Liseâ€. “Revelry in India by Capt Dobney Royal Bengal Fusileers sic We meet neath the sounding rafter And the walls around us are bare As they shout to Our Peals of Laughter It seems that the dead are there But stand to your glasses steady We drink to our comrades Eyes Quaff a cup to the Dead Already And Hurrah for the next that dies…Cut off from the land that bore us Betrayed by the land We find Where the brightest have gone before us And the dullest remain behind Stand Stand to your glasses steady It is all We have left to prize A cup to the dead already And Hurah for the next that dies.†The last page also contains the ending of a letter. Lise signed the end of the letter and also signed and dated the bottom of the last page upside down. This poem was much published in under a variety of titles and authors but it was most likely written by British-Indian civil servant William Francis Thompson 1808-1842. It appeared in Bengal Annual an East India Company publication in 1835. The manuscript is in very good condition with deep folds and discoloration. unknown books

We have traced only ten copies on WorldCat four of which are in the UK: University of Birmingham Edinburgh University Manchester University and Oxford University. Attock has been inhabited since the classical period and was the location where Alexander the Great crossed the Indus. In the early 19th century it was occupied by the Sikh Kingdom under Ranjit Singh but was taken by the British East India Company in the Second Sikh War in 1849. It was then renamed as Campbellpore District after Sir Colin Campbell Commander-in-Chief of India. The district was annexed by the British government in 1858 and constituted as a distinct administrative body on 1 April 1904. This work contains comprehensive information on the district from its physical geography and history to its agriculture rent prices wages administrative divisions policing and education. It pays particular attention to the local tribes and their history while providing precise data on population patterns land ownership statistics and trade. The maps show the borders of the district's local communities. Octavo. With 4 heliozincographed folding maps printed in black and orange tables in text.

Illustrated with 12 mounted albumen photographs captioned in ink. Text within braided rule borders. ii 65 pp. 1 vols. 8vo. UNRECORDED. Spectacular unrecorded privately printed hunting diary recounting a hunting expedition in Kerala southern India from 27 July to 22 September 1865 "the best shikar trip I have ever had". The narrator and his companion A.M.D. bagged 43 heads of eleven different types of big game including tiger bear elephant bison chettul and others with original albumen photographs mounted and captioned in a neat hand. <br/>The unnamed narrator mentions passing hunting parties one such Brown Jones and Robinson suggests that he read Trollope when the novel appeared as a serial in the Cornhill; the terrain around Hassanoor Ghaut was familiar to him for he had planted fruit trees and roses near a camp building; mention is made also of Hamilton Brooke and Faulkener hunting the area the previous year. This may be Douglas Hamilton who in 1892 published a long retrospective 'Records of Sport in Southern India'.<br/>The narrator buys prepared photographic plates from a departing hunter who had ordered them from the Patent dry Collodion Co. of Birmingham. The two hunters were accompanied by the dog Scamp chief among a pack that included Tinker and a plucky three-legged dog Pinko both killed by a panther and bearers of cowardly deportment save for the plucky Rajii who stood by when the narrator faced bear and elephant. At times the grass was too high for a man to get through easily.<br/>Notably the hunter describes many photographic incidents including how the frontispiece "The Tiger's Siesta" came to be made. One day D. encountered a a tigress atop the head of a young elephant and shot her despite the commotion. The young elephant ran off. The next day going to photograph the tigress the narrator was charged by a herd of elephants. He shot an elephant cow and they moved on to photograph the elephant "taking the tigress with us. The men who carried her threw her body into the elephants arms and it looked so strange the tigers mouth being curiously drawn up as if she were laughing that I thought I would try a picture in that position.".
