Revolution from 1789 to 1906. Documents Selected and Edited with Notes and Introductions
Postgate Raymond
Harper Torchbooks New York 1962 First Edition
Soft Cover 399 pages. Book is in Very good condition throughout. The only exception is a small inscription to the inside page. The moral of the documents in this book, if there is one, appears to me to be that the revolution is to be regarded as one continuous stream, not as a series of contradictions, that the Declaration of Independance and the Rights of man are as revolutionary and as valid as anything that marx or any later revolutionary wrote.

A Serious Influx of Jews: A History of Jewish Welfare in Victoria
Benjamin, Rodney
ISBN: 1864487321
Allen & Unwin St Leonards, New South Wales 1998 First Paperback Edition
8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall Paperback 800 g; XVIII, 462 pages, indexed. Includes appendices, bibliography, notes; illustrated with black-and-white photographs and with numerous tables etc. In paperback binding with cover painting by Kuba Blacher. The book shows no signs of damage. Rodney Benjamin tells how a small community organised itself to find accommodation, work, financial assistance and English language training for the four major influxes of Jewish immigrants between the 1920s in the 1950s. Out of the organisations which formed to meet these demands grew a multifaceted ethnic welfare agency. Benjamin traces the development of an organisation, run almost entirely by volunteers to profess to staff welfare agency supported by a small army of volunteers. He follows the change in focus from migrant settlement to a broad-based community service which provides care for the disabled and the elderly, job skills training and comprehensive counselling services. The many power and ideologically struggles are examined, as is the position of the organisation in the wider context of Australia Society. -- rear panel blurb Australia -- Jewish Very Good

The Industrial Revolution in Shropshire
TRINDER, Barrie
Phillimore & Co. Ltd London 1981 First Thus
8vo Hard Cover Publishers original red cloth with gilt lettering to spine. Dustwrapper: clipped, chipping to top of spine, now protected in Brodart. Map endpapers, no inscriptions. 308pp including index, plus 24pp b/w photographs, illustrated with b/w line drawings throughout text, pages clean and bright in firm binding. When first published in 1973, few people other than industrial historians appreciated the importance and significance of the Iron-bridge Gorge and the Shropshire coalfield. Since 1973 research into the history of the Shropshire coalfield has increased greatly and our understanding of the dramatic events and their causes enlarged on many fronts. A new edition was essential to incorporate the results of that research. Some chapters have been completely re-written and much new and richly detailed information has been added to the rest. The opportunity has been taken to re-set the work in a larger and more attractive format and to add many illustrations, making this new edition, in effect, a new book. Very Good

Portrait of The Wordsworth Country
Sands, Ronald
Robert Hale Limited London 1984 First Edition
8vo Hard Cover Publishers original blue cloth with gilt lettering on brown panel to spine. Dustwrapper: unclipped, protected in Brodart. White endpapers, no inscriptions. 207pp including index, plus 24pp b/w photographs, pages clean and bright in firm binding. This is the first comprehensive guide to the beautiful and still unspoilt country, which provided a constant source of inspiration to one of our greatest and best-loved poets. Throughout his life William Wordsworth maintained a close connection with all the many parts of Cumbria in which he worked, lived and journeyed. From infancy in Penrith to schooldays at Haweshead he explored the region, particularly the shores and islands of Windermere. Vacations from Cambridge were spent in the Lake District, on one occasion as a 'pedestrian tour' with Coleridge. As Distributor of Taxes he visited the most remote spots, such as beautiful Black Comb and Cold Fell. With his sister Dorothy he settled at Dove Cottage in Grasmere, and with his wife Mary he made his final home at Rydal Mount. Very Good/Fine

Amalgamated Engineering Union: SOUVENIR: 25th Anniversary 1945
Amalgamated Engineering Union
Amalgamated Engineering Union Sydney 1946 First Edition
4t Hard Cover Publishers original green cloth with black lettering to front cover. Minor rubbing to corners. White endpapers, no inscriptions. 379pp illustrated with b/w photographs, pages clean and bright in firm binding. This publication is to commemorate the twenty-fifth anniversary of the inauguration of the Amalgamated Engineering Union on 1st July, 1920. The book was compiled to remind members of a debt to our predecessors and to record appreciation of the ideals, aspirations and achievements inherited from them. They may have contented themselves with a review of the good work in the past twenty-five years, however this would not tell the story of the A.E.U., for the roots lie far deeper in trade union history than in the short span of a quarter of a century. The origins of the engineering unions are indefinite. They are found in the 18th century with the struggle of the workers for the right to organize. The minutes of the Meeting on October 8, 1852, aboard the Frances Walker, relating to the formation of the first Australian Branch of the Amalgamated Society of Engineers stands as the birth certificate of the Amalgamated Engineering Union. It serves as a good starting point from which to trace the history of the Union as the Amalgamated Society of Engineers from 1851 to 1920, and later as the A.E.U. A very good copy. Very Good

Minor bumping to extremities and small spotting to cloth, otherwise very good. 208pp plus 8pp publishers list. Black endpapers. Previous owners elaborate bookplate pasted to inside of front board. 5 plates including frontis showing sketch map of the upper part of the Dora Valley and the Italian slope of Mont Blanc. Contents include: The Dora Valley; Mont de la Saxe; The Val Ferrex; The Glacier de Miage. 'In this book I have in the main followed the same lines as in its predecessors - Random Recollections of Woodland, Fen and Hill, and Woodside, Burnside, Hillside and Marsh - which have been received by the public as well as by the press in a manner that is very gratifying to the author. The book deals with the Italian side of the Mont Blanc range, a locality that deserves to be better known, than it appears to be, to visitors to the Alps. No attempt has been made o go deeply into scientific technicalities; but I have tried to explain as simply and clearly as possible the scientific bearings of some of the many facts which came under my notice during a holiday spent in that region last year. That no written words can do justice to the magnificent scenery to be found on the Italian slopes of Mont Blanc and in its lovely valleys no one is more painfully aware than myself, and my book must be looked upon as descriptive only as far as description help the reader more or less thoroughly to understand the conditions under which the phenomena discussed occur. At the same time, to lovers of Nature in her varying mood, be they tourists, photographers or naturalists, no more charming and delightful holiday can be imagined, than one spent in exploring the valleys which open up between the mountains around Courmayeur.' quoted from authors preface. A magnificent rare collectors edition. Very Good
