Hardy(?), offering this book to Sir Colin(?) ‘as a mark of the gratitude which I feel towards him... the fact is most of the drawings have been spoiled by the binder, and others, I found I had lost, so that there are not as many as there would have been - however, if Sir Colin returns to England, it may amuse his friends there, as I fancy Sinde is generally speaking Terra incognita’, 2 pp., 8vo, contemp. green straight-grained morocco gilt, titled Sinde on spine, heavily rubbed and sl. wear to joints and extremities, folio. Included with this lot is an old complete transcript of the two works in this volume. As is evident from the journal Captain Del Hoste’s orders were as much political groundwork on behalf of Britain as general surveying. He was a member of Henry Pottinger’s 1831-32 diplomatic mission to Hyderabad and Khyrpoor, surveying not only the villages and towns that the mission travelled through, but commenting extensively on the Sindh people and physical geography. This was part of a larger attempt to counteract Russian imperialism by opening the Indus River to free trade. Del Hoste’s surveys and comments were submitted as two reports to the Bombay presidency, the main aim of which was to help the British establish a more commanding presence in Sindh. Edward Paterson Del Hoste was an officer in the East India Company. A member of the Bombay native infantry’s 16th Regiment, who after his period as a surveyor in Sindh held different posts in the Bombay presidency army, including Assistant Quartermaster General. Later in the 1830s he returned to the region writing on the trade routes, geography and commercial potential. (2)
