In original unclipped pictorial dust jacket. Minor edge wear light insect damage to boards. Dust jacket either trimmed a bit short or originally produced a half-inch shorter than boards. Minor dust-soiling to jacket with minor insect damage to rear flap. Internally clean. Overall very good. The rare autobiographical travel narrative by one of the most important Filipino-American political leaders in history especially notable for retaining the original pictorial dust jacket. Hilario Camino Moncado established the Filipino Federation of America in 1925 in Los Angeles California. It was also known at various times as the Filipino World Federation and the Filipino Crusaders World Army. As one of the fraternal organizations appealing to the small but growing Filipino immigrant community the FFA distinguished itself from competitors by accentuating "clean living" and rules of moral conduct. Moncado earned a law degree and also edited and published Filipino Nation. Through his work Moncado sought to portray the immigrant community as responsible and healthy in contrast to the then-prevalent depictions of them as uneducated gamblers. Much less publicly the FFA developed a set of religious teachings that held Moncado to be the reincarnation of Jesus Christ by way of José Rizal the Filipino patriot executed in the waning days of Spanish rule. Moncado's birthday was changed to make him appear to have been born after Rizal's death so that his identity as Rizal's reincarnation would be more plausible.<br /> <br /> In the present travel memoir Moncado focuses on political and social issues encountered on a trip around the world conveying an impression of worldliness which burnished his reputation within the Filipino-American community. He visits England Holland Germany France Italy Egypt India China Japan and "Home Sweet Home Philippines." A sampling of chapters focus on London his visit to Oxford University the refusal of Germany to pay reparations from the First World War mentioning the German people's and particularly Hitler's stance against paying them any further his visit to the League of Nations "Mussolini - Benevolent Despot or Tyrant" Gandhi and "India's Revolution" China "The Awakening Giant" "Americanized Japan" and the betrayal of the Filipino independence movement by the American Congress.<br /> <br /> OCLC records just eight institutional copies including one in the Philippines one in Singapore and six in the United States at NYPL UC-Davis the University of Hawaii Michigan Washington and Wisconsin.

177650154 black and white snapshots held in place with photograph corners in a patterned fabric covered photograph album. Sizes of the photographs vary from 5 x7.5cm to 8.5 x 12.5cm. Black and white folding map of Burma 34.7 x 24cm loosely inserted two insets on the map show an elephant carrying teak a mahout on his back and a small map showing Burma's location within the region. Although the photographs are not individually captioned the album is divided into sections titled in white ink. Some blank leaves towards the rear of the album a separate section of 10 photographs titled "Burma & China" fills the last leaves. Six photographs are evenly browned all others are in excellent condition. A very interesting photograph album in excellent condition. A fascinating photographic record of events on the crucial Burma Road in southwestern China during and immediately after the Pacific War. An inscription on the final leaf gives the name John Barry Williams and the date 6/23/42 to 1/15/46. <br> <br>The Burma Road was constructed in 1936-1937 mainly to enable the allies to send material to China which was then at war with Japan. After the occupation of Burma by Japan in 1942 the flow of goods was cut until 1945 when in the last months of the war allied troops reconnected the transport corridor from Burma to China. Meanwhile war materiel continued to be transported by plane between Yunnan in China and India over the section of eastern Himalayas known as 'The Hump'. <br> <br>The owner of this album appears to have been a US serviceman stationed at Tsuyung Airfield in the Chinese province of Yunnan - the main transport hub at the Chinese end of the Hump route. The first photos in the album show scenes of the Burma Road and the Salween River on the border of Yunnan and Burma. There are a number of fine black-and-white photos of everyday life in the area including a village street a local salt mine a farmer ploughing with water buffaloes a street scene in Tsyuyung town women and children repairing the road and a train of pack ponies taking goods to market along the Burma Road in China. There are also images of a serviceman named Washburn holding up a captured Japanese flag. <br> <br>The following series of photos is labelled '780 Engineer Petroleum Distribution Co. Pipeline India-Burma-China 1944 and 1945' and shows scenes of the contruction of this vital fuel link with photos shot in India in the jungles of Burma and in southwestern China. The photos give a vivid image of the magnitude of the construction task showing teams camping out in rugged terrain and crossing rivers on makeshift bridges. A final group of photos labelled 'Burma and China' includes shots of a parachute drop from a plane and an image of allied soldiers with local villagers. A small map of Burma and Tibet published in 1948 has been loosely inserted in the front of the volume. . unknown

