8327New York: Sporting Arms and Ammunition Manufacturers' Institute. First Edition. Original wraps. Very Good. 5X7 Inches.20 PP. Archive of EIGHT "Shooting's Fun For Everyone" booklets including the original 1957 first issue. While it may seem unfamiliar to us today the America of the 1950's included gun-wielding children in every state. Children were introduced to guns and gun ownership at a very early age. Most schools including those in New York City had pistol and rifle shooting competitions and clubs in the 1950's. Up until 1969 most New York City High Schools had a shooting club; students competed in shooting competitions and the federal government paid for rifles and ammunition. The New York City schools quietly phased out their shooting programs during the 1970s. These early comic-style brochures were marketed for sale to gun retailers as well as manufacturing companies. They were distributed as part of a national decades long campaign to entice children to gun ownership. <br /> <br /> The first year production run of this booklet contained no blank box on the rear cover for advertisement. This was altered in coming years and many of these booklets located today are from local government offices and gun retailers as well as manufacturers. <br /> <br /> This archive contains:<br /> <br /> 1957 VG example of this first year booklet<br /> 1958 VG / blank back<br /> 1958 VG / Winchester & Western Rifle advertisement<br /> 1958 VG / Deputy Game Protector - Tamaqua PA<br /> 1959 VG / blank back<br /> 1962 GOOD / blank back<br /> 1966 VG / blank back<br /> 1967 VG / blank back.

184776786Ulster: N.p. 1847. Calligraphic and illuminated folded vellum document measuring 20 x 21 inches and with blue double-rule border and four armorial bearings including that of Martin in the upper left corner and the royal arms of Queen Victoria; signed by "W Betham Ulster King of Arms of all Ireland" at lower folded edge; accompanied by Betham's red wax seal in a cylindrical gilt metal skippet with crown relief. Skippet has come free of the ribbon but is present and in good condition. A very good examplar.This somewhat tragic grant of arms was granted to Jone Gonne Bell a cousin of Mary Letitia Martin upon their marriage his his change of name from Bell to Martin. Mary Letitia Martin was an Irish writer who was known as the "Princess of Connemara" as she was borne into the chief landowning family of Connemara the Martins of Ballynahinch Castle. An autodidact she was well read and fluent in numerous languages. She published two books in her lifetime and a third was published posthumously. As we can see she married her cousin in 1847 but when her father died two years later and she inherited the estate she soon found herself penniless due to the great famine. She and Arthur left Ireland for Belgium where she secured a living by writing for periodicals. In 1850 the same year as her autobiographical novel Julia Howard was published they set sail for America. She had her child prematurely on that voyage and ten days after arriving in New York both she and her baby died.Sir William Betham 1779–1853 was an Irish officer of arms an author and a member of the American Antiquarian Society. He served as Ulster King of Arms from 1820 until his death more than thirty years later. N.p. hardcover

53030Roding Essex: Prior c.1860 . 19th Century Victorian Hand Painted & Illuminated Coat of Arms or Armorial Bearings for the Family of Prior 'Malo Mori Quam Foedari' with a Detailed Hand Written History in England & Ireland Both sides Glazed. The picture is in excellent period condition and measures 28 cm by 22 cm Family history records show: Captain Thomas Prior married Hon. Elizabeth Fairfax daughter of Ferdinando Fairfax 2nd Lord Fairfax of Cameron and Lady Mary Sheffield. He died in 1690. He lived at Roding Essex England and then moved to Rathdowney County Laios Ireland. Prior Thomas 1681�1751 founder of the Dublin Society and philanthropist was born in Garrison House Rathdowney Queen's Co. Laois second son among five children of Col. Thomas Prior and his first wife whose name is unknown. According to unverified family history his father secretly married again after the death of his first wife this time to the good-looking daughter of a small farmer; they had two sons. His grandfather Thomas Prior an English captain came to Ireland in 1636 and under the act of settlement obtained 500 acres of land in Rathdowney. After a period of ill health Prior retired to his estate in Rathdowney during the summer of 1751 and he died 21 October 1751 aged 70. He was buried in the Rathdowney churchyard and his tombstone inscribed �Thomas Prior Esq. who spent a long life in unwearied endeavours to promote the welfare of his country� was later relocated inside the adjacent church. His exact place of burial is now unknown. In his will Prior disinherited his estranged two half-brothers and left his estate to his cousin John Murray Prior only son of his aunt Mary. In 1726 Prior�s uncle Richard died at Ely and by his will bequeath to his �loving nephew Thomas Prior� some 40 acres of land in the parish of Leverington in the isles of Ely and a leasehold estate in the town of Cambridge as well as the More-Houses. "Malo mori quam foedari" "I would rather die than be dishonored". ".This drawing of the crest is by T. L. Murray-Prior It appears that T. L. Murray-Prior had tried to find out what the Prior coat of arms were and got it slightly wrong. On 23 November 1885 he wrote about the crest in his Family Bible. Part of what he wrote is hard to read now but appears to describe his crest as he drew it: that the family arms are �Sa. on a bend arm three chevronels gn. between stars of eight point wavy�. Motto: Malo mori quam foedari. Seat: Rathdowney Queens County. This all was part of his determination to assert his family's gentry status and despite the family no longer owning Rathdowney. T. L. Murray-Prior achieved confirmation of his family's gentry status in October 1888 when as described in Burke's entry 'Prior of Netherfield' in his Landed Gentry book T.L. Murray-Prior 'obtained confirmation of Arms from the Ulster King of Arms 1888 - Quarterly 1 and 4 vert on a bend ermine three chevronels gules PRIOR; 2 and 3 per fess gules and or four mullets countercharged MURRAY.'." - See Wikipedia Murray-Prior [ Roding, Essex: Prior (c.1860) ] . unknown

