	ANDREWS C T Dark Awakening : A History of St Lawrence's Hospital C T Andrews, U.K. 1978. Copyright, Hard Cover. Fine [Better Than Very Good]/Very Good. Signed by Author. xii, 276 pages with an index. Illustrated with black and white photographs. ' John Pearce writes: What Cornish writer records the past with greater insight, who clothes histories in such limpid English? Those who treasure 'The First Cornish Hospital' by Dr. Charles Andrews will expect excellence. It will be found in his account of the life of Bodmin Asylum, as it is still widely known. Masses of statistical material have been used in the telling of a human story - a story sometimes tragic and often humorous but invariably related in a fascinating manner. The past ends in the present and readers will not judge the standards of earlier days by those upheld in our own time, nor will they fail to realise that what passes today is likely to be scorned tomorrow. Two splendid books then, from the hand of a man of learning and experience, which might well be envied by the professional historian '. Book - Fine [much better than Very Good] - 3 small spots of yellowing to the half title page, minor marking to the page edges. SIGNED BY THE AUTHOR to the half title page. Dust Jacket - Very Good - a nice bright red and black jacket with no fading as so often found with red, and with just an inch or so closed tear to the front top edge and an half an inch closed tear to the top of the spine both repaired to the verso, minor chipping to the extreme edges.

	AXELSON ERIC [EDITED BY GEORGE WOODCOCK] Congo to Cape : Early Portuguese Explorers Faber & Faber, U.K. 1973. First Edition, Hard Cover. Fine/Near Fine. 224 pages with an index. Illustrated with 10 black and white plates and 3 maps. "The Portuguese were remarkable explorers, discovering for Europe the west coast of Africa, and the sea-routes to India, China and Japan, and across the Atlantic to Brazil. Most of these explorations are well known, but this book reconstructs for the general reader the explorations down the west coast of Africa from the equator to the southern extremity of the continent and into the Indian Ocean. Professor Eric Axelson describes and discusses tlie explorations of Diogo Cao, 1482-6, from Cape Santa Catarina, near the equator, into tlie estuary of the Congo, to the Kingdom of the Congo people, and as far as south-west Africa; and of Bartolomeu Dias who in 1487-8 rounded what he happily called the Cape of Good Hope and triumphantly opened the sea-route into the Indian Ocean. Diogo Cao and Bartolomeu Dias on their memorable and exciting voyages raised a number of stone pillars, inscribed in Portugal, which were landmarks, assertions of Portuguese sovereignty, and symbols of Christianity. Eric Axelson describes tliese pillars, including his own sensational finding of the farthest pillar erected by Dias, of further fragments of one erected by Dias in south-west Africa, his searches for one placed by Dias on the Cape of Good Hope, and his recovery of chips from the one raised by Cao in south west Africa."

	BIRKBECK P W [AS TOLD TO] AND POPE RITA TREGELLAS [EDITED BY] Down to the Sea in Ships : The Memoirs of James Henry Treloar Cliff Dyllansow Truran, U.K. 1983. First Edition, Hard Cover. Near Very Good/Near Very Good. 144 pages, size 8.75 inches tall by 6.25 inches. Illustrated with black and white photographs. PREFACE : Within the last few years there has been an upsurge of zeal for recording local history at first hand in order to capture the past before it is completely obliterated by the age of speed, space craft and silicone chips. It is fortunate for Cornwall that Mr. P.W. Birkbeck- now of Helston - foresaw today's problems even before the Second World War. For he it was who recorded the unique memories of a typical Cornish seafaring man to give us accounts of events which span almost two centuries of life in a tiny fishing village. Mr. Birkbeck, who was born at Looe, married a St. Keverne girl so not unnaturally spent a great deal of time in the area. Subsequent visits brought him into contact with James Cliff and he enjoyed many hours in the fisherman's company. The stories Mr. Birkbeck heard were so fascinating that he urged Cliff to write them down. Eventually, with Mr. Birkbeck's help, these valuable memories were recorded and remain an invaluable source of local social history. The result contained in the following pages is the first and only authentic account of the complete MEMOIRS OF JAMES HENRY TRELOAR CLIFF. Rita Tregellas Pope '. Book - in Very Good brown boards with gilt lettering - just a touch bumped to the extreme ends of the spine. Contents, replaced endpapers and there is a Cornwall County Library stamp to the title page and this is the only evidence that this is an EX LIBRARY book, light marking to some pages, otherwise the contents are clean, bright and tightly bound.

