42611London : The Daily Mail Ideal Home Exhibition 1950. Oblong quarto full crushed red morocco by Sangorski & Sutcliffe London the panels ruled and lettered in gilt spine in compartments with raised bands ruled in gilt all edges gilt endpapers creased introductory text 35 original photographs mounted on cards with printed captions opposite. Ex-library the University of National Development Library Canberra with library stamps and cancel marks to the front pastedown and the text sheet. In 1950 the Government of New Zealand transported by sea a full domestic house to London for display at The Daily Mail Ideal Home Exhibition to show Londoners what daily life looked like on the other side of the world. This fascinating album documents the exhibition the transportation of the house and its assembly the New Zealand women studying in London who served as hostesses for the visitors and some of the notable signatories who visited the house including Queen Mary Princess Elizabeth later Queen Princess Margaret the Duchess of Kent the Prime Minister of Northern Ireland and others. 'This album is the record of a unique enterprise which has successfully served two purposes. It has placed attractively before a multitude of home-lovers in Britain the products of the great Dominion it represented and it has shown intending immigrants of that Dominion the sort of home life they can look forward to when their turn comes to sally forth. For the first time a complete Dominion home was transported 12000 miles by sea to be set up furnished and provisioned in England so that a great throng of home-lovers might saunter through it and see it in detail as a portrayal of the way of life on that other side of the world' - the introduction. This album is bound and finished to the highest standard by the eminent bookbinders Sangorski & Sutcliffe no doubt for one of the prominent figures involved in the project. Possibly a unique example it entered the University Collection about 1957 the earliest library stamp and was subsequently deaccessioned making its way to a charity book fair in Canberra where we acquired it. hardcover

183236785Washington DC: Gales & Seaton 1832. Newspaper. Good. Newspaper. Approx. 21" x 18." 4 pages. Two folds. Sheets are detached. Newspaper has light toning. Name of R. J. Ingersoll New Haven Con" written top of issue. Possibly the same Ingersoll that served 4 terms in Congress from 1825-1833. <br /> <br /> Entire contents of page 2 concern "The Cherokee Case. Opinion of the Supreme Court delivered by Mr. Chief Justice Marshall January Term 1832. Samuel A. Worcester vs. The State of Georgia." The case is also printed on the first column of page 3. Supreme Court case of Samuel Worcester. From the Brittannica website: <br /> <br /> Worcester v. Georgia involved a group of white Christian missionaries including Samuel A. Worcester who were living in Cherokee territory in Georgia. In addition to their missionary work the men were advising the Cherokee about resisting Georgia's attempts to impose state laws on the Cherokee Nation a self-governing nation whose independence and right to its land had been guaranteed in treaties with the United States government. In an effort to stop the missionaries the state in 1830 passed an act that forbade "white persons" from living on Cherokee lands unless they obtained a license from the governor of Georgia and swore an oath of loyalty to the state. Worcester and the other missionaries had been invited by the Cherokee and were serving as missionaries under the authority of the U.S. federal government. They did not however have a license from Georgia nor did they swear a loyalty oath to that state. Georgia state authorities arrested Worcester and several other missionaries. After they were convicted at trial in 1831 and sentenced to four years of hard labour in prison Worcester appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court.<br /> <br /> Worcester argued that Georgia had no right to extend its laws to Cherokee territory. He contended that the act under which he had been convicted violated the U.S. Constitution which gives to the U.S. Congress the authority to regulate commerce with Native Americans. The Constitution also bars the states from passing laws that alter the obligations of contracts-in this case treaties. Several treaties between the Cherokee and the U.S. government recognized the independence and sovereignty of the Cherokee Nation. Furthermore Worcester argued that the Georgia laws violated an 1802 act of Congress that regulated trade and relations between the United States and the Indian tribes.<br /> <br /> The Supreme Court agreed with Worcester ruling 5 to 1 on March 3 1832 that all the Georgia laws regarding the Cherokee Nation were unconstitutional and thus void. Writing for the court Chief Justice John Marshall held that "the Indian nations had always been considered as distinct independent political communities retaining their original natural rights as the undisputed possessors of the soil." Even though Native Americans were now under the protection of the United States he wrote that "protection does not imply the destruction of the protected." Marshall concluded:<br /> The Cherokee Nation then is a distinct community occupying its own territory.in which the laws of Georgia can have no force and which the citizens of Georgia have no right to enter but with the assent of the Cherokees themselves or in conformity with treaties and with the acts of Congress. The whole intercourse between the United States and this Nation is by our Constitution and laws vested in the Government of the United States.<br /> <br /> Georgia however ignored the decision keeping Worcester and the other missionaries in prison. Eventually they were granted a pardon and were released in 1833. Pres. Andrew Jackson declined to enforce the Supreme Court's decision thus allowing states to enact further legislation damaging to the tribes. The U.S. government began forcing the Cherokee off their land in 1838. In what became known as the Trail of Tears some 15000 Cherokee were driven from their land and were marched westward on a grueling journey that caused the deaths of some 4000 of their people.<br /> <br /> The Supreme Court agreed with Worcester ruling 5 to 1 on March 3 1832 that all the Georgia laws regarding the Cherokee Nation were unconstitutional and thus void.

