"Possibly the most curious of London's novels. . Some of the phantasmagoric episodes have considerable power. The book reveals an unexpected side of Jack London. Not only was he the victim of poverty in his youth as his concern for social justice might suggest he was the illegitimate son of a spiritualist and an astrologer." - T.

Minor toning scattered foxing. A speech at the House of Commons against the monopoly of the Bank of England. <br> In 1697 Parliament had extended the charter for the Bank of England with additional conditions proposed by the bank. One of the key proposals was to stipulate that no other bank or entity akin to the nature of a bank be established in England; ensuring the legal monopoly of the Bank of England. The Nine Year's War had strengthened the newly founded Bank who issued extensive loans to the Government; ensuring that neither could be mutually separated. In this pamphlet the author warns that the Bank of England might become a monopolistic trader of credit due to its low interest rates. The tradesmen and merchants of London vehemently protested against the Bank because they saw it as anticompetitive goliath arranged against their interests. The Bank of England had previously overtaken the Land Bank as the premier trader of land in England. This and the power given by the Government to issue Exchequer notes is the preeminent case against the Bank of England's monopoly. The War of Spanish Secession further increased the government's reliance to the Bank of England who issued it millions of pounds of debt. As a result Chancellor Robert Harley was forced to seek new ways to improve the national finances. This would lead to the creation of the South Seas Company and growth of joint stock companies. This consolidation of government debt and speculation eventually lead to the 1720 Bubble Crisis. ESTC t046881; Goldsmiths'-Kress no. 04298. Kress 2523. London : Printed for A. Baldwin hardcover

28310London : s.n. 1865. Programme small octavo 178 x 120 mm 4 pp; embossed decorative borders front with lithographed view of the Royal Princess's Theatre centre pages with full cast list and detailed 'Programme of Scenery'; Act III which is titled 'Life in Australia' and is set on the goldfields includes the scenes 'Log Hut in Australia' and 'A Ravine' where the plot centres around 'The Great Nugget'; rear side with advertisement for Rimmel's Perfumes; in superb condition. The English dramatist and novelist Charles Reade 1814-1884 wrote several successful plays in the 1850s. It is never too late to mend : a matter of fact romance 1856 was his first novel and it too was quickly adapted for the stage. Largely based on his earlier play Gold 1853 which was set on the Australian goldfields Never too late to mend is a melodrama that also makes a damning attack on the harsh and abusive English penal system. It was first performed in 1858 and its popularity with English audiences gave it some longevity with productions still being staged in the 1880s. The first performance of Never too late to mend at the Royal Princess's Theatre in London's Soho was on 4 October 1865. This undated programme records ""last night but ten"" suggesting it was likely to have been printed during November 1865. The production starred Mr. Gaston Murray Mr. George Melville and Mr. A. B. Tapping. Numerous examples of broadside playbills and advertisements for Never too late to mend for various productions staged between 1858 and 1883 are held in Australian libraries. However Trove locates no programme for any production of the play making this extremely well preserved example - printed by the theatre and purchased by a patron who witnessed the play - a rare and significant survivor.  unknown
