Antoine FANTIN - DESODOARDS

Révolutions de l'Inde pendant le dix-huitième siècle; ou mémoires de Typoo-Zaeb, sultan du Maissour

Chez George Bridel, à Paris 1796, in-8 (12,5x20cm), xvj, 382pp. et (4) 358pp., 2 volumes reliés.

First edition, rare.Pleine Sheepskin marbled time. Back smooth decorated. Pieces of red morocco title and volume numbers in black morocco. Caps head threadbare. Parts very rubbed titles with gaps. Some corners bumped. A wetting at the right margin at the corner on the first ten pages of the first tome.Histoire, geography and customs of Hindustan, ie the Mogul empire stretching from the Himalayas in the north to the peninsula of Malabar and Coromandel on the south by the Sultan of one of the provinces of this nation. Fantin-Desodoards assured, initially accompanied by Mirabeau, translation and formatting for editing. The book contains a lot of valuable information, it is cut into thin varied chapters, including the Dutch counters, Portuguese, and jeopardizes the English in Hindustan. These memories should have appeared in 1784, as they were led by a delegation in order to inform the French about the situation of this country, but the Revolution and events in France delayed the publication. --- Please note that the translation in english is done automatically, we apologize if the formulas are inaccurate.
