1912Best.-Nr. 250141912. Very good condition. Two large silver tone photographs of India's first steel plant.

1938Best.-Nr. 165001938. Jeffrey Mary Pauline. Dr. Ida: India The Life Story of Ida S. Scudder 1938. Signed biography of American physician and medical missionary Ida Sophia Scudder 1870-1960 who established hospitals and medical training programs for women in colonial India. Born in India to American missionary parents Scudder pursued medicine after witnessing the consequences of restrictions preventing Indian women from receiving treatment from male physicians. In 1899 she graduated from Cornell Medical College as a member of its first graduating class to include women returning to India in 1900 to establish a small clinic in Vellore. Within two years she had founded the Mary Taber Schell Memorial Hospital which developed into a major center for women's medical treatment and professional training. Her subsequent establishment of a nursing school in 1909 and the Union Mission Medical School for Women in 1918 expanded opportunities for Indian women to enter the medical profession. Jeffrey Mary Pauline. Dr. Ida: India The Life Story of Ida S. Scudder. New York: Fleming H. Revell Company 1938. Signed and inscribed by the author on the front endpaper. 212 pages with a frontispiece portrait and 18 additional illustrations throughout. Original blue cloth boards measuring 8 x 6 inches. Jeffrey recounts Scudder's upbringing in a missionary family her medical education in the United States and her return to India to establish healthcare facilities for women who faced religious and social restrictions on treatment by male physicians. The biography traces the expansion of her work from a small rural clinic into a hospital and medical training institution documenting her efforts to provide both medical care and professional education for Indian women. Published in 1938 while Scudder remained active in the administration of her medical institutions the biography records the development of women's medical education in British India before independence. Her work at Vellore addressed both the shortage of female physicians and the restrictions that prevented many Indian women from seeking treatment while establishing training opportunities for Indian women in nursing and medicine. The author's inscription distinguishes this copy and the illustrations provide additional contemporary documentation of Scudder's life and medical work. A few pages contain ink corrections or annotations. Very good condition. unknown

Best.-Nr. 123242London Effingham Wilson 1829. . First edition; 8vo 21 x 13.5 cm; modern quarter red morocco gilt rolled red cloth boards spine lettered in gilt all edges speckled red a fine copy; 74 pp. A defence of the East-India Company's monopoly with China focussing on the tea trade and its comparative differences with that of the opining of Indian textile trade in 1813. Much of the argument for the ending of the China trade monopoly was centred around the cost of tea: the Macartney embassy in 1793 had made plain that the Qing dynasty were not interested in the import of western goods. With the monopoly on tea prices the cost paid by the British person was felt to be astronomical. This pamphlet defends the Company's prices with an investigation into the types of tea available and proclaims that the Company's tea is hand-selected specially chosen and of an exceedingly high calibre than one would get with the absence of the Company's oversight. London, Effingham Wilson, 1829. hardcover
