Binding solid, boards professionally reattached. Readable, can be safely opened and used without fear of damaging book. Spine rebacked and missing part of the original leather. See pictures for appreciation. <br> <br> Sponsored by the East India Company, the Asiatic Journal covered 1. Original Communications, 2. Memoirs of Eminent Persons, 3. History, Antiquities, Poetry, 4. Natural History, Geography, 5. Review of New Publications, 6. Debates at the East-India House, 7. Proceedings at the East-India Colleges of Hertford and For William, and Military Seminary, 8. Appointments, Promotions, Resignations, 9. Births, Marriages, and Deaths, 10. East India Shipping Intelligence, Arrivals and Departures, 11. Lists of Passengers to and from India, 12. Ship Letter-Mails, 13. London Markets, Prices, Stocks, etc. <br> The series provides a fascinating window into an earlier world of discovery, imperialism, and exploration. While primarily focused on British India, the Journal connects seemingly disparate places and events from Cape Good Hope to Nagasaki (and beyond) and presents it for a contemporary British audience. The growth of American commerce in China in 1827, the news of the day from Bombay in 1829, Chinese musical instruments, debates of the day dealing with the East India company, a mission to Siam in 1822, an essay on the relative value of East and West Indies possessions, early translations of Persian and Sanskrit poetry, are but a few of the events chronicled. A must for all historians of 19th century Asia.
