189941042Baltimore: A. Hoen & Co. n.d. ca 1899. 1899. First edition. 7 3/4" x 4" in colorful pictorial wrapper. Rear wrapper missing. 32 pp. including front wrapper. Illustrations. Maps. Schedules. "Founded in Baltimore in 1852 to operate a cargo and passenger steamship line between Baltimore and Boston Mass. The service initially operated with two wooden hulled side wheelers but in 1859 built two iron hulled steamers to augment services and extended services to call at Providence Rhode Island. Services were disrupted by the American Civil War but resumed in 1864. After a period of decline after the war the company slowly recovered and by 1869 were able to order a new ship. Further ships were built in the 1870s and in 1876 the Baltimore & Savannah SS Co. was purchased which allowed the company to enter the cotton trade between Savannah Charleston and New York. The company expanded in the 1880s and added several new ports of call including Newport News and Norfolk to their routes. In 1900 a Philadelphia - Savannah service was started and in 1907 the Winsor Line of Philadelphia was purchased with their fleet of seven steamers. A new route between Baltimore and Jacksonville commenced in 1909 and in 1920 a service was initiated to Havana Cuba but this was discontinued after about a year. A service to Nassau Bahamas started in 1939 but on the entry of the United Stated into World War II in 1941 most of the company's ships were requisitioned for war duty. Limited services continued but after the war it was not considered financially viable to re-purchase ships which had been sold to the Government or to build new ships and in 1948 it was decided to cease trading. The company was officially liquidated in 1952." Pamphlet includes overview of the company; information about places along the route to include Chesapeake Bay Old Point Comfort Fort Monroe Hampton Hampton Roads and Norfolk; general information about the ships and officers; information about what one can expect while sailing; information on various rooms aboard the ship to include the Social Hall the Saloon the Companionway and Staterooms and the Culinary Department.

xi, 394 pages. Bibliography. Black and white photographic plates. "Joe Boyle led many lives - sailor, sports promoter, entrepreneur, diplomat, soldier, spy - each life a testament to a romantic nature, a love of action, a blunt, single-minded devotion to doing what seemeed right and what needed to be done. Decorated by four European countries for outstanding services in war, he long remained unsung and all but forgotten in his own land. Now, using new material from the Boyle family archives never before published, this book recreates in colourful detail the exciting life of one of the last international heroes." - dust jacket. Book

The first on an amendment moved by Mr Fenwick to deprive the Home Secretary of the power to exempt any mine from the weighing clauses. The second moved by Mr Donald Proudford to make it imperative that the weight should be by imperial ton. The representatives of the miners in the House supported both and Mr. Herman Hodge voted against both.'

249232 June 1892; and 2 and 11 February and 11 October 1893. The first two on House of Commons letterhead; the third on letterhead of the Reform Club Pall Mall; the fourth from Cromer on letterhead of the Board of Trade Whitehall London. See his entry in the Oxford DNB. Under Gladstone Burt served as Parliamentary Secretary to the Board of Trade 1892-1895. From the papers of Arthur George Liddon Rogers 1864-1944 son of the editor of the economist Thorold Rogers and written while Rogers was Secretary of the Liberal Publication Department a sort of public relations department a position to which he was appointed in November 1891. The four items all addressed to ‘Dear Mr Rogers’ and signed ‘Thos Burt’ are all bifoliums in good condition folded for postage. ONE 2 June 1892: 2pp 12mo. With regard to an LPD publication he regrets that he ‘cannot do the leaflet’. Not only does he have ‘more work on hand than I can get through my having a member of the Royal Commission inquiring into the subject hampers me’. He does not think he could ‘with propriety write publicly on the subject at a time when I am engaged with others in preparing the Report’. TWO 2 February 1893: 4pp 12mo. A ‘rush of correspondence’ has left him without a ‘spare minute’. He is enclosing a letter from one of his constituents ‘in the hope that you may be able to forward him some leaflets bearing upon the points he mentions’. Burt’s own paper ‘on the Mines Reg Act that I wrote for you might be useful and I have no doubt you have something on Free Education and the other questions referred to’. He asks if there is ‘a cheap edition of Mr John Nohle’s book’. He ends with reference to the return of a book and the settling of an account. THREE 11 February 1893. 2pp 12mo. In thanking him for his ‘kind letter & for yr prompt attention to my request’ he is returning a cheque. FOUR 11 October 1893. 4pp 12mo. In a secretarial hand with Burt’s autograph signature. He is ‘away from the Board of Trade until Parliament re-assembles’ and is consequently ‘not in a position myself to verify all the facts contained in the enclosed pamphlet’. He believes ‘the facts given are strictly accurate except under the heading Seaman’s Wages’. As ‘chairman of the departmental Comttee that enquired into the subject’ he makes suggestions towards the way ‘the beginning of that paragraph should I think be somewhat modified’. He knows ‘that steps are now being taken to extend the system to foreign posts. If the leaflet is not issued before I return to the B of T I will make further enquiry should you so desire with a view to ensure absolute correctness.’ 2 June 1892; and 2 and 11 February, and 11 October, 1893. The first two on House of Commons letterhead; the third on letterhead unknown