	BLACKHAM H J [EDITED BY BARBARA SMOKER] Future of Our Past : From Ancient Greece to Global Village Prometheus Books, US, 1996. Hard Cover. Fine [Better Than Very Good]/Fine [Better Than Very Good]. 411 pages with an index. "History has become focused on the future-our fast-paced, global communication finds us always looking to the next horizon. But considering the dire threats from environmental degradation, nuclear proliferation, and vicious ethnic rivalries, one may wonder what sort of future is in store for humanity. We cannot know where we are going if we do not know where we came from. Now more than ever it is important for the Western world to take the time to understand, appreciate, and learn from its rich past. The Future of Our Past is a powerful thematic essay by eminent scholar H.J. Blackham, who follows the course of'Western history into the postreligious present in terms of cultural inheritance and legacy. Pagan Greece, Yahw'eh's Judea, and Christian Rome are the three universal models that have shaped our past and continue to shape the present. From the Renaissance through the Enlightenment and on into the modern industrial period, the West has evolved in often tumultuous ways. As science, politics, and economics grew and developed, they would clash with, and finally break away from, the established religious viewpoint. What does the secular world offer us as a new vision of humanity? What hope can be found in today's many upheavals? Blackham restores our sense of civilization as a precious inheritance of the past in which we all share. His valuable observations help us to appreciate our responsibility to reserve this legacy and pass it on to future generations". Book - Near Fine - slight bumping to bottom of spine.

With numerous actual sepia photographs tipped in. PREFACE : Paramount among the many inspirational influences that emerged from the ordeal of 1914-1918 stands the unquenchable spirit of our fighting services. Distilled drop by crystal drop from the trials and the triumphs of our men at arms, the patience and the courage of our women, and, above all, from that sublime quality, Mateship, it is the very essence of Australian national sentiment. This nobility of purpose, this Digger spirit, call it what you will, represents a tangible asset which has been inherited by a new generation of warriors in whom the old metal rings true. The present volume is a recreation, from the Commonwealth's official archives, of a series of dramatic episodes in word and picture that depicts the many and arduous purifying processes to which that spirit was subjected from 1914 to 1918 ere the newer generation relieved its predecessor of its guardianship; and illustrates, in a similar authentic series, the capacity with which the new guard is fulfilling its stewardship in 1941. This handing on of a dearly bought tradition did not involve the creation of a new entity in order to receive it. The same breed has taken over. There has been merely a Changing of the Guard. To the old guard fell the proud privilege of shaping beginnings, to the new that of adding the lustre, These photographs of our fighting forces are mainly the work of the official photographers attached to the various services. In the publication of this volume the Board of Management of the Australian War Memorial is especially indebted to Captain G. D. Mitchell. M.C.. D.C.M. and Messrs. Cyril Samuels and A. W. Bazley who contributed to the selection of the photographs. Their arrangement, and the production of the descriptive matter. T.H.E.H. Canberra. A.C.T.. Anzac Day, 1941.

	ANDREWS C T Dark Awakening : A History of St Lawrence's Hospital C T Andrews, U.K. 1978. Copyright, Hard Cover. Fine [Better Than Very Good]/Very Good. Signed by Author. xii, 276 pages with an index. Illustrated with black and white photographs. ' John Pearce writes: What Cornish writer records the past with greater insight, who clothes histories in such limpid English? Those who treasure 'The First Cornish Hospital' by Dr. Charles Andrews will expect excellence. It will be found in his account of the life of Bodmin Asylum, as it is still widely known. Masses of statistical material have been used in the telling of a human story - a story sometimes tragic and often humorous but invariably related in a fascinating manner. The past ends in the present and readers will not judge the standards of earlier days by those upheld in our own time, nor will they fail to realise that what passes today is likely to be scorned tomorrow. Two splendid books then, from the hand of a man of learning and experience, which might well be envied by the professional historian '.

	AXELSON ERIC [EDITED BY GEORGE WOODCOCK] Congo to Cape : Early Portuguese Explorers Faber & Faber, U.K. 1973. First Edition, Hard Cover. Fine/Near Fine. 224 pages with an index. Illustrated with 10 black and white plates and 3 maps. "The Portuguese were remarkable explorers, discovering for Europe the west coast of Africa, and the sea-routes to India, China and Japan, and across the Atlantic to Brazil. Most of these explorations are well known, but this book reconstructs for the general reader the explorations down the west coast of Africa from the equator to the southern extremity of the continent and into the Indian Ocean. Professor Eric Axelson describes and discusses tlie explorations of Diogo Cao, 1482-6, from Cape Santa Catarina, near the equator, into tlie estuary of the Congo, to the Kingdom of the Congo people, and as far as south-west Africa; and of Bartolomeu Dias who in 1487-8 rounded what he happily called the Cape of Good Hope and triumphantly opened the sea-route into the Indian Ocean. Diogo Cao and Bartolomeu Dias on their memorable and exciting voyages raised a number of stone pillars, inscribed in Portugal, which were landmarks, assertions of Portuguese sovereignty, and symbols of Christianity. Eric Axelson describes tliese pillars, including his own sensational finding of the farthest pillar erected by Dias, of further fragments of one erected by Dias in south-west Africa, his searches for one placed by Dias on the Cape of Good Hope, and his recovery of chips from the one raised by Cao in south west Africa."

