1921Lot of 3 works on the subject. The first item is octavo, Pp. 24. Original printed wrappers, faded, bit soiled, vertical fold mark, small old ticket at top corner, small rubbed patch at back. In good condition, very good and clean interior. ~ First edition. Interesting and very rare document relating to the Jewish "Planters Association of Palestine". The first part, approved by the High Commissioner Herbert Samuel, is the Memorandum of Association. Its articles specify the objects for which the company is established as "the purchase of any lands, forests (.) and other immovable property in Palestine, Transjordania, Syria, and the Peninsula of Sinai, for the purpose of constructing, maintaining, and managing any roads, ways, railways, bridges, viaducts, harbours, telegraphs, electrical works, factories, etc. In doing so, the company will take over all the assets and liabilities of 'The Ottoman Company for Commerce and Agriculture and Industries Limited' incorporated under Turkish Law the 26th April, 1910". On the curious case of "Agendath (sic.) Netaim", which the half-Jewish Leopold Bloom spends a whole day considering, one should read with pleasure in James Joyce's "Ulysses". [TO THIS IS ADDED:] "Statuts de la Societé Ottomane de Commerce, d'Agriculture et d'Industrie." Constantinople, Ferd. Walla, 1910. 12mo. Pp. 12. Plain wrappers. In fine condition. [AND:] "Prospekt. Ottomanische anonyme Gesellschaft für Agricultur, Handel und Industrie. Genehmigt mit Kaiserlicher Irade vom 26 April/9 Mai 1910. Jaffa, [Agudath Netaim],1911." 12mo. Pp. 8. Self-wrappers. Original document with manuscript entries specifying names of the Committee members and its Auditors, financial situation, scope and scale of the plantation (Oranges 235 dunam; Olives 385 dunam, etc.). Extremely rare set of documents relating to one of the earliest Zionist enterprises.

1826Six reports printed/published over the years 1826-7. The third report focuses on the Foundling Hospital of Dublin, with examinations of relevant staff, recorded verbatim, along with similar interviews with 19 girls and 12 boys from the hospital, and various supplementary documents. The fourth focuses, similar, on the Belfast Academical Institution; the fifth is a brief report on the Diocesan Schools; the sixth deals in-depth (i.e. with transcripts, etc.) with the Hibernian Society for the Care of Soldiers Children and two connected institutions; the seventh the Royal Cork Institution. The ninth is a retrospective discussing difficulties connected with the reports and contains, additionally, supplementary Scripture lessons and Christian texts. The six reports have Ministry of Education stickers on their individual covers and ink stamps on their title pages; they are bound in one oversized green hardcover with gilt title and call no. on spine. Sunned at one edge, a little bumped/shelfworn, but still very good condition; interior pages a little warped, possibly from storage in a damp environment; some light foxing at beginning and end of the various reports.
