‎Gordon Westover Doolittle‎

‎1913 Diary of a Lovestruck Flawed University of Toronto Student Son of Prominent Canadian Dr. Perry Ernest Doolittle‎

‎Toronto Ontario Canada. Good with no dust jacket. 1913. Softcover. On offer is the 1913 coming-of-age diary of Gordon Westover Doolittle 1891-1972 of Toronto. Gordon was the son of prominent Canadian Dr. Perry Ernest Doolittle 1861-1933 a surgeon whose true love was transportation. Dr. Doolittle was well-known as the “King of Canadian Roads” and the “Father of the Trans-Canada Highway”. While our diarist did not achieve his father’s level of notoriety his diary exposes a deeply sensitive flawed and glaringly intelligent young man. Through his words the reader is transported back to early 20th Century Toronto in all its pre-war glory. BIO NOTES on Gordon and Percy Doolittle can be found at the end of this summary. Gordon Doolittle kept this diary August 27 through November 7 1913 while he was a second year arts student at the University of Toronto where he pledged Phi Delta Theta. During this time Gordon was coping with challenges in the dating department intense academics pondering the meaning of friendship and taking the lead in beginning a social club. He treats his diary like a friend and writes honestly and regularly. In his first entry he has just returned from a summer working construction on the Transcontinental Railroad in Grant Ontario which is now a ghost town. The next day his entry introduces us to one of the many women in his life. An excerpt follows: “.called on Helen Jackson…We had a fine talk together and at last Helen realizes that I will always feel the same toward her as a brother so we celebrated the fifth anniversary of our fraternity” Aug 28 1913. On August 30 Gordon begins talking about Doris a young woman for whom he pines throughout his diary and who repeatedly rejects his romantic overtones. Excerpts follow: “Doris came home to-day from Prouts Neck…she refused to let me hold her hand and says she must remain an ice box for some time to come” Aug 30 1913. “Doris tried to teach me to do the new dance on the verandah but I do not approve. We danced all evening…Doris objected to seeing me smoking cigarettes…” Sept 6 1913. “.I went down to see Doris and she told me I was not to speak to her or think of her as more than a friend. I wrote and told her that I would not speak but that I could not help thinking and said that my journals this summer were written to her as more than a friend they were wrong for her to have them and that I would like Irene to have them as she shared my love…” Sept 17 1913. “My life has not been very good. Up till three days ago I have smoked. Doris then found out called me a Hypocrit sic and a coward and called off any idea of mine as to more than friendship. I have decided to do Gods will and prove that I am a man and work hard” Nov 8 1913. In late September Gordon begins to focus on the proposal and eventual development of a Social Culture Club he wants to form through the university. Its founding members will be Gordon and his friends. Meetings will be held at his home 619 Sherbourne Street and members are required to agree to a club constitution and give “serious consideration” to the club’s monthly discussion topics. The club would discuss “literature music art religion experiences athletics”. He records their first meeting in early October. In between discussing his studies his love life his social life and his future plans Gordon inadvertently writes a love letter to Toronto dropping in references to places and events that would make any modern-day Torontonian nostalgic. Excerpts follow: “.went out to the Exhibition we had a fine time…we took in the midway and I was nearly sick.saw the grandstand performance…” Sept 2 1913. “.we walked down to the Metropolitan and walked home…we took the car to Reservoir Park and walked to her place for tea…took Doris to church at St. Paul’s…” Sept 7 1913. “Florence drove me downtown to the Royal Alexandra and we saw ‘The Blindness of Virtue’ a fine play on the dangers of not telling children the truth about sexual relations. We walked home. ” Sept 13 1913. “I took Doris to the Strand then tea at Brown Betty. We called for a dress at Eatons and walked home” Oct 11 1913. A particularly touching component of Gordon’s diary is that he transcribes letters he writes for his memories. Notably he spends six pages transcribing a letter that he wrote to his best friend Lillah Worthington on the topic of friendship. He composed the letter to give to her to read while she was on a train headed to Cleveland on holiday. A short excerpt follows: “They say one is judged by his friends and this must be because our character is shown by the choice we make as it is indeed shown by all our actions and what a choice we have! Fat ones thin ones good or bad we can really have any kind of friends we like…” Sept 11 1913. While Gordon only writes for a few months a very fulsome picture of this 21-22 year old man emerges as does a picture of the beautiful city that was his playground. This diary is a gem as it is rare to find male diarists who give so much detail about their feelings and flaws. This journal measures 8.25 inches by 4.25 inches and contains 44 pages. It is 100% complete. The cover is a heavier paper and is in good condition. There is some light staining around the edges. The binding is coming loose but remains mostly in tact and all the pages are in good condition. The handwriting is legible. Overall G. BIO NOTES: Gordon Westover Doolittle: Born September 29 1891 Gordon was a graduate of the St. Andrew’s College Cadet Corps. He attended the University of Toronto and graduated with an Arts degree in 1916. During his tenure at U of T Gordon enlisted in the Canadian Army during World War I. He served in England as a part of the Canadian Expeditionary Force with the Eaton Armoured Car Battery. Following university Gordon worked for Burroughs Adding Machine Co and later with Geo. B Williams selling real estate and insurance in Toronto. He spent time in Britain and married Anne Muriel Lake Doolittle 1890-1952 there in 1916. While there he joined the Great Britain Royal Aero Club Aviators’. He held the title of Lietenant in the Royal Flying Corps. Back in Toronto Anne and Gordon lived in the borough of East York at 22 Glebeholme Avenue. Existing records do not show any children born to the couple. BIO NOTES: Dr Perry Ernest Doolittle 1861-1933 These notes are taken from https: //www.mountpleasantgroup.com/en-CA/General-Information/Our-Monthly-Story/st ory-archives/mount-pleasant-cemetery/PE-Doolittle. Aspx and were written by Mike Filey in the bookMount Pleasant Cemetery: An Illustrated Guide Second Edition Revised and Expanded. “Recognized as "the father of the Trans-Canada Highway" This was the first of many of his cycling creations and between 1881 and 1890 Doolittle won more than fifty cycling trophies including the 1883 Canadian championship. Doolittle also constructed the nation's first motorcycle and it was his deep interest in riding his creations that made him such a strong advocate for improved roads. Doolittle became an even stronger advocate of good roads and with a few friends established the Toronto Automobile Club forerunner of the modern CAA. In addition to advocating what would become years later the Trans-Canada Highway and a uniform set of traffic regulations from coast-to-coast Doolittle was also largely responsible for officials in British Columbia New Brunswick Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island changing their respective province's basic rule of the road from "keep to the left" to "keep to the right." By doing so as Doolittle kept pointing out they too could take advantage of the money being spent by touring American automobile drivers. Doolittle died at his Sherbourne Street residence on December 31 1933 at the age of 72.”; Manuscripts; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 44 pages; Signed by Author . paperback‎

