"This important work long out of print has two important and invaluable assets: It delves beyond the books on heraldry giving 'original evidences derived from representations of arms which exist in rolls of arms in windows or in carvings. Secondly its information is not limited to England or Scotland but is liberal in heraldic instances taken throughout Europe. There is no other publication at present in English which gives such detail on Continental heraldry.'

"Observing the grim results of industrial capitalism in Canada and Britain Woodsworth concluded that his church's stress upon personal salvation was wrong. Moving from middle-class pulpits to a city mission All People's Winnipeg he worked with immigrant slum dwellers 1904-13. By 1914 he had become a controversial supporter of trade-union collective bargaining and an ardent democratic socialist - on Fabian and British Labour Party lines. He was also adamantly pacifist seeing war as a product of capitalist and imperial competition and he was fired from a governmental social-research position in 1917 for openly opposing conscription." - Canadian Encyclopedia. Despite his then-progressive stance through a 21st century lens the ideas and terminology herein are difficult to read; as such this is an important neglected piece of Canadian history.

187898735Adelaide: George Robertson 1878. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good. Adelaide George Robertson 1878. Small quarto iv 138 pages. Original green cloth lettered and decorated in gilt on the front cover and spine and ruled in blind front and rear; cloth moderately flecked; an excellent copy internally fine. Printed and bound in Melbourne with the binder's label of George Robertson on the rear pastedown. Mrs John Crawford Woods was the wife of the first minister 1855-1889 of the Unitarian Christian Church in South Australia. This book 'was published in Adelaide at a time when novels of primitive Christianity were in vogue in Britain' and according to Paul Depasquale in 'A Critical History of South Australian Literature 1836-1930' enabled Mrs Woods to more than satisfy George Eliot's dictum about female authors: 'The inability of a lady novelist to describe actual life and her fellow men is in inverse proportion to her confident eloquence about God and the other world and the means by which she usually chooses to conduct you to true ideas of the invisible is a totally false picture of the visible'.
