4to. Pp. vi, 141. Text in English and Chinese characters. Tiny hole in upper margin of first two leaves. Contemporary cloth backed boards, lightly rubbed, spine lettered, spine ends restored. First edition. The work was originally intended to be appended to the author's Chinese-English dictionary (Macao 1815-23) according to the preface. It is an important complement to the dictionary with information on history, geography, religion, festivals, etc, that is useful for people studying Chinese. The Reverend Robert Morrison, born in Scotland, was the first Protestant missionary in China. He arrived in Canton in 1807 and remained in China until his death in 1834. He became known for his linguistic abilities, serving as an interpreter on Lord Amherst's embassy to Peking in 1816, making the first Chinese version of the Bible, and compiling the first Chinese-English dictionary.

First edition of this important sinological imprint, unrestored in the original boards. Morrison wrote A View of China as both a standalone reference and to accompany his famous dictionary of Chinese. The printing process employed Chinese type specially cast in Macao using a hybrid English and Chinese method. The East India Company's Macao press was established in 1814 with type and equipment brought from Europe and an initial investment of almost 15,000 pounds. Its first manager, Peter Perring Thoms (1791-1855), supervised the production of Morrison's dictionary over a seven-year period, during which he also undertook a number of side printing projects. For his many sinological contributions, Morrison deserves his reputation as "the chief person who opened to his countrymen the road to the knowledge of the language of China" (ODNB). After serving as the interpreter during Lord Amherst's abortive mission to Peking, he returned to Britain in 1824, bringing with him a substantial library that became the core of the collection at the School of Oriental and African Studies. Cordier 65; Löwendahl 793; Lust 126. Quarto, pp. ii (blank), vi, 141, 3 (blank). Diagrams and Chinese characters in text. Original boards, printed title label. Housed in custom black quarter imitation morocco slipcase and patterned cloth chemise.

First and sole edition of the earliest maritime regulations printed in India, detailing the day-to-day governance of the Bombay Marine, the East India Company's navy. Rare, with only two institutional locations recorded. Founded in 1612 and based successively at Surat and Bombay, the Marine became a principal instrument of British expansion from the Red Sea to Southeast Asia, supporting major campaigns against the Marathas, the Mysore and Burmese states, and - most prominently - the Wahabi Qasimi confederation in the Gulf. Its squadron played a decisive role in the 1809 and 1819 operations culminating in the General Treaty of Peace, earning high praise from naval commanders and Governor Mountstuart Elphinstone. The Marine was equally important as a surveying body. These regulations illuminate the rigorous expectations placed on officers such as Blair, McCluer, Ross, and Brucks, whose coastal surveys from the Gulf to the China Seas underpinned British navigation for decades. The text formalizes command responsibilities, shipboard discipline, victualling and punishments, and mandates systematic hydrographic surveying, accompanied by 17 templates for logs and accounts. Issued under Henry Meriton, superintendent and commander of the Gulf Squadron, they reflect the Marine's transition into a permanently deployed regional force at a pivotal moment in Company rule. Guillemette Crouzet, Inventing the Middle East: Britain and the Gulf in the Age of Global Imperialism, 2022; Charles Rathbone Low, History of the Indian Navy (1613-1863), 1877; William Monk, "The Persian Gulf Squadron: British Hegemony in the Gulf?", Qatar Digital Library. Quarto (269 x 210 mm). pp. [iv], 130. With 17 tables, 5 of them folding. Neat 20th-century dark blue half calf, spine gilt lettered longitudinally, single blind rule to the spine and corners, marbled boards. Light staining to the margins of the title page, pale browning throughout, but very good copy.…

