Miscellaneous Papers on Scientific Subjects, Written Chiefly in India. [Major Burt's Papers]. [DEDICATION COPY].
London, Printed for the Author, and Sold by Wm. H. Allen & Co. 1837. 1st Edition. Hardcover. Three parts in one volume. Crown octavo. Pp. xii, 188, (2) directions to the binder, errata; 12; 19. Plus 3 folding tables, (the largest printed on both sides), one bit worn along fold. Text figures, full-page tables. Half-title present. HARDCOVER, bound in the original publisher's full green pebbled cloth, title "Major Burt's Papers" gilt-stamped on spine within ornamental frame, slcorner-tips and spine bit frayed in places. Good copy. ~ FIRST EDITION. A Dedication Copy, with an autograph dedication to the orientalist John Shakespear, "With the Author's Compliments," on first free endpaper. The book includes, beside the main work, the papers "Hydrophobia," "On the Rapacity of the Wolf," "On the Cunning of the Spider," and "Tour through Paris and Part of the Netherlands, including Waterloo". It is the first volume, complete in itself, of "Miscellaneous Papers on Scientific Subjects." Initially published as a single-volume work, it was so well received that the project consequently progressed to a 3-volume series (1837-68). Thomas Seymour Burt (1805-1890), Captain in the Bengal Engineers, Major of Engineers in the Spanish Service, was a dedicated explorer and a prolific writer. Among his books are Narrative of a Late Steam Voyage from England to India (1840); Account of an Excursion in Search of Ancient Inscriptions (1847); A Metrical Epitome of the History of England (1852); Poems Consisting of Tales from the Classics (1853); Account of a Voyage to India, via the Mediterranean (1859); The History of England, from the Earliest Records (1886). He edited Observations on the Curiosities of Nature (1836). I-2 IN .

Dixon resided in Japan for four years, occupying during that time the Professor of the English Language and Literature's chair in the Imperial College of Engineering, Tokyo. He returned to Scotland in 1880 in order to study for the ministry, and wrote his impressions of Japan in "The Land of the Morning" in which he gives an interesting account of Japan and the Japanese. On March 4, 1882, shortly after the publication of the book, the reviewer of "The Spectator" wrote: "The judgments that the author passes on men and things, on national habits and customs, have all the appearance of reasonableness and impartiality. They lean to the favourable side, nor is this strange, considering the kindness and courtesy which the author almost uniformly met with, even in his remotest journeys. But there is nothing of blind partiality." F-2 .
