1915177554Edinburgh: John Grant 1915. Updated edition presentation copy from the editor and his wife inscribed on her calling card mounted to the front pastedown "With all best wishes". This new and revised edition of one of Muir's famous Middle East histories was prepared by Thomas Hunter Weir. Margaret Weir translated several books on Islamic history including the main source used to update this edition. Sir William Muir 1819-1905 first released The Caliphate in 1891 which quickly became popular and ran to many editions. This edition incorporates new scholarship including Bell's volume of Greek papyri in the British Museum 1893 and Julius Wellhausen's Das arabische Reich und sein Sturz 1902. Margaret Weir 1865-1928 translated Wellhausen's book in 1927 under the title The Arab Kingdom and its Fall. Her translation was praised as an "excellent rendering of the German text" and "a work of high literary order" Bukhsh p. 40. She also proof-read the present volume and corrected the index p. ix. Muir spent most of his career serving as a colonial administrator in India holding the governorship of the North-Western Provinces between 1868 and 1874. His publications on Islamic history "were certainly controversial but because he was the first British scholar to attempt a popular interpretation of Islamic history based on study of the Arabic sources they were widely regarded as authoritative during the colonial era" ODNB. He was elected as president of the Royal Asiatic Society in 1884 and awarded the society's triennial jubilee gold medal in 1903. This work traces the history of the Rashidun Umayyad and Abbasid Caliphates from the death of Muhammad and the election of Abu Bakr in 632 to the fall of the Mamluk Sultanate in 1517. "It is however a really trustworthy and scholarly book. Muir sticks closely to his title-subject the Caliphate itself and does not allow himself to diverge to the history of the numerous Mahommedan dynasties which gradually sapped the Caliphs' power. For the first century of Moslem rule however it forms. the best and most readable authority we possess and no historical library can dispense with it" The Spectator. Octavo. Four colour folding maps diagrams in text. With 3 pp. of publisher's advertisements to rear. Original red cloth spine lettered in gilt covers ruled in blind top edge brown others untrimmed. Spine lightly sunned spine ends bumped maps lightly foxed otherwise bright: a very good copy. S.

193428768Chicago IL: Tower Magazines Inc. 1934. A fine copy. 28768. Large octavo single issue pictorial wrappers. Fiction by Ellery Queen Vincent Starrett Stuart Palmer Louis Golding Maurice Renard and others. A large format densely illustrated bedsheet-sized pulp. "The fiction emphasized the woman's point of view was often narrated by a woman and featured as many feminine as masculine detectives. In the rear of the magazine flowered all the usual departments of a more conventional woman's publication . That this magazine would publish much fiction of interest seems improbable. But without effort it contrived to be superb. ILLUSTRATED DETECTIVE selected outstanding writers who had made their mark in the 1920s and mingled these with rising writers of the 1930s. Over the years the magazine would publish work by top names in the mystery field including Ellery Queen Stuart Palmer Sax Rohmer Arnold Kummer Hulbert Footner Vincent Starrett and H. Bedford-Jones. The fiction was polished often strongly compressed and good enough for a large amount of it to appear later between book covers. The magazine appeared monthly for almost six years sixty-nine issues at ten cents a copy. After three years the title was changed to THE MYSTERY MAGAZINE . Covers were tasteful bright and uneventful relying heavily on the faces of self-confident women. Inside was an astonishing amount of material: eight to ten pieces of fiction four or more crime-fact articles and up to ten continuing departments about half of these slanted directly toward women. When the magazine was at its peak in the early 1930s it offered material carefully calculated to appeal to most tastes and both sexes . MYSTERY was as meticulously planned as an orchestral score. Its careful variations played upon every shade of reader interest. It was consciously polished self-consciously feminine. A curious pared sound rang in its fiction as if the stories had been edited with a chain saw but the prose flashed with a bright nickel glitter. Slick the magazine may have been and often over illustrated but it was also considerably interesting and for years excellent." - Cook Mystery Detective and Espionage Magazines pp. 287-90.

Butterworths London UK 1990. First Edition. 1st Printing. 339 pages. Moderate general wear. Scribbling on half-title page. Previous owner ink stamps. Size: 9.1 x 6 x 0.9. Many people including potential investors who have heard of securitisation but not experienced it are put off by its complexity. Undoubtedly the transactions are complicated and demanding but the objective of this book is to remove some of the mystery from the process. It has been written with the aim of providing a better understanding of what securitisation can provide and what it means on a practical basis. The book commences with an overview of the development of securitisation to date. An analysis of legal and tax aspects follows to enable readers to understand the manner in which legal theory and commercial objectives can be reconciled. Three chapters then discuss from the perspective of different types of lenders how securitisation can help. After a review by a merchant banker of the market the rating agencies explain their approach to asset-backed debt. An insurance company and a professional trustee then explain their separate views of securitisation followed by a discussion of various current issues which are being hotly debated in the United Kingdom. The accounting treatment of securitisation is then analysed before the securitisation of non-mortgage assets is discussed. The penultimate chapter considers securitisation in France and its new legal regime before the final chapter discusses the pressures and trends which are likely to develop in international financial markets in the coming months and years. The appendices contain a summary of all public UK transactions to date the Bank of England's paper on loan transfers and securitisation reproduced with their kind permission and the Statement of Practice on transfers of mortgages issued by the United Kingdom Department of Environment reproduced with their kind permission.
