Now housed in an archival mylar sleeve. Average wear. Period pos to p. 1 upper margin. Very Good. 24 pp. Contents include an illustrated history of the tower and its carillon as well as the summer program. Illustrated with 9 captioned b/w half-tone photographic images. 8vo. 8-1/8" x 5" <br/><br/>From Wiki we find that a "carillon is a musical instrument typically housed in the bell tower belfry of a church or municipal building. The instrument consists of at least 23 cast bronze cup-shaped bells which are played serially to produce a melody or together to play a chord. A traditional manual carillon is played by striking a keyboard—the stick-like keys of which are called batons—with the fists and by pressing the keys of a pedal keyboard with the feet. The keys mechanically activate levers and wires connected to metal clappers which strike the bells." <br /> <br />Here this Carillon "was installed and inaugurated in the presenced of His Excellency the Viscount Willingdon Governor General of Canada at noon on the first day of July 1927 on the occasion of the celebration of the sixtieth anniversary of the Confederation of Canada." <br /> <br />Uncommon no copies located on OCLC.

Very good overall. An entertaining diary chronicling a seven- week camping and canoeing trip in the Ontario wilderness by four Yale University students during the summer of 1911. <br> <br> We believe the author of this diary to be Henry Eldridge Perry a Yale student who was accompanied on this adventure by three friends: Jo Dugas Edward Bancroft Twombly a member of the Yale class of 1912 and of Skull and Bones and Jeff Jeffery. They met at North Bay Ontario and took the train to Cochrane and then on to Low Bush where their journey began. Their purported mission was to search for fossils minerals and other geological samples but the diary reveals they were mostly searching for adventure. <br> <br> Perry's daily entries detail their progress on the water portaging from lake to lake setting up numerous campsites in difficult territory battling the weather hunting and fishing and chance meetings with lumberjacks and Indians among other excitement. They regularly shot partridges for breakfast and caught pickerel and pike for dinner when they could "I kidded myself into thinking I was fishing but I really only held a pole" - July 20. <br> <br> The hunting highlight of the trip was the downing of a black bear on August 10: <br> <br> "This afternoon Jeff & I went out to Baker Lake to hunt for an outlet.we didn't see much some Indian wigwams a log house & all the skeletons hides & utensils they discard upon departure. Farther up we happened to run into a bear. Heard a big crashing in the bush & that we'd pinch a wild beast or two so I paddled nearer while Jeff adjusted his rifle. Just then the old brute broke thru the bush & trotted along the shore without seeing us. Then he began to swim across & I paddled after him like the dickens. Jeff began to shoot & the first shot the bear saw us & turned for shore. Jeff shot twice more & the third time pinked him under the ear. He flopped and after a few kicks was dead floating on the surface. How we vibrated! We tied a rope around his neck & towed him ashore. Then we got out in about two feet of water & lifted him clear of the water into the canoe. How we did it we'll never know. He weighs about 400 lbs is 6 ft 8 in from nose to hind foot 5 ft. 3 in. from nose to tail 44 inches round abdomen 40 round chest & 30 round neck. Jo says he's the biggest black bear he's ever seen." <br> <br> Perry is an amusing and self-effacing narrator never holding back his complaints about mosquitos or leaking tents and giving each campsite a new and clever name such as: "Camp Hang-over" "Camp Gloom" "Camp Larger Gloom" "Camp Hellgate" and "Camp Where the - are We Or - if I Know." Although he only refers to himself by his last name our Perry is likely Henry Eldridge Perry who roomed with Twombly during their last two years at Yale. A native of Crete Nebraska Perry may also have provided the backwoods expertise for this outing. A delightful glimpse of a substantial trip by four amateur outdoorsmen.

1745WRCAM51842Paris 1745. 2pp. on a folded sheet. In French. Previously folded. Two small holes along folds of blank leaf. Light foxing and tanning. Very good. An entertaining letter written in 1745 by French minister Jean-Frédéric Phélypeaux Comte de Maurepas to scientist Henri-Louis Duhamel du Monceau at Versailles requesting on behalf of Gilles Hocquart the Intendant of New France in Canada that new thermometers and other scientific instruments be sent to Quebec. The author notes that although the old thermometers were graded to measure temperatures down to -15° on the Réaumur scale it had in fact only recently been -27° or -28°. Even if the thermometers had been able to measure temperatures that low according to Maurepas the cold had caused the measuring liquid inside the instruments to separate permanently rendering them useless in any event. He therefore asks that four new Réaumur thermometers capable of measuring down to - 35° be sent along with several astronomical instruments for making navigational observations. unknown books

1854WRCAM38220Washington 1854. 42pp. including statistical tables. String-tied gathered signatures. A few fox marks on the first leaves else near fine. Untrimmed. A rare and lengthy report on a proposed treaty between the United States and Great Britain to drop the duty on Canadian coal imported to the United States. The authors of the report claim that importing coal and iron from Canada would free up American labor and capital to concentrate on other industries. This report presents a thorough statistical analysis of the issues involved. Then as now the free trade argument had many detractors but the authors of this paper favor dropping the coal duties. The United States and Great Britain signed a fisheries treaty in 1854 but a provision on dropping the duties on coal was not included. OCLC locates only three copies of this rare report.
