EXTREME-ORIENTLYALL (Sir A. L.).Etudes sur les murs religieuses et sociales de l'Extrême-Orient.Trad. P., 1885, in-8°, br., couv. défr., dos cassé. 750 gr.

See his entry in the Oxford DNB. The four items in good condition, lightly aged and worn, and all folded for postage. The last item with pin hole to one corner. The first three addressed to 'Dear Sir' and the last to 'Dear Fisher'. All four signed 'A C Lyall', both with and without periods after the initials. ONE (9 October 1888): 3pp, 12mo. Bifolium. He acknowledges the 'list of lectures', which 'contains already several subjects connected with Indian religion, so that I am inclined to doubt whether any additional contribution that I could make will not be superflous.' Nevertheless, he asks questions about his 'rights over his paper, after it has been read', and 'the actual length of time which the lecture is expected to take up in delivery'. TWO (17 December 1888): 3pp, 12mo. Bifolium. The 'proof of the Lecture List seems correct', and he suggests sending a dozen copies to his 'standing address' at Queen's Gate. He will 'defer replying definitively' with regard to the 'proposal that my manuscript shall be published in a volume'. He has been preparing the lecture, 'in rough notes, under the impression that the full manuscript, when filled out, would be at my own disposal for future use'. THREE (17 November 1895): 2pp, 12mo. The date that he suggests will suit Lyall 'very well for my lecture - so far as it is possible to engage ones' [sic] self for three months hence'. He has 'no experience of illustrations by the magic lantern', and does not know 'whether they would be procurable for a lecture on North India'. FOUR (23 April 1907): 2pp, 12mo. Bifolium. Begins: 'Dear Fisher, / It would be useless, I fear, to agree that you should give my name as a reference in connexion with your candidature for a Professorship of Commerical Law.' He explains why this is so, before stating: 'In regard to the offices you have held in India, no attestation from me is required, they can be verified from the Record of Service in the India List, and from other documents. / So I am obiged, with regret, to reply that I cannot comply with your request.'.…

hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. Publication: London, Macmillan and Co., 1902 Formatting: 8vo, pp. vi, 235. Condition Report: Very Good. The full calf leather binding remains exceptionally tight and structurally sound, with the hinges holding firm. The smooth leather boards display minor surface scuffing and faint linear scratches to the front panel, typical of soft calfskin, but are completely free of any significant shelf-wear, bumping, or edge-loss. The spine is remarkably well-preserved; its raised bands are crisp, and the gilt tooling, title, and 1902 date remain bright and unoxidised. The gilt inner dentelles and the all-edges-gilt (a.e.g.) text block are highly reflective and unblemished. Internally, the endpapers are intact and clean, with a red silk ribbon marker present. A handsome, sturdy, and highly presentable copy. Catalogue Note: This is the 1902 reprint of Lyallâs biography, originally published in 1889 as part of Macmillan's 'English Men of Action' series. The volume is distinguished by an elegant full calf binding attributed to the Guild of Women-Binders. Founded in 1898 by Frank Karslake, the Guild was a pioneering and highly influential collective that provided training, employment, and exhibition spaces for female bookbinders during the Arts and Crafts movement. Bound in a rich, smooth tan calf with raised bands, a fully gilt-edged text block, and delicate gilt tooling to the inner turn-ins featuring a three-petal shamrock corner-piece, this book survives as a superb example of the era's craftsmanship. Books bound by the Guild are increasingly scarce on the open market and remain highly prized by collectors of historical book bindings and women's history. Part of the celebrated 'English Men of Action' series, Sir Alfred Lyallâs Warren Hastings provides a deeply researched and balanced biographical account of the first Governor-General of India. Lyall meticulously traces Hastings's monumental tenure, documenting his administrative genius, the rapid expansion of the East India Company's power, and his highly publicized and grueling seven-year impeachment trial upon returning to England. Written with scholarly rigor, the biography offers vital insights into the turbulent formative years of the British Empire in India. N/A (illustrator).…
