"Manca" la carta (inserita nella tasca al risg. del vol.) su Bombay. Murray's Guide to Madras and Bombay Presidencies for 1859 is in many ways the first modern guide book to India. The work encompasses a vast and fascinating range of topics, including meticulous descriptions of acceptable dress codes for European males and females and an exposition on the Manners of the Natives! Today, the chief scholarly value of the book lies in its construction of Indian history, politics and culture from a 19th century European frame of reference. "Rarissima edizione originale" di questa guida dedicata all'India e di cui furono pubblicate, sotto questo titolo, solo due parti: Madras e Bombay (cosi' precisa la British Library). Solo il piatto anteriore di un vol. un po' ammaccato, altrim. esempl. ben conservato.
