1970ref. 80685Delhi: Vikas Publishing 1970. First Thus. Octavo. 23.5cm. Publisher's orange cloth boards titled in black to spine. Dustjacket. 187pp. Strong and tight but visibly sunned to spine and edges of binding and a little bumped to the head of the spine. The priceclipped dustjacket is similarly sunned to the spine and has some light marginal wear but shows very well. A very good presentable copy. Internally clean with some annotation and emphasis to the text from an informed reader presumably Angus Thurmer. There is a 2 page letter from Major General Lunt dated January 1971 on Ministry of Defense notepaper to Angus Thurmer at the US Embassy in New Delhi discussing the book and the editing work and apprising Mr. Thurmer of his current status. Major General Lunt CBE had a prominent and successful career in the British Military spending a significant part of his career in India including a stint as Military Adviser to the High Commission there is a note on the title page to the effect that the book's attentive reader played Polo with Lunt whilst he was stationed in Delhi. The first edition of "From Sepoy to Subedar" was published in 1873 then languished forgotten for almost a century until Major General Lunt in his role as accomplished "Old India Hand" decided a new edition was called for. Primary source material for the period from native Indians is relatively thin on the ground spanning as it does Subedar Ram's memories of the Afghan Wars the first two the retreat from Khabul the subsequent trials and tribulations of a soldier's life and the post-"mutiny" changes to the leadership and administration of India and how badly that went. A fascinating account which should be ranked alongside "Confessions of a Thug" and Lady Florentia Sale's Journal as insights with all faults into the nature of life in and under the British Raj.

2006New French Original bdg. HC. Roy. 8vo. (24 x 17 cm). Text in completely Persian. [70], 610, [1] p. Akbar Nameh: History of India Gurkanids. Vol. 1.= Akbarnâmah: Târîkh-i Gurkâniyân-i Hind. Jild-i Avval. Edited by Golam Reza Tabatabai Majd. Shaikh Abu al-Fazal ibn Mubarak, also known as Abu'l-Fazl, Abu'l Fadl and Abu'l-Fadl 'Allami was the Grand vizier of the Mughal emperor Akbar, and author of the Akbarnama, the official history of Akbar's reign in three volumes, (the third volume is known as the Ain-i-Akbari) and a Persian translation of the Bible. He was also one of the Nine Jewels (Hindi: Navaratnas) of Akbar's royal court and the brother of Faizi, the poet laureate of emperor Akbar. Shaikh Mubarak's first son, the poet Abu'l Faizi and his second son Abu'l Fazl were born in Agra. Abul Fazl's education began with Arabic and by the age of five he could read and write. His father started teaching him about all the branches of Islamic sciences (manqulat) but Fazl could not adhere to conventional learning and he sank in a state of mental depression. A friend rescued him from this state and he resumed his studies. Some incidents from his early life reflect on his brilliance. A dictionary of Ishafani, which had been eaten by white ants came under his observation. He removed the parts that had been eaten and joined blank paper to the rest. He discovered the beginning and end of each fragment and eventually penned a draft text. Subsequently, the entire work was discovered and on comparison to Fazl's draft the original differed in only two or three places. In 1599, Abu'l Fazl was given his first office, at Deccan, where he was recognized for his ability as a military commander. He came to Akbar's court in 1575 and was influential in Akbar's religious views becoming more liberal into the 1580s and 1590s. He also led the Mughal imperial army in its wars in the Deccan. Akbar also records witnessing the passage of the Great Comet of 1577.
