[Kaaterskill Books]

We offer for Sale:

Indophilus [Trevelyan, Charles E.]. THE LETTERS OF INDOPHILUS TO "THE 
TIMES." London: Longman, Brown, Green, Longmans and Roberts, 1858. 
110 pp. 8vo. Paper wrappers. Third edition.

In late 1857 both Trevelyan (as Indophilus) and F. Max Muller (as 
Philindus)  corresponded with The Times over the 1857 Indian Mutiny, 
its causes (the greased cartridges,  said Trevelyan), and what was 
necessary to be done in India. Trevelyan, who had served in India 
with the East India Company for years, and was then assistant 
secretary to the Treasury, was  appointed governor of Madras in 1858. 
Scarce. OCLC and RLIN and the BL show only 4 copies of this, the 3rd 
edition (Nat. Lib Scotland, Cambridge, Duke, & BL). There are 2 of 
the first  (Leiden & BL) and 2 of the second (Univ. Minn & BL). 
Lacking nearly all of the wrappers but for a bit of the spine and 
rear, faint browning to fore edge of title page else leaves, crisp, 
clean,  unmarked, and very good.   [30437] $150.00
