Description

Rajah Comm. Sourindro Mohun Tagore, and others. Hindu Music from Various Authors. Second edition. Inscribed from the main credited author and compiler, S. M. Tagore to Stewart Culin of New York. Compiled and Published by S. M. Tagore. In two parts. Second edition. Calcutta: Printed by I.C. Bose & Co., Stanhope Press, 1882.

Second edition. Inscribed from the main credited author and compiler, S. M. Tagore to Stewart Culin of New York. Two parts in one octavo volume. 423 pages. Illustrated with examples of music, musicians, musical instruments, etc.

Bound in elaborate paneled binding of red morocco, gilt extra. All edges gilt. Binding is failing and perished, with spine mostly gone and boards detached. Front free endpaper lacking. Altogether, still a good copy. Textblock is clean and bright, and a good candidate for restoration.

An interesting book, and inscribed by the compiler. This is a collection of mostly short articles on the subject, the first of which is more substantial with its own title-page: Captain N. Augustus Willard. A Treatise on the Music of Hindoostan, comprising a detail of The Ancient Theory and Modern Practice.
