Prima edizione italiana di questa importante studio dedicato all’India ed al commercio con essa, scritta dal noto storico, storiografo, teologo scozzese William Robertson (Borthwick, 19 settembre 1721 – Edinburgo, 11 giugno 1793). Rettore dell’Università di Edimburgo per quasi trent’anni, ha dato contributi notevoli alla storia dell’sud America, della Spagna e della Scozia stessa. Cappellano del Castello di Stiriling, fu anche cappllano del re in Scozia. Fedele presbiteriano e un whig, si offrì volontario per difendere la città contro i giacobiti guidati dal principe Carlo Edoardo Stuart nel 1745. Nel 1754 fu un membro originale della Select Society, indicata anche come la Edinburgh Select Society. Le sue opere “Storia della Scozia fra il 1542 e 1603” (1759) e “Storia d’America” (1777), sono considerati alcune delle opere storiche più importanti del settecento. Figura preminente dell’illuminismo scozzese, fu tra i fondatori della Royal Society di Edimburgo. Nel 1791, il celebre storico scozzese, William Robertson, pubblicò il suo ultimo lavoro, “An Historical Disquisition concerning the Knowledge which the Ancients had of India”, nel quale esplorò i collegamenti commerciali e culturali dell'India e dell'Occidente dai tempi antichi fino alla fine del il XV secolo. Questo studio è considerato fra i primi esempi del movimento "orientalista" britannico e dello studio dell'espansione del dominio britannico in India. Per certi versi il suo lavoro che pur rifletteva i presupposti e gli approcci della scuola orientalista britannica, probabilmente anche in risposta alle critiche mosse a Robertson secondo le quali la sua precedente Storia dell'America era stata troppo sprezzante nei confronti delle culture amerindi, andò oltre rispetto a molti orientalisti nella sua interpretazione positiva della cultura indiana e della loro opposizione a una politica imperiale interventista e repressiva. In effetti, il lavoro era in gran parte diretto a preservare l'antica e sofisticata civiltà indiana dall'imperialismo culturale occidentale. La visione favorevole di Robertson su ciò che percepiva come credenze monoteiste alla base dell'induismo “classico”, rivela molto sui suoi atteggiamenti religiosi come sacerdote e leader del partito “moderato” nella Chiesa di Scozia. La sua storia dell'India verrà sottovalutata in Gran Bretagna (nonostante le sue grandi vendite), in gran parte, non per il valore dell’opera in sé, indubitabile, ma per la situazione politico, religiosa e sociale del Regno Unito dell’epoca. Le sue tesi sull'induismo e la sua critica delle missioni cristiane, non potevano che esser in contrasto con la crescente ondata di risveglio evangelico che stava vivendo in quegli anni il suo paese natale. Tuttavia, la sua opera, grazie anche alle numerose traduzioni, venne lentamente recuperata e valorizzata, con il passare degli anni, arrivando ad avere un ruolo di primaria importanza nel promuovere l'interesse per l'India, nel continente europeo e rappresentò uno dei risultati più significativi del tardo illuminismo scozzese.

1915réf. 56328Bangalore: Office of the Director Southern Circle Survey of India P.B. No. 44 1915. 4to. 7.25 x 9.75 in. which holds a 32-panel linen backed colour-printed map which folds out into double atlas folio sized map sized 36.5 x 53 in. Mounted within Navy-blue linen portfolio printed label w/ manuscript annotations on front cover indicating the sheet number minor shelfwear slight rubbing still NF copy. First edition thus of this map of Bangalore prepared under the auspices of the Survey of India Office of the Director in the opening years of World War I. This remarkable topographical map featuring a scale of 1” to 1 mile is based on the surveys first launched by William Lambton in the 19th Century known as the Great Trigonometrical Survey of India led successively by Lambton George Everest Andrew Waugh and James Walker. These fulfilled the premise that geodetic survey was the only option for accurate maps of large areas and much of this work in the survey of India was based upon the base lines in Bangalore originally measured by Warren and the base lines of Kumta by De Penning. These original linen-backed survey maps of India from the early 20th Century have become quite scarce.
