1861rif. 30491033 Norland Square Notting Hill 1861. 4pp. 12mo. Old folds. 4pp. 12mo. Born in Bombay in 1799 Duncan was the illegitimate son of the Governor of Bombay. Duncan's father's wealth enabled him to pursue a literary life and he published regularly from 1825-57. He summarises the work thus: "The object of this book is to enable those who have never studied India to acquire a knowledge of its institutions with the best possible expenditure of time." A book on India would be seemingly inevitable for a writer with his background yet the work described here was seemingly never published. unknown

An attractive presentation of the scarce first ten publications of this famed archaeological series from the puppet state of Nizam in India.Originally a vassal state of the Mughal government. the state of Hyderabad fell on hard times in the eighteenth century. The Mughal emperor granted the princely state of Hyderabad to Nizam-ul-Mulk the first of a series of Asaf Jahs. A largely autonomous state the Nizams ruled Hyderabad from 1724 to 1947. Late in the eighteenth century the Nizams allied themselves to the British. There were left alone by the British providing they allow the Raj to dictate their foreign policy and provided the Nizams provided soldiers for actions the British took in India. The Nizam’s kingdom was remarkable for its religious tolerance and it secular-orientated rule in general. While the ruling dynasty was Muslim the majority of the population was Hindu. The state adopted a secular administration thereby discouraging religious tensions. Indeed the Nizams built and maintained both Hindu and Muslim temples and facilities. The Kingdom was around the size of France and it was enormously wealthy. Mir Osman Ali Khan the last ruling Nizam of Hyderabad was arguably the richest man on earth in the early 20th century. It all came to an end in 1947 when the newly formed Indian government sent its military to squash the independent state. The state ruled by the Nizam previously called "Hyderabad State" is now primarily part of the Indian state of Telangana. All ten publications are complete and the titles are as follows;1 The New Asokan Edict of Maski. 1915. 2 The Daulatabad Plates of Jagadekamalla A.D. 1017. 19173 Inscriptions at Palampet and Uparpalli. 19194 Pakhal Inscription of the Reign of the Kakatiya Ganapatideva. 19195 Munirabad Stone Inscription of the 13th year of Tribhuvanamala Vikramaditya VI. 1922.6 The Kotagiri Plates of the Reign of the Kakatiya Queen Rudramamba A.D. 1275. 19257 Bodhan Stone Inscription of the Reign of Trailokyamalla Somesvara A.D. 1056. 19258 The Inscriptions of Nagai. 1928.9 Shitab Khan of Warangal by Dr. Hirananda Sastri. 1932.10 The Gavimath and Palkigundu Inscriptions of Asoka. Edited by R. L. Turner. 1932.OCLC records two complete files but no individual titles dating this early. No copies ever at auction. The Nizam spared no expense on this publication using high quality paper and enabling fine photographic illustrations. The first nine numbers were printed at the Baptist Mission Press in Calcutta and the last issue at the Oxford University Press.

By the later nineteenth century American mission networks in India supported schools medical work printing itinerant preaching and fundraising efforts at home of which photographic cards like this were one small part. A strong nineteenth-century missionary CDV especially for its printed verso documenting the reproduction pricing and circulation of South Asian photographs through American foreign mission networks this being the first example we have encountered with a South Asian subject. unknown
