London 1864. 162pp. Folio. String-tied as issued. A bit tanned some small chips at the edges. Very good. The Thomas W. Streeter copy with his pencil notes on the titlepage. This House of Commons working paper is a continuation of their return dated July 10 1863 on the subject of constructing a telegraph line to British Columbia and the Pacific. The Hudson's Bay Company unsurprisingly was intimately involved in the machinations for the building of the line. They had made an agreement with the Canadian government to build the telegraph line from the Red River to the Pacific themselves but when they failed to do so a group of English bankers proposed to step in and do the job. The papers included herein provide much information on the qualities of the land between Lake Superior and British Columbia and the need for swift communication throughout and across the vast region. Also included is a memorial from the people of the Red River Settlement discussing their urgent need for the telegraph. <br> <br> The Streeter copy sold to Nebenzahl for $30 in 1969 and was still in his stock when the Reese Company bought the last of it in 2013; here it is.

Montreal 1900. Very good. 26 x 84 cm. B&w with CPR tracks shown in red. Left edge has small tears and chips. 6 vertical folds. Inset shows worldwide routes. Table of comparative distances. <br/><br/>From 1897 until 1923 Canadian Bank Note C. was a unit of the New Yorkbased American Bank Note Company. It became a privately-held company when it was acquired by Ottawa businessman Charles Worthen. It's obviously best known for holding the contract with the Bank of Canada to supply it with Canada's banknotes. Beginning in 1976 Douglas Arends slowly acquired control of the company and it's now based in Ottawa. unknown
