1909Best.-Nr. 179531Lahore: Punjab Government printed at the "Civil and Military Gazette" Press 1909. With the scarce maps First edition compiled only three years after the district's formation and including a plan of the civil station of Campbellpore. We have traced only ten copies on WorldCat four of which are in the UK: University of Birmingham Edinburgh University Manchester University and Oxford University. Attock has been inhabited since the classical period and was the location where Alexander the Great crossed the Indus. In the early 19th century it was occupied by the Sikh Kingdom under Ranjit Singh but was taken by the British East India Company in the Second Sikh War in 1849. It was then renamed as Campbellpore District after Sir Colin Campbell Commander-in-Chief of India. The district was annexed by the British government in 1858 and constituted as a distinct administrative body on 1 April 1904. This work contains comprehensive information on the district from its physical geography and history to its agriculture rent prices wages administrative divisions policing and education. It pays particular attention to the local tribes and their history while providing precise data on population patterns land ownership statistics and trade. The maps show the borders of the district's local communities. Octavo. With 4 heliozincographed folding maps printed in black and orange tables in text.

1925Best.-Nr. 180767Allahabad: Improvement Trust 1925-30. From the personal collection of the chairman First editions of these rare reports charting the overhaul of the infrastructure in the "City of Prime Ministers" a center of Indian nationalism. They were collected by Baldev Ram Dave Chairman of the Improvement Trust and cover the first five years of his tenure. This set documents the projects of the Allahabad trust over half a decade with multiple maps tables and illustrations of the progress. Such projects include the extension of Allahabad University the construction of Sir Harcourt Butler Market and the establishment of multiple housing schemes for those evicted from their homes. The number of volumes in the complete run is unclear but we have traced only one other set on WorldCat: 11 volumes held in Harvard University Library. In addition to the reports are three pamphlets. A Brief Note on the Improvement Trust of Allahabad gives an overview of its early history with blueprints to illustrate major projects. The addresses to Sirs William Malcom Hailey and Alexander Muddiman both governors of the United Provinces of Agra and Oudh in 1928 lay out the trust's goals and request further central funding. Rai Bahadur Pandit Baldev Ram Dave 1863-1942 was the trust's second chairman from 1925. The loosely inserted documents all relate to his projects including a hand-drawn sketch of the expansion of Zero Road up to Sheocharanlal Road a typescript letter from the notable engineer Raja Jwala Prasad discussing various initiatives and a government report on the efficiency of the trust in 1930. Dave is mentioned in an article in the Times of India from 11 November 2014 which notes that his department was responsible for the demolition of Nehru's family home in 1931. He reportedly took the last photograph of the building which was later gifted to Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. 8 works bound in 1 vol. quarto 327 x 210 mm.
