteen 16 leaves of the twenty 20 page narrative together with one large photograph of Dutch House in Port Said with HMS Invincible and HMS Alexandra at anchor one photograph of the Officers and Ladies of HMS Alexandra as well as one photograph of a formation of British Army soldiers as well as four 4 further photographs of various Europeans in Egypt.

UNIDENTIFIED MARINE FROM TENNESSEE
c1947 PHOTOGRAPHIC AND TYPESCRIPT JOURNAL OF A MARINE FROM TENNESSEE - SUPER RELIC OF WWII BY A CHARMING NEAR POETIC SURVIVOR OF GUADALCANAL
TENNESSEE NEW CALEDONIA GUADALCANAL SOUTH PACIFIC. Very Good. 1947. On offer is a sensational relic of World War II being a photographic diary with accompanying typescript journal commentary by an unidentified soldier from Tennessee. The Marine did a brilliant job putting together a handmade diary illustrated with two groups of photographs the kind you might have gotten in the PX during the War. Our sense is that the author has either returned to the area or hasn't yet left the arena of the War but soon after the War our author begins this charming retelling of experiences both good and terrible in the South Pacific. He uses twenty-five photographs and then details and stories relating to the people he was with or the scenes depicted in the photos. It is heartbreaking and heartwarming all at the same time. The soldier does not tell us his name but he makes references to being from Tennessee. He writes of taking a ship to New Caledonia and of people he worked with and situations he encountered. A great deal of his time was spent in Guadalcanal. In one moving passage he tells the story of his friend and mentor Howard H. Gabby Gould III; a soldier during World War I who reenlisted after Pearl Harbor. He became a drill sergeant and then made his way to New Caledonia. There he learned that he was considered unfit for overseas duty. Heartbreakingly Gabby dies of a broken heart 2 weeks after being shipped stateside. This is one of the most unique WWII relics we have come across.
