First edition of this scarce mining sales promotion from the Woods Investment Company which sponsored a booth in the Mining Building at the Pan-American Exposition in Buffalo NY in order to raise funds and expand the Woods mining and business empire. At the time the Woods operated the Gold Coin Mine employing 300 men with an annual payroll of $ 350000 as well as the Consolidated Doctor-Jack Pot New Zealand Mabel M. Damon Morning Glory and others. The Woods founded Victor CO and while digging the foundations for their elaborate Victor Hotel they discovered in 1894 a twenty-inch-wide vein of gold ore and began the development of the famed Gold Coin Mine. After rebuilding following the 1899 Victor CO fire the company continued to expand and rebuilt most of the burned-out business district in fire-resistant brick and stone. This work includes photo illustrations of Victor CO Cameron CO the Robinson-Victor Mine the Economic Gold Extraction Co. the Pike’s Peak power station and the Cripple Creek Short Line. The Woods were progressive mine owners who invested back into their community including the Gold Coin Club for Woods miners and workers which included a ballroom gymnasium baths bowling lanes tennis courts billiards room library and dining rooms. Unfortunately the Pan-American Exposition is best remembered as the site of the assassination of President McKinley shot by the anarchist Leon Czolgosz at the Temple of Music Sept. 6 1901.

réf. 000354Hardback. Good. The Dublin Review not to be confused with the modern literary journal was the leading Catholic periodical of its time having begun in 1836 as a quarterly continuing until its demise in 1969. It was founded by the barrister and journalist Michael Joseph Quin who brought in Daniel O'Connell and Cardinal Wiseman to the project. The aim was "to provide a record of current thought for educated Catholics and . to be an exponent of Catholic views to non-Catholic inquirers" and to this end it recruited eminent and well-regarded writers on religious historical and literary topics and with much focus on science. Despite its name the Review was printed and published in London. Issue four April 1837 344pp plus opening Contents leaf; bound in blue-green cloth spine titled gilt no specific title page as the original wrappers are not bound in; slightly rubbed at the extremities and with a very few stamps of the Franciscan Convent Library Wexford scattered around but overall in tight clean and good condition.

1819réf. 52991N.p. but near present-day Prampram Ghana. ca. 1819–1836. The British on the Gold Coast of Africa: Three Drawings An attractive set of skillfully executed original pencil sketches featuring British colonial structures in Prampram Gold Coast present-day Ghana likely between 1819 and 1836. The sketches are titled in pencil as follows: "Commandant's Residence Pam Pram Gold Coast" "Lower Town Pam Pram from the Upper Town" and "Abandoned Fort at Appolonia from the Beach." The Union Jack flies proudly in the foreground of the sketch of the Commandant's residence. Officially Great Britain colonized the Gold Coast region from 1867 until the independence of Ghana in 1957 though the British had maintained and controlled forts along the West African coastline since long before 1867. Fort Appolonia in the extreme southwestern corner of the country had been a British trading and military outpost from 1691 until 1819 and then again from 1836 onwards when it changed hands from the British to the Dutch then back to the British again. As such if the artist here labeled Fort Appolonia as "Abandoned" he or she most likely sketched the fort during the period it was shuttered between 1819 and 1836. A fascinating trio of original sketches offering unique views from a rarely visualized period in British colonial affairs in West Africa. Central vertical crease to each drawing the first two titled in a contemporary hand in pencil to verso the third similarly titled below the image. Very good. unknown
