rif. 108549London Printed for T. Cadell Jun. and W. Davies 1798. . First and only edition 8vo 22 x 14.5 cm; armorial bookplate of Sir Archibald Grant of Monymoske to front pastedown dated advertisement half title occasional light spotting; morocco back marbled boards title in gilt to spine corners lightly rubbed; 53 1pp. A very good copy. The anonymous reply by an officer of the East India Company to Eyle Irwin's d. 1817 An Enquiry into the Feasibility of the Supposed Expedition of Buonaparte to the East 1798. In his treatise Irwin born in Calcutta to an officer of the Company had downplayed Napoleon's purported ambition to conquer British possessions in Asia following his defeat in the Battle of the Nile. Without wishing to 'damp the universal joy' which had infected the public mood following Nelson's victory at the Nile earlier in the year the anonymous author of the Reply sounds a more cautionary note urging his readers not to allow their current enthusiasm to become reckless jingoism. Diagnosing the issue as an 'aversion to bestow praise on an enemy' the author predicted that an alliance of French and Russian forces could undertake a joint invasion of India a threat which almost came true but for Napoleon's reluctance to expose his already army tired army to defeat.

French manuscript written in Karaikal French India since 1739 which gives a detailed explanation of the Indian caste system: the author explains in the beginning of the text that the French people are ill-informed about it. To illustrate the Indian caste system the anonymous author tells lively anecdotes and makes comparisons with French social classes and parallels to biblical stories. The author not only describes the details of the four castes Brahmin Raj Vaisya and Sudra including their hierarchy and advantages the purpose of this social structure and the experience of those who lose their caste. He goes further speculates about the way different cultures criticize each others morals. He argues that all nations criticize each other in some way simply because the habits of cultures differ each with its own good reasons. He also wrote about the extent of superstition in the customs of Indian people for example the beliefs surrounding cows. He concludes that not all their customs are superstitious.
