Two volumes: folding frontispiece map of Oude, lxxx + 337pp; vi + 424pp; original blind stamped textured red cloth boards, spine gilt lettered and decorated with a headpiece vignette of the Buddha, 20.2 x 12.5 cm, with the binder's ticket of Westleys & Co., front hinge of the first vol starting, and the first three gatherings of the second, but both volumes sound, if a little shaken, prelims of the first vol dampstained, occasional neat marginalia, boards bumped and scuffed, good complete set. With the armorial bookplates of Henry Crossley Irwin, Mount Irwin, and his neat, inked signature (adding "C.S. Bahraich, 1877" denoting his Civil Service placement in Uttar Pradesh), and his inked stamp "H.C. Irwin B.C.S." (Bengal Civil Service) on the free endpapers, neat modern owner's signature on the blanks. Rare with a noteworthy interconnected colonial provenance. Published posthumously, this observational account by Sir William Sleeman (1788?1856) exposed the corruption and "thuggee" lawlessness in Oudh under the King's rule. Paradoxically, the British used Sleeman's observations to justify annexing the region in 1856. Sleeman fiercely opposed this move, predicting it would spark a mutiny - a prophecy fulfilled shortly after his death. This heavily consulted copy belonged to Henry Crossley Irwin (1848?1925), Irish author, Bengal Civil Service official, and Justice of the Peace. His Mount Irwin estate bookplate is affixed inside. Irwin authored "The Garden of India" (1880), a critique of British land policies in Oudh post-annexation. Irwin acknowledged Sleeman as a primary source for his work. Loosely enclosed is a June 24th, 1906, newspaper cutting from ?The Pioneer? (Allahabad), the premier daily of British India. The piece is a review of H.G. Keene's memoirs, authored and initialled in ink by Irwin himself. As fellow members of the Indian Civil Service "old guard," Irwin uses the review to critically analyse pre-Mutiny British policy, directly mirroring the themes of the book.…
