1956Very Good English Paperback. Roy. 8vo. (24 x 17 cm). In English. [2], 21 p. First and only edition of this extremely rare pamphlet documenting the first constitutional and judicial movements in the Islamization of Sudan started in the 1950s Sudanese society and government. "The judicial system of Sudan survived the transfer of power to the independent state with few changes. Independence did, however, bring to the fore conflicts which had been kept under the carpet during the Condominium. The nature of the constitution became one of the most contested issues. The Transition Constitution, adopted 1st January 1956 (Independence Day), formalized a Westminster style of government, but it was never meant to be more than temporary. The debate on the new permanent constitution took many forms. In a long memorandum, Sheikh Hasan Muddathir, the Grand qadi of Sudan (i.e. the head of the sharia division of the judiciary) presented the Islamist position".

1830Best.-Nr. 99804Boston MA: Printed by Dutton and Wentworth 1830. 1830. Very good. - Octavo 8-1/2 inches high by 5-1/4 inches wide. Softcover bound in printed self-wrappers. Once bound in with other similar pamphlets these three related items are unbound and removed with stab marks along the left edges. The pagination is a follows: pages 1-11 1 & 13-21 1-8; and 1-12. There is some scattered foxing throughout all three items. The cover page of the Senate No. 10 report dated December 15 1829 is darkened & stained with minor chipping to the bottom corners of that page and of the last page. Very good. First edition Massachusetts Senate No. 21. The report is signed on page 11 by John W. Lincoln Chairman. The report is followed by the text of a bill entitled "An act to establish the Boston and Lowell Rail Road Corporation." The Boston and Lowell Railroad was the first major railroad in the state of Massachusetts. The Boston and Lowell Railroad was preceded by the Middlesex Canal. Converting the canal to a railroad would eliminate the issue of transportation being unavailable during the winter when the canal froze. Patrick Tracy Jackson led the task of convincing the state legislature to fund the project. This proved difficult as the investors of the Middlesex Canal were against building a new form of transportation designed to replace their canal. The report at hand details the protest of the directors of the Middlesex Canal against granting the petition of John F. Loring and others to construct a railroad in its place. Loring and the other investors received their charter on June 5 1830 and the railroad began operations on June 24 1835. The pamphlet is accompanied by an earlier February 12 1830 pamphlet titled:"To the Honorable the Senate and House of Representatives in General Court assembled. : The president directors and company of the Middlesex Canal having seen the publication of the petition of John F. Loring and others for a rail road from Boston to Lowell and the order of notice thereon beg leave to present the following remonstrance to granting the prayer thereof." 12 pages. Signed page 12: Wm. Sullivan Josh. Coolidge Geo. Hallet committee of directors of Middlesex Canal to this purpose duly authorized. House No. 40 printed by Dutton and Wentworth 1830. In addition an earlier pamphlet from 1829 is included: "Boston December 15 1829. To His Excellency Levi Lincoln Governor of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts : Sir On the behalf of the Commissioners of Internal Improvements I have the honor to transmit herewith a report of a survey made in conformity to a resolve of the legislature passed on the 12th day of June 1829 directing the Board to survey a route for a rail road from the town of Taunton to some point in the route previously surveyed between Boston and Providence : with great consideration and respect I am your humble and most obe't. serv't.
