1833ref. 309066Paris: Dondey-Dupré père et fils 1833. ii 30 pp. 1 vols. 8vo. Disbound. Presentation inscription at head of title "a - - de la part de son ami l'auteur. ii 30 pp. 1 vols. 8vo. Early response to the French conquest of Algeria in 1830 and subsequent plans for its annexation to France. While the initial hopes of "men of various parties in England" had been that the 1830 expedition would see a favorable outcome from the French administration of the conquered "these writers were wrong and it will thus be permissable to an Englishman who shared those hopes to express in 1833 an equally frank opinion against the policies that today weigh upon Alger." Saxe Bannister 1790-1877 retired army captain and lawyer served as attorney-general of New South Wales 1823-25 but resigned after constant disputes over pay and returned to England. "Bannister had a keen interest in philanthropic causes and was concerned with the welfare of children convicts and especially Aborigines. He was instrumental in the establishment of the first infants' school in Sydney and published numerous pamphlets dealing with the subjects of transportation and government policy towards indigenous people . a lucid and engaging writer whose works reveal an agile and learned mind" ODNB. Ferguson notes two titles by Bannister published in 1830 An Appeal by a Colonial Law Officer of the Crown 1322 and Humane Policy; or Justice to the Aborigines of New Settlements essential to a due Expenditure of British Money and to the best interest of the Settlers 1323 and lists works on the Indians of North America and policies in South Africa. "France cannot press this conquest further without committing yet more crimes and greater crimes nor without danger to itself." Pages 19-30 are press extracts cited in Bannister's arguments. Bannister decries policies that enrich France at the expense of Alger and "recalls the project of extermination proposed against the millions of persons to whom the country belongs as lawfully as Paris belongs to the French." The press reports cited speak of the need "to clear the ground" "balayer le sol" to favor European colonization. The conscientious advocacy for the indigenous is consistent with Bannister's ealrier writings. Presentation copy. No holdings reported in North America.

1890ref. 237291890. French Algeria real photo postcard archive documenting Bastille Day celebrations in Blida during the late nineteenth or early twentieth century recording the ceremonial display through which the French colonial state projected military authority in Algeria.

1950ref. 233911950. French military photo album tracing the movement of French servicemen from infantry instruction at Saint-Maixent-l'École into North African field service during the Algerian War era with sustained documentation of rallye exercises convoy organization patrol work barracks labor communications equipment and winter combat preparation. The album's training sequences include helmeted soldiers assembled beneath a road sign reading "ST MAIXENT" and "N 138" men gathered around field maps spread across drums and teams identified by painted helmet markings including "A5" corresponding to the postwar role of Saint-Maixent's École d'application de l'infanterie as a training center for officer candidates reserve officers and noncommissioned officers. Later leaves shift into French North Africa through photographs taken at Camp Maréchal Lyautey and surrounding mountainous terrain where armed patrols move across ridgelines machine-gun crews occupy snow-covered overlooks radio operators carry field communication equipment with extended antennas and transport convoys navigate exposed roads and desert valleys. Rather than concentrating on formal portraiture the album follows the routine structure of French army service during the final decade of French colonial rule in Algeria through field movement instruction logistics temporary encampments and small-unit operations. Photo album containing 91 silver gelatin photographs most approximately 4 x 3 inches mounted on black binder leaves with removable plastic photo corners circa 1950s. Locations include Saint-Maixent-l'École Camp Maréchal Lyautey at Aïn Harrouda near Casablanca and additional unidentified sites in French North Africa. Numerous photographs retain handwritten French captions on the versos. A training image captioned "Avant le départ du Rallye l'équipe A5" identifies a rallye exercise team assembled before departure while other photographs record helmeted infantry carrying rifles along dirt roads soldiers seated inside troop transport vehicles men shoveling earth beside barracks structures and servicemen gathered in mess or recreation spaces beside French-plated automobiles and jeeps. Winter field scenes show armed patrols advancing across snow-covered terrain two soldiers resting in sleeping bags against a stone wall machine-gun positions overlooking valleys and a solitary radio operator standing in open snow with transmission equipment mounted on his back. Additional landscape photographs document roads encampments ridgelines and arid mountain terrain associated with French military movement through North Africa during the conflict. The Algerian War emerged from coordinated FLN attacks launched on November 1 1954 and developed into a prolonged colonial conflict that destabilized the French Fourth Republic expanded compulsory military service and ended with the Évian Accords and Algerian independence in 1962. French military training schools such as Saint-Maixent prepared officers and NCOs for a war increasingly defined by patrol operations convoy security communications networks and counterinsurgency deployment across difficult rural terrain. The album preserves that structure at soldier level through sequences focused on preparation movement field coordination and environmental conditions rather than ceremonial imagery. Black binder leaves show moderate handling wear; photographs remain sharp and well-preserved with occasional light silvering and minor corner wear from mounting. The removable mounts preserve access to the captioned versos and maintain the documentary character of the archive as a continuous record of French military service during the final decade of colonial rule in North Africa. unknown books
