Beschreibung

An extremely scarce report from The Committee of Secrecy, by The Committee of Secrecy. A fascinating work enquiring into the causes of the war in the Carnatic, the Indian subcontinent. The work also assessed the "condition of the British possessions in those parts", discussing the British empire, and colonial rule. The Carnatic Wars saw English rule in the Indian subcontinent threatened by the French. Reviewing the war, its causes and the outcome of the military action, this work documents a significant moment in the history of the British Empire. Featuring fourteen folding tables and charts. In a contemporary tree calf binding with gilt detailing to the spine. Externally, a trifle rubbed, with wear and slight loss to the extremities. Front board is detached, with the rear being held by the cords only. Internally, firmly bound and surprisingly bright, with only some light scattered spotting. Some marginal repairs to the tables. Good. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers LTH26-H-3
