The Four Olds are: Old Ideas Old Culture Old Habits and Old Customs as defined by Chairman Mao." . "Four types of molecules are punished for walking the streets." .

Below that is stamped in lower right corner in Chinese Hanzi: "Wei Wen Sho Ce: English translation: "Condolence Manual." While this title is bit 'cryptic' it is actually a kind of "typical New Year Praise Praise Chairman Mao & praise the motherland book." . Below that is "Zahong Guo Ren Mín Jie Fang Jun Fu Chao Wei Wen Tuan Zeng: or "Chinese People's Liberation Army To The DPRK Condolence Mission Gift." . It was issued with blank pages one sepia-toned portrait of Chairman Mao followed by four color photos of Chinese progress color photos. The last page shows a 1954 calendar of 12 months printed in red. . Obviously the previous owner used this old book to record his thoughts comments and points of view from July 1960 1 page see illus01.jpg of Russian language practice this kind of study was also found on other pages in this diary. . Continuing from then July 1964 to 1967 each page is dated with month and day following each year citation. . While we have selected fascinating examples to show the content there remains about 95% of the diary which has not been described or illustrated. It is a wealth of primary source material and fascinating insights to the thought patterns of the Red Guards and their activities throughout the period 1966-1977 including comments on the death of Mao and the shock to the faithful loyal Red Guards. . . . RED AUGUST 1966 MASSACRE BY RED GUARDS . . OF BEIJING EDUCATORS: . There is a calendar page torn from an annual calendar in Chinese showing August 6 1966 gently laid into the diary. This marks the "RED AUGUST." . The original meaning of August 1966 of the Cultural Revolution is also used to indicate a series of massacres in Beijing which mainly took place during the period. . "According to the official statistics in 1980 from August to September in 1966 a total of 1772 people including teachers and principals of many schools were killed in Beijing by Red Guards; in addition 33695 homes were ransacked and 85196 families were forced to leave the city. . The killing by the Red Guards also made an impact on several rural districts of Beijing causing the "Daxing Massacre" for example during which 325 people were killed from August 27 to September 1 in Daxing District of Beijing. . The oldest killed during the Daxing Massacre was 80 years old while the youngest was only 38 days old; 22 families were wiped out. . Scholars have also pointed out that according to the official statistics in 1985 the actual death toll during the Red August was over 10000." See illus15.jpg for a copy of this calendar page printed in green. . The above was extracted from wikipedia-org/wiki/Red_August article. . CONDITION: The diary is written in very clear clean Chinese Hanzi characters in blue fountain pen ink. . The book is firmly bound & solid in the publisher's original black cloth and silver-stamped cover title. There are a couple of old minor but mended worm holes in the first 2-3 pages in the lower gutter else solid firm & issue-free. . The pages are all intact without blemish. There is a minor ink stain to the left edge of one-third of the last pages there are 2 small worm holes in the hinge-gutter of the first five pages near the bottom of the spine inside the first fly leaf. . Otherwise this is an above average and quite excellent example of a genuine period authentic primary resource now seldom found. . RARITY OF ORIGINAL PRIMARY RESOURCES: Original primary resource documents of the Red Guards & Cultural Revolution are RARE and of major research value. Seldom found each is a superb insight to the thoughts actions parades and activities of the Red Guards during the greatest cultural turmoil of the mid-20th century in China. .

English Victorian manuscript diary containing the hunting notes of a Pytchley man Charles W. Prescott 1871; amusing not only to the hunting-world

1870D11031England 1870s. Hardcover. Very Good. England Kent and Norfolk counties: c. 1871-1874. 8vo 175 x 115mm; 61 numbered pages in the hand of Charles W. Prescott detailing his various hunting excursions around the Kent countryside. Prescotts ownership inscription on front free-endpaper is dated 1871. His entries are easily read and cover Prescotts adventures on hunting hares with a skulk of foxes writing Found another in the same field ran her straight back to Old Park round the pond and the pack hunted her beautifully. Dec. 16 1871. The hunts took place over sprawling village and countryside or as he describes hop-gardens hills and ploughs of land in the Herne Bay area of Kent England. Many entries are headed by recognizable locations; Stroud Park Broomfield Hilsborough Wolston Heath and Chislet Mill and are dated with month and sometimes year. Only a portion of the way full his entries span about three years the first dated: Oct. 19 71 Stroud Park and last March 25 1874. Contemporary black morocco marbled endpapers and marbled endpapers with original brass clasp faint splitting at lower hinge of first few leaves strengthened at endpapers corners rubbed otherwise in very good shape especially considering it was wielded around so much of the Kentish countryside. Prescott makes many personal anecdotes about his day noting things in his surroundings like scent moderate or adding his opinions we could not kill I think we should have but the sun was too hot. Prescott often ends the entries with jotting down the days weather as something like very indifferent but as good as could be expected with a very cold east wind or simply stating Frost. It is evident from Prescotts personal asides that he was a vigilant huntsman quite dedicated to the task. Further personal glimpses reveal a record of his horses charming names including Salt Fish and Molly Malone. At the time Prescott was taking these notes Herne Bay area and the Kentish villages would have been teeming with people. The Victoria era was one of prosperity when elite English folk flocked to popular destinations to partake in their favorite pastimes. From 1873 on in the journal Prescott notes he was hunting with Pytchley by writing their name in parentheses. The Pytchley hunt is an organization originally based in Northamptonshire in formation as early at the 1630s. The organization is still active today. Pytchleys website notes that from 1819-1873 right as Prescott began with Pytchley for one year the Althorp and Pytchley countries were hunted by one pack with a second pack established at Brigstock. Prescott was part of the famous hunt organization at a time when it was amid significant change and expansion. His notes may keep further clue of such growth. While the huntsman himself may be unknown to history the anecdotal evidence in Prescotts diary gives us a glimpse of the Victorian man fond of his sport. hardcover

