II-1874 -- Part III-1874 edited by the Honorary Secretaries. Original illustrated printed wrappers. Complete vol. 43 of the Journal of the Asiatic Society of Bengal (JASB), "history and antiquities" section. Generally devoted to the Bengal region, which was under Muslim rule for much of the Middle Ages and Early Modern period, the Journal also published articles of Middle Eastern interest. The present set includes the "Annals of ́Omán, from early times to the year 1728 A.D. From an Arabic MS. by Sheykh Sirhán bin Sáíd bin Sirhán bin Muhammad, of the Benú ́Ali tribe of ́Omán, translated and annotated, by E. C. Ross, Political Agent at Muscat" (pp. 111-196). This chronicle, taken from the larger "Keshf-ul-Ghummeh" ("Dispeller of Grief"), forms "the most authentic and coherent account of the history of ́Omán that has emanated from native sources" (p. 112). Of similar interest is a contribution by J. O'Kinealy, the "Translation of an Arabic Pamphlet on the History and Doctrines of the Wahhábís, written by `Abdullah, grandson of `Abdul Wahháb, the founder of Wahhábism" (pp. 68-82). This pamphlet contains "a complete description of the taking of Makkah, and shews that the Wahhábís [...] entered the holy city not as warriors, but as pilgrims" (p. 68). - Spine defects; otherwise fine.
