1908339985London: no publisher 1908. Softcover. Good. Typescript manuscript. 16pp. String-tied maroon crocodile textured wrappers with hand-titled paper label. Numerous tears and moderate loss to the wraps but with only light toning to the interior pages except for last page which has some creasing overall very good. This memorandum was prepared by the London Committee of Deputies of Jews a group formed in the mid-18th Century to safeguard the interests of the Jewish community and given to Sir Edward Grey the longest tenured British Foreign Secretary. The memorandum outlines various violations by the Romanian government to the Convention of Paris 1858 and the Treaty of Berlin 1878. It was likely written in reaction to the previous year's Romanian peasants' revolt in which over 10000 people were killed and the origin of which was falsely blamed on the Jews. A notable document of European prewar Jewish solidarity and reaction to anti-Semitism. [no publisher] unknown

1903185992New York: The Macmillan Company 1903. The political machine known as the British Empire is running down First edition. The author wrote his first-hand account of life in the slums of London's East End after spending six weeks in Whitechapel in 1902. Laid in is a cheque drawn on the Central Bank of Oakland dated 29 November 1904 signed by Jack London and made out to Public Opinion magazine. The abject poverty that the author witnessed in the British capital's slums affected London greatly. His friend the author Upton Sinclair commented that "for years afterwards the memories of this stunted and depraved population haunted him beyond all peace" reported in The Guardian. In the conclusion to People of the Abyss London blames this deprivation on inept governance: "That the present management is incapable there can be no discussion. It has drained the United Kingdom of its life-blood. The political machine known as the British Empire is running down" pp. 313-314. Octavo. Frontispiece 18 photographic plates 61 photographic illustrations to text. Original blue cloth spine and front cover gilt lettered and decorated top edges gilt others untrimmed.

190394192New York: Macmillan Company 1903. Hardcover. Fine. First edition. Publisher's promotional pamphlet laid in. Small leather bookplate of Neva and Guy Littell on the front pastedown. A little rubbing to the painted "snow" on the spine and front board else a bright just about fine copy lacking the dust jacket. Laid into this copy is a Typed Letter Signed from Rockwell Kent on his Ausable Forks stationery to Guy Littell head of R.R. Donnelley and Sons dated 25 March 1929 which reads in full: <br /> <br /> "Dear Mr. Littell: Even before any consideration of the book that you have suggested to me to illustrate let me express my appreciation of the indulgence you show in considering the continuance of any relations with so rank a procrastinator. I am going to try to have learned one lesson from this experience and make no plans ahead. In evidence of this let me assure you that I am concentrating upon Moby Dick and sending Mr. Kittredge by this same mail a big package of drawings. I have not read the 'Call of the Wild' but will do so. Faithfully yours Rockwell Kent."<br /> <br /> We infer from this that Littell suggested Kent follow up Moby Dick - which is now considered a masterpiece of 20th Century illustration - with Conrad's The Call of the Wild a commission Kent ultimately did not accept. One of the two great novels along with White Fang for which the author seems destined to be remembered. His empathy for animals combined with his appreciation of the Darwinian lessons of life overcome London's occasionally simplistic political agenda resulting in a classic tale for both children and adults.

1933185321London: Ernest Benn Limited; Librairie Hachette Paris 1933. Containing Harry Beck's original map of the London Underground First edition first state of Harry Beck's map of the London Underground tipped in as issued. Copies of the pamphlet were also issued standalone in January 1933. The Short Guide to London was first published in 1924 but this the third edition was the first to include Beck's groundbreaking map of the London Underground published by Waterlow and Sons. This map had reconceptualized the network for millions of people: "Rather than emphasising distance and geographical accuracy like other maps Beck based his on the circuit diagrams he drew for his day job; stripping the sprawling Tube network down to a neat diagram of coloured criss-crossing lines" Transport for London. The copy in this volume is in the first state showing the Piccadilly Line under construction between Cockfosters and Enfield West now Oakwood. The first Blue Guide was released in 1918 by James and Findlay Muirhead beginning a series that would last for over 100 years. The Muirheads already had experience in publishing travel guides as the English-language editors for Baedeker and had acquired the rights to John Murray's Handbooks in 1915. They soon came to rival the Baedecker series itself with one reviewer writing of the 1920 England guide: "The verdict is if you can have both books in your library do so; but if you can have but one take the Blue Guide. This will probably permanently displace Baedecker as regards England" Hopkins p. 153. Small octavo. Folding colour map frontispiece and 6 brown street maps 2 double-page colour tube map maps in text. Original blue cloth spine lettered in gilt lettered or map endpapers top edge blue red and blue bookmarkers. Purple ink stamp of Angus and Robertson Ltd.
