réf. 48671presented to the Lords States Generall of the united Provinces in defence of the said Company touching the bloudy proceedings against the English Merchants executed at Amboyna. Together with the Acts of the Processe against the sayd English and the Reply of the English East India Company to the said Remonstrance and Defence. Published by Authority. London : printed by John Dawson for the East India Company 1632. Three parts in one volume small quarto modern panelled calf in period style spine in compartments with gilt decoration and lettering; pp. 8 29 1 blank; 2 separate title-leaf 38; 47; 1; with a full-page woodcut depicting the torture of one of the English merchants at Ambon bound in at the end of the preliminaries in effect as a frontispiece to the first part; main title with woodcut armorial device woodcut initials head- and tailpieces; some mild browning a fine copy. Together the three parts of this work provide a summarised account of the so-called Amboyna or Ambon massacre a watershed event that occurred at a time of growing rivalry between the English and Dutch East India Companies over control of the lucrative spice trade. In early 1623 at the Dutch garrison of Fort Victoria on the island of Amboyna in the Moluccas the local Dutch governor ordered the arrest of ten English merchants suspected of plotting to take over the garrison; they confessed under torture and were executed in February 1623. The English reacted by branding the event a massacre. This volume is sometimes found bound with another that was published in London the same year which also presents the controversy from an English perspective A True Relation of the Unjust Cruell and Barbarous Proceedings against the English at Amboyna in the East-Indies by the Netherlandish Governor and Councell there. Both publications helped fuel a rising tide of anti-Dutch sentiment; it would not be long before animosity would give way to open hostility with the outbreak of the First Anglo-Dutch War in 1652. Rare especially in such fine condition. STC 7450a unknown

Early (Pennsylvania?) manuscript ownerships of Mary S. Grubb and Mrs. Albert E. Landis. Called the Eighth Edition on the title page. On the half-title is a notice, printed in black letter, not frequently mentioned in descriptions of this edition: "The Profits of this Work are devoted to the Support of the Foreign Mission from America." Harriet Newell made the passage to India from America as a young wife and missionary in 1812 at the age of 19. She and her husband arrived in Calcutta in late June, but reembarked for France that October. On the voyage a daughter was born but died within a week. Harriet subsequently fell ill and died in France seven weeks later. The majority of the text is taken from Harriet's often high spirited letters and journals. She describes the ocean voyage in detail. Leonard Woods was among the founders of the American Tract Society in 1814 and American Temperance Society in 1826. **PRICE JUST REDUCED! PA 55
1925réf. 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.
