‎BUXTON, L.H. Dudley‎

‎Present Conditions in Inner Mongolia - 06‎

‎Title: Present Conditions in Inner Mongolia. Author: L. H. Dudley Buxton Publisher: London: Edward Stanford, Royal Geographical Society, 1923. Pre-Dates Book! Item is in Original Condition, with Blue Wrappers - As Issued, Complete with All the Ads! Notes & Condition: Buxton's journey into Mongolia took place during the Mongolian Revolution which had begun in 1921, and which in 1923 would end Chinese occupation over Mongolia and expel the Russian White Guards. The civil war created disorganization and delay with rail travel and on the trade routes, causing alternate planning now and then, but also revealing to Buxton the political relations between Mongolia, Russia and China which were effecting consequential changes to the area. As one who was deeply captivated by the history of human races migrating, coexisting and eventually integrating with one another, there could not have been a more opportune time for his journey, in spite of the unsettled conditions surrounding him. The journey began at Kalgan (Zhangjiakou). As Buxton enters regions of Mongolia not yet penetrated by the Chinese agriculturalist, he describes the Mongol ways of life, with much appreciation for their fortitude, and holding special respect for their ability to travel long distances by camel. He describes temporary travel encampments, small remote villages consisting of yurts, and pastoral plains housing herd of Mongolian ponies. In other regions he describes the rapid encroachment of Chinese farmers, and Chinese traders who are quick to follow suit. A substantial immigration of Arabic speaking Chinese Muslim groups who claimed to come from as far as Samarkand was taking place at the time, and causing great uneasiness among the Mongols who did not trust these particular foreigners. Learned on the subject, Buxton presents a most captivating perspective on the ebb and flow of humanity which had taken place for many hundred years over the stretch of country between the Great Wall of China and the Gobi Desert. He discusses Chinese influence in Mongolian culture, achieved through trading outposts in particular, at times the traders and agriculturists moving towards the ambiguous boundaries of the desert, and at times being pushed back by the pastoral inhabitants of Mongolia. He concludes with a theory of imminent decline of Mongolian tradition, and predicting a dynastic northern expansion into Mongolia. The report pre-dates the Buxton's books, "The Eastern Road", which was published in 1924, and "The peoples of Asia" published in 1925. 8vo. 21 pages, plus photographic plates for illustration. Original condition with blue wrappers, titles to front, and containing all the ads. This is a complete issue, seldom found in such good and original condition. Excerpt from the text: "The region described in this report was known to the Chinese as the Country of Long Grass. It lay just beyond the Wall on the great trade route from Kalgan to Urga... it was my good fortune to ride through a small part of the land at a particularly interesting time. When I left Peking, Wu Pei Fu and Chang Tsao Lin had just started to fight, and as I went down the pass leading to Kalgon on his return, I met scattered bands who had decided after the manner of Chinese soldiery that for the time being, at least, they were better employed as civilians. ..." "Our purpose in visiting the Grass Lands... if possible to see something of the Mongols themselves... To all those of us whose fortune it has been to gallop with these wild horsemen across the plains, to sit round an argul fire in their felt tents, and to watch lambs being folded in the evening... want to go back there again." "A number of Mongols are always to be met with on the road in charge of the caravans... their dark blue tents near the road soon after leaving Sinhwa, but did not meet a more permanent settlement till we came to Chahar-hara... the first big truly Mongol settlement..." "The caravans pass and disappear between the hills, and the only human things are the little villages of the Mongols." "The struggle to my mind almost resolves itself into a study of the position of the boundary between the agricultural civilization, proudly called by the Chinese the Middle Kingdom, and the barbarian pastoral nomads, to describe whom the Chinese expended all the vituperation..." "The great mobility of the nomads and the stability of the tillers of the earth..." "The Mongol, even though there may be rumours of brigands on the road, prefers the old-time custom and sleeps outside..." "The revolution of 1911, which removed the yoke of the Manchus and at the same time their protecting influence, is possibly the most important political fact for Inner Mongolia." "Lamaism is entirely dominant, although some of the old shamanist rites still survive... traditional magic forms and ceremonies... Sheeps and goats are sacrificed... two-thirds of the adult male population become lamas and take vows of celibacy." End Excerpt. Leonard Halford Dudley Buxton (1890-1939) was an anthropologist and professor who carried out work in India, China, the USA, Mesopotamia and in Malta. In 1912 he obtained a distinction in the Diploma in Anthropology at Oxford University. He subsequently taught physical anthropology there. In 1913 he was appointed Demonstrator in Physical Anthropology and undertook fieldwork in Cyprus, under the auspices of the Archaeological Expedition of the British Association. Buxton undertook some craniometrics and was, for example, involved in examining archaeological material from Crete and Mesopotamia, although his interest was more in general ethnology and in recording the patterns of human anatomy and race from around the world. One of his students was American anthropologist Henry Field, whom he accompanied on an expedition to Iraq. Buxton was a member of the Department of Anatomy, and in 1922 was appointed Lecturer in Physical Anthropology. In 1927 he became the first Reader in Physical Anthropology at Oxford. For many years Buxton worked closely with British anthropologist Beatrice Blackwood who ran the Pitt Rivers Museum, until he died suddenly of pneumonia.‎

