193499357Perth: Govt Printer: Fred Simpson. 1934. 1st ed. royal octavo. pp xviii 489 b/w & colour fold. maps half-bound in kangaroo retaining the original gilt titled silk moire boards professionally repaired new gilt leather spine label ownership in ink of Western Australian historian to ffep. Loosely inserted news-cutting "The Case for the Case" dated 19th September 1934 showing the casket made of local wood which will contain the Secession petition . which will be presented to the King by the Secession delegate". A beautifully bound copy in near fine condition. The 1934 'case for secession' failed and support for the Dominion League in the Western Australian community dwindled. The secession debate was reignited briefly in 1974 by mining magnate Lang Hancock with the formation of the Westralian Secession Movement. The movement was sparked in reaction to the centralist policy of the Whitlam Labor Government. However the movement failed to achieve prominence due to the strong economy at the time and disappeared as quickly as it emerged. Harrop 1st edition. Half leather.

1934431j2427Edinburgh: The MacMillan Company. Fair with no dust jacket. 1934. First Edition. Hardcover. "The Cassiar land district occupies the north-west section of B.C. and has an area of about one hundred thousand square miles. There is no literature about the Cassiar unless one admits as such the reports of government officials and mining engineers. Even the Indians display ignorance concerning certain districts. This book represents a year's sojourn in the central and northern parts of the Cassiar 1930-31. My aim has been to distil from a mass of particular experiences the general spirit of the Cassiar and so to arrange and select actual impressions that they become significant and typical of the country." - Preface. Photo frontispiece of Telegraph Creek. Rebound in sturdy hardcover library binding with usual markings. Above-average wear. Binding intact. A worthy reading copy. Whiteman 613.; 8vo .
