Hardcover. Zustand: g to vg. First edition. Large Octavo. xvi, 182pp., 6 fold-outs, vi, (6) 300pp., 12 fold-outs,1 sleeve with fold-out. Dark green cloth with blind-stamped ruling and gilt illustration with reverse lettering on front, gilt lettering and blind-stamped ruling on spines, with additional sleeve with gilt lettering on cover housing a large (36 x 24"), linen-backed fold-out chart comparing 45 different ancient alphabets. Frontispiece engraving. Including "The Voice of Israel, From the Rocks of Sinai: and the Vestiges of Patriarchal Tradition from the Monuments of Egypt, Etruria, and Southern Arabia. With Illustrative Plates, A Harmonized Table of Alphabets, Glossaries, and Translations." lllustrated throughout in offset exquisite lithographs of artwork in text, on plates and multiple fold-outs. Forster, one of the six preachers of the Cathedral of Canterbury, and rector of Stisted, Essex, expounds on the interrelatedness of knowledge transmitted through a common ancient Egyptian language source. He believes that ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics and the Semitic alphabet have pictographic commonality that was then passed to Christianity. The third volume map is titled A Harmony of Primeval Alphabets. It compares the alphabets of Hebrew from Ethiopia, Arabic, Rosetta Enchorial Alphabet, the Etruscan Alphabet, and 39 other from around the world, even South America. The letters are organized by chart divided by language and type of letter. For example, you can see A, and scroll your eyes across the page to see all the various forms of the letter A, from every civilization from Babylonian to Celtiberian. Some wear along edges, small bumps and rubbed. Spine of vol. 1 frayed at head and tail, small chips at top and middle back joint. Small sticker in left upper corner of inside front cover with handwritten number. Vol. 2 covers rubbed, starting at inside cover and small ink blots on free front endpaper.

Buch Erstausgabe
FIRST EDITION. 2 vols 8vo. (23 x 15 cm.). pp.lxxxiii+errata+357;[iv]+509+directions to binder. Original blind-stamped blue/green cloth. 2 folding maps, one vignette plate with view of Akab al Hajar, folding broadside and one plate of inscriptions. Bindings lightly worn and soiled, spines faded from blue to green, contents clean, generally a very good set. First and only edition. "An attempt at the proof of the descent of the Arabs from Ishmael" (Ghani), based on the analysis of the pre-Islamic inscriptions uncovered in the Hadhramaut. Includes an interesting attack on Edward Gibbon's 'geographical' explanation for the rise of Islam out of Mecca; Forster denounces Gibbon's "scepticism" and "artful insinuations" by pointing out some of his errors in historical geography, meanwhile defending the claim of a Scriptural prophecy in favour of the descendants of Ishmael. Forster (1787-1871) was a graduate of Trinity College, Dublin, and a protege of Bishop John Jebb (1775-1833); although he did not live to know it, he was also grandfather to the novelist E.M. Forster. After assisting Jebb as curate and later as chaplain, Forster became rector of Sisted in Essex and one of the Six Preachers in Canterbury Cathedral. His first book, the controversially conciliatory Mahometasim Unveiled, appeared in 1829.

London, Duncan & Malcolm, 1844. Two volumes, 8vo. Near-contemporary calf by Rivià re in his typical style, marbled edges and endpapers; pp. lxxxviiii; 357, 1 folding map; vi, 509, 1 large folding map, 2 fold-out tables, one plate; a very clean and attractive set with engraved armorial bookplates by Christopher Turnon, MP, of Stoke Rochford Hall. First and only edition of this study of pre-Islamic inscriptions, cultural history and Arabian geography. The work of Rev. Charles Forster (grandfather of E.M. Forster), who set out to prove that the entire Arab world was descended from the biblical figure Ishmael (son of Abraham). Canonically speaking, Ishmael was promised descendants 'numerous as the dusts of the earth' and he settled in what we now know as Egypt, lending credence to the suggestion for anyone inclined to fundamentalist interpretations of the Abrahamic religious texts. This included Rev Forster - his travels, notes and deductions are all geared towards asserting the truth of the genaeological point of origin as specifed in the Bible. Much of his research was based in pre-Islamic Arabia, in the belief that writings since then might have been obfuscated by time. Somewhat ironically, it is the official stance of Islam that Ishamael was indeed the progenitor for the Arab race, we can probably attribute Forster's distance from Islam as a matter of principle rather than an academic quibble. In 1844, when the Historical Geography was published, explorers such as Burton, Palgrave or Doughty had yet to cast a shadow over the field of study, and thus Forster's research was not only original but is rather comprehensive for the period. 'It seems altogether owing to the neglect of these simple, and obvious first principles of geographical investigation, that so little has been hitherto effected towards the analysis of Arabian geography; and that what little has been done, amounts to nothing better than good guess work.' (Vol 1 p. LXII).
