Lithographed folding map 76 x 101 cm printed in blue and red inset map of Theatre Land bottom right minor wear blank verso; folding into blue printed paper wrappers somewhat worn and dusty old ownership signature. The Daily Telegraph was one of a number of newspapers to sponsor Underground maps: a series issued by the Evening News published in various editions c. 1907-1910 predated the earliest official UERL common design maps and may even have spurred the UERL into action. The Telegraph map is uncommon and this may be due to the success of the official maps by this time as by 1919 they were widely available at stations and in guidebooks and they were free.

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.

24874No place or date but circa 1971. An interesting document on the South African situation at the beginning of the 1970s written in support of apartheid by a leading British journalist. See Coote’s entry in the Oxford DNB. From the papers of Philip Dosse who was proprietor of Hansom Books publisher of a stable of seven arts magazines including Books and Bookmen and Plays and Players. See ‘Death of a Bookman’ by the novelist Sally Emerson editor of ‘Books and Bookmen’ at the time of Dosse’s suicide in Standpoint magazine October 2018. There is no indication where if anywhere the present item was published. Coote explains the context at the very beginning: ‘Early last year I visited two samples of the controversial Republic of South Africa - the Cape Province which is the oldest region settled by Europeans and the Transkei which is the most advanced of the Bantustans. I had a suspicion that the growls and oaths with which the policy of apartheid is normally bombarded by critics from outside might not be wholly deserved. . My conclusions from examining this corner of the vast territory of South Africa were that nobody could really define an alternative to the principle of apartheid in the unique conditions prevailing in South Africa; . I was therefore glad to be able to check up during the first two months of 1971 these provisional conclusions. There were two main criteria. One was what were the conditions in other parts of the country - the Transvaal the Orange Free State Natal and South-West Africa. The other was the effect of a number of highly important happenings during the preceding year.’ A total of 19pp 4to in five sections: ONE: ‘South Africa Revisited’. Numbered in autograph ‘I’. 4pp 4to. TWO: ‘South Africa’s Economic Problems’. Numbered in autograph ‘II’. 4pp 4to. THREE: ‘III South Africa’s Economy’. 3pp 4to. FOUR: ‘II Nibbles at Apartheid’. 4pp 4to. FIVE: ‘White Man’s Burdens’. Numbered in autograph ‘III’. 4pp 4to. Each page on a separate leaf and the whole held together with paper clips together with a slip of paper with ‘Sir Colin Coote’ on it. There manuscript additions in the margins of the first two sections and minor emendations to them and the last section. On the reverse of the last leaf of all is the deleted autograph passage: ‘I wonder if the Archbishop ever peceived that there are two Commandments in the South African politics. The first is “Thou shald not sabotage European supremacyâ€. The second equally a Divine injunction is “Thou shalt not neglect non-Europeansâ€.’ In good condition lightly aged and worn with slight rusting from paperclips. No place or date, but circa 1971. unknown

19009720London c. 1900. Second Anglo-Boer War souvenir handkerchief 45 x 45 cm printed in blue ink on fine linen a couple of trivial spots blank verso. Set in the borders of a map showing the contested regions of South Africa chiefly Orange Free State and Transvaal is the text of Rudyard Kipling's poem 'The Absent-Minded Beggar' with the music of Arthur Sullivan. The map is further adorned with portraits of Queen Victoria and Field Marshal Lord Roberts who was commander of British forces in the field between December 1899 and December 1900. It was published by the Daily Mail then a relatively new but highly successful British newspaper: established in 1896 its circulation had soared to over a million - the largest in the world - by the war's end in 1902. Kipling presented his poem to the Mail which established a charitable fund soon known as the Absent Minded Beggar Fund to provide comforts for British troops on campaign and support for their families at home. Sullivan was prevailed upon to set it to music and it was first sung in public in November 1899. It caught the public mood and was reproduced in many forms. The handkerchiefs were in circulation by March 1900. Local newspapers carry advertisements from wholesalers and retailers around the country all promising to donate a portion of the profits to the fund. Advertising in the Bradford Daily Telegraph 8 March 1900 one vendor described them as the latest novelty a work of art further suggesting that they could make a useful present everybody pleased with them. An Exeter draper excitedly advertised another delivery in the March 28 issue of the Western Echo. They seem to have sold for between twopence and threepence each. Map unknown