‎Gordon, Thomas [George Washington]‎

‎Another Cordial for Low-Spirits. George Washington’s Copy.‎

‎London: R. Griffiths 1751. From the library of George Washington of this compilation of political and religious essays regarding contemporary issues in Great Britain. Small octavo volume two bound in full contemporary brown calf with a gilt number two and ruling to the spine in six compartments within raised bands double gilt ruling to the front and rear panels turn-ins. From the library of George Washington with his ownership signature to the top right corner of the title page one of the earliest printed books owned by him in his youth. George Washington did not receive a classical education and never studied a foreign language beyond English. Unlike his older brothers who enjoyed more formal schooling he worked to educate himself independently frequently importing books from England to expand his knowledge. By 1783 a detailed catalog of his Mount Vernon library revealed an extensive collection that included both classical and contemporary literature as well as volumes on agriculture history and political thought. It eventually consisted of over 1200 titles countering John Adams' impression "that Washington was not a scholar is certain. That he was too illiterate unlearned unread for his station is equally past dispute." Thomas Gordon was a Scottish writer that was widely read by the American founding fathers greatly influencing their ideas of republicanism in the eighteenth century. "The bulk of the founding fathers' reading apart from history was concerned with political and legal tracts whose main focus was directed toward two subjects---liberty and property---and toward the social constitutional and legal institutions best adapted to the preservation of man's 'sacred' rights in regard to those subjects.there was little disagreement as to the indispensable 18th century writers: they are Charles Danenant John Trenchard Thomas Gordon Bolingbroke and James Burgh" Founding Fathers' Library. Gordon translated the classical authors including Tacitus Sallust and Cicero. Most notably he published Cato's Letters which were "Reprinted hundreds of times in colonial newspapers they were perhaps the most widely read source for arguments for freedom of the press and against arbitrary government power and taxation" Jacobson. The present volume contains essays such as "The True Picture of a Modern Tory" "A Vindication of the Quakers" and "The Creed of an Independent Whig." It is recorded in Lane Inventory of Washington's Library p. 490 as "an additional title not included on the original inventory". This is one of the earliest printed books from Washington's library. Based on the style of the signature it was likely signed near the time of publication when Washington was about twenty years old. The inscription’s upright and compact form featuring a shorter “s†than seen in later examples from the 1750s resembles the handwriting found in his early surveying documents though with less ornamentation than his typical ownership marks. After traveling to Barbados with his brother Lawrence in 1751 Washington assumed management of Mount Vernon following Lawrence’s death from tuberculosis in 1752. It is therefore probable that this book was among the first to enter his library at his newly inherited estate. In his will George Washington bequeathed his library to his nephew Bushrod Washington. The library remained largely intact at Mount Vernon which Bushrod also inherited until his own death in 1829 when it was divided between two of his nephews George Corbin Washington and John Augustine Washington. In 1848 George Corbin Washington sold some 350 books and 450 unbound pamphlets from his portion of the library to Henry Stevens who eventually placed it in the Boston Athenaeum where it remains today as the largest single collection of Washington's books. The part of the library that descended to John Augustine Washington was dispersed at various auction sales between 1876 and 1891 and the present volume has been traced to the 1876 sale of Washingtoniana. In very good condition. Housed in a maroon morocco solander case inside a full morocco clamshell box. As Commander-in-Chief of the Continental Army from 1775 to 1783 George Washington played a critical role in shaping the military and political outcomes of the American Revolutionary War. His leadership was marked not by tactical brilliance alone but by strategic endurance organizational discipline and an acute understanding of the symbolic and practical dimensions of command. Faced with chronic shortages of manpower supplies and financial support Washington focused on sustaining the army through long periods of adversity most notably during the winter encampment at Valley Forge. He emphasized professionalization working closely with figures like Baron von Steuben to impose standardized training and drill procedures. Washington’s decision to engage in a war of attrition rather than direct confrontation with the superior British forces reflected a broader political strategy aimed at maintaining colonial unity and prolonging resistance until foreign aid—particularly from France—could be secured. His leadership during the culminating siege of Yorktown in 1781 conducted in coordination with French forces marked a decisive turning point and demonstrated his ability to integrate diplomatic logistical and military considerations into a coherent wartime strategy.