Seventh Edition. 237 x 145. 9 3/8 x 5 3/4". 3 p.l. vii 1 viii 1 6-236 pp. <br/> Publisher's blue paper boards and brown paper backstrip original printed paper label EDGES UNTRIMMED AND MOSTLY UNOPENED. A Large Paper Copy. Just the faintest evidence of foxing at very beginning and very end corners with slight wear as always superficial chafing to covers but AN EXCEPTIONALLY FINE COPY the binding remarkably clean and with no significant signs of use and the wide-margined text unusually fresh and nearly as white as snow.<br/> <br/> In its original boards untrimmed and partly unopened this is a wonderful contemporary copy of an important later edition of the magnum opus of a man whose name came to be synonymous with road improvement. DNB tells us that Scottish-born John Loudon McAdam 1756-1836 was "the first systematic builder and administrator of roads in Britain since Roman times" and his impact was so great that his name lives on to the present day in connection with paved surfaces. The use of "macadam" or "macadamized" to mean a good road surface began in the 1820s and continued through the invention of the automobile when dusty roads began to be improved with tar. At first "tar" was combined with "macadam" producing the term "tarmacadam" when referring to these improved roads; eventually this became shortened to "tarmac" which still is broadly understood to refer to road surfaces and more specifically to airport runways. Our author first published "Remarks on the Present System of Road Making" in 1816 to deliver his suggestions for an improved paving method following his extensive survey of the roads of Britain. His system--in which roads were built with a cambered surface for drainage using layers of consistent sizes of stones and gravel--soon caught on both within Britain and abroad. The present seventh edition features a variety of new material much of which deals with McAdam's efforts to encourage legislation for improving roads; this includes a new preface and advertisement as well as the "Minutes of Evidence" given by witnesses regarding turnpike improvement from March to May 1819 and the report of the Select Committee of the House of Commons on McAdam's system from June 1823. As evidenced by its appearance in multiple printings McAdam's "Remarks" was a widely used book but our remarkably well-preserved copy in its publisher's boards--obviously and decidedly--was not.

189840873N.P.: Sentinel and Gazette Steam Press 1851. 1898. 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" in light peach wrappers though missing the front wrapper. 15 pp. Illustrations. Map. Although it eventually became a transcontinental railroad the railroad that became the Milwaukee Road began as the Milwaukee and Waukesha Railroad whose goal was to link the developing Lake Michigan port city of Milwaukee Wisconsin with the Mississippi River. The company incorporated in 1847 but changed its name to the Milwaukee and Mississippi Railroad in 1850 before construction began. A report to the Board of Directors explaining that the railroad is not completed to Waukesha as was expected and offering reasons for the delay in its completion. "Considering our small beginning only a little over one year ago - that we have relied solely on the resources of the people of Wisconsin for the means of prosecuting this enterprise - without seeking foreign aid - with only the small contributions of each of our thousand Stockholders and the credits based on the securities of our city and citizens we have in that time completed the grade of our Road for twenty and a half miles laid the Track and brought into actual use the half of that distance - and will have the whole completed and in successful operation by the middle of February next." Information on estimated and actual costs of the First Division extending the road from Milwaukee to Waukesha. It appears that actual costs far exceeded estimates "but that has been the result of peculiar circumstances under which the work has been performed and by the adoption of a rail of greater weight than that estimated." It was determined that the contractors to whom jobs had been given at lower costs were inexperienced and inefficient resulting in their work having to be re-done. Furthermore the delay was caused by some stockholders not promptly paying the small installment of only 5% every three months thus leaving a deficit. Also a bank in a marsh sunk and had to be built back up. Th cost of constructing the first twenty and 1/2 miles is only $9495 per mile. Report ends with the reassurance that the Road will be complete by February and if weather permits perhaps even earlier. 8 1/4" x 21 1/2" map of the Milwaukee and Mississippi Rail-Road.
