18877591Lakefield Ontario Canada: Grand Trunk Railway 1887-1897. First Edition. Hardcover. Oblong octavo 28 x 15 cm. Bound in three-quarters leather with marbled paper-covered boards. A printed paper title label reading "G. T. R. / Ticket Requisition Book" is affixed to the front board. The book consists of unnumbered leaves each perforated vertically to create a stub and a removable requisition form. The left-hand portion the stub which remained in the book is divided into five columns: To What Station Class Description Quantity Required Quantity Received. The right-hand portion which was detached and sent to the Audit Department is divided into seven columns for inventory and supply: To What Station Class Description Last Number Issued Last Progressive Number on Hand Tickets on Hand Quantity Supplied. Approximately three-quarters of the leaves have been used with the remaining quarter at the rear being clean and unused. Fair only though internally very good. Both front and rear boards are detached. The text-block however remains sound and tightly sewn. The three-quarters leather spine and corners are heavily worn rubbed and scuffed. The paper title label remains intact and legible. Internally the manuscript entries are clear and legible throughout with the final quarter of unused leaves are remaining remarkably clean and bright for their age. A complete and rich primary source document despite the binding flaws. <br/><br/>¶ A rare survival of the mundane yet essential paperwork which powered one of Canada's most important railway network vital for commerce tourism and settlement in the Kawartha Lakes region. The manuscript requisitions dating from January 20 1887 to April 5 1897 provide a remarkable ten year window into the station's activities. All are dated in manuscript with some requisitions marked "Nil" each tracking the regular flow of passengers along the line connecting the region to commercial centres such as Peterborough and Toronto etc. More significantly entries record period fares and charges for additional baggage among other details. A rare and highly ephemeral primary source for the history of the Kawartha region and to the railway line's role in connecting rural Canada. <br /> Grand Trunk Railway hardcover

13455Both documents printed by 'Meredith and Reeve Lincoln's Inn For Wilkinson Hull.' Both dated 1836. The two items are uniform in layout on folio bifoliums with the text covering the whole of the recto of the first leaf and the details printed lengthwise on the reverse of the second. Both in good condition and folded into the customary packets. An early example of nimbyism rather rich coming from a banker. The petition begins: 'In the House of Lords. To the Right Honourable the Lords Spiritual and Temporal of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland in Parliament assembled The Humble Petition of Robert Raikes of Welton House in the Parish of Welton in the East Riding of the County of York Esquire Sheweth .' Raikes's objection is 'THAT the circumstance of a Rail Road thus passing through such an Estate as your Petitioner's would to any Purchaser be a strong ground of objection and must necessarily detract from the value of the fee simple to a serious extent.' The other document is headed: In the Matter of the Hull and Selby Railway Bill. Reasons on the part of Robert Raikes Esq. against the Bill.' Following twenty numbered reasons the document states 'THAT Mr. Raikes is possessed of a large Mansion House rebuilt about 15 years ago at a Cost including the Out-buildings of nearly £20000 connected with a large and valuable Estate of upwards of 3000 Acres and three other considerable Mansions on the Property Mr. Raikes' House commanding an extensive and picturesque view over the Humber and the opposite Coast of Lincolnshire and no public Road intervening between him and the Humber and it is now proposed by this Bill to carry the Hull and Selby Railway between the House and the River in a line visible from the House passing through nearly a mile of his property.' The conclusion reads: 'AN APPEAL is therefore made to Parliament to protect private property from the unrelenting encroachment of speculation and a Land Owner from being compelled by the Legislature contrary to the General Principles of Law to sell his Property for the purpose of Establishing a Nuisance to himself from which Others are to derive the gain.' No copies of either item traced either on COPAC or OCLC WorldCat. Raikes was unsuccessful in his efforts: the Hull and Selby Railway opened in 1840. Both documents printed by 'Meredith and Reeve, Lincoln's Inn, For Wilkinson, Hull.' Both dated 1836. unknown
