[EAST INDIA COMPANY]. [TIPU SULTAN, Zaman Shah DURRANI, NAPOLEON BONAPARTE and others].
Official documents relative to the negotiations carried on by Tippoo Sultaun with the French Nation and other foreign states for purposes hostile to the British nation; to which is added proceedings of a Jacobin club formed at Seringapatam by the French soldiers in the corps commanded by M. Dompart with a translation . Printed by order of the . Governor General .
Calcutta: Honorable Companys Press 1799. Never bound but side stitched through 3 holes. Super Royal 4to 33.5 x 25 cm. A British propaganda publication printed in Calcutta transcribing secret documents that the British supposedly found in the palace of Seringapatam: primarily Tipu Sultans correspondence with the French considered a betrayal of the British. Tipu Sultan 1750-1799 ruler of the Kingdom of Mysore in southern India took part in a long-standing military feud with the British but made peace with them in 1792. When the French under Napoleon made a push for India in 1798 the British attacked Tipus forces once again starting the Fourth Anglo-Mysore War and eventually killing Tipu Sultan in the attack on Seringapatam. He had a fearsome reputation as the Tiger of Mysore and the present publication attempts to discredit him as a traitor. His supposed affiliation with the French Jacobin Club would have especially concerned British readers. Most of the correspondence between Tipu Sultan the French and their allies including Zaman Shah Durrani ruler of what was to become Afghanistan is printed in parallel columns in English and French. Also included is the text of a letter from Tipu Sultan printed letterpress in Persian in the nastaliq script: 9 lines of type apparently set in the nastaliq type cut under the direction of Charles Wilkins 1749-1836 who served the East India Company in India and became their leading orientalist. It was first used at Calcutta in 1781. The only earlier type for the script that has been clearly documented is thought to have been cut in the 1590s for the Propaganda Fide in Rome who used it around 1633. Neil Benjamin Edmonstone translated the Persian and G.G. Keble the French. Although the book is a true very large quarto point holes along the fold at the head and deckles at the foot and fore-edge the chainlines are vertical though one would not expect sheets this large to be made in double moulds the usual reason for chainlines parallel to the long axis of the sheet.In good condition. Wholly untrimmed and with most bolts unopened and the point holes present.l Shaw Printing in Calcutta 359; Shaw SABREB sab00086; not in Cat. East-India Comp. Honorable Companys Press, unknown

London Printed for T. Cadell Jun. and W. Davies 1798. . First and only edition 8vo 22 x 14.5 cm; armorial bookplate of Sir Archibald Grant of Monymoske to front pastedown dated advertisement half title occasional light spotting; morocco back marbled boards title in gilt to spine corners lightly rubbed; 53 1pp. A very good copy.<br /> The anonymous reply by an officer of the East India Company to Eyle Irwin's d.1817 An Enquiry into the Feasibility of the Supposed Expedition of Buonaparte to the East 1798. In his treatise Irwin born in Calcutta to an officer of the Company had downplayed Napoleon's purported ambition to conquer British possessions in Asia following his defeat in the Battle of the Nile. <br /><br />Without wishing to 'damp the universal joy' which had infected the public mood following Nelson's victory at the Nile earlier in the year the anonymous author of the Reply sounds a more cautionary note urging his readers not to allow their current enthusiasm to become reckless jingoism. Diagnosing the issue as an 'aversion to bestow praise on an enemy' the author predicted that an alliance of French and Russian forces could undertake a joint invasion of India a threat which almost came true but for Napoleon's reluctance to expose his already army tired army to defeat. <br /><br />ESTC records copies at only four locations in the British Isles BL Derry and Raphoe Diocesan Library King's College London and the Royal Irish Academy and a further six in North America Kansas Missouri NYPL Rutgers UTS and Virginia.<br /> ESTC T44625.

[FRENCH INDIA - MANUSCRIPT].
Des castes Indiennes.
Karaikal 1743. Blue mottled stiff paper wrappers. 4to ca. 24 x 18.5 cm. Manuscript written in dark brown ink on beige laid paper. French manuscript written in Karaikal French India since 1739 which gives a detailed explanation of the Indian caste system: the author explains in the beginning of the text that the French people are ill-informed about it. To illustrate the Indian caste system the anonymous author tells lively anecdotes and makes comparisons with French social classes and parallels to biblical stories. The author not only describes the details of the four castes Brahmin Raj Vaisya and Sudra including their hierarchy and advantages the purpose of this social structure and the experience of those who lose their caste. He goes further speculates about the way different cultures criticize each others morals. He argues that all nations criticize each other in some way simply because the habits of cultures differ each with its own good reasons. He also wrote about the extent of superstition in the customs of Indian people for example the beliefs surrounding cows. He concludes that not all their customs are superstitious. The author clearly views Indian cultural practices with a certain gentleness.Somewhat worn at the extremities and spine slightly foxed on the front paste-down and a little dust soiled on the first page.
