1920ref. 362949Tokyo: Gaimusho tsushokyoku daisanka 1920. First Edition. A bilingual pamphlet detailing the origins of and the official Japanese response to the 1913 Alien Land Law passed in California. The law prohibited foreigners who were not eligible to obtain citizenship from purchasing land or entering into leases longer than three years. It applied almost entirely to Asian immigrants who were barred from becoming naturalized American citizens. This book opens with a brief introduction and the text of the California law followed by the texts of the official protests made by the Japanese government to officials in Washington DC along with the American diplomatic responses. The Japanese protests are refreshingly narrative and detailed rather than legalistic in style. Among the American respondents is William Jennings Bryan acting in his official capacity as Secretary of State in the Woodrow Wilson administration. 18 2 58 1 English 79 Japanese pages.

1801ref. 56123Great Britain. ca. 1801-1807. British Essay on the Importance of American Trade During the Napoleonic Wars An interesting but unattributed and apparently unpublished manuscript essay with a caption title reading: "Loose Memo. Respectg. American Commerce." The gist of the memo is set forth in the first sentence: "The Americans are at all times the best customers of G.B. - in peace they take 1/3 of her manufactured exports - in War much more." In addition to the eager American market for British goods the author notes that British goods are often trans-shipped via America to other markets where Great Britain would not normally have access thanks to America's neutral status: ".you have only to change the name of the manufacturer & the wants of the Colonists will shut their eyes on the origin of the fabric. I have known Liverpool ware ornamented with the Portrait of Geo. III passed as German manufactures." The author notes that while the understandable economic downturn during the Revolution and for several years after the "peace of '83" resulted in some problematic credit relations between the U.S. and the British market much has changed. "The industry & the enterprise of our countrymen aided no doubt by the enjoyment of a neutral position has enabled them to throw off their dependence on the British merchant or manufacturer. They now have a sufficient capital of their own and a very important proportion of their imports are now paid for in ready money or in bills at short sight." The author explains that American merchants are able to export their surpluses of their own production and surplus British goods to the Continental market and transfer that money directly to creditors in Great Britain with an added perk: "The result of this species of trade must be ruinous to France. She is drained of her wealth to enrich & invigorate her enemy." Finally the author provides a specific example of this favored trading relationship with regard cotton. At this time the author estimates that Great Britain imports three-fifths of all cotton from the United States - some 150000 bags of cotton annually weighing 250lbs. each. The U.S. buys back nearly one-third of all cotton goods manufactured in Great Britain yielding a net profit of over £2.5 million to Great Britain. The author adds that this ratio holds for almost all raw materials produced in the United States. This essay was almost certainly written during the earlier part of the Napoleonic Wars; the author cites an 1801 speech by Lord Grenville which helps narrow the date range and it seems unlikely the Embargo Act of 1807 had been passed yet. Regardless the essay promotes Anglo-American trade and cooperation at least insofar as it enriches Britain and cripples France at a time when other forces were driving the two countries toward war.

ref. 65413. The flag on Allin's shop appears to be a variant of the Union Jack and assuming that is correct it would imply that the date for the print is 'not before' 1801 when the Union Jack was designed following the Act of Union 1801 which united the Kingdom of Great Britain and the Kingdom of Ireland previously in personal union to create the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. The architecture and the design of the clothes of a couple of figures shown would indicate a time frame of the first couple of decades of the 19th century. The slogan 'LADIES NEW INVENTED STAYS' provides another clue as 'Stays' was the term used for the fully boned laced bodices worn under clothes from the late 16th or early 17th century until the end of the 18th century. A related view dated 1822 may be seen on BIRMINGHAM HISTORICAL FORUM. The copyright imprint is not recorded in the BRITISH BOOK TRADE INDEX. hardcover

1939223, 16 (ads) pp. Index. "The problem of the Jews in Britain, and the power they wield in public affairs, is a matter of the most absorbing interest in these days when propaganda has clouded the issue and made it almost impossible for the ordinary man to see the subject in its true perspective. This book is a critical but strictly impartial analysis written by a well-known Fleet Street journalist who has studied the whole problem for a number of years in the light of events since the Great War." - from dust jacket.

1937ref. 2527Nashville TN: The Chamber of Commerce Nashville TN 1937. First Edition First Printing. Original wraps. Good . 9 X 11 1/4 Inches. 62 PP Folding Map. Original February 5 1937 Portfolio created by the Nashville Chamber of Commerce. A fairly incredible "time-capsule" glance and 20th Century Nashville in the making. This unique book was created specifically for the purpose of garnering the business of the Norvell & Wallace Lumber factory. We assume that other similar copies were created on an individual basis when the city saw fit to "scout" major companies for the area. We have located "0" copies on OCLC and "0" auction records. The summary states "The principal advantages Nashville offers to industry and other lines of business is summarized from this survey." The index includes: agricultural resources altitude area assessed valuation building and construction city government civic and social data building permits churches civic-fraternal and welfare organizations education golf courses hospitals and medical facilities hotels newspapers office buildings parks and playgrounds Parthenon postal receipts public buildings radio stations streets theatres Tennessee State Fair climate financial instituions living conditions location manufacturing attitude toward new industries industrial development in Nashville Labor costs Labor relations Labor Laws and Regulations Labor Supply Workmen's Compensation Law markets mineral resources population public utilities state and local taxes transportation facilities airlines express freight local passenger service interurban service motor truck railroads river transportation vital statistics wholesale and retail establishments. A few of the stats that immediately jumped out at me - 1 The report predates any television station in Nashville 2 When polling races in the city the report denotes 111025 white citizens 42836 negro citizens and 5 of "other" races 3 only two airlines American and Eastern service the city and the municipal airport was dedicated only a few months before this report. 21 tables and graphs including rail distance and hours by train to other US cities flying hours from Nashville power rates gainful workers condition of the banks of Nashville and more. The folding map mounted at rear measures roughly 25 X 30 inches. Origianl stab binding intact. Pages and text clean. Covers are separated from the text. The map does exhibit a few closed tears and a bit of wear at folds. The Chamber of Commerce (Nashville, TN) unknown