13915London. May and June 1888. 4pp. foolscap 8vo. Bifolium. In fair condition on aged paper. First page headed: 'The Edgware Road Fire The proprietor of "The Daily Telegraph" have as hitherto on similar occasions opened a Subscription list for the Sufferers and it is estimated that £3000 will be required to meeet the urgent claims for relief which are already too well known I shall be glad to receive any donations you may be pleased to give on their behalf JNER.'. Arranged in eight columns two to a page with running totals and a grand total of £16 1s 0d. The first donation is for 10s 6d from 'Mr. Kynock' and the last for 1s from Mr Catliffe'. Accompanying the list are two newspaper cuttings laid down on one side of a piece of 12mo paper with manuscript heading The Edgware Rd. Fire Fund'. The first cutting records the donation of £20 by 'Fredk. Gorring Buckingham Palace-road' and of £16 1s 0d by 'Employés of Fredk. Gorringe'; the second cutting reproduces a letter from Gorringe reading: 'TO THE EDITOR OF "THE DAILY TELEGRAPH." SIR - I have pleasure in sending a cheque for £20 towards the fund being raised for the assistants who are sufferers by the Edgware-road fire; also one for £16 1s from my employés. - Yours faithfully FREDK. GORRINGE. Buckingham Palace-road June 5.' The fire had occurred on 30 May 1888 with The Times devoting the following day's editorial to it beginning: 'London has been visited by many greater and more destructive fires but by few more tragic and pathetic in their circumstances than that which occurred in the Edgware-road shortly after six o'clock yesterday morning. The large drapery establishment of Messrs. GARROULD occupying the angle formed by the Edgware-road and Queen-street was suddenly attacked by fire and five of the young assistants who slept in the upper floors were burnt to death or suffocated while five more were seriously scorched or injured by jumping from the windows.' The Times drew parallels with another fire eight months before at the Exeter Theatre and concluded that it had 'once more taught Londoners the lesson that they cannot have efficient protection from fire without paying for it'.

23776Anstey's TLS on his Daily Telegraph Magazine letterhead and dated 20 March 1970. Hayden-Guest's article evidently written shortly before that date. A curious artefact indicating Garbo’s iconic status and an early example of a journalistic trend which has gained ground since the late 1960s. Hayden-Guest still active as a writer is the son of the diplomat Peter Haden-Guest 4th Baron Haden-Guest and brother of the 5th Baron Christopher who is won fame as ‘Nigel’ in the film ‘Spinal Tap’. Anstey who edited the Daily Telegraph magazine for twenty-two years from its inception in 1964 has been variously described as ‘the last of the great autocratic magazine editors’ ‘tyrannical’ and ‘completely terrifying’ with a habit of sending his employees ‘alarming memos on the eve of their summer holidays’. He ‘did not often meet his reporters personally instead he wrote notes and invited them once a year to the magazine’s Christmas party’. While grateful for the money John Betjeman found working for the magazine ‘hateful’. Gitta Sereny who contributed extensively to what she considered ‘the best of the weekend colour supplements’ found Anstey ‘difficult’ but ‘extraordinary’. Both are items in fair condition lightly aged and stapled together. ONE: Unsigned Carbon Typescript of article titled ‘GRETA GARBO - a Personal Memoir Anthony Haden-Guest’. 5pp long 8vo. Single-spaced on five leaves. As Item Two makes clear the article is a spoof of the ‘type of article’ which Anstey describes as the ‘anti-profile’: pretentious and implying in conspiratorial tones an implausible familiarity with the subject. It is the sort of writing which Martin Amis would begin by satirizing. The beginning sets the tone: ‘Some people just a few call her ‘Greta’ right to her face That face. Charlie Chaplin does to name but one. All the same most people who are so close that they could call her ‘Greta’ in fact call her ‘G. G.’