WILLIAMS, Captain John. An Historical Account of the Rise and Progress of the Bengal Native Infantry, from its first formation in 1757 to 1796. London: John Murray 1817. 8° (226 x 131mm). 4 hand-coloured aquatints of native regimental uniforms. (Light offsetting.) Uncut in original boards (spine restored, preserving original paper label, extremities rubbed, new endpapers). The author of this scarce regimental history is described in the dedication as 'an old and zealous soldier of the East India Company's Service.' Publication was evidently posthumous, 'a brother officer of the same Service' having completed the work and brought it up to the year 1814. The four plates show a Suadar, Grenadier Sepoy, Hawuldar, and Light Infantry Sepoy, all of the 1st Battalion. Ogilby 971.
