2019ABOUT THE BOOK:- This book explores the history of documenting the fauna found on the Tamil coast and classifying them properly by the Europeans. The curiosity of the unfamiliar and the fascination of the exotic had led them to engage in the studies. The volume provides why a flood of information reached the Atlantic world and how the ideas transmitted served were an important force in the creation of knowledge. The author exhibits a wonderful picture of the insects, reptiles, snakes and he links the study of natural history with medicine explaining the poisonous bites and treatment. He then charts the development of the intellectual culture and experiences into a system of knowledge making on birds, animals and fish that emerged with interest in the academic societies of Europe. The archival and museum dexterity is on full display in the book with the scholars, company servants and practitioners in Germany , England, France, Denmark and Sweden and their projects which explored the natural world reframing the natural history. The work contains refreshingly new information on early modern natural history collection and includes several arresting illustrations thereby providing an innovative framework for understanding the formation of scientific practices and knowledge in Euro- Tamil relations. It analyzes the production of knowledge and focuses on recovering the role of people with multiple centres of knowledge production and exchange. ABOUT THE AUTHOR:- S.

Best.-Nr. 25035One letter from 1914 the other nine from 1915. Each on his letterhead 42 Frederick Street Victoria Chambers Edinburgh. In one of the present letters Hay signs himself as ‘Retired Behar Indigo planter’ and the material provides an knowledgeable commentry on the colonial textiles industry at the beginning of the First World War. Some of the material was printed in the Journal of the Royal Society of Arts. The recipient George Kenneth Menzies 1869-1954 was Secretary to the Royal Society of Arts between 1917 and 1935. A total of 21pp 4to. Each bears the stamp of the RSA some with manuscript docketting. Three of the letters appear to be incomplete: those of 4 and 9 January 1915 consists of an unsigned first page only and that of 5 January 1915 is paginated to 7 but lacks p.6. Each of the eight letters with a final page is signed ‘Lewis J. E. Hay.’ The condition of the material is good on lightly aged paper some items with pin holes from the attachment of pages. The first two letters 18 December 1914 and 4 and 9 January 1915 concern ‘Dr. F. Mollvo Perkin’s Lecture’ copies of which Hay requests in order to send them ‘to my friends who are interested in the Indian Indigo industry’. In the second letter he writes: ‘As a Planter I well know that many valuable lectures have been given and discussions have taken place at the Royal Society on Indigo and its Competitors which we planters in India never even heard of though we were vitally interested in the matter!’ He would like to ‘guard against this happening on this occasion’ as there seems to him to be ‘some chance of reviving our Industry provided Dr. F. Molvo Perkin’s most sound advice is taken.’ The incomplete letter of 5 January 1915 six pages of seven is headed ‘Natural Indigo’ and consists of ‘some comments on the generally speaking very accurate description given by the Author of the manufacture of the above dye as practised in Behar’. Topics touched on include ‘the colour of the steeped liquor’ indoxyl ‘the Dutch planters process’ ‘known differences in dyeing strength’ ‘vitamines’ ‘the Chinese method of extracting Indigo’. He ends with a warning of the need to ‘hold the fort against a German monopoly’: ‘our home manufacturers . will assuredly suffer should Germany reach her goal a monopoly of the dye-stuffs of the World’. In another letter of the same date he responds positively to Menzies telegram proposal to ‘publish bulk of your letter in Society of Arts Journal’. Incomplete letter of 9 January 1915 first page only contains comments on ‘Chinese Alkaline Extraction Vat’. A three-page letter of 11 January 1915 is signed ‘Lewis J. E. Hay / Retired Behar Indigo planter.’ It discusses the ‘Alkaline method of Extraction’. In the following four-page letter 14 January 1915 Hay seeks to ‘sum up my conclusions on the existing Behar process and give my suggestions briefly for a possible alternative one’. A two-page letter 18 January 1915 discusses the relative merits of ‘Natural Dye’ and ‘Synthetic’. A postscript reads: ‘It would be helpful if Dr. Perkin Professor Armstrong & other scientists could be induced to give their views for alternative processes. If you thought of publishing my letter of 14th. inst. perhaps Dr. Perkins would very kindly write a note for publication at the same time. / L H.’ The final letter 8 February 1915 concerns a completely different subject being a covering letter for a paper ‘Re Possible Origin of Malignant Diseases’: ‘I don’t know if my Article is suitable for publication but it may prove of interest to investigators engaged in Cancer Research - also the causes of some forms of Insanity.’ One letter from 1914, the other nine from 1915. Each on his letterhead, 42 Frederick Street, Victoria Chambers, Edinburgh. unknown
