‎Eleanor L MacRae‎

‎1940s Pair of Diaries Handwritten by a Wealthy Toronto Area Woman‎

‎Greater Toronto Area Canada. Good with no dust jacket. 1944. Hardcover. Offering two 1940s handwritten diaries by 61-year-old Eleanor L. Macrae which provide an outstanding look at life in urban Canada during and immediately following World War II. Macrae's entries are lengthy and detailed portraying daily life during and after the war as part of a well-off family for whom service to “King and Country” was considered a given. Inside the front cover Macrae has noted the names of her family members who were at war: her son Donald serving in the Royal Navy HMS Diadem and his two brothers serving in the Royal Canadian Navy Bill on HMCS Penetang and John Bubs on HMCS Sudbury. “Damp & Cold -- threatening rain or snow. Up to shop in the morning and busy taking down Christmas tree -- went to Gwyn Cornell’s for tea with Lallie Pullen. Delighted to hear from her of Hugh having been awarded the OBE for his services in the Navy. Sis Mont & I went to see ‘Young Mr. Pitt’ at the Gregory” January 5 1944. “Very happy letters from Bub & Gilly. Having a wonderful time in Victoria. Bub is to be in Vancouver working on Victory Loans and making speeches in war plants etc. Filling in his time til his ship is ready” April 18 1944. Despite having three family members in combat she writes the following: “Thanksgiving Day . Mont had planned for an all day sail but as the weather looked bad they called it off . Had our Thanksgiving dinner. . A very happy day & a lot to be thankful for” October 9 1944. The 1946-50 diary is actually a hardcover lined notebook in which she made dated entries. It begins on March 1 1946. The entries cover the time period of March 1946 through December 1950. Macrae writes in a chronological order but entries are not made every day. Often there are gaps of several days or weeks. However taken as a whole they provide an excellent overview of Macrae’s life in the immediate aftermath of WWII. “Up early getting ordering etc done. Pat & Sis looking at farms in afternoon. Had an early lunch then Mont & I off to Toronto to Gordon Wright’s wedding. Enjoyed it very much. Saw a lot of the younger relatives from Ancaster. Afterwards Mont & I had dinner at the King Edward & came home” March 2 1946. “Bill & Holly married seven years ago today in Port-of-Spain Trinidad. Went over & looked after the children while H went to have her hair done. Children stayed all night with us as Holly and Bill went to the Yacht Club ball at H. M. C. S. York” February 18 1949. “Went to Toronto on 12: 20 bus. Shopped & home with Mont. Fun prowling around with my Christmas cheque to spend! Got a new clothes dryer. The tumbler type. $1850! Awful price but I always wanted one” January 161950. At the back of the journal are four pages listing a variety of dividend cheques received. Ephemera includes transaction receipts for stock purchases birth and death announcements and photographs among other things. Eleanor L. Macrae was born in 1883 in the Hamilton Ontario area of Canada. Through family and marriage she was related to prominent members of Ontario’s early society. The Heritage a large stone mansion whose ruins now belong to the Hamilton Conservation Authority was constructed by a direct ancestor George Leith. The mansion eventually passed to Leith’s daughter Alma Leith who married the grandson of a Scottish Earl Stair Dick-Lauder. Alma Dick-Lauder wrote historical articles for the Hamilton Spectator which were later published in book form. There is a photograph of Alma Dick-Lauder in the ephemera accompanying these journals. Macrae’s husband was Albert Montye Macrae from Oakville Ontario a wealthy community west of Toronto. His family was successful in business and finance and Montye was no exception. Eleanor’s journal records a number of stock and bond transactions carried out through Macrae & Company a brokerage firm in Toronto. The 1944 diary measures 8.5 inches by 5.5 inches contains 365 pages and is 100 percent complete. The cover binding and pages are all in good condition. The 1946-1950 diary measures 9.5 inches x 5.5 inches is 160 pages and 95 percent complete. The cover is in fair condition but the binding and pages are good.

‎Elected Secretaries Of The Ever Ready Guild Of Weymouth, Ma‎

‎1934-1964 Pair of Manuscript Minute Books Representing 24 Years of a Boston-Area Women’s Church Charity Organization’s Activities Members Finances and Social Engagements‎

