The anonymous author of this work attempts to refute the "slanderous imputations" of the work Justification of the Directors of the Netherlands East-India Company reprinted here in full with a separate title following page 223. He proclaims that it is "such a tedious rhapsody of fictitious fallacious inferences and arguments confusedly mixt with some distorted truths spun out. that it would be tiresome to the reader to trace all the prevarication's mis-recitals and sophistry contained in it. I shall proceed to detect his willful mistakes by which he endeavours to honest many injurious and insolent violations of right done by the Dutch towards the English in India directly contrary to the Articles of Peace."

Seconda edizione, completa, di questa grandiosa opera statistica dell’intero Impero Britannico in India. La prima fu pubblicata in 9 volumi nel 1881. “The publication of "The Imperial Gazetteer of India" marks the completion of the largest national enterprise in statistics which has ever been undertaken. This gigantic work has been carried out under the uninterrupted direction of Dr. Hunter, its original designer, from the initial stage of local inquiry in each of the 240 Districts of India to the final arrangement of the results in an alphabetical form.. The article "India" in volume IV (volume VI in this second ed.) is the touchstone of the work, and proves clearly enough the sterling metal of which it is wrought.. It is, moreover, the only attemps that has ever been made to show how the Indian people have been built up, and the evidence from the original materials have been for the first time sifted and examined by the light of the local researches in which the author was for so long engaged..” (see “The Times”, May 26, 1881). L’opera (che si occupa anche di geografia, storia, economia e governo dell’India) è così composta: “1° Abar to Balasinor - 2° Balasor to Biramganta - 3° Birbhum to Cocanada - 4° Cochin to Ganguria - 5° Ganjam to Indi - 6° India (pp. 747) - 7° Indore to Kardong - 8° Karens to Madnagarh - 9° Madras Presidency to Multai - 10° Multan to Palhalli - 11° Pali to Ratia - 12° Ratlam to Sirmur - 13° Sirohi to Zumkha - 14° Index. Ogni volume contiene una carta geografica a colori, più volte ripieg. “Sir William Wilson Hunter (1840-1900), funzionario e pubblicista, si laureò nell’università di Glasgow e nel 1861 entrò nell’amministrazione dell'India, dove rimase 26 anni. Oltre a occupare varie cariche amministrative, fece importanti pubblicazioni economico-statistiche. Il viceré lord Mayo lo incaricò di un vasto studio statistico di tutta l'India e nel 1871 lo nominò direttore generale della statistica. Il H. quindi ideò il vasto ‘Imperial Gazetteer of India’, in cui si raccolse vasta messe di notizie su ogni provincia dell'impero, e mentre diresse tutto il lavoro, curò direttamente i volumi sul Bengala e l'Assam. In tutto furono pubblicati 128 volumi, che il H. riassunse nel 1881 in 9 volumi (IV ed., volumi 26, Oxford 1931). Lasciata l'India nel 1887, si stabilì presso Oxford e divenne collaboratore del Times”. Così Enciclopedia Treccani,XVIII, p. 605. Tutti i testi della ns. raccolta sono ben conservati.

1964réf. BIBLIO-01781G. K. Hall & Co Boston 1964 reprint. 10 vols cloth folio 358 x 260 mm. pp. About 90000 entries. A massive catalogue of the printed books in European languages in the India Office Library including many rarities and very comprehensive coverage of material on the British Raj. The European Printed Books collection was originally part of the library set up by the Honourable East India Company in 1801 to safeguard books entrusted to it by its servants and others. The Company's Directors soon began to collect actively rather than just receiving material and from the outset made their stock available to orientalist scholars as well as maintaining and augmenting it as an official reference resource. After the demise of the Company in 1858 its responsibilities were taken over by the newly-established India Office and coverage started to concentrate on material relating to the Indian sub-continent and its affairs together with those of Burma. The European Printed Books collection holds a considerable amount of extremely rare Indian and UK material and is the primary repository for material on the history of British India. Contents : Vols 1-2: Sheaf catalogue A-Z. Vols 3 - 6: Author catalogue A-Z. Vols 7 - 9 : Subject catalogue A-Z. Vol 10: Catalogue of periodicals. Accessions until 1936 were included in an Author catalogue in sheaf form in which entries from twenty-two volumes of uncumulated printed catalogues and printed supplementary accessions lists were pasted in a single alphabetical sequence. In 1936 the cataloguing system was reorganised; all subsequent accessions were entered in two card catalogues one Author the other Subject. The present work accordingly reproduces a the whole of the Author sheaf catalogue containing accessions to 1936 in Volumes 1 and 2 and b in Volumes 3-9 the Author and Subject card catalogues containing accessions from 1936 to the end of 1963 together with some recatalogued pre-1936 accessions and c periodical publications as a separate sequence at the end of the Author card catalogue Volume 10.
