iv. The Records of the East India College, Haileybury, and other Institutions. By A. Farrington. London, H.M.S.O., 1976. ?7.50.

This guide is the first of a series which will eventually provide basic finding-aids to the records in all the categories which together com- prise the India Office Records. In general, each guide will be con- cerned with the records of a department of the India Office and will also include those of East India Company or Board of Control offices to which the department succeeded. The present volume deals with four semi-independent institutions in England whose records finally came to the India Office. Three of them were founded for the education of young men about to take up careers in India: the East India College, Haileybury, for civil servants; Addiscombe Military Seminary for officer cadets in the Bengal, Madras and Bombay Armies; and Cooper's Hill Engineering College for engineers in the Indian Public Works De- partment. The fourth, Pembroke House and Ealing Lunatic Asylum, began as a private enterprise, though officially recognized, to care for those who became insane in India.

This group of records is particularly valuable to researchers seek- ing biographical information, but it also reveals a wide range of materials relating to the evolution of the Indian Civil Service, the development of oriental scholarship in Britain, nineteenth-century edu- cational methods, and the history of psychiatric treatments.

v. Persian Paintings in the India Office Library: A Descriptive Catalogue. By Basil Robinson. London, Sotheby Parke Bernet, 1976. ?20.

The collection of Persian miniature paintings in the India Office Library covers the period 1300-1850 and is particularly strong in works of the Safavid school of Shiraz, besides containing a rare Anthology of Divans of A.D. 1314-15 from the Mongol period, and a Khamsa of Jamill illustrated at Baghdad in 1465 under Pir Budaq, an important manuscript for the history of the Turkman style of painting. The catalogue de- scribes more than 1,300 miniatures and drawings with an account of the historical and artistic background of each style. Illustrated with 22 colour and 310 black and white plates it introduces a considerable body of hitherto unknown material.

i. Archive on Arabic Literature

In Oriente Moderno, Vol. 55, Nos. 9-10, 1975, pp. 503-8, A. Borruso and A. De Simone report on a bibliographical file on Arabic literature which has been maintained for the past six years by the Istituto di Studi Orientali of the Facolta di Lettere at Palermo University. In- formation in the fields of poetry, drama and prose (narrative and belletristic) for Arab authors active during the past fifty years has been collected and put on to a card-file. Monographs and articles in both Western languages and Arabic are included, and many journals and collective works have already been indexed.

The cards have been arranged in three sequences: a) The author's works in chronological order. b) Translations and criticism of specific works. c) Literary criticism about the author in general.

It is intended to publish this archive eventually, but at the moment the Institute hopes that it can satisfy scholars' queries by means of photocopies of the relevant cards.

ii. Iranian Corporate Headings

Abazar Sepehri has published Iranian corporate headings with references (1976), as a companion to Mohammed M. Aman's Arab States author head- ings (see this Bulletin, I, ii (1975), p. 107).

i. Archive on Arabic Literature

In Oriente Moderno, Vol. 55, Nos. 9-10, 1975, pp. 503-8, A. Borruso and A. De Simone report on a bibliographical file on Arabic literature which has been maintained for the past six years by the Istituto di Studi Orientali of the Facolta di Lettere at Palermo University. In- formation in the fields of poetry, drama and prose (narrative and belletristic) for Arab authors active during the past fifty years has been collected and put on to a card-file. Monographs and articles in both Western languages and Arabic are included, and many journals and collective works have already been indexed.

The cards have been arranged in three sequences: a) The author's works in chronological order. b) Translations and criticism of specific works. c) Literary criticism about the author in general.

It is intended to publish this archive eventually, but at the moment the Institute hopes that it can satisfy scholars' queries by means of photocopies of the relevant cards.
