The Sepoy Revolt. A Critical Narrative. Second Edition.

INNES, VC M.

Edité par Innes,, 1897

8vo., Second Edition, with a coloured folding map on japon as frontispiece and 6 large folding maps and plans (a number coloured) on japon at end, some light and mainly marginal spotting to text; original red cloth, upper board and backstrip lettered in gilt, crudely recased with new red endpapers, covers moderately age-soiled (but all gilt wholly legible), a good, firm copy. This history of the Mutiny re-examines its origins, development and eventual suppression. The author's conclusions are based on his personal experiences. Published in the same year as the first edition. This edition contains an important author's Preface in which he responds to comment on the original. Topics covered include the policy of Lord Dalhousie, the degree of indigenous disaffection, and the eternally controversial matter of the greased cartridges. VERY SCARCE. Mulholland & Jordan I16 (recording the first edition); Sorsky 553. N° de réf. du vendeur 18732
