The move of the Crystal Palace to neighbouring Sydenham in 1854 and the ensuing railway connection enabled rapid growth of the South London suburb and the need for churches. W. J.

The events advertised for and described in newspaper cuttings are for musical performances with readings of edificatory stories interspersed 'Penny Readings' all introduced by Mr. William J.

‎[St John's Episcopal Church (Ensley, Ala); Ladies of the Church]‎

‎Cook Book. Compiled by ladies of St. John's Episcopal Church Ensley Alabama‎

‎Ensley Alabama: The Church; Printed by Garrison Printer 1915. Octavo 21 x 13.5 cm. 89 i pages. Advertisements. Index and “Index of advertisements.†Date of publication estimated from external evidence. Evident FIRST EDITION. A church cookbook from a once independent municipality at the moment of its absorption into greater Birmingham. Nearly three hundred recipes some of them attributed; including: English Currant Bread Poached Eggs with Creamed Celery Fried Okra with Onions Artichoke à la Barigoile i.e. Barigoule Creamed Parsnips Cherry Salad Savory Custard Prune Trifle Chelee Sauce Rhubarb Relish Scuppernong Wine Coffee Jelly Watermelon Preserves. ~ Located at the southern edge of the Pratt Coal Seam Ensley was a planned industrial city built on land acquired by Enoch Ensley 1832-1891 to provide housing as well as communal and commercial infrastructure for workers employed in the coal and iron ore mines of the Tennessee Coal Iron & Railroad Company. Residents’ experience in self-governance was short: the city was incorporated in February 1899 but annexed by Birmingham on the first day of 1910. Opposition to the takeover was vigorous – a mock funeral was held and a tombstone laid to commemorate the “euthanized†city – such that the persistence of the community’s independent identity works against clarity regarding the appearance of the St. John’s Cook Book. Advertisements for two theaters equipped to exhibit silent films place the range of dates across the annexation divide: both – that for the Belle Theatre on page 2 and that for the Franklin Theatre on page 28 – announce adherence to guidelines set forth by the National Board of Censorship a name for what became the National Review Board in use only between late 1909 and 1915. ~ The history of Episcopalians in Alabama cannot be separated from the history of advocacy for slavery nor from the influential tenure of the Confederate episcopate of Richard Hooker Wilmer 1816-1900 an ardent proponent of secession. Unlike Methodists Baptists and Presbyterians Episcopalians did not divide over issues surrounding abolition. While their numbers declined in the later nineteenth century – Wilmer though under house arrest for demonstrations of hostility against the United States president was still permitted to serve as bishop – they retained the loyalty of landholders and industrialists. Thus the upper echelons of Ensley grew sufficiently to merit the establishment of a parish which was admitted into the Diocese in 1898 just before formal incorporation of the city. Images of the church for which funds were raised by the Ladies of St. John’s are not listed among the archival holdings now deposited at the Birmingham Public Library. The brick complex that stands at the site today on Ensley West Avenue was built in 1951. The parish having dissolved in 2000 this building was listed for sale in 2016. ~ One abrasion along fore-edge of text block. Stapled in publisher’s green wrappers titled in black over brown cloth. Some soiling and a small tape repair to lower edge of front wrapper. Duplicate front wrapper bound in. Scarce. OCLC locates one copy; Cather Fifty Alabama Cookbooks 20; not in Cook Brown or Cagle.

‎Very Good. The original gelatin silver photographs are uniformly mounted on 'The Rose Stereographs' cards with the pair of images printed as one plate 86 × 144 mm; card size 98 × 178 mm with printed captions within each image. All captions commence with the words 'The American Fleet in Australia'. The broken top right-hand corner of one card is held in place with clear tape just touching the top corner of the photograph; all other cards and photographs are in excellent condition. In August and September 1908 the American Grand Fleet which included 16 white-painted battleships visited Sydney and Melbourne during its 14-month world tour. 'George Rose visited both cities armed with his stereoscopic camera and went on board the USSs "Louisiana" and "Wisconsin" taking photographs. He produced exactly 100 views for sale #12800 to #12899 which were packaged as sets of 35 or 36 views in attractive green and gold boxes. Collectors find it difficult to find all the views as the box contents were a random selection with a bias towards the more attractive views and avoidance of shots that were similar' Ron Blum: 'George Rose Australia's Master Stereographer' 2022 fourth edition.

Sutton will be 'publishing certain particulars for the benefit of those present' and will be glad to send Menzies a copy. He continues: 'My experiments which are now in their second year have been carried out solely for the purpose of acquiring knowledge and I have no axe to grind for I am interested in none of the Syndicates formed for the purpose of placing radio-active fertilizers on the market.' He is disappointed that the results of his experiments are 'on the whole distinctly of a negative character' given 'the really elaborate character of the experiments' and 'the marvellous results obtained with radium when applied to plants'. He will consider acting on Menzies invitation to read a paper on the matter but in the meantime asks him to 'treat this letter as confidential'.

