Nakamura Hajime; Philip Wiener editor; Revised English translation
Ways of Thinking of Eastern Peoples: India China Tibet Japan
East west Center Honolulu 1971. 1st edition. Hardcover. Fine/Fine. The design of this comparative study of modes of thought was developed out of the intellectual interests we have noted. Each of the four sections of the study is developed on a common plan. First there is some discussion of language and logic of the characteristic ways in which each of these Asian peoples habitually made certain types of judgment and inferences. In each section the author then proceeds to the manifestations of these patterns in formal philosophical writing in literature and in individual and group behavior. In each section Buddhism is used. as a kind of chemical precipitant to isolate those indigenous habits its pages scholar and layman alike will find a wealth of insight into the range of great problems with which Mr. Nakamura is concerned. The reader will come to admire the author as a tireless explorer on the frontiers of knowledge a scholar whose virtuosity in research is matched by his relentless drive towards new understandings. Arthur Frederick Wright Yale University Foreword 712 pages. Fine/as new. There is a protective mylar cover. 1ST EDITION 5TH PRINTING. East west Center, Honolula hardcover

English Charlie
Turista della Neve. Alla Ricerca delle Nevi pi� Belle del Mondo
Roma: Donzelli Editore 2009. Roma 2009; br. pp. 201 cm 14x20. Virgola. 54. Bellezza pericolo infanzia solitudine morte. E poi ancora sci slittino palle di neve divertimento. Sono queste le prime parole a cui Charlie English pensa quando per la prima volta si siede davanti al computer con l'intento di scrivere un libro sulla neve. Ma la sfida �: quante altre libere associazioni affluirebbero nella sua mente dopo un viaggio nei luoghi della neve pi� autentici e puri Ed eccolo partire: dall'Alaska al Vermont alle Alpi cento paesaggi innevati tra affinit� e differenze languori e allegrie retaggi ancestrali e tecnologie moderne alla ricerca dell'essenza stessa della neve. Nasce cos� il suo libro una vera e propria mappa della neve a cavallo delle longitudini dei popoli delle lingue delle consuetudini degli spazi fisici e mentali. Una messe di dati e stati d'animo da condividere con i lettori di ogni angolo del mondo innevato e no. Il tutto colorito a tratti dalla malinconica sensazione di godere di un bene in via d'estinzione a causa del surriscaldamento della terra. E la ricchezza delle esperienze accumulate � tale da spingere l'autore a inserire nel volume un vero e proprio manuale della neve ricco di notizie record e curiosit� - dal fiocco di neve pi� grande mai caduto alla prima incisione su pietra dello sci ai trucchi e le leggende legate alla neve: esiste davvero l'abominevole uomo delle nevi � vero che gli eschimesi hanno cento parole per definire la neve Donzelli Editore unknown

UNIDENTIFIED ENGLISH WOMAN
1877 EXTRAORDINARY RETROSPECTIVE JOURNAL OF ONE ENGLISH WOMAN�S LUXURIOUS AND DEEPLY DETAILED TRIP FROM NAPLES TO THE BIBLICAL HOLY LAND CROSSING THE DESERT BY BOAT RAIL DONKEY AND HORSE
NAPLES ALEXANDRIA CAIRO SUEZ JAFFA JERUSALEM. Good. 1877. On offer is a fascinating journal written by an English woman of a trying and difficult voyage from Naples Italy to the Holy Land of Jerusalem in 1877. The journal is 35 pages long and is of a trip of a small group who travel first to Alexandria via Sicily then by rail to Cairo and Ismailia through the newly constructed Suez Canal and finally an extraordinary month�s journey on horseback with tented camping in the desert at night. The trip is a very difficult journey and at one point the woman writes �this was our first experience of travelling in Palestine and I can assure you it was a most trying one.� The author�s handwriting is beautiful and is an easy pleasure to read. These pages seem to be notes for a talk the woman is going to give. There are also corrections of the writing in pencil by the woman herself and the book ends as if the words were meant to be spoken to an audience. The journal begins: �Naples to Jerusalem Notes by the way Naples which is to be my starting point tonight is beautifully situated on one of the finest bays in the world. The city extends for three miles along the short of the bay but rows of houses villages and small towns extend almost entirely around it. Nearly opposite Naples is Mount Vesuvius from whose summit have poured in times past the streams of lava and showers of ashes which have again and again buried whole towns and villages situated on its sides and even at some distance from its foot; and from which a light cloud of smoke is always rising.