. Acquaintances But wouldn’t that be enough call her “Miss Garbo†and a very few indulge her own conspiratorial urges and refer to her as “Miss Brownâ€. As indeed she sometimes does herself. I am indebted for this information to the writings of Mr Norman Zierold who does not say what he calls her or what she calls him. / Personally I like to call her simply “Greta Garboâ€.’ Further on comes a passage which like the rest of the article may or may not be a complete fiction: ‘Actually the first time that I was introduced to Greta Garbo was under pretty funny circumstances but Destiny as so many of her great motion pictures have pointed out gets up to some pretty funny things. Certainly it seemed funny to see Garbo at a party especially this sort of party a flourescent celebration of . . . Well not Garbo though she is incontestably the centre of it all. An acid/rock group is pounding nervily away into the statutory light-machine and a film is being projected onto a wall which is white and narrow - so narrow that most of the party is taking place without artistic licence in the movie.’ Towards the end Haden-Guest stretches the bounds of credulity with the following: ‘Great Garbo! Now she is looking at me . . . The ageing roue is nowhere to be seen. Her shoulders are working hugely and her throat and the face . . . planes shift as conflicting emotions do massive internal furniture removals but now Garbo looks so worried and she says it - She actually says it - “I want to be aloneâ€. / Yes she is really saying it and not just once because she repeats it - “I want to be aloneâ€. / Well yes. Great Garbo want to be alone -’. TWO: Typed Letter Signed ‘J A’ from John Anstey 20 March 1970 addressed to ‘Anthony Haden-Guest Esq. C/o Chateau Marmont Los Angeles California U.S.A.’ ‘c. c. Pat Kavanagh’ 1p 8vo. He begins: ‘Dear Anthony I read the Great Garbo article when it first came in. Last night I read it again. It is a difficult one. However I know that you have misgivings about it - and I fear that I have them too.’ Anstey’s opinion is that the piece ‘just does not work at the moment. ‘It does not come across as the sort of “anti-profile†we were thinking about. It starts off by being intriguing. But then one just gets confused and there is a danger of it seeming rather pretentious: which is one of the faults of the type of article which it should be satirizing.’ He suggests that they ‘look at it again’ when Haden-Guest gets back from America. ‘The formula is right at the moment but we must overcome the danger of pretentiousness and it must seem less pointless than it is at the moment. The last paragraph cleverly suggests that there is nothing more to know about Greta Garbo than we learn here: but somehow I think that we have got to say more.’ The letter ends: ‘How is California Can you let me know about the Hollywood idea as soon as possible.’ Not known if published in any form despite Googlebooks.

1909144664Dawson: Dawson Daily News 1909. 72 pp. Folio. 39 X 27.2 cm. Very attractive original printed covers. Very slightly frayed more so on the back cover. Title page somewhat browned but the rest of the text is clean. Dozens of black and white portraits scenery images and a single map. Several sections of Dawson advertising. A very nice example of a fragile and large item. Not in Kurutz but there are two similar items in Kurutz dated 1902 and 1905. Not in Smith Tourville or any other bibliography I consulted. One of the most interesting brochures I have encountered before. The design of the colorful wrappers is brilliant with gold being the theme. There are 20 small vignette images of Klondike themed items. A large White Pass Railway ad and on the front cover a map showing Northern Canada. The first interesting thing when you open to the title page is a Robert Service poem "Written Specially for the Dawson News"! There are over 60 individual articles written on all aspects of life in the North and composed by the who's who of famous people. You certainly get the impression that Dawson was booming 10 years after the Rush. One of the most interesting images is of a map of a 50 mile long Main Line Ditch to provide water for the mines. It must have been an engineering marvel!! Rare and I am surprised Gary never encountered another example. 1909 Dawson Daily News unknown