Cover somewhat faded and worn at the extremities some foxing The British writer and poet Mary Clarissa 'May' Byron née Gillington 1861-1936 wrote a 'series of biographies describing the day-to-day lives of various artists. Her series Days with the Great Composers Days with the Great Authors Days with the Great Poets and Days with Victorian Poets were published under a number of different pen names: her birth name M. C. Gillington; her married name May Byron; and her pseudonym Maurice Clare. . May Byron's biographies were generally well-received though some critics could not tell if they were first hand or fiction based on research. The books went on to inspire others and her biography A Day with Shakespeare written under the pseudonym 'Maurice Clare' was particularly influential for James Joyce in writing Ulysses'.

Es handelt sich sowohl um Kunstwerke wie auch um Werke der angewandten Kunst, die zudem aus unterschiedlichen Kulturen stammen und aus einem Zeitraum von fünftausend Jahren. Ihre Nähe, so die Grundthese, resultiert aus einer verbindenden geistigen Haltung, aus der heraus sie entstanden sind. Dies soll im Folgenden an einer Reihe von ausgewählten Beispielen exemplarisch gezeigt werden. Die Werke von asiatischer Seite, stammend aus dem heutigen Thailand, Kambodscha und China, spannen einen zeitlichen Bogen von der Prähistorie bis zum 20. Jahrhundert. Vertreten sind neben Tusch-Malerei und plastischen Arbeiten auch Schmuck, Gebrauchsgegenstände wie Möbel, Gefäße, ein Weihrauchbrenner. Ebenso vielfältig sind die verarbeiteten Materialien, deren Namen alleine schon eine Schatzkammer evozieren: Tusche und Papier, Stein, Keramik, Bronze, das gesuchte chinesische Huanghuali-Holz (Rosenholz), Marmor, Achat und Serpentin, Quarz, Perlen, Muscheln, Knochen, Glas. Neben dem ästhetischen Vergnügen, den der Anblick, die Berührung dieser erlesenen Kostbarkeiten gewähren, gibt es noch einen weiteren, bedeutenden Aspekt, der alle diese Dinge in ihrer Vielfalt und Unterschiedlichkeit dennoch als zusammengehörig erweist und erfahrbar macht, sie zusammenhält. Es ist, zunächst etwas abstrakt gesagt, das in Hinduismus und Buddhismus, aber auch in den zeitlich vorhergehenden schamanistischen Traditionen Asiens auffällige Fehlen einer sich als zentral den Dingen der Welt gegenüber setzenden Ich-Instanz. Diese hatte sich hier im Westen, im klassischen Griechenland, in der Philosophie von Piaton und Aristoteles herausgebildet und in der Folge den Siegeszug durch die Geistesgeschichte Europas angetreten, um in moderne Technik, Wissenschaft und Industrialisierung zu münden. ...
