HARLAN J. A MEMOIR OF INDIA AND AVGHANISTAUN [sic] with observations on the present exciting and critical state and future prospects of those countries. Philadelphia: Dobson, 1842. First edition, 8vo., engraved portrait frontispiece of Dôst Mo??ammad, engraved folding map of Cabul and map of Djillalabad, later calf, gilt, bookplate of Charles Crofton-Atkins Note: Josiah Harlan (1799?1871) was an adventurer and soldier of fortune who possibly was the first American to travel to Afghanistan. He found employment as a surgeon with the British East India Company. In 1827 he entered the service of Shah Shooja-ool-Moolk, the former leader of Afghanistan who had been deposed in 1810. Following later intrigues with various Afghan leaders, he was later expelled by the British. The book begins with a discussion of the disastrous defeat of the Anglo-Indian force at the hands of Afghan tribesmen in January 1842. Six of the book's seven chapters deal with British India, its foreign policy, and its relationship to Afghanistan. The seventh, and by far the longest, chapter is a detailed description of Amir Dôst Mo??ammad Khân (1793-1863), based in part on Harlan's service to and interactions with the Amir.

STUART, JAMES & NICOLAS REVETT THE ANTIQUITIES OF ATHENS MEASURED AND DELINEATED BY JAMES STUART F R S AND F S A AND NICHOLAS REVETT, painters and architects. London: John Haberkorn for the Authors, 1762, 1782, & 1794. First edition, 3 vols. of 5, large folio, with 231 engraved plates, including folding and doublepage and a folding hand coloured map of Greece in vol. 3, contemporary calf, engraved head and tailpieces, Neo-Classical binding, with blind Greek-key pattern and gilt small egg and dart borders, spines decorated gilt in compartments with alternating bands of egg and dart and floral tools, a.e.g., by J. Bohn of London and with his small label at front, of vol. 1, outer joints a little rubbed, corners with a little wear, upper joint of vol. 3 splitting, lacking the final errata leaf in vol. 3, very occasional offsetting from the plates, otherwise a fine set with very good margins, with the armorial bookplate of William Phelps [3] Note: Volume 4 was published in 1816, printed by T. Bensley for J. Taylor; a supplementary fifth volume, "Antiquities of Athens and other places in Greece, Sicily etc." was published in 1830 in addition to the reprinting of the first 4 volumes by Priestley and Weale from 1825 to 1830. Lacks plate 29 from Vol. 2 chapter 1 which was never issued as explained on p. III of the Introduction. The portrait frontispiece of Stuart is in vol. 1, rather than vol. 2, and preliminary plates sometimes in vol. 3, in vol.1 The creation of the 'Greek Style' and its impact on British design in the late 18th century is largely due to Stuart's landmark publication Antiquities of Athens. Based on precise measured drawings done at the sites of the ancient ruins between 1751 and 1754, the work was the first accurate survey of ancient Greek architecture ever completed. The series of volumes allowed architects, sculptors and designers in Europe and America for the first time to use Neo-Classicism without having to go to Greece themselves and acted as a sourcebook for them for the next two centuries. It was still unfinished at the time of his death in 1788, with the final volume only appearing in 1816, when the Greek Revival it had fostered was starting to become the dominant force in British architecture.
