18450002116London England. Good. 1845. On offer is a sensational original manuscript relic of Victorian times being the 1845 - 1855 handwritten diary and journal of a British officer as he settles in to retirement in London something he has wished for and who details his life and times with family and friends in great detail. Lt. Col H. Mitchell as stated on a front cover sticker 'Diary of Lt. Col. H. Mitchell 1845-1855' appears to be an old India hand keeping up with the gossip writing letters to Government meeting boats with friends and acquaintances returning from India. This intelligent and observant man a Senior Officer with a hint of the rogue allows the reader to see the elements of his life: family politics friends relations all the while there is a back drop of tensions; from the first pages about finances gone wrong especially with the Bank of Australia and how the impact of world politics would also affect his pocket book and also his seemingly unending interest in India. He also copies some verse and there is a most interesting letter copy to the Earl of Ripond regarding India. Here are some snippets: "Jan 1846 How little I have written in 1845! It has not been a fertile year of events it is true beyond the birth of our daughter. The one we are entering upon with I fear be more eventful for it can hardly fail deeply to affect my money affairs either for good or for ill. I find my incomes amount to 1200 pounds; were misfortunes to befall them I may be reduced to 500 pounds! Were the bank of Australia to recover its prosperity .and should we be forced into a war with America and it seems difficult to see how the Oregon question can be settled without war so overbearing are the pretensions and the conduct of the Americans my income may be reduced to less than 500 pounds without the house!" He notes in one of the last entries how the Queen saw fit to raise his rank to Colonel and while mostly ceremonial he was quite pleased.

19280011168Michigan Quebec Onboard A Ship Europe. Good with no dust jacket. 1928. Hardcover. On offer is a very interesting travel diary dating from the later 1920s detailing a trip to Europe. This travel diary was kept in 1928 by Helen T. Mitchell later Maruska 1904-1972. Helen was born to parents Charles and Katherine in Bay City Michigan. She worked as a school teacher. Helen married Robert P. Maruska 1893-1968 an accountant on November 26 1936. Shortly after marrying the couple moved to Chicago where they lived and worked until Roberts death in 1968. They had no children. On June 20th 1928 Mitchell and some friends embarked on a cruise to Europe. The trip in many ways was like a Grand Tour as it took them through major cities and they had the opportunity to see and experience many of the great sights of the continent. The diary begins with an entry dated June 20th and 21st. Helen leaves her family home in Bay City and travels to Quebec City by rail before boarding the passenger liner RMS Antonio. RMS Antonio was a ship owner by the Cunard Line that sailed the London to Montreal route. During WWII. She served as an armed merchant cruiser and a troop transport. Following the war she was scrapped in 1948.The diary recounts interesting and significant events each day. An excerpt gives the flavour of her entries: . Had fruit brought to our cabin then walked around the decks for a long walk. Much colder. Temperature is 42 degrees! Played bridge had lunch and then wrote letters had tea and then spent the remainder of the afternoon looking at icebergs. They are quite large and shade from white to deep blue.We passed the Strait of Belle Isle about five oclock and then reached the Atlantic Ocean.Everyone is talking about the Titanic disaster. A slight fog has started. The last trip over this boat was stuck because of fog and icebergs for sixteen hours June 24 1928. Landing in Liverpool she and her friends travelled to London: . Passed Rugby saw beautiful country thatch-roofed houses hedges and canals community gardens. Arrived in London at 1 oclock. Went immediately to the Royal Hotel. Next with Buggemans to Hyde Park Mayfair saw Princess Marys home Chesterfield Place. Also Duke of Yorks home July 1 1928. After exploring central London and enjoying shopping she caught a train to Dover and crossed the channel to France. Her travels through Europe took her through Belgium through Germany and down part of the Rhine River. From there she travelled to Switzerland. She comments on famous sights such as Heidelberg Castle and great works of art by artists such as Louis Dumoulin Panorama of the Battle of Waterloo. From Switzerland her journeys take her to Italy and Rome. She makes careful note of the many places visited in Rome an the things she saw such as art and sculpture. From Rome she travelled to Paris via Monte Carlo: Took the Corniche Drive today. Beautiful scenery. Followed the Paillon River up the Esterel mountains through Eze and Turbie very old French cities dating back to 7 B. C. Saw the home of Ibanez at Cap Martin. Had lunch at the Palace Hotel in Monte Carlo July 28 1928. . Had lunch at Maxims for $6. Ham sandwich and chocolate. Went to Elizabeth Arden Cotys Roger & Gallet for perfumes. Window shopped most all day. Had dinner and went to the Folies Bergere. Wonderful revue July 31 1928. On Aug 4th her friends left Paris to return on the RMS Ausonia for their trip home via Montreal. Mitchell went on to return on board RMS Carmania direct to New York City. She returned home to Bay City on Aug 16 1928The diarys Address section contains the names and addresses of over 3 dozen fellow passengers that she met on her trip. Interestingly she recorded daily latitude and longitude of both Atlantic crossings. Other pages provide a detailed currency exchange listing for pounds French Belgian and Swiss francs. There is a list of all the hotels she stayed at and an itemized expense accounting. Also of interest is a large detailed map of the United States Caribbean and Central America showing shipping routes. For a geographer this is an excellent description of the early 20th century American version of the Grand Tour. Her descriptions make no reference to the brutally destructive war that was fought scarcely 10 years earlier so it gives a very good idea of the extent of reconstruction. A social historian or a researcher into Womens Studies would find it a very interesting look into the life of a young educated well-off American woman in the inter-war years. The diary measures about 6.5 inches by 4.25 inches and contains 224 pages. It is divided into 7 sections and is approximately 50% complete. Some sections such as the description of the journey itself are fully complete while others such as Side Trips have only a few entries. The covers are in good condition as are the binding and spine. The pages are in good condition as well and the handwriting is legible.; Manuscripts; 16mo 6" - 7" tall; 224 pages; Signed by Author . hardcover
