Hi. How can one verify the one book ref cited here? Is this really a book? Ive nevber heard this title and the author's name also seems 'adapted' from Hugh Rose the British colonial officer from India. I cant trace this book or author on the Net anywhere???

The book exists - see
COPAC- and in fact it's mentioned at the article on
Hugh James Rose! And I suppose that as he's been dead >75 years, his work is out of copyright so it doesn't matter, legally, if this article is lifted straight from his text (it certainly reads as if it could well have been written a couple of centuries ago). And please remember to sign your posts - just type ~~~~ or use the "Signature" button on the toolbar. Thanks.

And in fact it's all there on Google Books, such that we can see that the entire text is indeed lifted from there (with a few mistakes, eg "M D Guignes" for "M. de Guignes", quite different and identifiable as
Joseph de Guignes (his article shows that he wrote that book). And I only came here to stub-sort it in the first place!
