19331821<p>15 cm. 4ii vii11-621-36331-1653xii2pp. Most pages double-column with either side-by-side or facing English and Chinese text. Brown cloth stamped in gilt and white. Shelfworn with white almost entirely missing from spine characters; small stain to rear board.</p><p>An English conversation guide for Chinese speakers that covers the subject in three separately paginated parts -- Vocabulary Dialogues and Useful Sentences -- plus an Appendix. Numerous examples are provided throughout although often of such a specific nature that it is hard to imagine such a conversation taking place e.g. when the reader is provided with dialogue about the benefits of swimming in sea water versus river water or how to report to the police being robbed by four men with guns one of whom has a "double thumb" .</p><p>Interestingly all of the examples appear to take place in China and at times offer a sharp cultural critique of English-speaking foreigners. This is particularly true in a section in Dialogues on "Protests" in which a sample Chinese person defends himself against rudeness and racist comments by foreigners in different situations such as being mistreated by a clerk in a store when being involved in a traffic accident that was the foreigner's fault and on a tram car "The occasions of provocation are numerous and only a few are referred to here". An Editor's Note follows this section noting that while "it does a man good to get a genuine complaint out of his chest rather than to harbour it there" readers should always take the moral high ground: "the spirit underlying the protest should never be one of racial prejudice. A protest should be made with the best of intentions for the sake of the benefit of the offender as well as the scandalised onlookers. The protester should not fall into a passion for after all to err is human" p. 140-41.</p><p>Surprisingly not found in OCLC.</p> The World Book Co., Ltd. hardcover

Philip Dosse the recipient of the first two letters was proprietor of Hansom Books publisher of a stable of seven arts magazines including Books and Bookmen and Plays and Players.

Begins: ‘I thought I would send my critique to Garett via you and take the opportunity to thank you for your offer of free advertisement of my books in B&B. I informed Leslie Frewin his publisher who told me he would contact you to express his gratitude.’ He continues: ‘Believe me it will be a blessing when my book comes out and I receive the other half of my advance because right now to exist on free-lance writing is one hell of a competition. If for the last time I could be sent payment or my critique straight-away I would be truly grateful at the same time aware that of all your contributors I must be the greatest pain in the neck.’ He apologises and states that he will not ask again. TWO: Undated January 1977 TLS to 'Dear Philip'. He hopes 'all's well with' Dosse and sends New Year greetings. 'Enclosed is my review of MUZUNGU by Daniel Topolski.'

171962577Erie PA: Erie Litho & Printing Co. March 17 1923. Large double atlas folio dual-sided broadside printed on newsprint sized 9.25 x 42 in. photo & woodcut engraving illustrations recto & verso toning to paper some chipping & edgewear paper repairs to closed tears still a G- copy. First edition thus of this advertising broadside for Erickson’s “J.W. Johnson’s Old Reliable Virginia Minstrels World’s best colored show. . . “ which touts their supposed 15 year history and appear to have either been reformed from the “Alabama Minstrels†show which played throughout the West and Midwest from 1905-1914 or simply taken over some of their acts. The contortionist fire king Hi Henry Hunt who appears in this broadside regularly performed with the “Alabama Minstrels†from 1905-1913. The silver voiced tenor A.J. McFarland and Grace Arniot Royal Entertainer depicted on the broadside also appear to have been African-American rather than black face performers. The name appears to have been drawn from the 19th-Century original “Virginia Minstrels†or the “Melodious Ethiopian Band†which featured Billy Whitlokc Dick Pelham Frank Brower and Dan Emmett performing in New York’s Bowery Amphitheater in 1843 and launched the minstrelsy form of entertainment. Emmett is perhaps best remembered as the author of “Dixie†which ironically would become the Confederate States unofficial anthem.
