As a result of the numerous wrecks and casualties on the Welsh coast, the Admiralty instructed him in 1737 to undertake a new survey. Morris had surveyed the whole of the west coast of Wales by the declaration of war against France in 1744. But the work was fatally interrupted by lack of funds for the project. The partially completed work was published in 1748 as 'Plans of harbours... in the St. George's Channel.

Bound in attractive modern half brown morocco and marbled paper over boards gilt-lettered spine title. Light foxing Good plus. <br /> <br /> Wales Professor of Divinity at Yale discourses learnedly on the state of the nation and the difficulties which the Constitutional Convention would attempt to solve two years later in Philadelphia. <br /> "We have been often delivered in a most signal manner both from the secret stratagems and the open assaults of our enemies." Echoing an emerging theme he asserts that God has singularly blessed this country. But we have not sufficiently discharged our "obligations to those who have voluntarily taken an hazardous or an expensive part in effecting our late happy revolution." At very least the bondholders should be paid and not in depreciated currency which is destroying the country. Moreover we should become self-sufficient and not hanker "after British gew-gaws and foreign luxuries." <br /> He views with alarm the tendency toward factions and rivalries among the States. <br /> Evans 19359.

1901129531Sydney: Angus and Robertson 1901. First Edition. Hardcover. Fair. Sydney Angus and Robertson 1901. Quarto x 64 pages with an illustration plus 8 plates but lacking the colour frontispiece called for by Dornbusch. Modern binder's cloth with the front panel of the original green wrapper printed in red mounted on the front board; text block tide-marked near the head of the spine with the plates a little stained; some discolouration and foxing heavy in places; minor signs of age and use; a decent copy of an absolute rarity. This history of these two cavalry units from their foundation through to the end of the Boer War is 'undoubtedly a regimental record but it is something more - it is an attempt to explain and to some extent combat the unreasoning prejudice which has grown up as a result of the South African campaign against the cavalry arm of the service. On this point Mr. Wilkinson says:- "It is my purpose to show not only that cavalry regiments like the New South Wales Lancers have done equal yeoman service to the Empire in the South African struggle with their comrades in the other branches of the service but that they have done infinitely more as the pioneers of the cavalry movement in Australia to enhance the value of our defence force and to shew the world of what fighting stuff our men are made"' from a review in the 'Daily Telegraph' 12 October 1901. The last 18 pages contain numerous appendices including nominal and casualty rolls. <p>Dornbusch 126; Fielding and O'Neill page 126. Angus and Robertson hardcover
16396Kenfig Hill Bridgend South Wales. 1 February 1911 to 18 January 1938. The present volume provides a fascinating sidelight into the operations of an archetypal Working Men's Club Labour leader Ed Milliband was recently described as being 'more at home in Primrose Hill than Kenfig Hill' at what was perhaps the high point of such an institution covering the period from just before the Great War to the end of the Depression of the 1930s.

A listed building it reopened with lottery funding in 2005. The item is 270pp. large 4to.

The volume also contains three loose receipts dated 1913 1914 and 1938 and a note in Welsh. The first page of the volume contains a record of sums raised by 'Tickets sold for opening concert' and at the rear are two entries relating to the 'Opening Ceremony' on 20 September 1911: a record of the 'Proceeds of Tickets sold at doors' £6 16s 0d and eleven guineas to J. D. Dover for the 'cost of Luncheon'. The accounts cover everything from methylated spirits to waste paper baskets and a note indicates the care with which the accounts were kept: 'N.B.

1898176660Brecon: Printed and Published by David Jenkins "Brecon and Radnor Express" Office 1898. First and only edition of an immediate reprint with additions of a local newspaper account detailing the ceremony and celebrations for the dedication of a memorial to "the non-commissioned officers and men. who fell in action during the Zulu Campaign of 1879". Ten men from the regiment won Victoria Crosses for the campaign and six of them attended the ceremony. No institutional copies have been traced. The 24th Regiment gained legendary status for their actions following one of the greatest military disasters in British history when the unfortified camp at Isandlwana was overwhelmed by a massive Zulu force. Five of the men present in 1898 had won their VCs for their bravery in the desperate defence of Rorke's Drift events depicted in the 1964 film Zulu although not entirely accurately. These men were Frederick Hitch Henry Hook Robert and William Jones and John Williams. Edward Stephenson Browne received his VC for the later Battle of Hlobane. In 1907 after a sustained campaign lieutenants Melvill and Coghill were the first to receive posthumous VCs for their attempts to save the regiment's colours at Isandlwana. Another VC winner from the 24th David Bell also attended. He had earned his medal in 1867 in the Andaman Islands for rescuing several comrades from dangerous surf when their boat capsized during a storm. Octavo pp. 34.

From the Preface to the Twenty-Second Edition-<br /> <br /> "No book published by or for the Latter-day Saints has run through so many editions or been sold so extensively as the Hymn Book of which this is the twenty-second edition. The demand for it continues unabated and since the publication of the Latter-day Saints' Psalmody which contains music for every hymn in this book a new interest has been added to it and its usefulness enhanced. In this edition will be found a metrical index which the book formerly did not contain. This feature will be especially valuable to choirs. A few hymns have also been added to the end of the volume. That these additions may prove acceptable to the public and that the book may continue its cheering and consoling mission indefinitely is the desire of The Publishers. Salt Lake City Utah. June 1897.
