‎Liverpool Library Museum and Arts Committee 1906. 1st edition. V.g. /No Jacket. Library buckram Rebound in red buckram with gilt title on spine internally a very good unmarked copy. With a short introduction by Peter Cowell Chief Librarian summarising the generous gift of a fine library in the will of Hugh Frederick Hornby of Wavertree along with the sizeable sum of £10000 to "assist the authorities to provide a building in which to store the collection" - a job they did with aplomb. Whether Hornby would have approved of the use of this space for receptions and openings is an interesting question. His library comprised some 8000 volumes mostly chosen "to illustrate the history and progress of the graphic arts from early times to the present". It also contains a complete set of the works issued by the Kelmscott Press.

‎OLIVE PEABODY‎

‎1908 Olive Whipple Peabody Manuscript Travel Journal of Tsarist Russia with 17 Real Photo Postcards of St. Petersburg and Moscow before the Revolution‎

‎RUSSIA. Fair with no dust jacket. 1908. Unbound. On offer is a wonderful description of an American girl visiting Tsarist Russia in the years before the revolution. The author of this travel journal is Olive Whipple Peabody 1886-1969 the adopted daughter of the American lawyer and philanthropist Philip G. Peabody 1857-1934. To learn about Philip & Olive please see BIO NOTES at the conclusion of the listing. In this journal Olive describes a trip she took with her adoptive father Philip in 1908. This amazingly detailed diary is exceptional with its fascinating details of all that she saw and did in St. Petersburg and Moscow. The journal opens with them in Sweden: "Dad and I returned from Kristiania this morning. Our train left Kristiania at 6 o'clock last night and we rode without any change of cars until 7: 50 this morning when we entered the large Central Station of Stockholm ." May 17They spent several days visiting historical sites in Stockholm before sailing for Finland and Russia. They arrived in St. Petersburg on May 21st: "All the Russian churches and many of the people have a sort of unclean odor. Found St. Isaac's Cathedral more impressive than the Kazan Cathedral. This Cathedral stands in the Nevsky Prospekt - the long main street of St. Petersburg. It has an arched colonnade of 136 pillars in imitation of St. Peter's at Rome". May 22"A guide took us about St. Isaac's Cathedral and showed us the valuable stones set in the gold icons until we really believed that the wealth of Russia is in the Cathedrals. I visited twice The Memorial Church built on the exact spot where Alexander II was murdered. The stones in the pavement are left just as they were The Cathedral of Peter & Paul is an oblong building 210 feet in length and 98 in breadth. All the sovereigns of Russia since the foundation of St. Petersburg lie buried in the Cathedral except Peter II. The bodies are deposited under the floor of the church and the marble tombs above marking the sites of the graves." May 22"We asked admissions to the Winter Palace and we were sent on from one man in charge to another then another & so on till at least we were shown into a little room where we sat down on benches and waited. We did not know how long we would have to wait before someone came. No one spoke English or French. We decided to go on to another Cathedral for we had only the afternoon before we left for Moscow. We went to the bazaars but really most of them were closed for some sort of a holiday. Lots of things were very expensive. Dry goods priced in the windows of the shops were terribly high. A very large good natured cat sat in the door way of every shop. Candy and fruit were very expensive. Car fares cheap - hotels poor & expensive - cab fares moderate." May 23"Passports are compulsory in Russia. Anywhere & everywhere you go a passport is demanded. At every Russian hotel it is taken by the manager then given to the police official of the hotel. The next day it is returned to us after there has been a most careful examination. Even my age is required. We have been delighted to get permission in London of the Russian consul to enter Russia! To remain in St Petersburg and permission to remain in Moscow. Then permission to leave the country. Police officials attend to all this and a charge is made each time. Often times you need a passport even to enter a public building". May 23"We left the Hotel de France at 6 o'clock yesterday and drove to the Nicholas R. R. Station. The cab was so small we could barely get in with our luggage. My suit case had to ride outside in the pouring rain. At the station only two small settees near the door to accommodate the hundreds of people who would wait for trains. I managed to get a seat on one bench. The moment anyone moved 20 people were after that seat. Dad was standing in line 40 minutes for our tickets. Our train to Moscow was the largest one I ever saw. We walked nearly a quarter of a mile before we came to our places. Dad had to ride in a men's compartment in the car behind mine. I was put in with 3 women & a child; all Russian; all very nice. Extra fees are charged on this train for speed as it goes between St. Petersburg & Moscow in 12 hours instead of 24 hours. Also there is extra charge for use of a berth. The ride was uninteresting. We passed woods and meadows pastures and little hills. We entered Moscow station at 8: 45 this morning just on time. A very ordinary station for so many travelers" May 24; "We had good rooms in the Hotel Bazar-Slav Hotel Slaviansky Bazar; room numbers 104 & 105 - with electric lights red plush furniture & hard wood floor - no carpet but one or two rugs. The first place we visited was the Kremlin about a 10 minute walk from the hotel. The life of a Russian soldier is very hard. They must be ready any moment to go where ever ordered. Their pay is only a few cents a day. At one time they were allowed to write one letter a month free of postage but when later they were obliged to pay that postage they often had to go two months without sending a letter. They look very forlorn & dirty". May 26"We passed The Great Riding School on our way to an electric car stopping place - as we had come out of the Kremlin through the Trinity Gate. This remarkable building was built in 1817 and is one of the largest rooms in the world unsupported by pillars or props of any kind. The place was well lighted and we thought it a good opportunity to look in. The room was full of automobiles and the wealthy people of the city were evidently spending the evening at an automobile show ." May 27"I have visited the Iberian Chapel several times. It is very small and the inside is bad air. The chapel which is illuminated by silver lamps with wax candles is always beset by worshippers whose donations amount to a very large sum. The Iberian Mother is often taken out to ride in a splendid coach drawn by 6 horses with priests and servants. It goes to the houses of the sick to weddings and to new houses etc. For this honor large sums are paid sometimes the fee received amounts to 100 Rs. $58.00. While it is absent from the chapel another copy is put in its place. On visiting Moscow the Emperor always dismounts and prays at this chapel before entering the Kremlin. It is generally surrounded by nuns and other beggars". May 27. Unfortunately her diary ends here. Olive has lightly affixed 17 Real Photo Post Cards RPCC to the pages; several are written on with detailed descriptions. There are also two small pressed flowers tucked between the pages; original florets from 1908. The amount of detail in this journal is outstanding. Olive is a keen observer and writes well. This is an excellent source document for a Russia historian as it paints a vivid picture of life under the Tsars. The photo post cards that she has pasted into her journal bring her descriptions to life especially the street scenes. This is an excellent picture of a world that was soon to spiral into a very dark place for many years to come. Condition: Measuring 8.25 inches by 6.25 inches this journal has 35 pages and is 100% complete. The front and back covers are missing and the spine has been broken. All of the pages are intact. The handwriting is quite legible. BIO NOTESOlive Whipple Peabody Beardwood 1886-1969 born Hamilton Essex County Massachusetts USA. She married James Beardwood 1884-1968 of Lancashire England in 1920. They had one child Jamie W. Beardwood 1930-2003. She was the adopted daughter of Philip G. Peabody. Philip G Peabody 1857-1934 was a noted American financier and philanthropist who lived in Boston in the early years of the 20th century. He was the son of a Justice of the NY Supreme Court of the United States and was himself an attorney by profession. He also was involved with several social campaigns of his day. In particular he was active in the anti-vivisectionist movement and a supporter of a major project of the nascent NAACP. Peabody had adopted Olive in 1904 when she was 18 years old. Their friendship was somewhat unusual. They had met on a local train when she was 14. He was an avid world traveller and in his lifetime he crossed the Atlantic an astounding 145 times and visited 43 different countries. He told her stories of his adventures and a friendship ensued. Over the years he gave her gifts and money took her places and showed her the world he lived in. ; Manuscripts; 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall; 35 pages; KEYWORDS: HISTORY OF; 1900s; EARLY 20TH CENTURY; RUSSIA; OLIVE WHIPPLE PEABODY; PHILIP G PEABODY; NAACP; TSARIST RUSSIA; TSAR NICHOLAS II; ST.

