1885réf. 25162Riverhead New York 1885. Hardcover. Very good condition. The original manuscript title to a very large tract of land near Brookhaven Long Island acquired by John A. Bowman from the individual proprietors and conveyed here by Bowman in its entirety to the Long Island Improvement Company Ltd. The Long Island Improvement Company was formed by Austin Corbin then president of the L. I. Rail Road and others in 1881. Corbin sought the land in order to develop expensive summer residences on Long Island; Bowman was acting as Corbin's agent in the acquisition of this valuable property. Austin Corbin 1827 – 1896 was an American railroad executive plantation owner resort operator banker and robber baron. In Iowa as a bank president he engaged in mortgage scams. Later through theft and corruption he consolidated the individual rail lines into the profitable Long Island Rail Road. He was widely despised in his day: Puck Sept 1882 printed a caricature in which Corbin appears at a Louis XIV styled party where he carouses with Jay Gould and other robber barons. The Abstract a bound sml. folio volume records that Bowman paid $5 per acre for most of the parcels in 1882 then conveyed January of 1883 the incalculably valuable entire tract to the LI Improvement Co for $1. The Abstract volume concludes with the Suffolk County embossed seal and is signed by the Clerk at Riverhead 1st June 1885. It includes the ownership history of each parcel as well as a history of the town of Brookhaven from its founding. The Abstract volume is accompanied by the original hand colored manuscript map on architectural vellum of the entire tract with silk ribbon binding showing the 25 property owner names and parcel sizes. Surveys were conducted by Justus Roe. The map is titled "Map of Property of the Long Island Improvement Company Limited at Medford LI". The scale is 300 feet to the inch. The northern boundary of the tract shows the Brewster Terry Property and Horse Block Road; the western edge defined by Tunnel and Progues Road and the Austin Roe and Daniel Gerard property; the southern boundary with Georgianna Rider property and Canaan and Medford Roads; the eastern boundary with the Robinson property and Lime Road. The Long Island RR can be seen running from east to west at approximately one third of the way through the tract at the north side. The map signed in ink at the lower right corner E. H. H. Forder.

1932réf. 12800Washington DC: Claude T. Clements Press 1932. 14362pp. Profusely illustrated. Publisher's tan cloth with titles stamped in brown on spine and front board. In original unclipped pictorial dust jacket. Minor edge wear light insect damage to boards. Dust jacket either trimmed a bit short or originally produced a half-inch shorter than boards. Minor dust-soiling to jacket with minor insect damage to rear flap. Internally clean. Overall very good. The rare autobiographical travel narrative by one of the most important Filipino-American political leaders in history especially notable for retaining the original pictorial dust jacket. Hilario Camino Moncado established the Filipino Federation of America in 1925 in Los Angeles California. It was also known at various times as the Filipino World Federation and the Filipino Crusaders World Army. As one of the fraternal organizations appealing to the small but growing Filipino immigrant community the FFA distinguished itself from competitors by accentuating "clean living" and rules of moral conduct. Moncado earned a law degree and also edited and published Filipino Nation. Through his work Moncado sought to portray the immigrant community as responsible and healthy in contrast to the then-prevalent depictions of them as uneducated gamblers. Much less publicly the FFA developed a set of religious teachings that held Moncado to be the reincarnation of Jesus Christ by way of José Rizal the Filipino patriot executed in the waning days of Spanish rule. Moncado's birthday was changed to make him appear to have been born after Rizal's death so that his identity as Rizal's reincarnation would be more plausible. In the present travel memoir Moncado focuses on political and social issues encountered on a trip around the world conveying an impression of worldliness which burnished his reputation within the Filipino-American community. He visits England Holland Germany France Italy Egypt India China Japan and "Home Sweet Home Philippines." A sampling of chapters focus on London his visit to Oxford University the refusal of Germany to pay reparations from the First World War mentioning the German people's and particularly Hitler's stance against paying them any further his visit to the League of Nations "Mussolini - Benevolent Despot or Tyrant" Gandhi and "India's Revolution" China "The Awakening Giant" "Americanized Japan" and the betrayal of the Filipino independence movement by the American Congress.

First page headed: 'The Edgware Road Fire The proprietor of "The Daily Telegraph" have as hitherto on similar occasions opened a Subscription list for the Sufferers and it is estimated that £3000 will be required to meeet the urgent claims for relief which are already too well known I shall be glad to receive any donations you may be pleased to give on their behalf JNER.'. Arranged in eight columns two to a page with running totals and a grand total of £16 1s 0d. The first donation is for 10s 6d from 'Mr. Kynock' and the last for 1s from Mr Catliffe'. Accompanying the list are two newspaper cuttings laid down on one side of a piece of 12mo paper with manuscript heading The Edgware Rd. Fire Fund'. The first cutting records the donation of £20 by 'Fredk. Gorring Buckingham Palace-road' and of £16 1s 0d by 'Employés of Fredk. Gorringe'; the second cutting reproduces a letter from Gorringe reading: 'TO THE EDITOR OF "THE DAILY TELEGRAPH." SIR - I have pleasure in sending a cheque for £20 towards the fund being raised for the assistants who are sufferers by the Edgware-road fire; also one for £16 1s from my employés. - Yours faithfully FREDK. GORRINGE. Buckingham Palace-road June 5.' The fire had occurred on 30 May 1888 with The Times devoting the following day's editorial to it beginning: 'London has been visited by many greater and more destructive fires but by few more tragic and pathetic in their circumstances than that which occurred in the Edgware-road shortly after six o'clock yesterday morning. The large drapery establishment of Messrs. GARROULD occupying the angle formed by the Edgware-road and Queen-street was suddenly attacked by fire and five of the young assistants who slept in the upper floors were burnt to death or suffocated while five more were seriously scorched or injured by jumping from the windows.' The Times drew parallels with another fire eight months before at the Exeter Theatre and concluded that it had 'once more taught Londoners the lesson that they cannot have efficient protection from fire without paying for it'.
