Lucae" Big folded Map of Bengal Rare First Edition in Italian of William Bolts most important work on denunciation of the activities of the East India Company in the Indian region of Bengal published for the First Time in 1772 under the title "Considerations on India Affairs" and formed by two volumes. Vol 1 is dedicated to an excursus on history and costumes of Bengal while in the second he attacked the administration of the East India Company in Bengal; and in particular he complained of the arbitrary power exercised by the authorities and of his own deportation. The observations and experiences he records still offer a unique resource for scholars inquiring into the nature of Company rule in Bengal. William Bolts 1738–1808 was a Dutch-born British merchant active in India. He began his career as an employee of the East India Company and subsequently became an independent merchant. He is best known today for his 1772 book Considerations on India Affairs translated in French in 1775 and in Italian in 1780 which detailed the administration of the East India Company in Bengal which began shortly after their victory at Plassey in 1757. Throughout his life Bolts continued to propose and execute various trading ventures on his own behalf and in conjunction with various commercial and governmental partners. The ventures of individual traders like Bolts did much to spur governments and large corporations into the expansion of their own interests. Condition: Very good copy printed on strong paper.

1921Best.-Nr. NL-02287Frontier warfare and colonial cartography: 1921 Survey of India "Confidential" atlas documenting the British campaign in Waziristan. This highly detailed 1921 confidential British-Indian general staff report produced by the Survey of India documents the Waziristan military operations of 19191920 along the volatile frontier of the Northwest Boundary. The publication includes a frontispiece 31 plates seven maps three of which are pocket-folded and eight folding panoramic illustrations that chronicle both the terrain and troop dispositions. The maps provide tactical clarity on routes native strongholds topographic obstacles and British positions. At the same time the accompanying text analyzes operational strategy lessons learned and the emergent use of air power in tribal warfare. Waziristan now in Pakistan had long been viewed by the British as a strategically critical and persistently unstable frontier region inhabited by fiercely autonomous Waziri and Mahsud tribes. The 19191920 campaign followed the Third Anglo-Afghan War during which boundary tensions and local insurrections compelled renewed military intervention. This report presents not just the operational narrative but also the institutional mindset of early 20th-century colonial warfare combining detailed cartography with doctrinal reflection. Cartographers: The Survey of India established in 1767 under Major James Rennell and expanded during British rule served as the paramount cartographic and geodetic agency in India. By 1921 it had become central to mapping the subcontinent for both civil administration and military planning. In this instance the Survey's maps reflect the dual imperative of geographic precision and strategic control making this report an indispensable source for scholars of South Asian military history cartography and colonial frontier dynamics. Condition Description Good. Some wear on cover. Fold lines and some marginal imperfections on maps views and illustrations. Survey of India