‎Weymouth Massachusetts. Good with no dust jacket. Hardcover. On offer is a pair of club meeting minutes covering a total of 24 years of the Ever Ready Guild a women’s charity club that was initiated in 1928 at the East Weymouth Congregational Church in Weymouth Massachusetts 15 miles south of Boston. These minute books cover the periods of 1934-1944 and 1950-1964. Newspaper records between the 1930s-1960s show that as well as the Weymouth guild there were Ever Ready Guilds operating out of churches in Ohio Illinois Maine Indiana Delaware Nebraska and Pennsylvania. In the 1936-1937 Annual Report Guild secretary Katherine Wright discusses their general activities: “.to promote the spiritual and social life of the young women of the church most of our members are active in the Sunday School and the Choir we donate to the basket at Christmas time which Mr. Newton distributes also the Red Cross the Pilgrim association we contribute our time to the LSU and also to the fair and we pledge $125 to our Church which we earn in various ways…” Dec 1936. These minute books provide a remarkable look into the impressive structure and organization of a 100% women-led long-running charitable club. The record-keeping is impeccable with each meeting being recorded in intimate detail and the names of members the executive officers their activities and finances being meticulously kept. The guild’s activities represent a ‘deep dive’ into the social fabric of the time from the interactions among guild members to the many locations they would visit and how they would allocate their funds. From a genealogy perspective these books include the names and addresses of hundreds of Weymouth and area women born in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Each meeting’s minutes are long and detailed so excerpts only give a general sense of the type of content: “.Treasurer reported a balance of $39.84. Ethel Sylvester reported on new members. Ruth Newton reported that the Norwegian Glee Club would not be available until fall. Louise Williams reported that $40.60 was realized on the rummage sale. The president asked that a note of thanks be sent to Mr. Reidy who kindly allowed us the use of his vacant store. The sewing for the hospital was turned in to Helen Tirrell and she gave out dish towels to be hemmed” May 14 1940. “.Motions made and seconded the Guild pay $1.20 for a square in the Social Union quilt. Plans for the Xmas party to be held Dec 28…Each member to bring a 10 cent gift also a gift for our mystery palls to the Christmas party…” Nov 23 1943. “.Thelma Chalmers informed us that the Lincoln Ensemble Choir from Brockton would be at our church…This is a colored choir and very well worth hearing. It was decided to have a miscellaneous sale on Feb 14th at the home of Ruth Burrill each member to bring two articles to the value of 50 cents…Berdice Gibson was welcomed as a member of the Guild…” Jan 21 1956. As mentioned there are hundreds of women’s names recorded in these books representing members over the years. Some members seem to have been “lifers” active in the guild from 1934 through the 1960s. A tiny sampling of the many women referenced include: S. Evelyn Lindquist 1896-1977 Ebba Wise 1898-1984 Cora Shores 1906-1969 Mollie Wrin 1903-1995 Marion Fulton 1907-1998 Katherine Wright 1897-1971 Maud Averill 1903-1987 Gladys Robinson 1902-1978 Hazel Haley 1904-1982 Doris Briggs 1905-1995 Olive Briggs 1900-1989 Winnifred Blanchard 1917-1989 Meredith Murch 1917-1980 Beryl Wentworth 1903-1983 among many others. This pair of manuscripts would be an excellent addition to a collection related to the Boston area Christian charities women’s social clubs or women in leadership positions. It would be an exceedingly handy tool for one interested in Massachusetts genealogy or history in general. The books measure 10.5x8 inches and 9.5x8 inches respectively. They are both in overall good condition with normal age wear particularly with a peeling and cracking spine on the earlier book. Pages are all in tact. Both books are about 95% complete. The 1934-1944 book contains nearly 298 pages of manuscript minutes members lists and financial recordings while the 1950-1964 book contains nearly 295 pages of the same.

‎PARIS, Fayard - In-8 - broché - couverture illustrée - 659 pages - Bel exemplaire - envoi rapide et soigné‎

‎Il était grand temps de rendre à un intellectuel d'exception, philosophe et homme politique, la place éminente qui lui revient. Grâce à Elisabeth et Robert Badinter, c'est chose faite. Leur Condorcet répare une injustice trop longtemps perpétrée à l'endroit d'un homme éblouissant qui, justement, a consacré sa vie à combattre toutes les iniquités.Claude Servan-Schreiber, Marie-France.Intellectuel, philosophe, défenseur des Noirs, des Juifs, des femmes, abolitionniste convaincu et militant, et accompagné dans la vie par une femme aussi belle qu'intelligente, la célèbre Sophie à la tête bien faite, Condorcet ne pouvait qu'attirer le ministre de la Justice qui fit voter l'abolition de la peine de mort, et son épouse, philosophe, féministe et passionnée par le Siècle des Lumières.Michèle Gazier, Télérama.Que devient « un intellectuel en politique » selon le sous-titre de ce livre ? Est-ce une pensée qui s'altère ? Le Condorcet des premiers temps, celui d'Elisabeth Badinter, est-il le même que le révolutionnaire de 1789 étudié par l'ancien ministre de la Justice ? La question qui traverse ce livre n'a rien de théorique. Elle est intime, brûlante même. Et la réponse que donne ce Condorcet est lumineuse.Marianne Alphant, Libération.Les auteurs, sans doute parce qu'ils sont deux, se gardent d'intervenir en leur nom. Ils font oeuvre d'historiens, non d'essayistes... Mais quel beau travail, sobre, fouillé, habité de discrets élans, d'évidentes tendresses !Bertrand Poirot-Delpech, Le Monde.
