1925317h5392London: John Murray Publishers Limited 1925. Book. Good. Hardcover. First Edition. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. pp. vi vii-xiv 360. Index. Thirty-three pages of black and white photographic plates. Author headed British Columbia's Game department for thirteen years. "Everything that is stated in this narrative with regard to the habits of our wild life is unless otherwise noted first-hand knowledge that has been acquired from personal observation during over thirty-five years of wandering in the country. There are in every man of British blood traces of primitive man. They create an overpowering desire to hunt and kill. It is likely that there was more than the ordinary share in me. This is a hard country for a man of education unless he has private means a profession or exceptional business ability. For a man of moderate means there is no country on the face of the earth where he can live a more healthy or enjoyable life; but if he expects to be frequently indulging in sport and also to amass the 'almighty dollar' he will have a sad disappointment. Fishing shooting and making money do not go well together. I can bear witness to this fact!" - Author's Foreword. Two names written upon front free endpaper. Trifle of writing inside back board.

1947List3322Trail British Columbia: Hall Printing Co 1947. Broadside measuring approximately 19 x 19 inches. Folded with some wrinkling and very small tears at margins; excellent. The Doukhobors are a Spiritual Christian group that originated in the Russian Empire around the late eighteenth century. Persecuted for their pacifism and rejection of the Orthodox Church the Doukhobors were first removed to present-day Ukraine then the Transcaucasus with some of their leadership exiled to Siberia. In the late nineteenth century they were allowed to emigrate and with the help of both Quakers and the Christian anarchist Tolstoyans—whose beliefs largely accorded with the Doukhobors’—many ended up in western and central Canada.<br /> <br /> In Canada the dissident group Sons of Freedom or Freedomites Svobodniki formed out of the Doukhobors; their opposition to assimilation and government interference was more extreme than their parent group and they were known for eschewing cooked food the use of animal labor and clothing.1 The Freedomites became increasingly violent in their protests of the modern world particularly making use of arson and bombings leading the vehemently pacifist Doukhobors—who were often their victims—to disavow the group.<br /> <br /> Offered here is a broadside produced by the Doukhobors in British Columbia appealing to the Canadian government for help in apprehending and controlling the radicals ending the Doukhobor’s “dreadful existence under constant fear.†The broadside reproduces the correspondence between the Union of Doukhobors of Canada and various provincial and federal officials and especially emphasizes that contrary to popular belief the Doukhobors had been open and cooperative with law enforcement. Despite the “suspicion on the part of our people as to whether necessary measures were ever taken by the proper authorities†the group tried “to cooperate to the best of our ability.†They ask:<br /> <br /> “We regarded Canada as foremost in racial and religious tolerance. Why is ‘a civil war between Doukhobors’ allowed to go on and people forced to engage in violence in contradiction to the principle of faith they endeavor to upholdâ€<br /> <br /> We find one copy of this broadside in OCLC.<br /> <br /> 1 Maurice Gerschon Hindus “Doukhobors and Dissenters†in A Traveler in Two Worlds Doubleday 1971 290–303.

A few light spots of foxing to the front cover else near fine. Exceptionally rare in commerce our offering being the only extant copy available at time of cataloguing. Equally scarce amongst institutional holding with the present offering the Canadian Edition unrecorded in OCLC. See OCLC #14788285 recording only but two instances of the American iteration of the present publication. <br/><br/>Published prior to the onset of the devastating 1918 influenza pandemic colloquially referred to as the Spanish flu the present pamphlet offers a searing indictment of the motives of the American Medical Association in their wide-ranging efforts at mass innoculation of the public against the blights of influenza smallpox etc. Alleging profits hidden agendas and devoting significant sections to an individual's right to choose whether to be vaccinated this "treatise" offers a stern condemnation of the perceived and real infringements of choice relating to one's bodily autonomy. Remarkably prescient it is reminiscent of the rhetoric and rationale employed by modern anti-vaccine advocates who like the author vigorously and vehemently question the legal and moral rationale for mass vaccination. Katherine Arnup notes in '"Victims of Vaccination": Opposition to Compulsory Immunization in Ontario 1900-90': "On 18 January 1900 the Anti-Vaccination League of Canada was formed. Modeled on the British antivaccinationists and using much of their "argumentation methods and publication" the Anti-Vaccination League set out to secure the repeal of all compulsory vaccination legislation. It is important to recognize that during these years opposition to compulsory vaccination was effectively a mass movement. At the height of the controversy the issue was featured in Toronto newspapers on a daily basis. While actual membership in the League may have numbered only in the hundreds thousands more supported their efforts attending rallies and signing petitions. Included among its members and supporters were politicians workers homeopaths small businessmen and even a few doctors. The issue clearly struck a responsive chord in the hearts of many Canadians of the day." Retrieved April 6 2021. [Anti-Vaccination League of Canada] | The Truth Teller Publishing Co.
