Tovey, John
THE 1859 AND 1866 HANDWRITTEN MANUSCRIPT STEAMSHIP TRAVEL DIARY OF JOHN TOVEY FROM ENGLAND TO SOUTH AFRICA AND BACK 7 YEARS LATER
Very Good. 1859. Hardcover. On offer is a fascinating handwritten diary kept by a Mr. John Tovey. The diary consists of actually two different voyages with the first trip having been written while on board the steamer the "Golden Fleece". The second recorded trip was while on board the screw steamship the "Hydaspes". It's not often you find diaries that have such detailed ship board entries as this one does. Mr. Tovey was a superb diarist. The first trip takes place in 1859 of which he and his wife Ellen leave for Algoa Bay in South Africa from their home in Gravesend England. There are 82 handwritten long pages about each specific trip. They leave Gravesend on January 31st 1859 and are on the sea for almost 3 months. The second trip 7 years later starts off on May 26 1866 and it's a two month voyage that our same man takes only this time with his young son. It seems to be the trip home from South Africa to England. It appears she has died because at one point he alludes to wanting to be with her in heaven. He does seem to be a bit depressed on the trip home. These particular entries go on for about 95 pages. The entries are not just one lined entries they are entire pages. Some of the pages are perhaps only ½ full but most of them are entire pages. He not only writes down his deep feelings but talks about the ship itself the food the other passengers the soldiers on board the whales sited the other ships sited the weather hurricanes his very sick wife deaths on board his "naughty" little boy his feelings of inadequacy because of his social status and so much more. Here are just a very few snippets; 1859 Voyage to South Africa "About 10 O'clock there was a sail in sight. As soon as we got near enough to her the Captain ordered our signal that is the British Flag. He soon discovered it and he run up his which was the Norwegian Flag. Our Captain asked him what his name was it was The Solade from Cardiff bound to Havana and had been out 11 days. He had not been able to see the sun so was anxious to know his position. It appears as if that is a common thing to state one another's position
.My wife has been very sick indeed. I wished some times it had been me instead of her. While dressing I heard a tremendous crash and opening the cabin door I beheld the saloon strode with the tea things or rather the fragments of them. They was carried away by the steward and some more brought out on the table
Having a steady breeze and all in good spirits because of the shift in the wind one of the passengers got out his gun and amused himself by shooting some of the sea gulls. In the afternoon we spoke with a requisition baroque. Some of the other passengers wished to have a shot at something so the Captain got a bottle and tied a piece of string to it and threw it over board so that it was a very good mark but none of us could hit it on account of it's drifting about. After that we saw a Portuguese Man of War or Naturalist. It was a beautiful creature to look at but not to handle. The Captain caught it but it stung him very bad indeed
.We went to the other end of the vessel to see the porpoise it being the first time that we had been that end of the vessel where the sailors sleep called the forecastle. One of the sailors came and chalked our shoes. At first we wondered what the meaning of it was and I was given to understand that we had been trespassing and must pay our farthing and those that would not had to be strapped down to the Bon Split until they did
.After tea we all went on deck to see the supposed Neptune. As we crossed the line that night he was to board us. When all at once a voice was heard to say "Sail Ahead". When then was a clamor about that the said Neptune was under our bows. Then there was a few more questions asked when he made his appearance in his costume dressed in sheep skin with a blue cap and a spear in his hand. The question was asked him what he wanted He said that he wanted to see the Captain for to see if he had any of his children on board and much more on that
.We had another sheep die thrown overboard. A very good bait for the sharks. One of the passengers was measuring the deck. I made enquire about what it was for and he informed me that he wished to know how many miles he walked during the day
.Today we saw some Cape hens and some birds called the Tropic birds. The sailors say that they are the souls of the drowned sailors. The superstitions still prevails in England this day
.Have not felt well for sometime no more has my wife. I do not like to see her so poorly for I think that it must be braking up her system and I fear if we do not get to our destination very soon I shall have her laid up all together if it was not for the sun she would look like a corpse
.This has been a very ruff night. Squally rain and blowing all the night which caused us to roll about most dreadfully enough to roll us out of bed if we did not hold tight. Quite a hurricane it appeared to travel in puffs in a circular fashion like a whirl wind
." and much much more. 1866 Voyage to England "Sailed from Cape Town South Africa by the screw steamship Hydaspes registered tonnage 2600. Having on board 350 souls and about 2600 tons cargo most valuable goods from India silks indigo sugar and other produce. Both from India and the Cape. On this same page he lists some of the passenger's names
.I dress my little boy to be ready when the breakfast bell rang. There being so many children on board they go to breakfast at eight and the adults at nine. Soon Sunday Service was announced to commence the troops have mustered on deck with the passengers
.I proceed to dress my son taking caution to clean him thoroughly as a few remarks I heard which greatly annoyed me for he was as clean as any on board but his clothes being not of the very best articles as the others he was I thought slighted
Towards night a wealth of melancholiness set over me that I was so low in spirits that the flood gates of my heart gave way for really I do feel so lost on board this ship all being above my rank in life and I being so low spirited that life and energy seem to be entirely gone. That really the wicked thoughts comes over me that I wish that the Lord would have memory upon my soul and take me to join Her that has gone before me
.All at once I heard a person call to Jonny to get down and looking see he was leaning over the rail. I am sorry he is such as naughty boy. I am surprised to see some of the married women with children frolicking about with the officers after dinner
.We have an old gentleman on board lying dangerously ill a Mr. Auckland Esq. returning to England to spend the remainder of his days but I fear according to accounts that his constitution is broke up and he's fast leaving this world
.After dressing Jonny and cautioning him not to go and play with the water I let him go. Had not been long on deck when he was like a drowned rat and I was obliged to bring him down and then I tied his hands and took him in the cabin and made him stop. He made me so cross. After dinner I went up on deck and was informed that one of the passengers was dead. So many souls being on board the Doctor ordered the body to be ready and by half past nine it was committed to the deep. Thus was the end of that poor man he sunk down
.We are making our way down to the Western Isles as the Captain intends sending a boat off to see if he can get any provisions for the troops as the meat is nearly all bad. The Islands are said to contain thirty thousand inhabitants. Portuguese settlements
. He goes on with much more about these Islands the people etc.

