xvi, 221 pages. Footnotes and Selected Bibliography. Generously illustrated with black and white reproductions of archival photos plus many recent colour photos. Published upon the occasion of the 100th anniversary of official relations between Switzerland and Western Canada in 2013. "In the nineteenth century Switzerland was not a wealthy country. Emigration movements on a larger scale began especially during times of crisis in the 19th century and at the beginning of the 20th century. One of the main destinations for the Swiss emigrants was the North American continent. Canada played its role as a major destination from the beginning of the 20th century to the 1930's." - Preface. Clean, bright and unmarked with very light wear. An excellent copy. Book
Sm. 8vo., First Edition, with an engraved portrait frontispiece after Eckstein, engraved and printed titles (the former by Heath) and a folding plate containing twenty-two humorous depictions of London's 'tavern clubs', frontispiece, engraved title and folding plate very lightly damp-marked; mid-nineteenth century half morocco, marbled boards, gilt back, marbled edges, marbled endpapers, covers a little age-marked, corners lightly bruised, very neatly rebacked with old backstrip laid down and original endpapers preserved, a very good, tight copy of a very scarce work. The frontispiece portrays Christopher Brown, Secretary to the 'Free & Easy Counsellors under the Cauliflower' who were predominantly (and most appropriately) booksellers. The folding plate affords us such delights as 'The Belle Sauvage', 'The Tanner of Joppa' and 'George and the Dragon'. Even then, it seems, the tavern was a haven of tranquillity for the hard-pressed professional male. SCARCE. We can trace no other edition, though a popular work with the title 'Tavern Anecdotes and Sayings' was compiled for Charles Hindley and issued in several editions during the 70s and 80s.
