Page dimensions: 213mm x 136mm. Notable in this volume is an early periodical issue of "Narrative of a Journey through part of the North Island of New Zealand" by David Rough here printed anonymously. This account of travel in New Zealand was first published in the periodical "The New Zealander" then here in "Home Friend" before being separately issued in book form later in the year 1852 by the SPCK in an edition with a frontispiece a plate and a map of "New Ulster or North Island". This Home Friend issue is in two installments in Vol. 1 Nos. 9 and 10 of the Home Friend. This "Home Friend" edition does not have a map but has 2 wood-engraved illustrations both differing to the frontispiece in the scarce separately issued edition. The two illustrations in this edition are titled "Group of Natives in New Zealand" and "Portrait of a New Zealand Chief." The text appears to be the same as in the separately issued book edition except that the book edition begins with "MY DEAR ____ According to my promise" while this "Home Friend" text begins with "According to my promise". "The New Zealander is not less hospitable than the Indian chief but he has very different ideas as to what constitutes comfort. During our whole journey we were never refused a share of such food and shelter as the natives have for themselves; and though we sometimes passed the night in one hut with the men and women - grandfathers grandmothers children dogs and pigs - the best corner was cheerfully given up to the 'pakeha' stranger and even there lying altogether round the fire in the middle of the hut and listening to their remarks and jokes we were well amused with the study of human nature which the habits of these children of nature afforded us." - page 211. "At sunset we entered an extensive valley bounded on one side by a range of steep hills burning in many places. The natives chose the immediate vicinity of some boiling mud holes as the best place for encamping; we yielded unwillingly to their anxiety for a warm berth though the ground on which our tent was pitched seemed to be a mere crust of earth over an incandescent substratum. Before we had finished supper it became so hot that we could not sit upon it and made a hasty retreat to another position." - page 226. Reference: c.f.

Philadelphia merchants are ordering their goods from manufacturers in Europe. But then these same manufacturers import these same goods to their own agents in America happily undercutting their own customers:</p> <p>"“By this means the demand upon which you depended for vending your goods is otherwise supplied and you under the ruinous necessity of keeping or of selling them under their prime cost. This practice must have operated very generally upon you and is so evidently injurious that it requires no comment. It is therefore to be wished that you would soon meet to adopt some Plan for remedying the great and growing Evil.†A future issue notes of a meeting at City Tavern on December 11th."</p> <p>Signatories “mutually associate†and agree to discontinue commissions to those agents. Many of the signers are listed in Clement Biddle’s The Philadelphia Directory of 1791 as merchants though a few are listed by their trade such as porter cordwainer and in the case of Godfrey Baker & Co. as “stationers and book binders.â€</p> <p>Less than two months after this declaration Congress chartered the First Bank of the United States to enable Treasury Secretary Alexander Hamilton’s plan to create the necessary financial infrastructure to promote domestic and international trade and commerce. The Philadelphia merchants and importers seen here are banding together to protect their economic interests.</p> unknown

Meaning that completing this collection might still be very difficult but certainly not impossible. The vast majority of the collection is in near fine to fine condition. The Limited Editions Club LEC was founded in 1929 by George Macy to publish high-quality illustrated books for a membership of 1500. The club successfully produced 12 books annually under George Macy and his wife Helen until 1971. However from 1971 to 1978 the LEC faced financial challenges and underwent five ownership changes losing the Heritage Press which had published trade editions of their books. Despite these challenges the LEC continued to produce beautiful books. The Limited Editions Club unknown

24038various: various 1970. Three Ring Binder. Good. We offer a large archive of fireworks labels dating to the 1970s including 175 labels collected from various manufacturers and countries mostly India and China but with a few from Japan and even America. The archive is contained in two binders labeled “FIREWORKS LABELS ALBUM NO. 3†containing 82 labels mostly of Indian origin and “FIREWORKS LABELS ALBUM NO 4.†99 labels mostly of Chinese/Macau origin with a few from Japan and America.<br /> <br /> This archive was collected in the 1970s presumably by someone in the fireworks business and placed in old photograph albums with the “magnetic glue†format which has transferred to the backs of many of the labels. In some cases lines are visible on the front of the labels. We've left the labels in the albums as is partly because there are some penciled notes on some pages indicating a date or in album 4 “PGII CONV†presumably for the Pyrotechnics Guide annual conventions. They are easily removable but we feel the choice of what storage to transfer them to is best left to the next owner.<br /> <br /> Label artwork ranges from very ornate to very plain. Names are as varied as the marketers could make them – and the graphics vary from beautiful girls as often on the Indian labels to “American themes†reflecting the marketing target. The names are as creative as the images and evoke their use: “Mines†“Aerial Colored Flares†“Flower pots†“Flash Ray Gun†“Crackers†“Square Bombs†“V-2 Rocket “Neptune Rocket†“Cable Car†“Electric Sparklers†“Flaming Torches†etc. Three Ring Binder. These labels represent a wonderful piece of American Cultural History and conjure images of kids with family bright smiles and loud booms on the 4th of July a uniquely American phenomena. The fact that someone collected these is a boon. By definition after the BOOM the rest of the packaging isn't very useful to most. And some of the labels in Album #4 show the results of use with occasional charring. Checking various online auction sites we find labels selling from a few dollars for modern labels to many hundreds for earlier ones. A more detailed listing is available upon request to interested purchasers. <br /> <br /> A highly visual collection this archive would provide a nice basis for a larger collection in the area. various unknown
