[Filipino Americana]: Moncado, Hilario Camino
World Travel Memories. Being the First Series of Illustrated Travel Stories To Be Published As Such in a Single Volume By Any Filipino
Washington DC: Claude T. Clements Press 1932. 14362pp. Profusely illustrated. Publisher's tan cloth with titles stamped in brown on spine and front board. In original unclipped pictorial dust jacket. Minor edge wear light insect damage to boards. Dust jacket either trimmed a bit short or originally produced a half-inch shorter than boards. Minor dust-soiling to jacket with minor insect damage to rear flap. Internally clean. Overall very good. The rare autobiographical travel narrative by one of the most important Filipino-American political leaders in history especially notable for retaining the original pictorial dust jacket. Hilario Camino Moncado established the Filipino Federation of America in 1925 in Los Angeles California. It was also known at various times as the Filipino World Federation and the Filipino Crusaders World Army. As one of the fraternal organizations appealing to the small but growing Filipino immigrant community the FFA distinguished itself from competitors by accentuating "clean living" and rules of moral conduct. Moncado earned a law degree and also edited and published Filipino Nation. Through his work Moncado sought to portray the immigrant community as responsible and healthy in contrast to the then-prevalent depictions of them as uneducated gamblers. Much less publicly the FFA developed a set of religious teachings that held Moncado to be the reincarnation of Jesus Christ by way of José Rizal the Filipino patriot executed in the waning days of Spanish rule. Moncado's birthday was changed to make him appear to have been born after Rizal's death so that his identity as Rizal's reincarnation would be more plausible.<br /> <br /> In the present travel memoir Moncado focuses on political and social issues encountered on a trip around the world conveying an impression of worldliness which burnished his reputation within the Filipino-American community. He visits England Holland Germany France Italy Egypt India China Japan and "Home Sweet Home Philippines." A sampling of chapters focus on London his visit to Oxford University the refusal of Germany to pay reparations from the First World War mentioning the German people's and particularly Hitler's stance against paying them any further his visit to the League of Nations "Mussolini - Benevolent Despot or Tyrant" Gandhi and "India's Revolution" China "The Awakening Giant" "Americanized Japan" and the betrayal of the Filipino independence movement by the American Congress.<br /> <br /> OCLC records just eight institutional copies including one in the Philippines one in Singapore and six in the United States at NYPL UC-Davis the University of Hawaii Michigan Washington and Wisconsin.

[Frederick Gorringe (1831-1909), draper; Frederick Gorringe's Department Store, 75 Buckingham Palace Road, London; the Daily Tel
Frederick Gorringe's Department Store. Manuscript subscription list of donations by staff to the Daily Telegraph fund for 'the Sufferers' by the Edgware Road Fire giving more than 200 names and sums. With two press cuttings.
London. May and June 1888. 4pp. foolscap 8vo. Bifolium. In fair condition on aged paper. First page headed: 'The Edgware Road Fire The proprietor of "The Daily Telegraph" have as hitherto on similar occasions opened a Subscription list for the Sufferers and it is estimated that £3000 will be required to meeet the urgent claims for relief which are already too well known I shall be glad to receive any donations you may be pleased to give on their behalf JNER.'. Arranged in eight columns two to a page with running totals and a grand total of £16 1s 0d. The first donation is for 10s 6d from 'Mr. Kynock' and the last for 1s from Mr Catliffe'. Accompanying the list are two newspaper cuttings laid down on one side of a piece of 12mo paper with manuscript heading The Edgware Rd. Fire Fund'. The first cutting records the donation of £20 by 'Fredk. Gorring Buckingham Palace-road' and of £16 1s 0d by 'Employés of Fredk. Gorringe'; the second cutting reproduces a letter from Gorringe reading: 'TO THE EDITOR OF "THE DAILY TELEGRAPH." SIR - I have pleasure in sending a cheque for £20 towards the fund being raised for the assistants who are sufferers by the Edgware-road fire; also one for £16 1s from my employés. - Yours faithfully FREDK. GORRINGE. Buckingham Palace-road June 5.' The fire had occurred on 30 May 1888 with The Times devoting the following day's editorial to it beginning: 'London has been visited by many greater and more destructive fires but by few more tragic and pathetic in their circumstances than that which occurred in the Edgware-road shortly after six o'clock yesterday morning. The large drapery establishment of Messrs. GARROULD occupying the angle formed by the Edgware-road and Queen-street was suddenly attacked by fire and five of the young assistants who slept in the upper floors were burnt to death or suffocated while five more were seriously scorched or injured by jumping from the windows.' The Times drew parallels with another fire eight months before at the Exeter Theatre and concluded that it had 'once more taught Londoners the lesson that they cannot have efficient protection from fire without paying for it'.

大阪朝日新聞社. Osaka Asahi Shinbunsha. Showa 12 1937. 10 colour maps not including insets or sketch maps in text on 12 pages. Handsome world map features as the centre fold colour pictorial paper wrappers. A little light soiling and horizontal crease wrappers. An attractive atlas. 38 x 26.7cm. A large format atlas with six pages of coloured maps showing the nations of the world and five pages of Japanese text. The publication seems to have been produced to celebrate the 1937 world record flight from Tokyo to London by Iinuma Masaaki and Tsugayoshi Kenji in their plane 'Kamikaze' which was sponsored by the Asahi Newspaper. The front cover depicts the plane soaring over a map of the world while the back cover also had a colour image of the 'Kamikaze' with an advertisement for the Oji Paper Company which we are told donated a hundred million yen to support the flight. The name 'Kamikaze" had at that stage not yet taken on the connotations which it acquired during the Pacific War. <br> <br>The maps inside the volume show political boundaries major cities and transport routes. The opening pages show the Japanese Empire including Japan proper Korea Karufuto and Manchukuo with small insets covering Taiwan the Chishima Archipelago and Japan's South Sea mandate. The accompanying text focuses on Japan's newly acquired client state of Manchukuo detailing its area population principle products etc while the map includes graphs illustrating Japan's trade with the world and with Manchukuo. China receives an entry of its own with a map of the Chinese Republic and information on the political situation population trade and infrastructure. The central pages of the volume are taken up with a double-spread map of the world including depictions of the flags of a selection of the world's nations. Other sections of the work cover Asia Europe America Africa and Oceania grouped together. The discussion of Oceania includes a section on Hawaii and some small and improbable depictions of Maori and Indigenous Australians. . 大阪朝日新聞社. [Osaka Asahi Shinbunsha]. unknown
