Imprint: New York, Viking Press, 1980 Emily Annie Theophila Metcalfe, the eldest daughter of Sir Thomas Metcalfe, was born at Meerut in the North West Provinces, India, in 1830. Her earliest recollections were of the family home in Delhi, where she spent most of her childhood until the age of five, when she was sent home to England; she was not to return to India until early in 1848, when she was seventeen. Just over two years later, at the age of nineteen, she married Sir Edward Clive Bayley in Delhi. Her reminiscences, skilfully edited by M.M. Kaye, provide a sparkling account of a young lady growing to maturity amid the flamboyant finery of the dying Moghul Empire. Through her eyes we see a world fascinatingly remote from our own in terms of both space and time. But an extra dimension is added by the inclusion of over 110 facsimile pages of the "Delhie Book" compiled by her father, Sir Thomas Metcalfe, who commissioned illustrations from some of the finest of the Delhi artists and wrote detailed descriptions of the places and personages around him. 217p.

His father was killed while working for Henry Mundol, a notorious fleet owner, and in the search for answers Matthew secures a berth aboard 'Happy Jack,' one of Mundol's smacks.Within days, consumed by fever, a hellish workload and the folly wreaked by the intoxicated skipper, Matthew is forced to jump ship at Grimsby. He is rescued and escapes across the Humber to Spurn, where he finds a strange and turbulent community that gives sanctuary to men on the run from Mundol's corrupt practices. Struggling against a sense that he is cursed, Matthew cannot help being moved by the tale of a family tragedy related by Nathan Anstey, the group's embittered leader, and by the dreams of liberty Nathan's beautiful sister Elizabeth invests in the branches of the 'Freedom Tree.' Finding courage in love, Matthew becomes a source of hope for the community, transforming dreams of revenge into a desperate search for freedom.. Book. Book Condition: Fine. Binding: Original Wraps.

Imprint: White Star, 2007 In this diary, engineer and explorer of Egyptian antiquities Giovanni Battista Belzoni (1778-1823), recounts a life story as entertaining as the best fiction. Beginning with his childhood in Padua where he was one of 13 children, moving on to his early adulthood in England where he was a member of a circus troupe, and, finally, his later years spent searching for antiquities in Egypt in an era when the desert sands concealed boundless treasures, Belzoni's diary chronicles an extraordinary life. His discoveries, including the temple at Abu Simbel, the pyramid of Khafre, and the tomb of Seti I, made a fundamental contribution to our knowledge of ancient Egypt, yet Belzoni has remained obscure-until now. His journal gives readers fresh insight into an exciting time in the history of archaeology and into the career of one of the pioneers of Egyptology, later praised by Howard Carter as"one of the most remarkable men in the entire history of Archaeology" 494p.+ Colour plates.
