The Life of Baber, Emperor of Hindostan.

First Edition. Essentially an abridgement of Leyden and Erskine’s translation of Baber’s autobiography with “many geographical descriptions... altered and enlarged with the aid of later authorities.” [Author’s preface.] This copy inscribed by Caldecott on the front free endpaper, “Mrs. J. Watson with the Author’s love, Jan. 1st. 1847.” with his extensive marginal annotations and amplifications throughout.

8vo. Original brown embossed cloth. Lithographed map frontsipiece. Light browning, marginal foxing, front hinge very slightly cracked, but overall a very good copy, the cloth with just the lightest of shelf-wear.
