Very Good English Paperback. Roy. 8vo. (24 x 17 cm). In English. [2], 21 p. First and only edition of this extremely rare pamphlet documenting the first constitutional and judicial movements in the Islamization of Sudan started in the 1950s Sudanese society and government. "The judicial system of Sudan survived the transfer of power to the independent state with few changes. Independence did, however, bring to the fore conflicts which had been kept under the carpet during the Condominium. The nature of the constitution became one of the most contested issues. The Transition Constitution, adopted 1st January 1956 (Independence Day), formalized a Westminster style of government, but it was never meant to be more than temporary. The debate on the new permanent constitution took many forms. In a long memorandum, Sheikh Hasan Muddathir, the Grand qadi of Sudan (i.e. the head of the sharia division of the judiciary) presented the Islamist position".

In the same hand there is an extensive critique on the second fly leaf "This book contains specimens from the pens of those poets who appeared upon the literary horizon of America prior to 1820. Since then the names of our greatest poets have appeared, and the poetry of today, from its surpassing brilliancy, causes us to lose sight of many of the "gems" that appeared prior to 1820. We might mention the names of Edgar A. Poe, Timwood, Hayes, Meek, Pinckney, Mrs. Margaret J. Preston, as being the leading American poets appearing in this last half of the 19th Century, Mobile, June 1876." A.K.? Manning on margin of p. 64 of volume II.
