Hardcover. Etat : Near Fine. 18th Century Calcutta printing by Joseph Cooper - "The Indian Observer" - Hugh Boyd - Printed in Calcutta by Joseph Cooper, 1795 - First collected edition, written by Hugh Macaulay Boyd and compiled by Andrew Burchet Bone. - Octavo format: Contemporary calf binding neatly rebacked, with ownership inscription of Lt Colonel Henry Conran - Complete: [12], xxxv, [5], 273, ii, [1 blank], with engraved portrait frontispiece The text for this work contains the collected columns 1-53 of the Hircarrah which had originally been established by Boyd and published in newspaper/journal format in Madras (Chennai) from 1793 to 1794. The Hircarrah meant messanger in Persian, the local language of power and administration at the time. The journal discussed all which was fashionable to the elite europeans of the time including philosophy, the French, poetry, the theatre, ancient Greece and Rome, music, marriage, and British Indian Society. Hugh Boyd (1746-1794) was an Irish writer, journalist and colonial official. After graduating from Trinity College Dublin, he worked as a lawyer in London, where his eloquence and wit allowed him to move in the London political circles of Goldsmith, Garrick, Burke and Reynolds. After spending his wife's inheritance and becoming short of money, he travelled to India to enter into the service of Lord Macartney. He undertook a diplomatic mission to the King of Kandy in Ceylon, but was captured by the French on his return and was imprisoned on Mauritius. He later became a pioneer of Indian journalism, founding the Indian Observer and Hircarrah at Madras in 1793, before his untimely death in Madras from fever in 1794. Boyd unfortunately died before the publication of this compilation, and the text includes a description of the life of Hugh Boyd by Lawrence Dundas Campbell (i-xxxv) and a monody on his death. An engraving of Boyd is present opposite the title page. The owner of this volume, Lt Colonel Henry Conran (c1767-1829), served in India and Ceylon in the 52nd Foot (and later the 96th Foot) from 1793. He subsequently left India and fought in the War of 1812 and is listed as the Commander of forces on Jamaica in 1817. The printer of this work, Joseph Cooper, was a well established printer of journals in Calcutta. He was initially involved in publishing the Calcutta gazette in 1785, but soon went on to publish the weekly Calcutta Chronicle as well as the Calcutta Telegraph. Printing had only started in Calcutta in 1777 so was in its infancy in 1795 when this work was published. In his preface, the editor apologises for delays and typographical errors, referring to the "yet infant state of the press in India". This work is uncommon with OCLC and ESTC stating 8 copies only in institutions: NYPL, Oklahoma, California State Library, Library of Congress, Case Western Reserve, Bibliotheque de Quebec, NLScotland, BL.

Notes: A rare and influential history of England chronicling from the arrival of Julius Caesar to the end of the Saxon heptarchy. The English art historian, Sir Roy Strong, called Joseph Strutt, engraver, artist, antiquary, and writer the earliest and "most important single figure in the investigation of the costume of the past", making him "an influential but totally neglected figure in the history of art in Britain" [Strong, 50]. "Strutt, Joseph 1749-1802, author, artist, antiquary, and engraver. In 1771 he became a student in the reading-room of the British Museum, whence he drew the materials for most of his antiquarian works. His first book, 'The Regal and Ecclesiastical Antiquities of England,' appeared in 1773. For it he drew and engraved from ancient manuscripts representations of kings, costumes, armour, seals, and other objects of interest, this being the first work of the kind published in England. He spent the greater part of his life in similar labours, his art becoming little more than a handmaid to his antiquarian and literary researches. Between 1774 and 1776 he published the three volumes of his 'Manners, Customs, Arms, Habits, &c., of the People of England,' and in 1777-8 the two volumes of his 'Chronicle of England,' both large quarto works, profusely illustrated, and involving a vast amount of research. .Although the amount of Strutt's work as an engraver is small, apart from that appearing in his books, it is of exceptional merit and is still highly esteemed. In the study of those branches of archaeology which he followed he was a pioneer, and all later work on the same lines has been built on the foundations he laid." [DNB].

A complete but somewhat worn copy, with typical darkening to text leaves; a few brief marginal chips (including a small loss to frontispiece, costing a couple of characters of the printed margin); Good and sound. Early holograph ex-libris of a John Goulding. A very early exposition of the Lancasterian method of education, following by just a few years the American edition of Lancaster's own book, Improvements in Education (NY: 1807), and perhaps the first to delineate the application of his methods in a strictly American setting. Lancaster's method, which involved strict regimentation and the use of student monitors, enabled the "teaching" of hundreds of students in a single classroom. Lancasterian grammar schools were extremely popular in the early years of the Republic, as they filled an urgent need to build a literate working class in a nation with a paucity of qualified profefssional teachers; by the mid-19th century the method fell out of favor, in large part due to the influence of reformer Horace Mann. The "Epitome" printed here is followed by the full report of the Georgetown, D.C. Lancaster School Society for the year just past, to which is appended a letter from Lancaster himself praising the Society's efforts. Six wood-engraved plates illustrate aspects of the Lancasterian approach. Scarce in commerce. SHAW & SHOEMAKER 25817.