�; �We went on board a steamer bound for Alexandria at two p.m. on Sunday February the 18th 1877 but did not sail until five o�clock during which time we had a fine view of the city and its surroundings.On the following morning we entered the straits of Messina and about 11 o�clock landed at Messina capital of Sicily where we stayed a short time and walked through the town. We sailed about 12 and it was quite smooth through the straits our companions came on deck.Soon after we got through the straits a storm burst upon us. The guards were fixed on to the table today to keep the things in their places but did not remedy all the evil for as you know anything liquid will find its own level so that when we had soup before us and the boat rolled to an angle of 45 de. It was either running over the opposite edge of the plat or pouring over us which was far from pleasant we had no more soup during the three days that the storm commenced.� They reach Alexandria a few rough days later: �Pompey�s pillar and Cleopatra�s needles are the most striking monumental relics of Alexandria and we drove to Pompey�s pillar first. It stands on rising ground the highest in the neighborhood and close to it is a Mohammedan cemetery.� The writer is a smart woman adept at conveying events with skillful detail grativats and occasionally humor. She is also quite a worldly woman often bringing in recent world events to give context: �Recent events have brought Egypt to the notice of all newspaper readers and the bombardments of the forts of Alexandria by the British Fleet and the subsequent setting on fire of the principal parks of the city and especially of the European part has been brought very vividly before the public by the Illustrated Papers. The Great Square is where the principal buildings of the city were situated. The buildings surrounding it were of imposing appearance here were the Consulates the principal Banks the finest shops and the largest hotel.All this is now a heap of ruins.� She goes on to describe the contrast in dress between native women and European women: �you often see for instance an Egyptian woman covered from head to foot with a long thick veil which hides all but her eyes and walking close behind her an European lady dressed in the height of Paris fashion. The European gentlemen are of course dressed as we are accustomed to see them except that all wear the Turkish fez and the higher class Egyptians mostly wear the same dress but the lower classes all wear loose petticoat trousers reaching to the ankles and a loose jacket and round the waist they often have a gaily coloured sash or shawl.� After Alexandria the writer takes a train to Cairo. She describes the train �ordinary first class ones made in England and sent out� and the landscape she sees �the land is well cultivated and is watered by the annual overflowing of the Nile and is also artificially irrigated by means of numerous canals cut for the purpose from the Nile.�. �Cairo is a more purely Oriental city than Alexandria and we stay here five days.� The writer describes the contrast between old Cairo and new Cairo as well stating that the new Cairo is �built after the style of the boulevards of Paris with wide streets and trees planted on the side paths shops and houses in the European style� while the old Cairo is �truly Eastern narrow irregular streets merely of earth trampled smooth though far from being level.� In Cairo the writer describes many different places she sees travelling around the city by donkey �indeed there are regular stands for them and anyone who wishes to go out calls for one as we call for a cab� and especially the shops in the bazaars. While in Cairo she takes a donkey trip to the Island of Rhoda to see the famous �Nilometer� that measures flood height. She also goes to see the Boulak Museum �the finest collection of Egyptian Antiquities in the world� the University of the East and observes the Muslim call to prayer at the University: �At 12 o.c. the call to prayer was heard from the minarets of the mosk mosque and instantly all spread their prayer carpets on which they knelt down with their faces turned towards Mecca and utterly regardless of our presence they went through their devotions.� From Cairo there are day trips to Sakkara and Memphis where the writer sees and writes of many statues sculptures and sacred bulls all very well preserved and recently discovered and excavated. After the five days in Cairo the author sets off for Ismailia �a place on the Suez canal about half way between Suez and Port Said.