1807rif. 122432Calcutta: Star Press 24 January 1807. Haunting piece of Company-rule ephemera announcing the funeral of William Townsend Jones c.1757-1807 attorney on the council of the Supreme Court of Judicature at Fort William the highest court of British India from its foundation in 1774 until 1862. Jones's name is now usually connected with his indictment in December 1789 for flogging to death one Sheriut Allah the brother of his durwan gate-porter whom he suspected of stealing one of his dogs which was "an unlikely crime for a Muslim" Franklin. He was acquitted by the Supreme Court who concluded that Sheriut Allah had died by suicide by eating opium. The affair arose only two years after the impeachment of Warren Hastings in 1787 whose fall from grace had begun with a similar miscarriage of justice involving the execution of a native East India Company administrator Nandakumar. Jones is also a recurring character in the recently published diaries of Calcutta surveyor and builder Richard Blechynden 1759-1822 which reveal that he was also rumoured to have killed another of his servants his mater sweeper. The undertaker Peter Lindeman 1771-1856 of Scottish descent worked from premises at 144 Durrumtollah; from 1803 the Calcutta Missionaries held services in his house on Cossitollah Street until the completion of a new chapel at Lall Bazar in 1809 of which he became a trustee.

2008rif. 28134Cambridge University Press. Fine in Very Good dust jacket. Hardcover. Book is fine. Front DJ flap creased. 1 very tiny chip to DJ.; Latin and especially Greek texts of the imperial period contain a wealth of references to 'India'. Professor Parker offers a survey of such texts read against a wide range of other sources both archaeological and documentary. He emphasises the social processes whereby the notion of India gained its exotic features including the role of the Persian empire and of Alexander's expedition. Three kinds of social context receive special attention: the trade in luxury commodities; the political discourse of empire and its limits; and India's status as a place of special knowledge embodied in 'naked philosophers'. Roman ideas about India ranged from the specific and concrete to the wildly fantastic and the book attempts to account for such variety. It ends by considering the afterlife of such ideas into late antiquity and beyond.; Greek Culture in the Roman World; 374 pages . 2008. 0521858348 . Cambridge University Press hardcover

1994rif. 18030I. B. Tauris. Very Good in Very Good dust jacket. Hardcover. Former owner's name in pencil and blindstamp to ffep. Else very minor shelfwear to book and DJ.; This study in comparative mythology interprets the Greek myths in the light of the mythologies of other Indo-European cultures - Indian Celtic Scandinavian Roman Greek Iranian and Ossetian. The author uses a modified version of the schema proposed by the French theorist Dumezil to consider the profound connections between such works as the "Iliad" the "Odyssey" the Indian epics - the "Ramayana" and the "Mahabharata" - the Iranian "Book of Kings" and the Scandinavian "Yaglingasaga". The book includes a long critical exposition of the discipline of comparative mythology from its 18th-century origins to the revival of the discipline by Dumezil and his followers from 1938 to the present. It also reassesses the profound critique of Dumezil which linked him with Nazi ideology.; 256 pages . 1994. 1850438315 . I. B. Tauris hardcover
