Item description from seller

A very scarce first edition of Charles Lewis Tupper's account of relations between the British government and its Indian feudatories. An author's presentation copy with 'with the author's compliments' to the half-title.Tupper's work was an extremely useful guide to the policies during the British occupation of India. The Oxford Dictionary of National biography refers to it as 'somewhat discursive and at times conjectural (the book is) of administrative service and remains of value.'With the bookplate of Henry Crossley Irwin to the front pastedown.An extremely scarce work in commerce. In the publisher's original cloth binding. Externally, generally smart. Patches of rubbing to the joints and to the extremities. Bumping to the extremities. Spine has faded slightly. Bookplate to the front pastedown. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are bright with just the occasional light spots to pages. Very Good Indeed.