Near Very Good/Near Very Good. 144 pages, size 8.75 inches tall by 6.25 inches. Illustrated with black and white photographs. PREFACE : Within the last few years there has been an upsurge of zeal for recording local history at first hand in order to capture the past before it is completely obliterated by the age of speed, space craft and silicone chips. It is fortunate for Cornwall that Mr. P.W. Birkbeck- now of Helston - foresaw today's problems even before the Second World War. For he it was who recorded the unique memories of a typical Cornish seafaring man to give us accounts of events which span almost two centuries of life in a tiny fishing village. Mr. Birkbeck, who was born at Looe, married a St. Keverne girl so not unnaturally spent a great deal of time in the area. Subsequent visits brought him into contact with James Cliff and he enjoyed many hours in the fisherman's company. The stories Mr. Birkbeck heard were so fascinating that he urged Cliff to write them down. Eventually, with Mr. Birkbeck's help, these valuable memories were recorded and remain an invaluable source of local social history. The result contained in the following pages is the first and only authentic account of the complete MEMOIRS OF JAMES HENRY TRELOAR CLIFF. Rita Tregellas Pope '. Book - in Very Good brown boards with gilt lettering - just a touch bumped to the extreme ends of the spine. Contents, replaced endpapers and there is a Cornwall County Library stamp to the title page and this is the only evidence that this is an EX LIBRARY book, light marking to some pages, otherwise the contents are clean, bright and tightly bound.

	BLACKHAM H J [EDITED BY BARBARA SMOKER] Future of Our Past : From Ancient Greece to Global Village Prometheus Books, US, 1996. Hard Cover. Fine [Better Than Very Good]/Fine [Better Than Very Good]. 411 pages with an index. "History has become focused on the future-our fast-paced, global communication finds us always looking to the next horizon. But considering the dire threats from environmental degradation, nuclear proliferation, and vicious ethnic rivalries, one may wonder what sort of future is in store for humanity. We cannot know where we are going if we do not know where we came from. Now more than ever it is important for the Western world to take the time to understand, appreciate, and learn from its rich past. The Future of Our Past is a powerful thematic essay by eminent scholar H.J. Blackham, who follows the course of'Western history into the postreligious present in terms of cultural inheritance and legacy. Pagan Greece, Yahw'eh's Judea, and Christian Rome are the three universal models that have shaped our past and continue to shape the present. From the Renaissance through the Enlightenment and on into the modern industrial period, the West has evolved in often tumultuous ways. As science, politics, and economics grew and developed, they would clash with, and finally break away from, the established religious viewpoint. What does the secular world offer us as a new vision of humanity? What hope can be found in today's many upheavals? Blackham restores our sense of civilization as a precious inheritance of the past in which we all share. His valuable observations help us to appreciate our responsibility to reserve this legacy and pass it on to future generations". Book - Near Fine - slight bumping to bottom of spine.

	BOARD OF MANAGEMENT OF THE AUSTRALIAN WAR MEMORIAL Changing of the Guard : Graphic Incidents of the Two Wars Reproduced from Official and Other Photographs Board of Management of the Australian War Memorial, Canberra, 1941. First Edition, Hard Cover. Good Plus/No Jacket. PLEASE EMAIL FOR SHIPPING RATES, NOTE A HEAVY BOOK APPROX 2.75K. 104 large pages, size 11.5 inches tall by 17.25 inches. With numerous actual sepia photographs tipped in. PREFACE : Paramount among the many inspirational influences that emerged from the ordeal of 1914-1918 stands the unquenchable spirit of our fighting services. Distilled drop by crystal drop from the trials and the triumphs of our men at arms, the patience and the courage of our women, and, above all, from that sublime quality, Mateship, it is the very essence of Australian national sentiment. This nobility of purpose, this Digger spirit, call it what you will, represents a tangible asset which has been inherited by a new generation of warriors in whom the old metal rings true. The present volume is a recreation, from the Commonwealth's official archives, of a series of dramatic episodes in word and picture that depicts the many and arduous purifying processes to which that spirit was subjected from 1914 to 1918 ere the newer generation relieved its predecessor of its guardianship; and illustrates, in a similar authentic series, the capacity with which the new guard is fulfilling its stewardship in 1941. This handing on of a dearly bought tradition did not involve the creation of a new entity in order to receive it. The same breed has taken over. There has been merely a Changing of the Guard. To the old guard fell the proud privilege of shaping beginnings, to the new that of adding the lustre, These photographs of our fighting forces are mainly the work of the official photographers attached to the various services. In the publication of this volume the Board of Management of the Australian War Memorial is especially indebted to Captain G. D. Mitchell. M.C.. D.C.M. and Messrs. Cyril Samuels and A. W. Bazley who contributed to the selection of the photographs. Their arrangement, and the production of the descriptive matter. T.H.E.H. Canberra. A.C.T.. Anzac Day, 1941.
