REID, A. Scott. Chin-Lushai Land. Including a Description of the various Expeditions into the Chin-Lushai Hills and the final Annexation of the Country. Calcutta: Thacker, Spink and Co. 1893.

8vo. Original illustrated cloth, the superior binding variant with the cover illustration in gold and not black; pp. x, [2], 235, 48 (publisher's catalogue), three folding maps (one large and in rear pocket, 8 photogravure plates; minimal marking to binding, top of spine a little tender, initially very light spotting; a very attractive copy.

Scarce first edition, presentation copy, inscribed by the author on half-title. The author, Surg.-Lieut-Col. A. Scott Reid, was the Medical Officer in charge of the 2nd Battalion of the 4th Gurkha Rifles. 'The Lushai Hills and the surrounding areas inhabited by the Chin or Kuki peoples are now split between modern India (Lushai), Bangladesh and Myanmar but in the late nineteenth century were not part of any state. British interests in these zones however led to punitive expeditions being sent against the Chin and the Lushai peoples at the end of 1889' (Fitzwilliam Museum, online). This mountain and jungle warfare took place in a vast region, totally unexplored by Westerners.

Sturdy umbrella base
It’s really nice and sturdy umbrella base with wheels. The wheels make it easier to move wherever you want. Very easy to set up.

Exactly what I was looking for
These are exactly what I needed. I like the fact that you fill them with water so at the end of the season, I just emptied them and take them to my shed for storage. I also like that they have wheels on the bottom that rolls my umbrella around anywhere. They’re well with the money.

Makes moving your umbrella around a breeze.
Size: 100LBS
This is best idea in umbrella stands. Decent price. I love that the water intake/release is on the side. Many are on top of the stand. Doesn't leak. Easy to move around and easy to put together with the included tools. I have 2. One for a very heavy 10 x 6' umbrella, and the other for a very light 1/2 round umbrella. Works equally well for both. One tricky part the instructions don't include is that is parts F and J are 'in place' in the base and you need to remove them to re attach them to the cylinder, or what they refer to as the "stand pole". So, if you are looking for parts (and I did this twice), just remember you will find them on the underside of large plastic umbrella base. Both are black, and so not immediately apparent. Love that there are two locking wheels and they include an extra screw. IKEA could learn a few things here.
