WORKS

SMITH, ELDER, AND CO.
Views in India.
SCENERY, COSTUMES, and ARCHITECTURE, chiefly on the Western Side of
India. By CAPTAIN ROBERT MELVILLE GRINDLAY, of the East India Company’s
Army, Member of the Royal Asiatic Society, and of the Society of Arts,
&c.
Publishing in Parts, each containing Six Plates, with descriptive
letter-press. Atlas 4to. price £2: 2_s._
From the extreme delicacy of the aquatint Engravings of this Work, a
limited number of Impressions only can be taken from them.
“This is a work, which bids fair not merely to establish the fame
of Capt. Grindlay, but to do honour to the British arts; and if it
meets with but small encouragement, we shall think it disreputable
to the public taste, the improvement of which has, tardily, become
an object of some solicitude to the state.”--_Asiatic Journal._
“In our number for June last, we introduced to our readers, by
a brief notice, the first part of the beautiful Work issued to
the world under the above title. In the design and execution of
that, we perceived sufficient excellence to justify our predicting
its complete success: and we are gratified to find, that high
as our expectations of general approbation for this undertaking
undoubtedly were, they have been realized to their utmost
extent.”--_Oriental Herald._
“The fidelity of the representations, in the portion now under our
eye, is very striking; and all the plates are most acceptable,
as illustrating an extremely interesting and important country,
hitherto little known either by literary or graphic means. The
variety of these views, and the handsome style in which they
are executed, will, together with the appropriate literary
descriptions, recommend this publication not only to persons
connected with India, but to the British public generally, and
collectors in the arts.”--_Literary Gazette._
Demy 8vo. price 8_s._ boards.
The ADVENTURES of NAUFRAGUS, written by himself; giving a faithful
Account of his Voyages, Shipwreck, and Travels, from his first outset
as a Midshipman in the E. I. Company’s Service, till he became a
Commander in the Indian Seas: including a general description of India,
of the Hindoo superstitious Idolatry and Sacrifices, of the _Suttee_,
or Immolation of Hindoo Widows, &c. &c.
“The Author, so far as we can collect from his Book, appears to
be endowed with a highly sensitive temperament, and with talents
of no mean order. We have been pleased with the style of his
narrative, for its natural fluency and grace, warmed as it is
throughout with a spirit of romance, which makes its way readily
to the Heart.”--_Monthly Review, July, 1827._
Views of Calcutta.
A SERIES of Twenty-four interesting VIEWS of CALCUTTA and its ENVIRONS,
after correct and beautifully finished Drawings, executed from Sketches
taken on the spot, by JAMES BAILLIE FRASER, Esq., Author of ‘A Journey
into Khorasan,’ ‘Views in the Himala Mountains,’ &c. &c.
Price of the Series, neatly half-bound, with engraved Frontispiece,
£16: 16_s._, single Plates, 14_s._
Subscribers to the First Part of the Series may have their sets
completed at 40_s._ each Number, on application to the Publishers.
Elgin Cathedral.
A SERIES of FIVE VIEWS of the VENERABLE and MAGNIFICENT RUINS of this
justly celebrated CATHEDRAL, from accurate Drawings taken by Mr.
WILLIAM CLARK, an Artist, resident at Elgin.
This most splendid Edifice, which has for Centuries past called
forth the admiration of the Artist, the Antiquary, and the
Connoisseur, is too well known to require any eulogium; and the
interesting Views now offered to the public, comprehend every
Arch and object worthy of notice in the whole of its extensive
range. The Engravings are executed in the most _finished style of
Aquatinta_, and printed in the Bistre Tint, in imitation of the
Original Drawings.
To render them still more interesting and complete, they are
accompanied by a most accurate and neatly engraved Ground Plan
of the Cathedral, exhibiting the whole Range of its Foundations,
taken expressly for the Work, by Mr. ROBERTSON, Architect.
Price Two Guineas and a Half, in a Cover, with a Descriptive and
Historical Account of the Cathedral, from its erection in 1224. A
very limited number of Proofs have been taken off on India paper,
price Four Guineas.
Speedily will be published, as a companion to COLERIDGE’s “Six
Months in the West Indies,” and uniformly printed with that
deservedly popular work, a volume, entitled,
SKETCHES and RECOLLECTIONS of the WEST INDIES; with Notices of the
Customs and Manners of the Inhabitants, State of the Slave Population,
&c.; and embracing an account of the Attack on Dominica by the French
Squadron from Rochefort, in 1805.
BY A RESIDENT.
Drawn from actual and long continued observation, this work will be
found to contain the most complete view that has yet appeared of every
thing connected with our West Indian Colonies.
Transcriber’s Note
Every effort has been made to replicate the text as faithfully as
possible. However, obvious typographical errors were repaired, as
listed below. Other apparent archaic spellings, inconsistencies or
errors have been retained. Although inconsistencies with hyphens have
been retained, other obvious punctuation and spacing errors have been
repaired. If there has been doubt as to whether a word originally
hyphenated over the line should retain that hyphenation, it has been
retained.
Use of the word “volume” in reference to citations has been made
consistent.
Often in the text, possessive pronouns appear with an apostrophe. This
convention has been retained.
oe ligatures have been expanded.
Occurrences of superscript have been delineated by a carat symbol (y^e)
or a carat symbol combined with curly braces (w^{th}). Occurrences of
subscript have been delineated by an underscore symbol combined with
curly braces (_{T.A.})
In the original text, captions for the illustrations are contained
within the body of the text, identified by use of small capitals.
Often, illustrations interrupt paragraphs. Both of these conventions
have been retained in this e-text, although small capitals have been
converted to all capitals.
Headings of balance sheets have been streamlined for online viewing.
