1915ref. 177554Edinburgh: John Grant 1915. Updated edition presentation copy from the editor and his wife inscribed on her calling card mounted to the front pastedown "With all best wishes". This new and revised edition of one of Muir's famous Middle East histories was prepared by Thomas Hunter Weir. Margaret Weir translated several books on Islamic history including the main source used to update this edition. Sir William Muir 1819-1905 first released The Caliphate in 1891 which quickly became popular and ran to many editions. This edition incorporates new scholarship including Bell's volume of Greek papyri in the British Museum 1893 and Julius Wellhausen's Das arabische Reich und sein Sturz 1902. Margaret Weir 1865-1928 translated Wellhausen's book in 1927 under the title The Arab Kingdom and its Fall. Her translation was praised as an "excellent rendering of the German text" and "a work of high literary order" Bukhsh p. 40. She also proof-read the present volume and corrected the index p. ix. Muir spent most of his career serving as a colonial administrator in India holding the governorship of the North-Western Provinces between 1868 and 1874. His publications on Islamic history "were certainly controversial but because he was the first British scholar to attempt a popular interpretation of Islamic history based on study of the Arabic sources they were widely regarded as authoritative during the colonial era" ODNB. He was elected as president of the Royal Asiatic Society in 1884 and awarded the society's triennial jubilee gold medal in 1903. This work traces the history of the Rashidun Umayyad and Abbasid Caliphates from the death of Muhammad and the election of Abu Bakr in 632 to the fall of the Mamluk Sultanate in 1517. "It is however a really trustworthy and scholarly book. Muir sticks closely to his title-subject the Caliphate itself and does not allow himself to diverge to the history of the numerous Mahommedan dynasties which gradually sapped the Caliphs' power. For the first century of Moslem rule however it forms. the best and most readable authority we possess and no historical library can dispense with it" The Spectator. Octavo. Four colour folding maps diagrams in text. With 3 pp. of publisher's advertisements to rear. Original red cloth spine lettered in gilt covers ruled in blind top edge brown others untrimmed. Spine lightly sunned spine ends bumped maps lightly foxed otherwise bright: a very good copy. S. Khuda Bukhsh Studies: Indian and Islamic 1927; "The Caliphate: its Rise Decline and Fall" The Spectator 24 June 1899 p. 12. hardcover

1974ref. 090849London England / New York: The Zoological Society of London/Academic Press. Hardback. First Edition. The Biology of Hystricomorph Rodents. Couple of slight marks to cloth. Slight shelf wear to edges of D/J. Slightly sunned spine to D/J. This work is the outcome of a symposium held at The Zoological Society of London in June 1973 which focussed on the Hystricomorpha the rodent suborder comrptising the guinea-pig chinchilla coypu porcupine and about 180 other species living mainly in South America and Africa. Detailed asnatomical and endocrinological studies show the internal diversity of the group and a series of papers draws attention to its interesting reproductive physiology. Accounts of some of the species in their natural habitats and the synthesis of behavioural patterns serve to remind us that these animals are not just common domestic or laboratory animals but ones that have an intriguing past and an increasingly valuable future in bio-medical research. Here then is a reference work which contains much new information in the form of reviews and syntheses of the various biological subject areas of this extraordinary group of rodents. its publication will be welcomed by zoologists and members of the various disciplines represented including ecologists conservationasts reproductive phsyiologists biochemists and anatomists.
