1913Fine Turkish, Ottoman (1500-1928) Original manuscript autograph document stamped by Ottoman accounting manager 'Ahmed Vefik' related to sunken Tokat [Tokad] torpedo boat during Balkan Wars, (1912-1913). Folio. (34x 21 cm). In Ottoman script. 3 p. [MANUSCRIPT] Autograph document stamped by Ottoman accounting manager 'Ahmed Vefik' related to sunken Tokat [Tokad] torpedo boat during in the Battle of Preveza. The Battle of Preveza, in September 1911, was the first naval engagement fought during the Italo-Turkish War. Five Italian Soldato-class destroyers encountered five Ottoman ships off the Greek port of Preveza. Over the course of two days, four of the Turkish vessels present were sunk or captured and the city was bombarded. On September 29, just after the beginning of the war, the Italian fleet in the Ionian Sea began searching for Ottoman warships. At about 4:00 pm, an hour or so after war was declared, five Italian destroyers under Prince Luigi Amedeo, sighted two enemy torpedo boats at sea in between Corfu and Preveza. Outnumbered, the Ottomans opened fire but soon after chose to flee without making any hits. The torpedo boat Tokat steered north chased by three destroyers while Anatolia headed south followed by the remaining two Italian ships. After several moments of firing Tokat ran aground near Nicopolis. She had been hit fifteen times, caught on fire, and was completely destroyed by additional Italian rounds. Nine men were killed, including the ship's captain.

The Irrigation Works of India. Second [and Best] Edition. BRIGHT, CLEAN COPY

1905Folio, Second and Best Edition, with 5 very large folding coloured maps, 5 large folding plans, 40 photographic plates on 20, and164 illustrations (a number full-page) in the text, half-title very lightly spotted, some very light and occasional marginal spotting to text; original black cloth, upper board blocked and lettered in blind, gilt back, very neatly rebacked in cloth to style, small faded patch on upper board else a very good, bright, clean copy. With 4pp of illustrated industrial advertisements at end. Greatly expanded and updated version of the first edition ['Irrigation Works in India and Egypt'] of 1893. All unsold copies were destroyed by fire at the publishers and it was consequently unavailable by December 1903. The original book also included descriptions of the Irrigation Works of Egypt; these are almost entirely omitted here since Works in India had increased substantially and required greater coverage. A very good, clean copy of the standard reference of the period. VERY SCARCE, ESPECIALLY IN THIS CONDITION.

BUHLER G.MareMagnum

Indian Palaeography. [Edited by Debiprasad Chattopadhyaya. Biographical note by F Max-Muller. Introductory Note by J.D. Fleet]. BUHLER IN ENGLISH

19624to., with diagrams in the text; original boards, covers lightly age-marked else a good, clean copy in unclipped dustwrapper, the latter lightly frayed and creased at edges. Buhler's classic study was first published in the German language in 1898; the first English translation (prepared by Fleet) appeared in 1904 as an appendix in 'Indian Antiquary'. There the situation rested for over fifty years until the work was reissued in 'Indian Studies' in 1959, when for the first time the separately printed portfolio of plates and transliteration tables appeared with English captions. This edition was rapidly exhausted and thus the present reissue was produced. This reissue provides a verbatim reproduction of the 1959 edition, together with Max-Muller's Obituary Note on Buhler originally published in the Journal of the Royal Asiatic Society in 1898, and Fleet's Introductory Notes to the text as published in 1904 Sadly the rare separate portfolio is not present with this copy, which is quite sufficiently elusive in its own right.
