Photographs measuring 2-3/4 x 3-3/4 in. some a little faded. Manuscript captions in white ink in an album with 12 leaves. 1 vols. 8vo. RARE PHOTOGRAPHS OF NORTH CHINA. An excellent group of images documenting a tour though the little known and rarely photographed mining districts of northern China. The photographer was likely attached to the Anglo-French Quicksilver and Mining Concession which had claims in the Guizhou province. Among the photographs is an image of Henry Brelich who was the chief engineer of the Concession.<br/><br/>Commencing at Kainsk the photographer travelled on the Trans-Siberian Railway to Lake Baikal Harbin then via Mukden to the coal mining towns of Fushun the coal capital Kang-shan and Tung-Hwa. There are shots of mines at Ta-miao-erh-kou Tung-hua Ta-maio-kou and Fushun as well as "Korean Miners at Chi-tao-kou" "Ta-miao-erh-kou Placer Washing Gold" and "Ssu-tao-chiang coal pits"<br/><br/>There are shots of the expedition in action: "Crossing the Hun - tributary of the Yalu" "The Expedition en route outside Mukden." "An accident en route" a group shot of the servants. Then some images of local interest such as street scenes at Mukden and Tung-hwa the "Shrine outside Ling-kai" "Inn at Kwei-tai-mao-tze" a Manchurian farm. Other images include the floating dock at Lake Baikal views of the Hun Valley the Kao-li-mutze-ling pass and the Loh chuen valley.<br/><br/>The group provides a fascinating insight into this remote part of China at the beginning of the twentieth century. The Anglo-Chinese Treaty of 1902 paved the way for English developers as it included a revision of existing mining regulations. However the new regulations which didn't come into effect until the end of 1907 were such that it proved nearly impossible for any foreign firm to gain a foothold making this expedition one of the very few to gain a concession. unknown books

16901747London: : Randal Taylor 1690. Although the Popish Plot was ten years gone by the time this polemic was published anti-Catholic feeling still ran high. This pamphlet purports to show all of the ways that Papists had attempted to undermine the Church of England since the Reformation. As such this is almost a literature review of the previous hundred years summarising Bishop Burnett Stillingfleet and others whilst quoting from Parliament and Catholic peers. It is followed by A LETTER OF THE MINISTERS Of the CITY of LONDON Presented the First of January 1645. to the Reverend Assembly of Divines sitting at Westminster by Authority of Parliament against TOLERATION. This pamphlet has been abstracted from a collection and so appears as a disbound item - with the binding marks and stab marks to the spine. No wrapper or cover now held in a protective sleeve. The top edge of the first couple of pages is beginning to come away - although the binding is still holding securely. A touch of darkening to the front and rear pages less so inside. There are pencil ticks throughout the work in the margins. Wing B 4382. 4 67 1 pp. Randal Taylor, unknown
