‎At sea in the South Pacific and on Guam 1944. Twenty loose photographs. Minor wear a few images slightly faded. Very good. An interesting and unique group of annotated photographs from an unknown United States Navy midshipman aboard the USS PRESIDENT MONROE recording activities in the Pacific Theater during World War II. All twenty photographs have notes written on one or both sides. The USS PRESIDENT MONROE was built just prior to World War II and proved instrumental during the Gilbert Islands invasion the operations in the Marshall Islands and at the invasion of Guam. All three of these events are memorialized here with images of the Navy on and in the waters around Guam a shot of indigenous people and another of a U.S. tank on Tarakawa Gilbert Islands and shots of prisoners of war captured on the Marshall Islands. <br> <br> Five of the photographs show the Japanese and Korean prisoners of war in the sick bay aboard the MONROE. Four of the photographs depict Japanese prisoners; one image shows Korean captives. One shot shows a Navy doctor performing a surgical procedure on one of the wounds of the "Wounded Jap prisoner of war.captured in Marshall Islands." Another photograph of a struggling Japanese P.O.W. is annotated on the verso "Wounded Jap prisoner of war in sick bay on board USS Pres. Monroe was captured on Marshall Islands. Note shrapnel wounds on legs." The notation on the back of a photograph picturing a trio of P.O.W.s standing amidst armed American soldiers reads: "Korean war prisoners captured on Kwajalein Marshall Islands. Picture was taken in brig on U.S.S. Pres. Monroe." Other images show the destruction of Kwajalein one of the Marshall Islands and Navy men on Tarawa in the Gilbert Islands unknown‎

‎TREATY OF PEACE BETWEEN THE ALLIED AND ASSOCIATED POWERS AND BULGARIA AND PROTOCOL SIGNED AT NEUILLY-SUR-SEINE NOVEMBER 27 1919. PRESENTED TO PARLIAMENT BY COMMAND OF HIS MAJEST‎

‎London: His Majesty's Stationery Offic 1920. iv86pp. Folio. Original printed front wrapper rear wrapper lacking. Wrapper chipped at edges. Closed tear in titlepage repaired with tape closed tear in final two leaves with no loss. Good. Lacks the folding map. Though they fought together in common cause the defeated nations of World War I signed separate treaties with the victorious Allies the Treaty of Versailles with Germany being only the most famous of five treaties ending the Great War. This is the official British printing of the Treaty of Neuilly-sur-Seine made between the Allied and Associated Powers and defeated Bulgaria and signed more than a year after the Armistice of November 1918. The first part prints the Covenant of the League of Nations. The second part sets the new national boundaries under which Bulgaria had to give land to Yugoslavia and western Thrace to Greece. Under the section on reparations Bulgaria had to recognize her complicity with Germany in waging the war the infamous "war guilt clause" and also had to agree to pay penalties in the amount of 2250000000 francs. Other clauses address political military the Bulgarian army was limited to twenty thousand men economic and labor issues. Though the United States was a signatory to the Treaty of Neuilly-sur-Seine the Senate refused to ratify it. This treaty is an important part of the settlements ending the First World War little known and scarce on the market. His Majesty's Stationery Offic unknown‎

‎[Civil War‎

‎CORRESPONDENCE BETWEEN JAMES MASON AND THE BRITISH GOVERNMENT DURING THE CIVIL WAR‎

‎London: Printed by Harrison and Sons 1863. No. 2 1863: 17pp. No. 14 1864: 37pp. Gathered signatures stitched separately. Overall very good partially untrimmed. The Confederacy wanted Britain's recognition as a separate and independent country. Britain which relied heavily on Southern cotton naturally favored the Confederacy secretly helping to arm warships but was reluctant to grant official recognition. James Mason was selected as the Confederate representative to England and his mission was clear. These documents reflect his attempts to secure recognition for the Confederacy as well as other concerns. <br> <br> NORTH AMERICA. No. 2. 1863. CORRESPONDENCE WITH MR. MASON RESPECTING THE BLOCKADE AND RECOGNITION OF THE CONFEDERATE STATES. Contains much information on ships entered and cleared at blockaded ports as well as a letter subtly asking the British government to please continue trade despite the blockade. Also has copies of correspondence between Mason and Earl Russell in which Mason openly tries to convince Russell to recognize the Confederacy Russell seems unreceptive refusing personal interviews and writing terse responses. <br> <br> NORTH AMERICA. No. 14. 1864. CORRESPONDENCE WITH MR. MASON COMMISSIONER OF THE SO-STYLED CONFEDERATE STATES OF AMERICA. Correspondence about various matters: sinking of a steamer in British waters removal of British consuls etc. An extract from the Richmond Whig shows the frustration felt by the Confederacy: "to be sure we know that we have no national existence outside of our own fond imaginations and that in the eyes of Great Britain we are still part and parcel of the United States and destined for all she cares to remain so forever.

‎A SERIES OF WISDOM AND POLICY: BEING A FULL JUSTIFICATION OF ALL OUR MEASURES EVER SINCE THE YEAR 1721 INCLUSIVE; AND ESPECIALLY OF OUR LATE MOST HONOURABLE CONVENTION WITH SPAI‎

‎London: T. Coope 1739. 63pp. Dbd. Very good. A defense of Robert Walpole's international policy leading up to and including the Convention of El Pardo January 1739. Walpole's long diplomatic efforts praised by the anonymous author of this pamphlet would soon prove to have been in vain as the Prime Minister reluctantly declared war on Spain later in the year. The result was the desultory affair known as the War of Jenkins' Ear. Of this pamphlet's two 1739 editions the present one is given priority by EUROPEAN AMERICANA and CATALOGUE OF THE GOLDSMITHS' LIBRARY OF ECONOMIC LITERATURE.
