Grammaire Tagalog

A handwritten manuscript of the _Grammaire Tagalog_ by Aristide Marre with a _Vocabulaire tagalog-francais-anglais_ by Aristide Marre and Isabelle Pinches. With these are the original housing envelope, two explanatory labels and a letter to request the publication of these works.

Eugène Aristide Marre was a French linguist who published several works. His _Grammaire Tagalog_ was published by Bijdnagem in The Hague in 1901 in French.

Isabelle Pinches was the daughter of Auguste Bertin de Veaux, a French general and politician. She married Theophilus Goldridge Pinches, Assistant in the Department of Egyptian and Assyrian Antiquities, British Museum, from 1878 to 1900, and thereafter Lecturer in Assyrian at University College, London.

The Royal Asiatic Society of Great Britain and Ireland was founded by the eminent Sanskrit scholar Sir Henry Thomas Colebrooke on the 15th March 1823. It received its Royal Charter from King George IV on the 11th August 1824 'for the investigation of subjects connected with and for the encouragement of science, literature and the arts in relation to Asia'. It continues as a forum for those who are interested in the languages, cultures and history of Asia to meet and exchange ideas.

The Papers were arranged into files of individual items.
