236 pages. Several black and white photographic plates. "Squadron-Leader Tredrey takes the reader with him day-by-day through a three-month's course at the Central Flying School, where R.A.F. instructors are themselves instructed in the 'patter' which they have to hand out to their pupils later on. A book of this kind which conveys so exactly the pilot's own sensations and enthusiasms easily earns its place among the classics of flying." - from back flap of dust jacket which is laid inside back cover.

201 pages of profoundly fascinating and delightful illustrated history. Author's father (b. 1870) left Yorkshire, England with his young family for Canada in 1909 and arrived in Fife Lake, Saskatchewan where they spent their first winter in a straw house. Author was born in a sod house in 1910 and moved with his family to Montana when he was 6 years old. At age 14 the family moved to Victoria, B.C. and from there to Nanoose Bay, further up Vancouver Island. Most pages contain brief text, accompanied by the author's simple sketches of the way things were. He has stressed the most practical elements of daily life and survival. A priceless compilation of the challenges and genius of the pioneer. Examples include: how to hunt prairie antelope by wearing a white sheet; avoiding flying ants by erecting a pole to your wagon and hanging a coat at its top; uprooting stumps by tying them to nearby trees to be felled; cutting wood by rigging a buzzsaw to the back wheel of a Model "T" Ford truck; and many, many more. Mentions Vancouver Island landmarks such as the Arlington Hotel, Lantzville Hotel, Quarterway Hotel, and more. This book lends itself wonderfully to teaching youngsters the ways of the not-so-distant past. You will have great difficulty in putting it down. Book

A collection of twenty-three letters supposedly written by an American from New England during their travels through England and Wales.

Written by "A New England Man" or James Kirke Paulding an American writer known for his violently anti-British views. He was also the United States Secretary of the Navy for a time.

Engravings from this Sturt and Nutt volume were bound into other copies of this 1713 Baskett BCP: see the British Library copy in Eighteenth Century Collections Online. One of the earliest Baskett editions of the BCP Baskett also published 4to and 12mo edns in 1713 published after he had acquired the patent for the office of Queen''s Printer in 1712 but before this was confirmed by the new sovereign George I in 1714. 1713 also saw Baskett''s publication of the visually spectacular but error-prone ''Vinegar Bible'' so-called from a misprint in the parable of the vineyard: this BCP with its red-ruling and illustrations displays similar ambition.

Gilt decor to board edges and turn-ins worn. Rubbing to boards. Corners bumped. Raised bands and ornate gilt decor compartments to spine rubbed and worn. Chipping and wear to top and base of spine. Outer front hinge almost fully cracked but hinge holding due to fairly recent sturdy cloth tape reinforcement on inside. Tape repair to inner rear hinge now perishing. Cracking to rear inner hinge and endpapers but hinge still firm. All edges gilt darkened. Marbled endpapers sometime added now worn with creasing to rear endpaper. Front marbled endpaper is missing the half not pasted to the boards. Large quarto 18 x 24cm. Three volumes with individual title pages all printed by John Hayes in 1683 bound together with 59 plates bound in. The plates are taken from 'The Life of our Blessed Lord & Saviour Jesus Christ. An Heroic Poem' by Samuel Wesley first published 1693 and illustrated with 60 copper plates of which all but one possibly the title or half-title were used for this volume. Only one plate is signed: St Matthew by Nicholas Yeates some small scenes of martyrdoms inserted in portraits of saints are initialled J. C. It is likely that Yeates and the more famous William Fairthorne 'recognised as the best native-born portrait engraver of the century' were part of a team which oversaw the 'extraordinary effort' of creating these dramatic and technically skilled 'complex traditional Catholic illustrations' see Hodnett 1978 'Francis Barlow: First Master of English Book Illustration'. First two volumes unpaginated. Small Nashdom Abbey inscription on inside front board. The Book of Common Prayer contains prefatory material including 'An Act for the Uniformity of Common Prayer' described in volume index but missing from copy described in ESTC. Small tear to the top of sig.B4 in Book of Common Prayer with small loss to text. Plate of 'St. Iacobvs Minor' was once partially stuck to preceding page with small loss to text and minor damage to image. Decorative initials. ~Additional notes: the marbled paper is plausibly late 17th-century but of an unusual straight herringbone design. John Hayes was apt to sell his publications gathered into bespoke volumes; we have been unable to locate another Common Prayer / New Testament / Psalter combination from his press. Darlow & Moule list two small 4to Bibles published by Hayes in 1683. They note that the first has a NT title page date of 1680 but don't mention the date of the second. The NT title page here is dated 1683. Hardback. Hardback. Good. 188 294 2 106 10pp. John Hayes Hardcover

Letter One 12mo 3 pp Oxford 1 November 1827 signed 'W: M.': Begins by saying that he will be pleased to join Charles 'in the Lodging you propose or any other more to your mind - I had not fixed upon any plan but thought once of being at Ellis's Hotel - the Colonial Club House St. James St. Your proposal however I like much better.' He will 'much prefer being in the Regent Street on late Nights in the Ho. of Commons Manning was also a Member of Parliament as I found Wimpole St. rather too far last winter.'

Letter Four 12mo 3 pp Combe Bank 20 July 1831 signed 'W: Manning'. He does not 'feel inclined to risk a Letter of so much importance to Sir Richard Jackson who may have left Scotland before it gets there'.

Docketed in bottom left-hand corner 'Tablet erected in Sundridge Church Febry 1836.' Praises Manning's 'meekness purity benevolence and unwearied endeavours for the welfare and happiness of all around him' which 'will be long remembered by an extensive circle of grateful friends but chiefly by his own Family who deeply feeling their bereavement desire to record by this Tablet their reverential and pious affection for the best of Fathers -'. This supports Cardinal Manning's evaluation of his father's character on which doubt has been cast by the author of his entry in the Oxford DNB.

Very Good English Original sepia-toned large-sized albumen print photograph of a group of soldiers of the 4th Troop, C Squadron of The Q.O.R.G.Y., probably taken before WW I. Mounted on cardboard. 29x24 cm. Descriptive words in English. Exceedingly rare and attractive photo shows 32 troops with their guns on horses, presumably in Britain, as evidenced by the topographic view in the background. The Queen's Own Royal Glasgow Yeomanry was a yeomanry regiment of the British Army that can trace their formation back to 1796. It saw action in the Second Boer War, the First World War, and the Second World War. RHQ and C Squadron moved to Egypt in June 1915, landing at Port Said on 22 June. In October they joined the 52nd (Lowland) Infantry Division at Gallipoli as dismounted troops and participated in the Gallipoli Campaign. In January 1916 they returned to Egypt with the division. In May 1916, RHQ moved to France and joined V Corps Cavalry Regiment. C Squadron remained with the division until August 1917 when it joined XXI Corps Cavalry Regiment, along with A Squadron, Hertfordshire Yeomanry and A Squadron, Duke of Lancaster's Own Yeomanry. In May 1918 it returned to Egypt for the rest of the war. (Wikipedia).