Title translates roughly as â€œChallenge: A Literary Artistic and Critical Bibliographical Journal.â€ At the time the only Yiddish literary periodical in Ukraine. Farmest 1933â€“1937 was a monthly Yiddish literary magazine published in Kharkhiv Ukraine by the Ukrainian Committee for Soviet Writers. â€œEdited by the poet Itsik Fefer 1900â€“1952 it was continued in Sovetishe literatur: Literarish-kinstlerisher un kritish-bibliografisher zhurnal Soviet Literature: Literary-Artistic and Critical-Bibliographical Journal; 1938â€“1941. In 1927 Fefer was a founding member of the Jewish Section of the All-Ukrainian Union of Proletarian Writers and from 1928 one of the editors of its Kharkov-based journal Prolit Proletarian Literature. He also coedited the nonproletarian Kharkov journal Di royte velt The Red World from 1929. From 1933 to 1937 he edited the Kiev periodical Farmest Challenge; known as Sovetishe literatur Soviet Literature between 1938 and 1941 which replaced Prolit and Di royte velt and was thereafter the only Yiddish literary periodical in Ukraine.â€ YIVO. Avrom Gontar was also involved in the collective and editorial committee. The editor Itsik Fefer 1900â€“1952 â€œbegan writing poems in 1918 and in 1922 joined Vidervuks New Growth in Kiev a group of young Yiddish literati whose mentor was Dovid Hofshteyn. That same year the appearance of Feferâ€™s small collection Shpener Splinters established him as a rising literary star. His poetry amalgamated the Kultur-lige poetsâ€™ revolutionary romanticism with the propagandist objectives of the workersâ€™ movement. Fefer was known for his literary credo of proste reyd simple speech a concept he formulated in 1922. In the early 1920s poetry particularly avant-garde poetry swamped the literary pages of Soviet Yiddish periodicals. This phenomenon worried editors and critics who were wary of the fact that Yiddish readers usually could not identify with this style of literature. All Yiddish readers by contrast could understand Feferâ€™s proste reyd. In 1927 Fefer was a founding member of the Jewish Section of the All-Ukrainian Union of Proletarian Writers and from 1928 one of the editors of its Kharkov-based journal Prolit Proletarian Literature. He also coedited the nonproletarian Kharkov journal Di royte velt The Red World from 1929â€ Gennady Estraikh.

From wikipedia: The New England Non-Resistance Society was an American peace group founded at a special peace convention organized by William Lloyd Garrison in Boston in September 1838.1 Leading up to the convention conservative members of the American Anti-Slavery Society and the American Peace Society expressed discomfort with Garrison's philosophy of "non-resistance" and inclusion of women in public political activities. After conservative attendees opposing Garrison walked out of the convention in protest those remaining formed the New England Non-Resistance Society.citation needed The Society condemned the use of force in resisting evil in war for the death penalty or in self-defense renounced allegiance to human government and because of the anti-slavery cause favored non-union with the American South.citation needed The New England Non-Resistance Society was one of the more radical of the many organizations founded by William Lloyd Garrison adopting a Declaration of Sentiments of which he was the principal author pledging themselves to deny the validity of social distinctions based on race nationality or gender"2 refusing obedience to human governments and opposing even individual acts of self-defense.3 In the Society's Declaration of Sentiments Garrison wrote "any person without distinction of sex or color who consents to the principles of this Constitution may become a member and be entitled to speak at its meetings."1 The Society rejected loyalty to any human government; one historian has described the Non-Resistance Society's "basic outlook as that of philosophical anarchism".45.