Toynbee, Philip
Prothalamium A Cycle Of The Holy Grail
Doubleday & Co 1947. 1st Edition . Hardcover. Very Good /Very Good. Black Cloth Stamped In Gray And Red Red Endpapers. First Edition Stated. Light Usage No Marks. Dust Jacket Priced $2.50 Chipping To Top And Bottom Of Spine And A Few Tiny Tears And Losses. Per Wikipedia Theodore Philip Toynbee 1916 - 1981 Was A British Writer And Communist. He Wrote Experimental Novels And Distinctive Verse Novels One Of Which Was An Epic Called Pantaloon A Work In Several Volumes Only Some Of Which Are Published. He Also Wrote Memoirs Of The 1930S And Reviews And Literary Criticism The Latter Mainly Via His Employment With The Observer Newspaper. He Was Born In Oxford; His Father Was The Historian Arnold J. Toynbee And His Mother Was Rosalind Murray. At Christ Church Oxford In The Late 1930S He Became The First Communist President Of The Oxford Union At The Height Of Communism's Apparent Success And Social Acceptability. He Visited Spain At The End Of 1936 At The Start Of The Spanish Civil War In A Student Delegation. He Was Said To Have Been Beaten Up By Mosley's Blackshirts At A Fascist Meeting. During The 1950S He Continued To Work For The Observer And Was One Of The More Prominent Intellectual Figures In British Life Perhaps To Be Compared With Edmund Wilson In The United States For Example. In An Article Written For The Observer In 1961 He Notoriously Proclaimed The Irrelevancy Of J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord Of The Rings Just Prior To Its Paperback Publication In America And Subsequent Cultural Phenomenon: "There Was A Time When The Hobbit Fantasies Of Professor Tolkien Were Being Taken Very Seriously Indeed By A Great Many Distinguished Literary Figures. Mr. Auden Is Even Reported To Have Claimed That These Books Were As Good As War And Peace; Edwin Muir And Many Others Were Almost Equally Enthusiastic. I Had A Sense That One Side Or The Other Must Be Mad For It Seemed To Me That These Books Were Dull Ill-Written Whimsical And Childish. And For Me This Had A Reassuring Outcome For Most Of His More Ardent Supporters Were Soon Beginning To Sell Out Their Shares In Professor Tolkien And Today Those Books Have Passed Into A Merciful Oblivion." In The Early To Mid-1970S Toynbee Underwent A Personal Crisis Slowly Entering Into A Period Of Deep Depression. He Had Become Increasingly Concerned About Ecological Matters And This Along With His Own Ideological Temperament Led Him To The Controversial Decision To Set Up A Self-Sufficient Farming Community. His Family And Friends Thought This Decision To Be Close To Insane Considering As They Did His Privacy And Routine-Loving Nature. The Community Quickly Became A Commune When Toynbee Sally And Their Youngest Daughter Moved Out Into A Large Cottage Nearby. <br/> <br/> Doubleday & Co hardcover

Tracy, Walter
Letters of Credit : A View of Type Design
Boston Massachusetts: David R. Godine 1986. Appear unread. Fine condition in a bright and shiny Fine dust jacket partially price clipped. NO chips. NO tears. NO creases. NO rubbing. NO fading. Protected by a removable mylar clear-plastic sleeve. Sharp corners. Hinges are perfect. NOT a library discard. NO owner's name or bookplate. Pages are fresh and crisp - probably never read. NO underlining. NO highlighting. NO margin notes. 1986. First U. S. Edition. Bibliography. Index. Bound in the original gilt-stamped blue cloth. From the dust jacket: "The revolution in typesetting -- a revolution that over the past two decades has eliminated a five-hundred-year-old system of hot metal production and replaced it with one of photo-generated and computer-driven composition -- shows no sign of winding down. This book more than any other we have read traces the steps that went into that revolution and simultaneously makes the argument that the letter forms themselves whether used in film computer or hot metal composition are always in a process of evolution. Tracy argues that whether they are of the sixteenth or the twentieth century the forms that comprise our alphabet are subject to the same rules of good taste proportion and clarity that have always obtained. But what we face today is vastly different from fifty years ago. For the first time new technology has made the proliferation and not a few would maintain the debasement of letter forms fast and easy or quick and dirty. With fifty years of professional experience on both sides of the Atlantic including thirty years as head of type design for the British Linotype Company Tracy is in a unique position to make this argument and reach his sad conclusion: the good designs of contemporary typefaces are far outnumbered by the mediocre and downright bad. Part of the reason for this deplorable deterioration is a lack of critical analysis of the particular esthetics involved. This step-by-step examination of type-design esthetics is precisely what Tracy provides here while avoiding both the promoter's hype and the manufacturer's claims. Here are the gut issues of what makes type good or bad legible or unreadable. Extensively illustrated with both typefaces and line drawings this book belongs on the shelf of anyone interested in the history of letters or in the artistry and peculiar problems that lie behind their production." 7" wide by 10" tall. First U. S. Edition so stated. Hardcover. Fine condition/Fine dust jacket. 223pp. Great Packaging Fast Shipping. David R. Godine Hardcover
