1845rif. 66430Madras: Printed and published by Edmund Marsden at the Asylum Press Mount Road 1845. First edition. These local vade mecums annual publications produced using local materials are inevitably uncommon on the market. Although substantial at around 700 pages they have a low survival rate. That they were retained after their supersession is demonstrated by the fact that this copy has the presentation inscription dated in 1849 of the Massachusetts-born missionary and educator of Ceylon Revd Daniel Poor to the title page. Compendious covering the civil military and religious establishments including salaries; the legal administration; professional regulations including those for palankeen bearers; post office regulations and charges; ship arrivals and departures; births deaths marriages and estates probated within the presidency; this is an excellent source of reference for the understanding of the nature of the British administration in India. Octavo 225 x 148 mm. 3 hand-coloured plates of signal flags based upon Marryat's system. Contemporary sheep on marbled boards skilfully rebacked to style with the original label laid down. Slightly rubbed on the boards part of front free endpaper neatly excised typically somewhat browned and consequently brittle in the margins but overall a very good copy sensitively restored. hardcover