The first article produced on the eve of Indian independence begins: 'Moscow radio broadcast an account of a lecture given by Corresponding Member of the USSR Academy of Sciences Zhukove on "The Situation in India" at the Polytechnical Museum in Moscow.' It proceeds with a summary of Zhukov's lecture the view he expounds including the following: 'Britain's new policy derives from the economic changes which took place in India during the years of the Second World War. India's big bourgeoisie made profits from the war and have become richer and at the same time more compliant towards Britain. The bourgeoisie's fear of the popular masses is greater than their fear of Britain.' The second articles is pure propaganda beginning: 'A vast territory of over 1158000 sq. miles lies in the North-East of the Soviety Union. In Tsarist days it was known as "the Siberia of Siberia." It is now the Yakut Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic - a part of the Russian Federation - which is just celebrating the 25th anniversary of its foundation says a TASS message.'

19484781New York: The Daily Worker 1948. Near fine. 16pp. Illustrated. Original pictorial self wrappers stapled. Mild toning and light wear. A scarce account of the events surrounding the death of William Milton described as "a useful hard-working law-abiding citizen.a devoted husband and loving father.sympathetic to his neighbors' problems.what people call a good man" who was also "a Negro and so marked out for that special torture that American society visits upon men and women who are colored." On July 14 1948 Milton was killed by Brooklyn Patrolman Peter Kilcommons in the hallway of his own building. Milton and three friends ran from police after being thrown out of a Williamsburg bar by a racist bartender named Charles Kennefick who "didn't want Negroes around." Kilcommons chased Milton to his front door then shot him once in the back and twice in the chest in front of about ten witnesses including Milton's wife Irene and their son Eugene Milton. Eugene describes the incident in a heartbreaking passage: "I saw Daddy drop as the first bullet hit him. I saw Daddy drop and then stagger inside. Kilcommons and O'Neil were shooting at him as he went in." There are also further accounts of the shooting recorded here from young neighbors. The text also includes the measures sought by the Committee for Justice in the Milton Case. The Committee argued for the dismissal and indictment of Kilcommons and O'Neil the dismissal of Police Commissioner Wallander financial support for Irene Milton and for continued support of Milton's brother Joseph who was with William in the bar on the fateful night. Joseph was charged with felonious assault on the bartender Kennefick after William was killed likely as a cover for the police in William's killing. Shields argues a motive for the arrest and beating of Joseph Milton: "The cops were trying to make him confess that William and himself had started the fight. The cops thought that such a 'confession' would give them an 'out' for the killing."<br /> <br /> A possible motive for the killing of William Milton also emerged after his murder. Milton was a member of the Communist Party and a community activist in New York who was often critical of the police violence he encountered in the city. He would also bring copies of The Daily Worker to his neighbors and was instrumental in organizing a renter's strike in a nearby building. Milton was especially vocal in his criticism of police following the killing of two African-American men by a police officer named Joseph Romeika in Freeport Long Island. Four young African-American siblings named Ferguson - Charles Joseph Alonzo and Richard - three of whom were U.S. Army veterans were refused coffee by a white manager of a diner. After they vigorously protested the manager called the police on the brothers. They left but were soon confronted by Romeika a rookie police officer. Romeika lined the men up and after two of the brothers protested Romeika kicked them in the groin and shot them an eerily-similar situation to the one that eventually led to Milton's murder.<br /> <br /> The author of the present work Art Shields was a legendary labor journalist who had previously written about the Sacco & Vanzetti case and would spend his career on the side of unions and laborers notably miners. He was highly critical of police actions such as the one recorded here which he described "as brutal a homicide as if the cops had been working for Heinrich Himmler the Nazi Gestapo leader instead of for Police Commissioner Arthur Wallander of New York." The Introduction was written by Simon W. Gerson one of the foremost leaders of the Communist Party in the United States and editor of The Daily Worker who writes passionately about the murder of Milton: "Yes William Milton lived under Jim Crow right here in New York. In fact he died from Jim Crow. He was lynched my friends lynched. What matter is it if a man is lynched by a hempen rope from a Georgia cottonwood-tree or lynched by a police revolver in the trigger-happy hands of a Brooklyn cop" The penultimate page of the pamphlet contains a group photograph which includes Gerson along with a Brooklyn councilman Mrs. Joseph Milton Irene Milton and Eugene Milton "at Madison Sq. Garden Rally" presumably in support of the Committee for Justice in the Milton Case. An important story that still resonates today about police crimes against the African-American population.

1856AQ242771856. Manuscript on paper. Single bifolium. With original stamped envelope. Old horizontal and vertical folds. Short tears at folds cross-written on terminal page. Envelope worn and soiled. An autograph letter in the hand of private Thomas Arms of the 12th Royal Lancers addressed to his sister written at Scutari Istanbul 17th January 1856 two months prior to the cessation of hostilities during the Crimean War. Arms references his participation in the Battle of Tchernaïa the fall of Sebastopol and the conditions he and his fellow soldiers had to endure: 'You wished for some small token from Sebastopol but I had nothing but a Russian musket and bayonet and those I sold to one of our officers as I have no means of sending it to England.things are very dear 1lb of bread here is 1/6 meat we cannot buy for any price we give 2 shillings for a bottle of porter or ale and we are only getting half allowance of rum to what we used to get and there it is a great deal of gambling amongst the troops'. The cross-written portion of the letter is of particular note for a passing mention of reformer of army medical services and of nursing organisation Florence Nightingale 1820-1910: 'Dear sister their sic are some kind ladies in these hospitals and kind nurses here to attend upon you. Miss Nightingale is here and Miss Roberts and some more very amicable from England'. . unknown
