Paperback. Zustand: New. Language: English, Indo-Aryan languages. About The Book: ÒA Laskari Dictionary: Or Anglo-Indian Vocabulary of Nautical Terms and Phrases in English and HindustaniÓ by Thomas Roebuck, first published in 1882, is a comprehensive resource on 19th-century maritime language. The dictionary focuses on the terminology used by Laskaris, Indian sailors serving in the British Navy. It is organized into two sections: English nautical terms with Hindustani equivalents and Hindustani terms with English translations. Additionally, it offers a pronunciation guide for Hindustani words and a brief introduction to the language's grammar. The work captures the linguistic and cultural exchange between British and Indian sailors, documenting the "corrupt jargon" prevalent among Laskaris. This dictionary serves as a valuable tool for understanding the British Navy's history and the cultural interactions during colonial India, providing insights into how language facilitated collaboration in a multicultural maritime setting. About The Author: Thomas Roebuck (1781Ð1819), a Scottish East India Company officer, was an orientalist and lexicographer. He contributed to English-Hindustani linguistic studies, publishing dictionaries, grammar guides, and cultural works. Roebuck died in Calcutta while serving at Fort William College. William Carmichael Smyth authored A Laskari Dictionary, which documents Anglo-Indian nautical vocabulary, emphasizing terms used by Indian sailors (Laskaris) during the colonial era. Published in 1882, it showcases the linguistic and cultural exchange in maritime contexts. George Small, formerly a missionary in Northern India, later served as a teacher of Oriental languages and a missionary to Asiatics in London. He edited Eastwick's Hindustani Grammar (1858) and authored works like Manual of Hindustani (1859) and The Principles of English Grammar (1862). Small's scholarly contributions advanced the study of Hindustani and English, bridging linguistic and cultural understanding. His dedication to education and missionary efforts left a lasting impact on linguistic studies and outreach among Indian and Asiatic communities.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Fort William College was an academy established in Calcutta in 1800 by the British colonial administrator Richard Wellesley (1760-1842). Its purpose was to train British officials in numerous oriental languages, which resulted in the publication of several pioneering reference works and thousands of translated texts. First published in 1819, this book was compiled by Thomas Roebuck (1781-1819), assistant secretary to the college's council, as a tribute to Lord Wellesley's work. It contains records of all the memorable events that had taken place at the college since its establishment; Roebuck believed this would help new students in learning the principles on which the college was founded, and how former students had benefited accordingly. Drawing on official documents and containing writings by Wellesley himself, the work offers historians and linguists a valuable insight into a highly influential institution in British India.

4to (165 x 244 mm). 2 parts in one volume: (4), XXXII, 406; 397 pp., final blank page. Contemporary full cloth with giltstamped spine-title. First edition. More than 5,000 Persian and Hindustani proverbs compiled by four important scholars from Fort William College, Calcutta - a "large and curious collection" (Lowndes). "The original plan for the book, laid out by William Hunter, the Secretary to the Council of the College of Fort William, had been to include proverbs in Arabic, Sanskrit, and Punjabi, as well as Persian and Hindustani. Hunter was transferred to Java, however, and he delegated the work to [Thomas] Roebuck, who had learned Hindi from [John] Gilchrist and perhaps acquired an interest in proverbs from him. The book itself, an enormous publication amounting to 803 pages, was edited by H[orace] H[ayman] Wilson, as Roebuck died in 1819 before the work could be completed. The task of translating the 397 page section of Hindi proverbs also fell to Wilson" (Pels/Salemink). The result of this year-long labour is the present massive proverb collection representing proverbial speech. Its publication preceded a shift in colonial writing some sixty or eighty years later, when a discourse about caste came to predominate colonial representations of Indian society. - No copy in auction records since 1915.
