Printed on beautifully white laid paper. About WILLIAM SEWEL (from Wikipedia): ******Willem Sewel (also William Sewel), b. 1653 d. 1720, was a Dutch Quaker historian, of English background. Sewel spent 25 years on his major work, The History of the Rise, Increase, and Progress of the Christian People called Quakers. It was first published in Dutch, as Histori van de Opkompste, Aanwas en Voortgang der Christenen bekend by den naam van Quakers, Amsterdam, 1717 (another edition, 1742). The English edition (London, 1722), dedicated to George I, was largely undertaken to correct Historia Quakeriana (Amsterdam, 1695; English translation, London, 1696, by Gerard Croese, to whom Sewel had given letters and narratives from England). Sewel's own work was based on a mass of correspondence, George Fox's Journal, and, for the public history, Lord Clarendon's Rebellion and Edmund Ludlow's Memoirs. It became an authority. Sewel's other works include A Compleat Dictionary of English and Dutch, 2 pts., Amsterdam, 1691; 6th Ed., enlarged by Buys, 1766.****** INTERNATIONAL BUYERS PLEASE NOTE: This book is large and heavy and will require substantial additional shipping charges.

BRAHUI AND DRAVIDIAN COMPARATIVE GRAMMAR, by M. B. EMENEAU (Murray Barnston Emeneau). Publications in Linguistics, Volume 22. Published by the University of California, Berkeley and Los Angeles, 1962. First Edition. Softcovers but lacking its covers / wrappers, 6.75" x 10.25", xi + 91 pages. Condition: Lacking its wrappers, as noted above, otherwise complete. Pages show general signs of handling but are still tight, bright, clean and unmarked. An important study by a renowned Dravidian linguist. About the BRAHUI Language (from Wikipedia): ******Brahui is a Dravidian language spoken by the Brahui people in the central Balochistan region of Pakistan and Afghanistan, and by expatriate Brahui communities in Qatar, United Arab Emirates, Iraq, and Iran. It is isolated from the nearest Dravidian-speaking neighbor population of South India by a distance of more than 930 miles. Kalat and Mastung districts of Balochistan are predominantly Brahui-speaking. Brahui is the only Dravidian language which is not written in a Brahmi-based script; instead, it is written in Arabic script.******
