This 1596 edition of the saint’s biography is better then the one of 1594 because revised by the author and complete. St Francis Xavier (1506-52), a companion of Ignatius of Loyola and co-founder od the Jesuit order, was a leader of the first Jesuit missions to India, southeast Asia and Japan. Orazio Torsellino was an italian Jesuit; he achieved great popularity with this work, which had numerous editions and translations, and with his first and principal early printed collection of Xavier’s letter, including many from Japan, available at the end of the 16th century. This first edition remained standard for many years and also for 17th cent. editions. This is the first collection of writings by St. Francisco Xavier. In 1540, he set off as a missionary to Asia. From there in the midst of ten years of incessant labor, 1542 - 1554, he produced 137 letters and instructions. The translator and editor of this volume, Orazio Torsellini in this place presented 52 letters. This collection of Xavier letters is very important in the story of China and Japan.

Measuring China's longest river First editions of these invaluable technical publications which record a wealth of data from gauging stations across hundreds of charts and diagrams. The Yangtse River Commission was formed by presidential order in December 1922 and the American engineer George Gottlieb Stroebe 1877-1965 served as the first head of its survey department. After several years of operation the commission switched its focus to the middle section of the river stretching from Hankou to Yichang. In 1925 it installed new gauges and discharge measurement stations while also collecting data with equipment maintained by the customs service. Until 1926 inclusive reports were released in the name of the commission's technical committee before responsibility transferred to the Ministry of Communications.

rif. 3210181Cup saucer and side plate; white china has strikingly clean straight lines and is rimmed in dark green with a green handle to the cup each piece carries the motif designed by Sylvia Pankhurst of the 'angel of freedom' blowing her trumpet and flying the banner of 'Freedom in the background are the initials 'WSPU' set against dark prison bars surrounded by the thistle shamrock and rose and dangling chains; the cup has one minor hairline crack otherwise all pieces are in fine condition. Rare survival of an original Suffragette cup saucer and side plate complete with the 'Angel of Freedom' designed by Sylvia Pankhurst. Initially for use in the refreshment room of the Prince's Skating Rink Exhibition and then sold in aid of funds. The Women's Exhibition of 1909 all but forgotten today was a tipping point in women's struggle for equal rights. The event was open to both sexes and cleverly calculated to show men that suffragettes were not the dangerous 'shrieking sisterhood' they were painted but were in fact the wives mothers and sisters they knew women safely interested in the same female pursuits they always had been women dedicated to creating beautiful things not destroying them. 'The winged angel logo was repeated on almost all promotional material. It was especially striking on the elegant white tea service specially commissioned from a pottery in Staffordshire used in the traditional tea and refreshment room during the exhibition and for sale after the event. Commemorative china was a relatively new idea and this early understanding of branding as a way of advertising was a key element of the exhibition's success making the WSPU one of the first campaign groups to understand the significance of logos' http://annesebba.com/journalism/the-womens-exhibition-of-1909/
1900rif. 176895Shanghai: Brewer & Co. c. 1900. From the Chefoo Bluff to Lamtong Head Sole edition untraced institutionally the copy of Vice-Admiral Seymour's chief of staff in Tianjin during the Boxer Uprising. This photographic guide is designed for "the navigator of this changeable and frequently foggy locality" preface. We have traced only one other copy which appeared in commerce in 2017. Navigators in the late Qing period could rely on only a small network of lighthouses and fixed navigational aids when sailing the Chinese coast. "In thick weather even a person familiar with the coast is at a loss to identify a well-known Islands with its summit" preface. The thirty views include the Chefoo Bluff in the Pechili Gulf the waters near the Hieshans Light House Zhejiang and Hong Kong's Lamtong Head. A concerted period of lighthouse-building in the 1910s and 1920s obviated the need for further publications of this kind. Provenance: though unmarked as such this copy was owned by Captain Edward Henry Bayly C.B. 1849-1904 Commander of the International Forces at Tianjin in June 1900. Bayly had a lifelong career in the Royal Navy. He was promoted to the rank of lieutenant in September 1873 commander in June 1887 and captain in January 1894 having served overseas in numerous ships. Bayly captained HMS Pelorus during the fleet review for Queen Victoria's diamond jubilee in 1897 and in 1899 became captain of the armoured cruiser HMS Aurora on the China station. During the Boxer Uprising he replaced the wounded John Jellicoe as chief of staff to Seymour was mentioned by Seymour in dispatches and remained at Tianjin until the withdrawal of naval forces. He retired at his own request in February 1904. Landscape octavo. With 30 mounted collotypes within red frames. Original red cloth front cover lettered in gilt white coated endpapers leaves hinged with white linen as issued. A little shaken binding sunned and stained contents well preserved a little toning at fore edges: a very good copy. hardcover

In 2006 it claimed a per-issue circulation of 70000 and distribution "throughout China and 150 countries and regions worldwide." Founded in March 1958 as the weekly Peking Review it was an important tool for the Chinese government to communicate to the rest of world. The first issue included an editor's note explaining that the magazine was meant to "provide timely accurate first-hand information on economic political and cultural developments in China and her relations with the rest of the world." The U.S. Postal Service initially restricted distribution of the magazine but the U.S. Supreme Court overturned this policy in Lamont v. Postmaster General. In October 2020 the United States Department of State designated Beijing Review as a "foreign mission" of China. An important time period covering the entire Cultural Revolution through the death of Chairman Mao the policies of Deng Xiaoping and the establishment of modern China.

From being a revolutionary magazine presenting the ideas and aspirations of a young and relatively weak Socialist state struggling along the road to the construction of Communism it was now displaying its open statement of aims of an outright capitalist and imperialist state – with global ambitions. From the very beginning the new Socialist state had to face many obstacles. There was opposition from within and without the country from within and without the Party. Those who might have played an important role in the past in the fight for liberation were not necessarily the ones who were needed to build a radically new society. All revolutions bring with it old baggage from the past but some leaders found it more difficult than others to throw it away and start fresh. 《北京周报》创刊于1958年3月1，最åˆè‹±æ–‡å为"Peking Review"，在ä¸å›½å…¨é¢æ”¹ç”¨æ±‰è¯æ‹¼éŸ³ä½œä¸ºè¯‘åæ ‡å‡†åŽæ”¹ä¸ºçŽ°å。æ‚志主è¦æŠ¥é“ä¸å›½çš„政治ç»æµŽçŽ°çŠ¶ï¼Œä»‹ç»ä¸å›½æ”¿åºœå¯¹å†…对外的é‡å¤§æ–¹é’ˆæ”¿ç–ç‰2。《北京周报》也曾出版过法文ã€è¥¿ç牙文ã€æ—¥æ–‡åŠå¾·æ–‡ç‰ˆå®žä½“刊，ä¸è¿‡é™¤è‹±æ–‡ç‰ˆä»ä¿ç•™å®žä½“刊外，其他è¯è¨€ç‰ˆæœ¬å‡å·²äºŽ2000年12月åœåˆŠï¼Œä»…ä¿ç•™ç½‘络版。 Published by Guozi Shudian for the Foreign Language Press, paperback