‎[SYNDICALISM] SOREL, Georges; TE Hulme, transl T E‎

‎Reflections on Violence‎

‎New York: B.W. Huebsch 1915. First American Edition. First edition in English from the Third French Edition. Bound from British sheets but American publication preceded the U.K. edition by some months see below. Octavo; green cloth with gilt spine-title; x299pp. Spine gilt dulled; rubbing to board edges with spots of board exposure at corners; text slightly toned - still a tight unmarked Very Good copy. With printed bookplate of John L. Elliott to front pastedown. <br /> <br /> A book with a complicated publication history doubtless resulting from the vagaries of British book production during the first years of the Great War. Generally regarded as Sorel's most important work Reflexions sur la Violence first appeared in Paris in 1906 quickly gaining notoriety as the "Bible of Syndicalism." Reflexions is often read as an unapologetic endorsement of violence as a means to political ends; in particular Sorel appears to uphold the General Strike - and the cataclysmic violence that would ensue from a worldwide work stoppage - as the ultimate solution to the problem of the subjugation of labor. But perhaps unsurprisingly for a French philosophical text in the vein of Bergson the book's argument is rather subtler and more multi-layered than this: Sorel endorses the "ideal" of the General Strike while simultaneously acknowledging that no such thing can ever take place in reality - the General Strike is simply a necessary illusion an inspiration and source of energy for all lesser acts of direct resistance. It has been noted that Sorel's de-emphasis of democratic principles in favor of spontaneous eruptions of violence by individuals served as an inspiration to socialists and Fascists alike.<br /> <br /> Despite the book's notoriety including among the intelligentsia of England and America it was not taken up for translation until 1912. It is in August of this year that we find an announcement in the London Evening Standard that ".we are to have an English translation of M. Georges Sorel's 'Reflexions sur la Violence' which is being prepared by Mr. T.E. Hulme and will be published by Messrs. Stephen Swift." Unfortunately the firm of Stephen Swift was liquidated in October of that year when its proprietor Charles Granville was imprisoned for bigamy and embezzlement. We hear no more of Hulme's translation until it is announced for publication in late 1914; the new English publisher was to be the firm of George Allen & Unwin. What follows next is uncertain but can probably be extrapolated from the situation in Great Britain in 1914: publishing like many other industries was severely disrupted as young men rushed to enlist in the newly-declared war against Germany. Reflections originally scheduled to appear in January 1915 did not actually arrive on English booksellers' shelves until September. The delay may well have been the result of wartime conditions. It is also conceivable though we have found no published evidence of this that there was political opposition to bringing out such an inflammatory anticapitalist text at a time when war production was an overwhelming imperative. Whatever the case in the interim the sheets had clearly been shipped to the American publisher B.W. Huebsch - who evidently wasted no time getting the books bound and into the market as the earliest American reviews for Reflections begin appearing in early March 1915. <br /> <br /> Uncharacteristically - whether inadvertently or through some agreement with the British publishers - Huebsch did not place a publication date on the title page of Reflections on Violence. The only date present in the book - 1912 - appears at the conclusion of Sorel's introduction translated from the third Paris edition. This has resulted in a consistent cataloging error visible in a plurality of OCLC listings attributing a 1912 date to the Huebsch edition. In fact a review of contemporary sources as well as Publisher's Weekly show clearly that the book arrived on reviewers' desks sometime in late February or early March 1915. A second American edition appeared in 1919 this edition dated and countless reprints followed. In Great Britain the earliest reviews announcing Reflections as "just published" appear in September 1915. <br /> Reflections on Violence is a landmark of Twentieth Century radicalism widely referenced as an inspiration for the brutal conflicts that would come to define the two decades following its publication. The first edition is rarely seen in commerce; institutional holdings are difficult to parse but most copies appear to be in circulating collections. B.W. Huebsch unknown‎

HENDERSON 1854. N.p.: The author 1971. 8vo. 13 - 83 239 - 264 pp. 3 leaves of b&w plates. Three offprints from the ANNALS OF SCIENCE Volume 27 Nos. 1 & 3 March and September 1971. Staple-bound in orange stiff paper wrappers with cloth spine printed label mounted on front cover erratum affixed to inside cover; a few holograph corrections by the author with his corrected address label affixed. Fine. The Reverend J. B. Read 1801 - 1870 began his experiments in chemistry at an early age. An 1839 letter which he wrote to his brother which was quoted by Sir David Brewster in 1847 describes a photographic process involving silver nitrate and gallic acid which was fixed with "hypo" sodium hyposulfite. As a result Brewster asserted that Reade's experiments predated Talbot's caloype patent and were so credited in the early histories. In this letter to Robert Hunt the photographer and historian who penned the first English book on photography " A Popular Treatise on the Art of Photography 1841" Reade stakes his claim as one of the early inventors of the medium.<br /> <br /> The three offprints by Derek Wood provided an in-depth history of Reade's actual experiments and contributions and correct the prior misconceptions of chronological events.<br /> <br /> Roosen and Salu No. 9204 and 9205. OCLC does not locate Reade's offprint and lists the George Eastman House the Public Records Office U.K. and the National Art Library Victoria & Albert Museum as the only holders of the volume by Derek Wood.
