CUSTOMS OFFICERS BARLOW, DAY and HAGNER
1938 - 1939 ORIGINAL PRE WORLD WAR II MANUSCRIPT JOURNAL OF 3 CUSTOMS OFFICERS SEIZING GOODS AND ARRESTING SMUGGLERS IN THE PORT OF NEW YORK
NEW YORK CITY NEW YORK. Fair. 1938. On offer is an original 1938 - 1939 manuscript relic of pre World War II policing by three US Customs and Duty officers named Barlow Day and Hagner. The entries list seizures they made the date the name of the ship which pier the items seized and the value of these items. Historians and researchers of such work will be amazed at the breadth of the seized items beyond the assumed liquor tobacco and weapons. The notes detail such sundry items pyjamas perfume sandals table cloths lotion wallets shell boxes cameras tea jewellery coins and more. Included within the pages of the journal are several newspaper clippings. Four of them were obits for a man by the name of Sgt. John E. Day who died during WWII. He was the brother of custom's agent Edward F. Day. There are also a few articles about a narcotics bust mostly opium showing a woman by the name of Madeline Mayling as the suspect. In part: "June 9th 1939. United States Customs agents were set last night to crack down on a huge Broadway drug syndicate as a result of the arrest of a woman head of a gown shop and the seizure of more than $15000 worth of crude gum opium and morphine base on her person. The woman under arrest is Madeline Mayling 38 who operated the Helene Modes Inc. on the 6th floor of the Gayety Gaiety Theatre Building 1547 Broadway
She was captured as she walked off the Italian liner Vulcania last Friday night with 12 1/2 pound slabs of opium under her girdle. "I thought it was imported Roquefort or limburger cheese" she insisted. She is held in default of $25000 bail charged with smuggling. An alleged accomplice whose name is withheld also is under arrest
.Other narcotics were found at her home and at her place of business a Broadway dress shop
.In her apartment a fully loaded automatic pistol was also found
" Another article notes that a woman was hiding four pounds of pure heroin in the soles of her shoes; several pairs. The handwritten entry in the journal that shows where they arrested Madeline but she was going under the alias name of "Helen Hoffman" as the newspaper article states. There is also a small typed piece of paper which is titled "Enforcement Division Notes." This piece talks about Guard E. F. Day who was "strolling" on board the S. S. Pacific which was docked in Brooklyn at the time. He decided to search the seamen's wash room and found a bottle that ordinarily contained pickles when actually it was "Preserved Marijuana." It was concealed under the iron floor of the wash room. This is really a fascinating 37 pages of intimate details of the unique service these officers performed. There are about 40 different ships mentioned including: the Normandie California Virginia Ile de France New York Champlain Rotterdam Berlin Queen Mary Breman and many more. Some of the piers are; Constable Hook in Bayonne New Jersey Claremont Terminal in New Jersey New Briton Boat Landing in Staten Island Pier 18 North River Brooklyn piers and more. Finally in the back of this journal is two page handwritten entry about a Grand Jury session concerning the seizure of opium on board the ship SS Menclaus. Seems they found opium in the bottom of a bucket hidden under some clothing and belonging to Lee Foo Yung. The diary it's in poor shape with the cover detached but present and the cover is also torn at the spine in places. There are a few torn out pages but the diary itself has over 100 pages of which 37 have entries. Binding still looks good and there is a bit of foxing around the edges of the pages. The journal measures about 4 ¾" x 6 ¾". Overall Fair.; Manuscript; 24mo - over 5" - 5¾" tall; KEYWORDS: HISTORY OF OPIUM HEROIN NORMANDIE QUEEN MARY MAYLING BUST CUSTOM AGENTS BARLOW DAY HAGNER SMUGGLING POLICE ENFORCEMENT CRIMINALITY CRIMINAL CRIME CRIME PROCEDURE CUSTOMS SEIZURES PRE WORLD WAR II DEPRESSION ERA NARCOTICS DRUGS AMERICANA HANDWRITTEN MANUSCRIPT DOCUMENT LETTER AUTOGRAPH DIARY JOURNAL LOG KEEPSAKE WRITER HAND WRITTEN DOCUMENTS SIGNED LETTERS MANUSCRIPTS PHOTO ALBUM PHOTOGRAPHIC ALBUM HISTORICAL HOLOGRAPH WRITERS HANDSCHRIFT HANDGESCHRIEBEN MANUSKRIPT DIARIES JOURNALS LOGS AUTOGRAPHS PERSONAL MEMOIR MEMORIAL PERSONAL HISTORY antiquité contrat vélin document manuscrit papier Antike Brief Pergament Dokument Manuskript Papier oggetto d'antiquariato atto velina documento manoscritto carta antigüedad hecho vitela documento manuscrito Papel . hardcover

In World War II he saw active service as a commissioned officer with the British Army in Ethiopia Eritrea and fought in the Western Desert Campaign where he was taken prisoner of war in 1941 spending the remainder of the war in prisoner of war camps in Italy and Germany. He joined the British Broadcasting Corporation on return to England in 1946 and became a well known broadcaster and travelled the world as a BBC correspondent. He reported on the Korean War.