� She comments on the refilling of the dry Lake Imshah after Suez Canal construction just 8 years or so earlier. She writes �Ismailia has entirely grown up since the canal was made it was before nothing but desert but a freshwater canal supplies it and other stations on the Suez Canal. It seems as if wherever water can be got on to the land the desert may be turned into a garden for already they have a few good gardens there and many avenues of trees. The author than travels to Port Said across the Suez Canal by steamer. From Port Said she goes onto Jaffa. �During the time we had our only experience of the Kamseen which is a hot dry wind full of fine sand blowing off the desert and looks like a thick yellow fog. The sand was so fine that it penetrated all our clothes and we had to go into the cabin for protection.� In Jaffa she comments on the numerous orange and lemon groves the poor sanitary situation in the city and the many muddy dirty and crooked streets of the city �our first impressions were not pleasant�. In Jaffa she goes to Simon the Tanner�s house and also to where Peter had his vision of �a sheet let down from Heaven knit at the four corners and filled with all manner of beasts etc.� She also visits a Mission school run by an English lady attended by Jews Mohammedans and Syrians alike. The school is Methodist. From Jaffa the author and her companions set out for the month long horseback trip to Jerusalem sleeping in tents at night. �We rode between orange and lemon groves for some distance the road was fenced off with prickly pear a close growing thorny cactus which reaches about 6ft high a fence which will defy man or beast.� From the onset of the journey there are persistent problems with the horses: �my horse had a bad trick of pulling up suddenly if I tried to pass the foremost of the party they cing very tenaciously to each other and there was no attempt to run away with any of us.We were in the saddle for over five hours with the sun fiercely shining on us from a cloudless sky and if there had not been a nice breeze we should have found it much worse than we did.� Despite the problems the write is astounded with the beauty of the Middle Easter landscape. �The Plain of Sharon was gay with flowers particularly with a small anemone of a very bright scarlet and as we got into the hill country the ledges of the rocks were filled with beautiful varieties of cyclamen.� At night she describes the tents they have brought along and the new experience of sleeping in tents �which seemed almost like sleeping out of doors.� They have brought along five sleeping tents a saloon tent and a kitchen tent with a Union Jack flag flying from one and Stars and Stripes from the other. It is obvious the people on the trip come from wealth as she describes the extraordinary five course dinner they are served in their camp site: �first course soup 2nd stewed tongue with fried potatoes 3rd cauliflower browned with egg & breadcrumbs 4th chicken and asparagus 5th apricot tarts and dessert nuts raisins & Jaffa oranges after which we had a large cup of tea to finish off with.� The first nights are cold and noisy nights with dogs barking and frogs croaking. They wake up each morning with a servant blowing a ram�s horn trumpet. The writer is taken by the Biblical ground through which she travels: �Our route to day is over ground of great interest and where great events in the early history of the subjugation of Palestine by Joshua took place. It was here that Joshua uttered the memorable words at the battle of Beth Horon �Sun stand thou still upon Gibeon and thou Moon in the valley of Aijalon�.I have no doubt they would take the same road we were going for we reached Kirjath Jearim where the Ark was kept so long early in the day.� Finally the author and her companions reach Jerusalem. Here she writes clearly and beautifully of Jerusalem of its hills and deep valleys and twisting roads. �We descend the Mount of Olives past the garden of Gethsemane then across the brook Hedron and up the other side of the valley passing the traditional site of Stephen's martyrdom.

I can only hope in conclusion that some here present may have the pleasure of seeing for themselves that wonderful city and land.� The journal consists of four gatherings of roughly 10 pages each though these gatherings are not bound and many pages are loose or very close to being unattached.

