A pair of hand coloured engraved maps: 50 x 59 cms; 54.3 x 68.5 cms (sheet); central fold, some browning to the inset maps and faint age-toning to the sheets, small sealed hole to the key of one map, a few neat repairs to margins but an attractive pair of maps in very good condition. Highly detailed sheet maps that form a complete view of the Indian subcontinent during a period of significant British East India Company expansion. Published in Edinburgh by John Thomson as part of his New General Atlas (c. 1814?1821), the first of the maps covers Northern India from Persia and the Indus Valley in the west to Assam and Bhutan in the east, extending north into Tibet, with two inset maps which feature a remarkably detailed map of the Kingdom of Nepal, (which was rarely visited by Westerners at that time), and a second inset of Cabul (Kabul) in the upper left. The Southern map covers the peninsula from Bombay in the north down to the northern part of Ceylon (Sri Lanka). A beautiful pair of maps with attractive hand-colouring defining eight spheres of influence identified in the key in the lower left of the Southern map, for example red for British-controlled areas, orange for the Nabob of Oude, green for the Berar Rajah.…

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to Asia Bookroom ANZAAB/ILAB, Canberra, Australian Capital Territory, Australia, +61 02 62515191, without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
Shipping terms
The shipping prices quoted on ABEBooks reflect what we have found to be the "average book". Of course in reality there are many books that do not weigh what an "average book" weighs so there are times when we need to requote shipping, just as there are times when we are in position to refund some of the shipping. Please rest assured we try to get your order to you for a reasonable price, as quickly and as well packed (we carefully pack all of our parcels in book boxes) as possible.
