Description historique et géographique de l'Indostan, traduite de l'anglais par J.B. Bouscheseiche, sur la septième et dernière édition, à laquelle on a joint des Mélanges d'Histoire et de Statistique sur l'Inde, traduits par J. Castéra

De l'imprimerie de Poignée, à Paris 1800 - An VIII, 3 tomes en 3 Vol. in 8 (12,5x20,5cm), xxxviij, 299pp. (2), relié. Edition originale française, rare, traduite par Bouscheseiche. Sans l'atlas contenant 11 cartes que l'on trouve souvent séparément. Reliure en demi veau vert marbré postérieur ca 1850 ; beau pastiche confondant d'une reliure d'époque. Dos lisse orné de grecques et de quatre fleurons. Pièces de titre et de tomaison en maroquin marron. Tranches marbrées. Un manque en queue du tome 2, se poursuivant sur le plat. Bel exemplaire, très élégant, et bien frais dans l'ensemble. L'Insdostan s'étendait de l'Himalaya au Nord, jusqu'à la presqu'île de Malabar et de Coromandel au Sud, c'est-à-dire la majeure partie de l'Inde à cette époque. L'étude de James Rennel est presque exclusivement géographique, et seul un chapitre sur la chute du grand Mogol sacrifie à l'aspect historique exception pour l'introduction au tome premier sur l'origine de L'Indostan et les conquêtes européennes. L'ouvrage fut très bien accueilli en Angleterre, Rennel fournissait assurément des renseignements précis et utiles à quiconque se rendait dans ces contrées. Afin de compléter la géographie physique et humaine de l'Indostan, l'édition française a ajouté plusieurs chapitres, une introduction de textes traduits par Castera sur l'histoire de l'Inde, la bibliographie des voyageurs, et qui forment une grande partie du troisième volume ; on relèvera avec intérêt le Voyage au Thibet de Samuel Turner. - De l'imprimerie de Poignée, à Paris 1800 - An VIII, 3 tomes en 3 Vol. in 8 (12,5x20,5cm), xxxviij, 299pp. (2), relié.