Reviewing one of Cutforth's television programmes entitled The Forties Revisited the critic Clive James wrote in The Observer: "Cutforth is that rare thing a front man with background. Fitzrovia and Soho weigh heavily on his eyelids. His voice sounds like tea-chests full of books being shifted about.".He died in his 76th year at Great Maplestead in the county of Essex on 1 April 1984." wiki.

Cutinelli-Rèndina Emanuele
Guicciardini
br. Francesco Guicciardini fu insieme a Machiavelli il più importante rappresentante del pensiero politico e storiografico fiorentino del '500. La sua figura è stata per secoli oscurata da riserve di ordine morale legate alla cinica dottrina del "particulare", ma con le celebrazioni legate al V centenario della nascita (1983) si è aperta una stagione ricca di nuove edizioni di documenti e studi importanti che hanno gettato sui suoi testi una luce diversa. Il volume, mettendo a frutto le acquisizioni più recenti, ne elabora un nuovo e convincente profilo storico-critico. Sono, infatti, ben evidenziate la centralità e il rilievo europeo, insieme al pensiero politico e costituzionale, incunabolo del conservatorismo moderno, e alla scrittura così personale e persino rivoluzionaria dei 'Ricordi'. Personalità forte ma intimamente contrastata, Guicciardini fu anche uno dei maggiori protagonisti della scena politica dei suoi tempi. La sua azione e il pensiero vigoroso straordinariamente moderno ne fanno, attraverso il capolavoro la Storia d'Italia, un "padre" della storiografia contemporanea.

CYRUS E JOY, Midshipman
1837 - 1840 EXTRAORDINARY ORIGINAL PRIVATE JOURNAL HANDWRITTEN BY A MIDSHIPMAN AS THE SHIP TRAVELS TO RUSSIA TO MEET THE EMPEROR THEN MOVES ON TO SOUTH AMERICA TASKED WITH PROTECTING AMERICAN COMMERCE AT ALL COSTS AS FLAGSHIP OF THE BRAZIL STATION
BOSTON TO KRONSTADT TO BRAZIL STATION. Good. 1837. On offer is a journal recorded during a fascinating time in General American and U.S. Naval History. The journal is written on the U.S.S. Independence as she travels from Boston to Portsmouth England onto Copenhagen and Kronstadt to receive a visit from Russian Emperor Nicholas I. The Independence then leaves Russia for Rio de Janeiro where she becomes the Flagship of the Brazil Station tasked with the duty to guard American commerce along the eastern seaboard of South America during the war between France and Argentina. A page in the very beginning of the book states Private Journal of A Cruise in U.S. Ship Independence During the years 1837 1838 1839 and 1840 Under Commo. John B. Nicolson On the Brazilian Station. Another a bit later states Cyrus E. Joy. U.S. Ship Independence. Cyrus Joy is presumably the author of the journal. The ship leaves Boston on May 20th 1837 in presence of thousands of spectators who crowded the adjacent wharves to witness our departure. On board the ship is the Honorable George M. Dallas who at that time had served as Mayor of Philadelphia U.S. Senator from Pennsylvania 183133 and would eventually become the 11th Vice President of the United States in 1845 under President James K. Polk. According to the journal author he is said to be a man of exalting talents sound discriminating judgements. At the time Mr. Dallas had been recently appointed Minister to Russia. The ship crosses the Atlantic in what a soldier would call quickest time and the ship reaches Portsmouth England after 22 days. On the 20th of June the King of England William IV dies and the next day Queen Victoria his niece ascends the throne. All colours in the harbors and most likely in the kingdom were displayed at half mast and we fired guns in honour of the deceased. Soon after this firing ceased we manned the rigging cheered ship and fired a Royal Salute on the occasion of Queen Victoria's daughter of the Duke of Kent and niece to the late Sovereign. The ship moves on to Copenhagen then Kronstadt situated at the head of the gulf of Finland. The ship is visited by the Emperor Nicholas and wife. We were by no means in condition for such a visit. We had been up the greater part of the preceding night and after coming to anchor pulling sail &c. We proceeded to holy-stone the decks washed and dried them down in the neatest manner. After this we ___ our topmast rigging in afresh and the utmost exertions were used by all hands to put the ship in the best order for the expected visit though she was after all very far from being in first-rate condition. The author describes the Emperor as a tall stout well made man with light reddish hair blue eyes high forehead and high cheek bones and has a remarkably loft and commanding appearance. The author speaks very highly of Nicholas and the visit goes smoothly and enjoyably. The whole event is a thoroughly enjoyable portion of the journal. The author spends time comparing the Danes and the Russians before the ship leaves again this time heading for Rio de Janeiro. This section of the journal ends as the ship reaches Portsmouth England again. The journal begins again in 1839 as the ship is in South America protecting American commerce. Feb. 9th 1839. Here we found our presence much needed for the protection of American property. When we left the first time the French had nothing like a respectable force on the station.Their forces however have been increased but are also too weak for the a blockade of more than the port of Buenos Aires. The