Original colour illustrated wrappers. Text evenly browned upper wrapper and first leaves a little insect damaged but still a very attractive souvenir issue. This fascinating magazine special issue was published to commemorate the Atlantic Fleet's the Great White Fleet visit to Japan in October 1908. The issue was published in November 1908 and reports all the activities of welcoming the fleet in Yokohama. Fuzoku Gaho was the first illustrated magazine which covered Japanese culture and was published between between 1889 and 1916. This special issue shows the enthusiasm Japanese government and the public displayed to the visiting US naval officers and sailors. <br> <br>The US Atlantic Fleet which consisted with 16 war ships went around the world between 1908 and 1909. As the ships were painted in white the fleet was also known as the Great White Fleet. In Japan they were called white ships 白船 in contrast to the black ships of Matthew Perry. This US naval exercise was to show off the American naval power to the world particularly in the Pacific after the Russo-Japanese War. The Japanese government decided to invite the fleet to Japan and welcome the ships with heightened enthusiasm. The contemporary social atmosphere and details of numerous events are covered extensively in this issue. Text is both in Japanese and English. The issue includes some pages of cartoon illustrations of American sailors on shore leave in Yokohama. With a title of "Jackass in Yokohama" and "U.S Jackies on the Spree" the sailors' experiences in Yokohama are illustrated with humour. . 東陽堂. [Tōyōdō]. unknown

2475913 June 1854; 67 Arlington Street Mornington Crescent London. An interesting item casting light on Victorian London publishing of periodical literature. For Passmore Edwards to whom London is indebted for innumerable public libraries many now closed see his entry in the Oxford DNB. ‘The Biographical Magazine’ was founded in 1852 and the first two volumes were published by ‘J. Passmore Edwards 2 Horse-shoe Court Ludgate Hill’. Vols 3 to 5 were published by the London firm Partridge & Oakey after which it appears to have ceased publication in the year of this letter although it may have continued for a few years as ‘Lives of the Illustrious’. Some sources name Edwards as the editor but this item disproves that claim. The preface to the first volume reproduces the prospectus referred to in the letter. 3pp 12mo. Bifolium. Fifty-seven lines of neatly-written text. In good condition lightly aged with the blank reverse of the second leaf adhering to a brown paper panel cut from the leaf of an album. He begins by explaining that he has delayed replying to the recipient’s suggestion until he ‘might be able to give some decisive answer’. ‘The propriety of such a monthly obituary as you propose has been several times under discussion but the cons have always prevailed over the pros’. He expected to have met with the publishers the previous day ‘to decide some little matters & then proposed to introduce the subject again; but something interfering then I must take another opportunity’. After setting out the ‘strongest objection’ and observing that the magazine sells better in volume-form ‘than the numbers’ he continues: ‘We are the more chary of any change as our circulation is at present very small. The Magazine has not had a fair trial before the public & is in many places I find absolutely unknown; this may in part account for the want of success.’ He has been ‘attempting to inaugurate a system of advertising’ and if ‘finances would allow’ feels that it would be ‘a great improvement to introduce also a portrait of each individual & perhaps afterwards other historical illustrations. At this I intend to aim.’ He is enclosing ‘an old prospectus or two. If you have an opportunity of introducing the Magazine anywhere they may be of service. I have nothing more recent at hand just now.’ He ends with thanks and an apology for ‘the hurry with which this is written’. 13 June 1854; 67 Arlington Street, Mornington Crescent, London. unknown

A literary milieu unto itself the magazine was a projection of the editor's taste. Clark kept writers fed; in return the American litterarati first offered Clark their latest work. Dickens too had his first American exposure in the Knickerbocker; on his visit to the US his first lodging was at Clark's house. Lewis died in 1873. A very nice copy with handsome shelf appeal.
