1998RARE monograph on the nature and pace of grammatical change during the formative period of today's Indo-Aryan languages, with emphasis on the emergence and development of the ergative construction in terms of the passive-to-ergative reanalysis and the co-existence of the ergative construction with the old and new analytic passive constructions. Based on a wealth of new data gathered from original poetic works in Apabhramsa (by Svayaṃbhadeva, Puspadanta, Haribhadra, Somaprabha et al.), it also contains sections dealing with descriptive techniques of Medieval Indian grammarians (esp. Hemacandra), with all the Sanskrit, Prakrit and Apabhraṃśa examples consistently parsed and translated. 225x155mm. XXIV+267 pages. Hardcover. Front cover upper corner bumped. Cover corners and front cover bottom edge slightly rubbed. Rear cover bottom edge worn. Spine edges slightly bumped. Previous owner's small stamp on whitepage upper corner. [SUMMARY]: This extremely rare study of Apabhramsa, of particular interest to scholars and students of Indo-Aryan and general historical linguistics, especially those interested in the issues of morphosyntactic change and typology in their sociohistorical setting, is in good condition.

Foundational work written by Robert Orme an official and historiographer for the British East India Company EIC with a noteworthy family provenance. The text chronicles the geopolitical struggles and military conflicts that paved the way for British dominance over the Indian subcontinent. The Cator family built a legacy of immense wealth regional development and colonial influence spanning three generations. Joseph Cator 1733–1818 laid the financial foundations as a wealthy "nabob" and high-ranking East India Company official in Calcutta. His 1780 marriage to Diana Bertie daughter of Sir Albemarle Bertie successfully elevated the family into the British aristocracy allowing him to return to England and manage expanding Kent estates like Beckenham Place Park. His son Peter Cator 1796–1873 leveraged this land inheritance during the mid-19th-century railway boom. Alongside his brother Peter transformed these holdings into the upmarket Cator Estate across Blackheath and Beckenham while also working as a lawyer and establishing educational scripture prizes in Madras. This colonial and legal influence continued with his descendant Sir Ralph Bertie Peter Cator 1861–1945 who served the British Empire as a prominent colonial judge holding key judicial appointments as the First Judge of British East Africa and later in the High Court of Constantinople. .