entries in this portion are spread out with long periods in between each entry. The ship seems to go between Rio and Montevideo providing protection of American trading ships in the area. The author also speaks of the reasons for the war and the Independences role in helping mediate the conflict as well as thoughts on the role of the American Navy in the formations of a character abroad as well as at home. The soldiers also seem fairly unhappy on the ship after a while. Jan 1st 1840. At Montevideo and little prospect of leaving soon. More than 100 of the men have completed the full term for which they entered the services and are clamorous to be sent home.Under these circumstances no ship can hardly be deemed fit for actual service. The ship finally leaves the Brazil Station after being thirty five months on this cruise. I think I shall stop at home a few months at least. The journal continues with the next entry explaining that after three months of doing nothing Mr. Joy joins the Montezuma Capt. Christiansen bound to Liverpool. Having heard of such a thing as Happy England he is struck all aback to see the number of prostitutes beggars ballad singers &c. I do believe that in this single place there is more persons of the above description than in the whole of the U.S. You can not walk from the docks up in the city without being accosted every two or three minutes by a female with I say Jack wont you treat us or Shipmate give us a chew tobacco will ye or God bless your honour you havnt got never a penny for a poor fellow have ye. The entry ends with a list entitled U.S. Ship Independence. List of Officers 20th May 1837. John B. Nicolson. The list contains more than 3 dozen names of all the men on board including midshipman on the ship. There is also a list of Salutes fired during the years 1837 38 39 & 40. with the columns Date No. of guns Quantity of powder and When and on the opposite page On What occasion. The list is 12 pages long and provides a fantastic and comprehensive list of where the Independence was during the years of the authors journal and the special occasions on which it fired salutes. The journal also contains a hand drawn portrait of the face of Emperor Nicholas I with the date July 29th 1837 written underneath. The drawing is amateur but very well done in a number of colors. The book is roughly 220 pages in which there is writing in approximately 70 or 80 pages. The handwriting is easy to read and legible throughout in black ink which is rarely faded. The pages show some discoloration and wear but nothing that affects the legibility of the writing. The cover shows a good deal of wear and age damage but is still very structurally sound. A number of the pages with writing have come loose from the binding but are still gathered together so they are not loose from each other. There are two major gatherings detached and the rest of the book is still in the binding. Overall: G. Sample Text: May 19th 1837. All ready for sea and people in crowds visiting our ship. Some probably to see and be seen but many very many to take leave of friends and comrades dear bound on a long and tiresome cruise. Such numbers came off in boats that it was impossible to admit all and numbers were compelled to return without bidding their friends farewell as gratifying their curiosity by inspecting our kindly beautiful ship.; July 4th. We fired a National Salute but had no merry making on the occasion. It was in fact the dullest Fourth I have ever witnessed.; June 23rd 1839. We have been nearly 18 months from Boston before we were allowed to go on shore and many of us have been almost two years on board without having been out of the ship.I am of opinion the men should have had liberty much oftener: and I believe they might have had it without detriment to the service or themselves. Background: The USS Independence was a wooden-hulled three-masted ship originally a ship of the line and the first to be commissioned by the United States Navy. Originally a 90-gun ship in 1836 she was cut down by one deck and re-rated as a 54-gun frigate. Independence recommissioned on 26 March 1837 and sailed from Boston on 20 May 1837 as flagship of Commodore John B. Nicholson. On board for her record passage across the Atlantic Ocean to England was the Honorable George Dallas Minister to Russia. She arrived at Portsmouth England 13 June called at Copenhagen; then proceeded into Kronstadt 29 July 1837 to receive a visit from the Emperor Nicholas I of Russia. Two days later a steam boat arrived to transport Mr. Dallas and his family to St. Petersburg. Having received marked social courtesies from the Russian government Independence departed Kronstadt on 13 August 1837 for Rio de Janeiro where she became flagship of the Brazil Squadron to guard American commerce along the eastern seaboard of South America. This duty continued into the spring of 1839 when Commodore Nicholson attempted mediation to end the war between France and Argentina. The Independence returned north to New York on 30 March 1840. She was laid up in ordinary until 14 May 1842 when she became flagship of Commodore Charles Stewart in the Home Squadron. Based at Boston and New York she continued as his flagship until laid up in ordinary on 3 December 1845.; Manuscript; 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall; KEYWORDS: HISTORY OF CYRUS E. JOY U.S.S.
