185934522n.p. n.d. but Japan 1859. An interesting and instructive look at how the Japanese learned English in the generation following Admiral Perry's opening of Japan. 2 volumes in 1 oblong fukurotoji 5.5" x 8" approx. 198 french-fold pages sewn in the Japanese manner in contemporary and almost certainly original brown paper wrappers; minor working and wear but in all a very good and striking example of a Japanese student's workbook for the attainment of English. The book has apparently been copied from American primers published by A. S. Barnes in New York in 1857 and Sargent's School Primer Boston 1859; both contain a variety of reading and spelling lessons "especially adapted to the capacity and taste of young children. It is hoped that it will proved sic valuable introduction to the national series of school readers prepared by Richard G. Parker." Both Parker's and Sargent's primers were available in bi-lingual editions in the Japanese market. Might this be the manuscript from which a printer might have used to publish the Japanese editions Throughout the English text which has been carefully written in ink is often translated interlinearly in red ink with Japanese characters creating an attractive visual appearance on the page. Included are 3 pages of alphabets simple sentences often in rhyme "A cart for me / to ride and see / A ship at sea / with you and me." <br/><br/> unknown books

15986SUFFRAGETTE MEETING. ADVERTISEMENT FOR THE WSPU MEETING at the Royal Albert Hall 29 April 1909 in ALHAMBRA THEATRE PROGRAMME. Easter Programme commencing Monday April 12th 1909. London 1909. Tall 8vo 260 x I20mm; pp. 8; text within architectural blue border; some light foxing; stapled as issued in the original decorative card wrappers lower portion of rear cover with perforations designed as a postcard to be removed and sent; staples a little rusty rear cover a little scuffed with loss of paper spine a little rubbed and<br/>vertical perforation on rear cover partially torn; an appeahng example. An appealing ephemeral survivor providing not only a wonderful insight into early 20th century variety theatre<br/>in London but of particular interest for the small advertisement found on p. 3 for a forthcoming meeting of the National Women's Social and Political Union one of a number held at the time during what was an intense period of activity by the Suffrage movement. 'A public meeting of women will be held in the Royal Albert Hall on Thursday April 29th at 8 p.m. Chair - Mrs Pethick Lawrence. Speakers Mrs Pankhurst Miss Christabel Pankhurst and others . special presentation to women who have suffered imprisonment for Women Suffrage . Men not admitted except to stalls and boxes'.<br/><br/>Mrs Pethick Lawrence had been released from Holloway on April 16 one of six terms of imprisonment that she served for her political activities having then been greeted by a carriage procession to the Criterion Restaurant for breakfast where 500 members of the WSPU were assembled. She had served two months in Holloway for her part in the February 24th meeting at Caxton Hall followed by attempts by members who had volunteered for "danger duty" to break police cordons and force an entry into the House of Commons to speak to the Prime Minister there was another attempt on March 30th. On April 17th the WPSU held a procession headed by a lady dressed as Joan of Arc from Marble Arch to the Aldwych Theatre for a rally. Further meetings were held on April 26th Queen's Hall the 29th this advertisement and on May 3rd Scala. The International Conference also referred to in the advertisement was held at St James Hall on April 30th. Delegates of the International Conference of Women Suffragists had accepted an invitation by the WSPU to be present at the meeting in order to 'hear an explanation of the militant policy from the leaders of the Union' Common Cause April 15th 1909 p.12. Clearly there were divisions amongst the various suffragette movements and in the end no member from the WSPU went as a delegate to the April 30th meeting - the international body's disapproval of the WSPU's militant stance evidently not having been resolved. unknown books
