Actions and Trials and Other Proceedings Relating to Marriage Before the Passing of the Present Divorce Act. London: N.p c.1880. iv 110 2 pp. Octavo 7-1/2" x 5". Three-quarter calf over marbled boards rebacked retaining portions of original backstrip hinges mended. Some rubbing to extremities offsetting and foxing to endleaves light toning to text. A handsome copy of a scarce title. $250. Only edition. With two cases involving Thomas Erskine as counsel. "Actions for what was formerly known.as criminal conversation were nominally abolished thirty years ago: that they were not actually got rid of as will presently be shewn is evident from the wording of the Divorce Act. It is a remarkable fact however that in spite of the loose wording of the Act such actions have become of such a rare occurrence as to be virtually at an end and what the Act was intended to bring about while failing to do it technically has yet to come to pass. The object of the following pages is to show the nature of the legal proceedings formerly in vogue as necessary before an injured husband could clear himself of an adulterous wife and marry again and a number of interesting cases which attracted a deal of public attention in their day are given from which it may be readily perceived with what facility conspiracy and fraud could be perpetuated.": Preface iii.

1938réf. 228671938. Anderson Doris Garland. Nier Lover 1938 is an interracial marriage memoir documenting the life of a white English woman married to Garland Anderson one of the earliest Black dramatists to achieve a full-length Broadway production. Published for a British audience in the interwar period the work supports research into African American theater history interracial relationships and transatlantic racial attitudes prior to the modern civil rights movement. The narrative records lived experiences of racial discrimination and social exclusion across Britain Europe Canada and the United States situating personal life within the broader structures of Jim Crow segregation and informal racial hierarchies in the Atlantic world. Anderson Doris Garland. Nier Lover. London: L. N. Fowler & Co. Ltd. 1938. First edition. Octavo. Publisher's dark gray cloth boards lettered in white on spine and upper cover.

Episodes include hotels that accepted them as guests but refused shared accommodations social ostracism within English society and the more rigidly enforced segregation of the United States. The memoir frames these experiences through the lens of Garland Anderson's career as a playwright and lecturer incorporating discussion of his public reception and professional life. The title intentionally provocative contrasts with the narrative's emphasis on mutual respect spiritual alignment and partnership while also reflecting contemporary public hostility toward interracial unions. 8 preliminary leaves 282 pages with frontispiece and additional portrait plates. Publisher's cloth binding. Octavo format. Cloth heavily mottled and rubbed with fading and soiling to both boards; spine sunned with fraying; text block generally clean and sound; overall good condition.

This historic rally was captured by the camera. It shows from left to right CHEN Boda and ZHOU En-lai before several microphones as they delivered the keynote speeches to the millions "of HONG WEI BING. . The rally was led by CHEN Boda and LIN Biao who both gave the keynote speeches. . JIANG Qing and other radicals mounted the area where MAO Tsetung ZHOU En-lai CHEN Boda LIN Biao and other CCP leaders were viewing the spectacle and put "Red Guard" arm bands bizhang on many of these leaders. . This photograph shows ZHOU En-lai with his red arm band in place. We have other posters & photographs showing MAO and his red arm band as well please inquire at our website. . 8-18 MASS RALLY: . The "8-18 Rally" as it was known was The first of eight receptions Chairman Mao & other leaders of the CCP gave to "Red Guards" in Tiananmen Square in the fall of 1966. It was this rally that signified the beginning of the "Red Guards" involvement in implementing the aims of the Cultural Revolution. .

Zhou served under Mao Zedong and was instrumental in consolidating the control of the Communist Party's rise to power forming foreign policy and developing the Chinese economy. Advocating peaceful coexistence with the West after the stalemated Korean War he participated in the 1954 Geneva Conference and helped orchestrate Richard Nixon's 1972 visit to China. He helped devise policies regarding the bitter disputes with the U.S. Taiwan the Soviet Union after 1960 India and Vietnam. Zhou is best known as the long-time top aide to Mao Zedong specializing in foreign policy. . Zhou En-lai & the "Red Guards": Although Zhou En-lai announced the formal beginning of the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution on 1 May 1966 at a massive rally to celebrate International Workers Day in Tian'anmen it was not until 16 May that the Politburo established the Cultural Revolution Group comprising Jiang Qing and other radicals. Although there is a general belief that the Palace Museum escaped the depredations of the Cultural Revolution thanks to protection extended by Premier Zhou Enlai this is not entirely true. . CHEN BODA: 1904-1989: He was a member of the Chinese Communist Party CCP a secretary to Chairman Mao and a prominent member of the leadership during the Cultural Revolution chairing the Cultural Revolution Group. . During the Cultural Revolution from 1966 until 1969 Chen Boda played an important role in the Cultural Revolution. In May 1966 he was placed at the head of the newly formed Cultural Revolution Group a body appointed by Mao established to oversee and direct the course of the Cultural Revolution. In time this group would rise to become the most important political body in China surpassing even the Politburo Standing Committee in importance. Chen Boda was also placed as head of the Communist government's propaganda machine. Chen also became a member of the Standing Committee of the Politburo. . As the Cultural Revolution Group began to appear too radical for the liking of Mao & the leadership in Peking its influence began to wane and it was formally dissolved at the CCP's Ninth Congress in the Spring of 1969. . This marked the end of Chen Boda's involvement in the Cultural Revolution. As the leadership became more moderate in its outlook and the initial aims of the Cultural Revolution were sidelined Chen's radicalism caused concern and he was condemned as a 'revisionist secret agent' by the CCP's Tenth Congress in 1973. SEE: CULTURAL REVOLUTION OF 1966-1967-8 The Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution commonly known as the Cultural Revolution was a social-political movement that took place in the People's Republic of China from 1966.
