BERLIN ONTARIO: Issued in Commemorationof Celebration of Cityhood Juily 17th 1912. "Issued by Authority of the City

1912réf. 5021065Berlin Ontario: German Printing and Publishing Co 1912. First Edition. Hardcover. Fair. 1st printing. Oblong green gilt-stamped 4to cloth. Unpaginated but well over 200pps. Illustrated with b/w photos portraits and several ads with color toning or outlining. "Special Articles & Illustrative features by Maxwell Publicity Service." "Made in Berlin." Berlin Ontario changed its name in 1961 to Kitchener according to several sources because of rising anti-German sentiment. Originally in 1833 the name was chosen after the capitol of Prussia. Decorative endpapers. Both hinges are "broken" meaning the paper is cracked at the inside hinges and the webbing there is floppy. I have decided not to attempt a cheap repair on this volume & would recommend the buyer take it to a professional in the bookbinding trade. It is too valuable a book to fix it incorrectly. The cloth is moderately soiled & has some moderate wear at the extremities.The quality of the paper the images and advertising and the details of historical and biographical text is really quite extraordinary. There is no age/musty odor which is usually typical of these sorts of books with glossy page stock. The city fathers & businessmen literally titled "Who's Who" are well represented. The ads are splendid. There is a map of "Rural and Long Distance Lines of the Bell Telephone Company in the Waterloo District." The lithographed photos are excellent; they are sharp & properly exposed. Includes group portraits for example of "29th Regimental Band of Berlin "Grey's Horse Troop" There is a splendid 24" x 9" folding Dominion Day "Berlin Ontario" birds eye photograph highlighting in the caption that Berlin is the "furniture centre of Canada." This is really a quality book that needs some careful hinge repair. Although in a number of Canadian libraries this book hardly ever shows up on the resale market. Because of the hinges I have graded this copy "fair." c. German Printing and Publishing Co hardcover

LE FORT SAINTE-MARIE RESIDENCE des Missionaires et des Martyrs Jesuites AU CANADA 1639-1649

1926réf. 5004076Fort Sainte-Marie Ontario: Sanctuaire des Bienheureus Martyrs Canadiens 1926. First Edition. Soft cover. Very Good. No other printings listed. 12mo printed stapled wraps. 59 numbered pages. Illustrated with photos drawings maps & document facsimile. Former owner's signature in ink top of front cover. Partial description from Parks Canada: "Description of Historic Place. Fort Sainte Marie II National Historic Site of Canada is located within the Beausoleil First Nation land reserve along the southern shore of Christian Island on Georgian Bay in Ontario. The site consists of a clearing bordered by trees some modern homes and the shoreline of Georgian Bay. Low-lying cobble walls probably created by 20th century rock piling delineate the footprint of the square fort as well as its corner bastions. Also included on the site is a large unused Huron burial pit. Over time natural factors have slightly altered the original setting such as the effects of shoreline erosion. The designation refers to the footprint of the fort. Heritage Value Fort Sainte Marie II was designated as a national historic site of Canada because: established in 1649 it was the last Jesuit mission for the Huron-Wendat in this area; it was abandoned by the missionaries in 1650 when they fled to Quebec with some Huron-Wendat supporters; the remaining Huron-Wendat made their last stand against the Iroquois from this fort in 1651 before fleeing to Quebec. Fort Sainte Marie II was constructed in 1649 following the destruction of the former Jesuit mission of Sainte-Marie Among the Hurons Mission National Historic Sites of Canada on the Wye River. The new fort was settled from June 1649 to June 1650 by Jesuit Missionaries French soldiers and Huron-Wendat who had fled from the Wye River mission station after confrontations with Five Nations bands and the Dutch who together sought to break the Huron-Wendat control of northern fur resources." Found in several prominent libraries primarily in Canada but very scarce on the open market. Just a little toning of the covers. Near fine. Sanctuaire des Bienheureus Martyrs Canadiens unknown

This booklet is an unabashed celebration of how the colonies of the British Empire came to the support of Great Britain during the 2nd Boer War and indeed while the conflict was still taking place. "When Paul Kruger with his burghers came down from Pretoria . threatening and intending to drive the British into the sea . the spirit of the Lion . broke out strong." The booklet briefly describes the Canadian parliamentary action prints a short numerical list ofl "Military Resources of the Colonies" and promotes the McArthur company in a page titled "Commerce Follows the Flag." There are no records evident in my extensive research that this item has previously come up for auction or booksellers' sale. Original copies reside in six institutions five of them in Canada. The green paper covers are faded at the edges have a bit of light spotting and have a few short edge tears. but no chips. The Canadian shield in silver on the front cover is strong along with the title. The silver imprint of the publisher on the cover is not quite as strong. Certainly a good or better copy. Unabashedly Rare. Colin McArthur & Co unknown