FRED ENGLISH
1927 ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPT TRAVEL DIARY OF ONE BOSTON COUPLE'S CRUISE ABOARD AN ILL-FATED SHIP THAT WOULD ONE DAY SADLY BOAST THE COSTLIEST BRITISH LOSS AT SEA IN NAVAL HISTORY
ABOARD THE S.S. LANCASTRIA TO EUROPE. Good. 1927. On offer is a delightful original manuscript travel diary dated 1927 wherein Fred English with his wife Cora writes of his adventures and observations while aboard the S.S. Lancastria as well as his travels and adventures in England France Ireland etc. He writes of going to Blarney Castle and other castles seeing Lord Barrymore's estate and going to Killarney Dublin Brussels and many many other places! He begins: "S.S. Lancastria at Sea" - These notes are written for my own use. I am mailing them home that others may perhaps enjoy some of our pleasures. Please read them and then mail them immediately to the next on the list he then lists a lot of peoples names Don't forget that I want to use them when I return. Please see that none are lost". Here are some snippets: "Saturday August 27 1927 - Embarked at East Boston at 4:50 p.m. 10th Calvary Band playing. Bon Voyage by official representative of city. Escorted down harbor by Fire Boat playing four streams hose. Many vessels saluted with whistles. Three women and a boy failed to get off and were taken off down a ladder to a tug. It has rained all day. Have dropped pilot and are proceeding to sea. Found we were both booked together in J4 so far no sign of sea sickness. Am now waiting for dinner second sitting at 7 p.m. in to dinner at Table 3. Mr & Mrs Cain of N.Y. table companions. Enjoyed dinner five courses excellent service. Back on deck sea not rough but fog has shut down fog horn blows every minute. Watched sea and talked until 9:30 p.m. then seven times around deck equal one mile. Cora has taken a dose of Mothersill's pills as a prevention against sea sickness. Really doesn't need if no rougher than now. This day has been a big experience . It is as hot as it ever gets in Aroostook. The dining room is really too hot to eat in. We have a table stewart who tries hard to please but has a difficult time he is always in his own way . We had an impressive Memorial Service for sailors lost at sea 8 gold star mothers strewed flowers on water. We lost our table companions Mr & Mrs Cain. They moved to C deck - We had a good sing last night and a symphony concert by the ships orchestra. This morning wireless reports that Brock and Schlee had crossed the Atlantic in 23 hr. and 19 min. Had a wonderful day on deck. In the afternoon we played shuffleboard and ball on top deck. In the evening we danced a little . Now sailing directly towards Queenstown - Tonight the water has a larger swell and the ship is beginning to roll and pitch. So far the sensation is not bad. Some are beginning to feel sick again - There is to be dancing if the roll does not prevent. Saw a large school of flying fish seemed to be either white or silver color. Sometimes they take a flight of perhaps a hundred yards. There is a very jolly crowd on board who are bent on enjoying themselves - We saw schools of porpoises yesterday wish we might see a whale . We have enjoyed life on the boat. Time passes rapidly - There are two or three real characters on board. One Greenly from Boston a very fat good natural cuss from Boston. He brought aboard about 50 bottles of drink and a couple cases of oranges. He nearly missed the boat but arrived in time a dress coat over his arm part of which had been dropped in the mud. Neverless he was feeling glorious and has been ever since - Last night we sighted a passenger ship about five or six miles north sailing towards America. We have seen a number of freighters. They make the sea less lonely. - There are a small number aboard who are trying to drink the bar dry with fair success. We are in touch with land by wireless. We could radiogram home but would cost about four dollars. When we realize the expanse of ocean we feel that Lindberg had colossal nerve to attempt its passage all alone . It is fun to dance aboard except when the ship gives an extra roll the dancers go crashing into the wall or into the rail . We have the run of the ship which is worth a good deal. Our room is fairly good though small. I believe I would rather have the cheapest room aboard with run of ship than a better room say second class without run of the ship . Clancy our table steward is having a wonderful time telling us English customs. One of the cleverest jokes of last evening was a passenger who dressed as