Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Limited Edition. Association Copy. SIGNED BY THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON. Carmichael-Smyth, Major General Sir James. PRECIS OF THE WARS IN CANADA, FROM 1755 TO THE TREATY OF GHENT IN 1814. WITH MILITARY AND POLITICAL REFLECTIONS. London, 1826. Tall 8vo. [2pp, confidentiality leaf & printer's notice] +… xiv + 185pp + [1pp, London: Printed by C. Roworth, Bell Yard, Temple Bar]. The confidentiality leaf states: "N.B. -- This Volume is printed by Desire of His Grace the MASTER GENERAL, for the use and convenience of Official People only. It is requested it may be considered as confidential by those Persons to whom Copies may be sent." Inscribed, "Presented by the Author to Lt. Colonel Arnold Oct. 1826". Signed "Wellington" below the printed notice. Original boards, backstrip restored retaining most of the paper label. A clean untrimmed copy, near fine. Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington, helped defeat Napoleon and became Prime Minister in 1828. The inscription made out to "Lt. Colonel Arnold," is in all likelihood James Roberson Arnold, the second son of British General Benedict Arnold. James Robertson Arnold joined the Royal Engineers as a Second Lieutenant in March 1798, becoming First Lieutenant in June 1800, and Captain in 1805. His distinguished war services are described in Hart's Army List for 1854, which states in part that he served as A.D.C. to the "sovereign" [George IV ?; William IV, and Queen Victoria] from 1830 until 1841, and became Colonel in the Royal Engineers in January 1837. Colonel Arnold, during the mission to Canada, worked with Carmichael-Smyth in proposing improvements to the fortifications that resulted in the building of the Citadel at Halifax. This rare confidential work--for official circulation only--was first published in 1826 (and later reprinted in 1862). Carmichael-Smyth's official report to the Duke of Wellington, who was then Master-General of the Board of Ordnance, covers the campaigns against Quebec by Generals Benedict Arnold and Richard Montgomery in 1775, Burgoyne's campaign in 1777, and the military and political operations of the War of 1812. When Great Britain and the United States signed the Treaty of Ghent to end the War of 1812, few people on either side of the Atlantic believed that peace would endure. With the threat of another Anglo-American war, the Duke of Wellington sent a commission of Royal Engineers to Canada in 1825 to evaluate defense structures. Led by Sir James Carmichael Smyth, the entourage explored Upper and Lower Canada, thereafter reporting to Wellington on necessary improvements to the defense of British North America. The 1825 inspection and subsequent plans included expanding fortifications to existing defenses to prevent the potential US seizure of Canada, which focussed on the waterways from the St. Lawrence River to Halifax. All of which marked the beginning of a massive, long-term defensive scheme laid out by Wellington in 1826 which included improvements to the Lachine and Rideau canals, and the Citadel at Halifax. See: Defending Halifax: Ordnance, 1825-1906 by A. J. B. Johnston and The Halifax Citadel, 1825-60: A Narrative and Structural History by John J. Greenhough. [Lande 801]. Signed by Author(s).

with some Account of the Jummoo Rajas, the Seik Soldiers and their Sirdars . with notes on Malcom, Prinsep, Lawrence, Steinbach, McGregor and the Calcutta Review. First edition. Folding lithograph map, 5 lithographed plates & folding table. 8vo. Twentieth-century red half morocco over buckram, spine gilt, t.e.g., bookplate of th…e Junior United Service Club 1827 preserved on front pastedown. xxx, 263, [1], xl.pp. Calcutta, W. Thacker & Co., A very good copy of this history of Ranjit Singh, the first Maharaja of the Sikh Empire, and his descendants which the author states was "compiled partly from native manuscripts, and partly from information collected from Seik Sirdars, and European officers in the Seik service; but chiefly from the notes of a Captain Gardner of the Seik Artillery, who has for several years past supplied important information to the British Government ." Commencing with an account of Ranjit Singh and his family, it continues with chapters on the Secret History of the Lahore Durbar; The Siege of Lahore by Shere Sing; Goolaub Sing and Affghanistan; Murder of Jewalla Sing and of Ranee Chund Kour; The assassination of Shere Sing and Dehan Sing; Punishment of the Murderers; Birth and Parentage of Dulleep Sing; The Wuzeerut of Heera Sing; The Expedition to Jummoo; The Murder of Peshora Sing; Dearth of Jewahir Sing; Rajah Lall Sing, and the Slave-girl Mungela; The War with the British. Miscellaneous notes on Pholah Sing, the Akalee; The Mutiny in Cashmere; Wuzeer Zoroveroo; The Soodhun Revolt; and Futteh Khan Tewanah are appended as well as a Genealogical History of the Jummoo Family. Alexander Gardner, on whose notes the text was based, was one of the most colourful figures in India and Central Asia in the nineteenth century. Born in the United States, of Irish descent, Gardner spent thirteen years in the saddle travelling from the Caspian to the Aral Sea and on to Kabul where he entered the service of Habib Ullah, the dispossessed heir to the throne, then engaged in a struggle with Dost Mohammed. After Habib Ullah's defeat and the murder of Gardner's wife and child by Dost Mohammed's forces he fled to the Punjab in 1826. In 1831 he joined Ranjit Singh's army. He played a prominent role in the power struggle following Ranjit?s death, and later enlisted in Gulab Singh's service. He died in 1877, aged 91. Printed in Calcutta, this gossipy work is enhanced by the lithographed map and plates, each of which feature family portraits. The list of 297 subscribers includes many of the British active in the area at the time, from Sir Charles Napier to Lady Sale. The "Notes on Malcolm, Prinsep &c" comprise an interesting appendix in which the author addresses inaccuracies and misunderstandings in other published works. These include: Sir J. Malcolm's Sketch of the Sikh (1812), Henry T. Prinsep's Origin of the Sikh Power in the Punjab and Political Life of Muha-Raja Runjeet Singh (1834), Sir Henry Lawrence Some Passages in the Life of an Adventurer in the Punjaub (1842) and Colonel Steinbach's The Punjab (1845) amongst others. Most copies of this book are in poor condition as the paper is of inferior quality. This copy is one of the best we have seen.
