Webber, Thomas W. THE FORESTS OF UPPER INDIA and their Inhabitants.		£180
	344pp. Index. 2 folding maps in colour. In the original brown cloth. Webber was employed by the Indian Forest Service shortly after its foundation and worked mainly in Garhwal and Kumaon (under Ramsay), where he built the cart road from Kathgodam to Naini Tal. In 1864 with a party of three other Englishmen and sixty Bhotia porters he crossed the high passes at the head of the Kali River and entered Tibet without authority. They ignored the local authorities and undertook two long hunting trips. The first reached 20,000 feet on Gurla Mandhata which he thought could be climbed without great difficulty (Longstaff in 1905 wrote that 'it had never been visited by European'). They were interested in hunting not climbing. He writes extensively on 'The Scientific Management of Forests' seeking to apply methods learned in Germany to India. Very good. Armorial bookplate and ownership label of Colonel Gibbs, himself a distinguished forester. Pasted to the front endpaper is a cutting of a letter from Webber to 'The Leinster Express' on forest policies. Front hinge slack but a nice copy. 1902 First edition, Arnold.