‎Reverend Josiah Peabody (Presumed)‎

‎1845 Manuscript Letter Extract Likely from American Missionary Josiah Peabody on the State of Turkey's Attempts to Battle Russia Following Destruction of the Turkish Fleets‎

‎ERZROOM ERZURUM TURKEY. Very Good with no dust jacket. 1845. Non-Book. On offer is an original manuscript extract handwritten dated Erzurum Turkey Mar. 3 1854 it is believed to be in the hand of Rev. Josiah Peabody 1807-1873.

He and his wife Mary Lawrence Herbert Peabody 1817-1899 lived in Turkey for his missionary work from 1941-1955 see BIO NOTES at the end of the listing. The writings are a superb relic of the times; what historians and collectors of Turkish-Russian relations era will recognize as pivotal being only mere months after Russia destroyed Turkey's fleet and this note reports the Turks' struggle to gain any advantage the handwriting describes: "As to the war everything is still dark. Immense efforts are made by the Turks in this region and hopes are entertained that they may be able to withstand the Russians especially as they have a number of European officers…"The letter also includes content regarding some of the new officers the Sultan and further analysis of Turkey's chances against Russia. While unsigned this extract was found amongst the letters sent by his wife Mary L. H. Peabody to her brother Rev. Charles D. Herbert 1818- in Missouri. Timelines and genealogical records indicate that this letter extract can be confidently attributed to Josiah. Condition: Handwritten on 7.5 x 5.5 inch scrap of paper. Overall VG.