First Chinese edition of this considered analysis of Chinese poetry, following the equally rare London edition by five years, with the bookplate of the American diplomat W. W. Rockhill, the first American to learn Tibetan. This edition also incorporates previously unpublished material: Davis's recollections of the 1816 Amherst embassy to Beijing and two examples of his prodigious scholarly output. Having joined the East India Company in 1813 as a writer based in Canton, Davis's (1795-1890) linguistic abilities earned him a place in Lord Amherst's ultimately unsuccessful delegation. He carved out a reputation as a formidable scholar of Chinese, publishing literary translations in 1817 and 1822 and a Chinese lexicon in 1824. After further scholarly activity in the 1830s and early 1840s, he was appointed the second governor of Hong Kong in 1844 - a position he held for four years. Poeseos Sinensis Commentarii promotes the aesthetic merits of Chinese poetry in the face of European and American bias and allowed the author to demonstrate his "vast knowledge of classical Chinese and profound academic expertise" (Lan, p. 28). It was read to the Royal Asiatic Society on 2 May 1829 and printed in London soon after. In the last five decades, only one example of the 1829 edition and one other example of this edition are recorded in commerce. Pages 111 to 151 present a diary-style account of the Amherst embassy and serve as a taster of the fuller account published in Davis's Sketches of China (1841). Following this is a translation of part of the Chinese historical text San Guo Zhi ("the first attempt to print Chinese and English in alternate pages, a plan which might be found useful in studying the language" - p. 157) and a short essay on Chinese legal attitudes towards murder. Rockhill (1854-1914) held a string of diplomatic posts in Beijing and Korea and served as Assistant Secretary of State in Washington, DC. "Rockhill's fame rests on his diplomatic career, but he was first and always a dedicated, pioneering, and prolific Orientalist. Whether he was uncovering and translating ancient Chinese and Tibetan classics or exploring remote parts of China and Tibet between 1888 and 1892, with amazing indifference to his personal safety, Rockhill was driven by the late nineteenth-century search for 'objective,' scientific truth and the love of knowledge for its own sake. Rockhill was one of a handful of Westerners to penetrate Tibet and Mongolia, and in 1908 he was honoured by having several long conversations with the Dalai Lama, who sought the American's advice on his delicate relationship with the Manchu Court and Tibet's future" (ANB). Cordier 1791; Löwendahl 896; Lust 1092. Lan Jiang, A History of Western Appreciation of English-translated Tang Poetry, 2018. Octavo (220 x 135 mm). Chinese characters in text. Contemporary red pebble-grain morocco, raised bands milled in gilt, compartments framed in gilt, marbled sides and endpapers, top edge sprinkled red, binder's ticket (H. Matteosian, Istanbul) on rear pastedown. Binding lightly rubbed, contents clean: very good.…

First edition of this culturally significant Macao imprint, the first translation of a Cantonese literary work into English. Shipped from China on an East India Company vessel, copies of Thoms's translation spread from London across Europe and found an enthusiastic audience: in 1827, the 77-year-old Goethe spent almost half a year poring over the copy in the library of the Duke of Saxe-Weimar. The last traceable complete example appeared in commerce in 1988. Thoms (1791-1855) arrived in China in 1814, bringing with him moveable type and other equipment sent at the expense of the East India Company and needed to print Robert Morrison's landmark Dictionary of the Chinese Language. Over the next decade, despite the all-consuming nature of the Dictionary project, Thoms found time for research into bronze vessels, linguistics, and literary history. Chinese Courtship takes as its subject the 17th-century Hua Jian Ji, a 60-chapter poem telling the story of a young scholar and his love for two women. "Given that some of his social betters appear to have claimed that the Chinese have no poetry worth translating, Thoms also set out to vindicate the Chinese poetic tradition in the eyes of European sceptics" (p. 149). In this, he was successful. Chinese Courtship, and other translations that came in its wake, offered Western readers new cultural touchstones from which to draw inspiration. The appendix, "On the Revenue of China", is a translation of a manuscript composed by a Chinese official in 1823. It includes figures for taxation and grain production, descriptions of the economic situation in different provinces, and details on civil service and military establishments.
