II 11; II 12-35; I 36-60; I 61-101; I 103-138 ll.Five secret British military reconnaissance reports made by the South China Command in Hong Kong for the Under Secretary of State at the War Office in London giving a very detailed account of sites of military importance in Guangdong and Fujian provinces on the southeast coast of mainland China at a critical moment in Chinese history. It includes a description of the famous Whampoa Huangpu Military Academy established by Sun Yat-sen in 1924 with help from the Soviet Union and commanded by the young Chiang Kai-shek in his first major post the Guangzhou radio transmitting station the aerodrome near the academy arsenals railways fortifications other prospective military targets the topography of the region and possible landing sites for an invasion. The folding plan shows "The Asiatic Petroleum Co's wharf Amoy" with extensive soundings reproducing a drawing dated 14 September 1919. The British were secretly preparing for military intervention in China during a period of tension between China and the western powers. Although the text gives some background information and a few anecdotes about events in China some Chinese feared the compiler might be a Russian spy it mostly leaves political opinions to the politicians and concentrates on the factual information the military would need if England decided to invade China.The Hong Kong cover letters indicate that these reports were distributed in only three to five copies all but one going to Asian offices and we have located no surviving copies besides the present ones. Some worm holes especially in the first few and last few leaves slightly affecting 2 photographs and with occasional minor chips and tears the folding plan has separated at the folds a folding photographic panorama assembled from 3 photographs has one part torn through and another photo has a faded patch but most text leaves and photographs are in good condition. A detailed secret report of British military reconnaissance in southern China as the civil war between Communists and Nationalist broke out.l For the British militaryÂ’s view of the circumstances: J. Parkinson The Royal Navy China Station 2018 pp. 359-372. unknown

Relentlessly pushing his own boundaries as a writer�and in the process expanding the boundaries of the entire field�with Embassytown Mi�ville has crafted an extraordinary novel that is not only a moving personal drama but a gripping adventure of alien contact and war.

Avice Benner Cho a human colonist has returned to Embassytown after years of deep-space adventure. She cannot speak the Ariekei tongue but she is an indelible part of it having long ago been made a figure of speech a living simile in their language. When distant political machinations deliver a new ambassador to Arieka the fragile equilibrium between humans and aliens is violently upset. Catastrophe looms and Avice is torn between competing loyalties�to a husband she no longer loves to a system she no longer trusts and to her place in a language she cannot speak yet speaks through her whether she likes it or not. inventory #40887 ISBN: 9780345524492. hardcover

Collection of 12 vintage photographs from the late 19th century showing China Indonesia the Hawaiian Islands California and Egypt. Of the 4 photographs of China 2 show Hong Kong including one possibly by the famous Chinese photographer Lai Fong ca. 1839-1890 showing Queen's Road Central. The two rarest photographs show several of the 7500 imperial examination cubicles in Canton Guangzhou while a photograph by A Chan Ya Zhen shows the famous five-story pagoda on Kun Yam Hill in 1870. The Indonesian island Java can be seen on 3 photographs including one of lake Telaga Warna by the British firm Woodbury & Page based in Batavia Jakarta. Taken further to the west were 3 photographs of Hawaii probably all taken in or near Honolulu. A rare undated photograph of the statue of King Kamehameha was taken probably right after the unveiling ceremony in 1883 as it shows a small wooden fence around the statue which can be seen in an illustration in The Graphic 28 April 1883 but is absent from all later images. Of the 2 final images one by Isaiah West Taber 1830-1912 shows Midway Point in Monterey California and the other by Hippolyte Arnoux fl. 1860-1890 a group of Arabs and camels waiting for the ferry near El Qantara in Egypt. Most of the photographs are worn at the edges with small tears and folds and a few have small holes; one of the images of Hawaii with a waterstain at the lower margin. unknown