a steward. He had an English face even to that dumb look they have when they do not understand. He went into the smoking room and about the deck taking orders from many people who were not wise to the joke much to the amusement of those who were . Memorial for Lusitania in fore lounge over or nearly over spot where she sank . We arrived in Paris about 10 a.m. - After breakfast we took a train or street car to Trocadeors Convention Hedges. The parade was to start at 1:30 so we found the place were Mainse was to form. It was near Place D'lena which contains Geo Washingtons equestrian statue. While admiring the statue we noticed Hotel D'lena facing it. Then it occurred to Cora that the Mac Manuses were stopping at that hotel. We proceeded to find them. Crossing the square we heard our names called. Sure enough there they were on an iron balcony watching the parade form. We went up watched the parade form and pass until the ___ section came along then we joined and paraded. Talk about thrills. Flying could not compare. Up Rue D'Iena to the Arc dr Triomphe where we threw flowers on the unknown soldiers tomb - It was a National French Holiday declared for the occasion. The Stars and Stripes flew from the Eiffel Tower for the first time in history. It seemed millions of people lined the streets all cheering - No not all for it was reported that a few hissed. Both sides of the street were lined with soldiers with drawn bayonets. Every square had a troop of Calvalry or mounted guards. Every corner a squad of gendarmes ready to turn in any direction. It was expected that some demonstration would be made against Massachusetts but none came. There was a thrill to this parade that words cannot describe. It made me shiver and quiver. The Soldiers of a Nation parading the streets of the capital city of another cheered by its populace. One of the objects of this convention was to cement the two people together. I believe that it went a long way towards accomplishing its purpose." HISTORICAL NOTES: Originally named Tyrrhenia the S.S. Lancastria was the sister of Cameronia II of the Anchor Line which Cunard owned from 1911 until 1935. Built by Wm. Beardmore & Co. of Glasgow the Tyrrhenia was launched in 1920 and made her maiden voyage Glasgow-Quebec-Montreal on June 13 1922. She then ran from Liverpool to Canada Boston or New York until placed on the Hamburg-New York route in 1923. Refitted and renamed Lancastria during the winter of 1923-34 she then served New York from Liverpool Southampton or London until 1932 after which Lancastria was used mostly for cruising. Requisitioned for use as a troopship in 1940 Lancastria was bombed and sunk at St. Nazaire on 17 June 1940 during the evacuation of France. As many as 9000 people mostly British troops were on board. At least 3000 and perhaps as many as 5000 died in the costliest British merchant ship loss of the war. Winston Churchill felt the country's morale could not bear the burden of such terrible news and newspapers were ordered not to print the story. Survivors were forbidden under the King's Regulations to mention the disaster and people killed were listed as "missing in action". This led to the assumption by most bereaved relatives that they probably died during the bloody retreat through France. However the story of the sinking finally broke in New York newspapers on July 26 1940 and was soon afterwards taken up by the British press. The official report is still sealed until the year 2040 under the Official Secrets Act. If it could be proved that Sharpe was ordered by Ministry of Defense Officials to ignore his maximum load restriction there could be considerable grounds for compensation claims against the British Government. Currently the evidence for this remains under lock and key for another 31 years. The diary has 50 pages filled with handwritten entries plus there are an additional 12 pages with notations on his purchases cost of the trip etc. 4 1/2" x 7 1/4" and it is VG.; 24mo - over 5" - 5�" tall; KEYWORDS: SS LANCASTRIA OCEAN TRAVEL TYRRHENIA EVACUATION OF FRANCE POST WORLD WAR I WWI HANDWRITTEN MANUSCRIPT DOCUMENT LETTER AUTOGRAPH DIARY JOURNAL LOG KEEPSAKE WRITER HAND WRITTEN DOCUMENTS SIGNED LETTERS MANUSCRIPTS HISTORICAL HOLOGRAPH WRITERS DIARIES JOURNALS LOGS AUTOGRAPHS PERSONAL MEMOIR MEMORIAL PERSONAL HISTORY AMERICANA Als antiquit� contrat v�lin document manuscrit papier Antike Brief Pergament Dokument Manuskript Papier oggetto d'antiquariato atto velina documento manoscritto carta antig�edad hecho vitela documento manuscrito Papel . unknown
