50 pages. Circa mid-1980s. "This is a book of images - fleeting moments in a construction project captured on film. "North East Coal" conjures up many different images: to those who negotiated sales agreements in Canada and Japan there is one set; to those who spent years styding and planning the development, other memories come to the fore; to those who worked on the construction projects across northern British Columbia there are other pictures; and to those who live in Tumbler Ridge and work in jobs created by the development yet still another set of images surfaces. We hope that the pages of this book will trigger all these memories." - from foreward. Wonderfully illustrated with colour photography. Negligible wear to clean, bright and unmarked book.

354119 April 1900; on letterhead '76 Sloane Street S.W.'. Second baronet 1843-1911 politician and author. Three pages 12mo. In good condition although grubby and with a few stains. 'My Coal Mines Prevention of Child Labour Underground Bill grew out of the Eight Hours debate and a challenge to the Coal Owners so I did not put metalliferous mines in and excluded them by any title. There are very few boys under 13 in them but the principle might be the same'. He has been consulted on the matter by the Home Office and has spoken to Lord Grey about it. Complains that 'formerly the thing could have been done in the House of Commons' but that the 'present rules . as to scope and title concerning contents even against Instruction prevent it. The Lords have not altered their rules if they can be said to have any and I suppose they can do this thing and omit the word "Coal" from the title'. Asked if Jenkinson can 'warn' him if the suggestion is acted upon. 19 April 1900; on letterhead '76, Sloane Street, S.W.' unknown
