The Principles of Political Economy: with a sketch of the rise and progress of the science.
Edinburgh, Tait 1825. Octavo contemporary half calf. Some occasional light browning, a splodge in one margin and an insignificant stain on the edge of the last couple of pages. A very good copy.
¶ First edition. On the title in pencil is 'Lord Overstone', there is some pencilling inside and penned at the end of the text is the opening passage by Shelley on the labour of man being the only real wealth; dated 1850, the year Samuel Loyd became Baron Overstone. Overstone (a friend and eventual owner of McCulloch's library) was a banker and liberal politician, one of the richest men in England and one of the most influential in terms of finance and currency. McCulloch edited a series of tracts for Overstone in 1856 and 57 and in 1858 edited a collection of Overstone's own tracts.

![McIVER, G. [George]., Neuroomia: A New Continent. A manuscript delivered from the deep.](https://www.antiqbook.com/images/AB_images/n/ney_Neuroomia11130.jpg "Click to enlarge")
Neuroomia: A New Continent. A manuscript delivered from the deep.
Melbourne, George Robertson 1894. Octavo publisher's printed wrapper. A touch of wear to the bottom of the spine; a nice copy, outstanding for this book, usually found in gruesome shape.
¶ First edition, Australian wrappered issue to be precise. It appeared in cloth, boards, or wrappers, and with a London imprint. Neuroomia is a true utopia, larger than Australia, hidden in the centre of the Antarctic. I have remarked before on the crowds of stranded or lost travellers roaming around the Antarctic towards the end of the 19th century. It's a big place but surely they must have bumped into each other. And all those ancient and advanced civilisations must have been cheek to jowl. I spent a bit of time wondering how much of this is naive and how much tongue in cheek, if not mocking. I'm undecided. But it's clear McIver understood well the form of imaginary travel: the hero must be a blockhead, otherwise nothing ever happens to interrupt endless sere and drear explanatory dialogues. He's made our hero an indefatigably bumptious, often offensive blockhead - and a serial mauler of lovely young women - so there's plenty of action. Neuroomia is an impressively advanced socialist white middle class heaven, or would be if there was any religion. Women have liberty and equality but choose not to take any part in decision making and "are always careful not to abuse that liberty." Our hero was frightened by individual flying machines on his first day in Neuroomian society but that seems to have been a lost art by the next page. All travel from then is by ship, rail, or creature drawn carts - on a bewildering scale to be fair. No more than two thirds of the way through our hero begins to be reflective and learn from his painful self inflicted lessons so overall consequence needs ratcheting up and we are introduced to prehistoric - to us, not the Neuroomians - cataclysms caused by a wandering planet, life on Mars, interplanetary migration and the source of life on earth. None of this gets too much in our way. McIver, a schoolteacher at Macksville in northerly NSW when he wrote this, apparently made some money from it. If so, he wasn't spurred to produce more. Much later he wrote for papers and magazines, produced a memoir of his droving days, and a slim volume of verse near the end of his life.

A typical Hikifuda in that businesses had their own details put in the centre panel. I've traced two images of this handbill, one with a blank centre panel, the other for a different company.

The Fire Stick: Incidents in the shearer's strike. A tale of bush life.
n.p. [Brisbane 1893?]. Octavo publisher's illustrated boards. A few small knicks, a rather good copy.
¶ The attribution to Cameron seems fairly well accepted. A virulently anti-union novel so it's no surprise that neither the printer nor author dared put their name on it (both the title and last leaf appear to be cancels - redone without colophon or any other details). Can we presume that fear of retribution also accounts for the fact that so many copies were clearly never circulated until recent decades? Surely it couldn't be the writing, plot, paper thin characters: villainous unionists and cartoon blacks? Plenty of other novels have done well on worse. Cameron was a pastoralist and politician, a leader of the anti-union movement (they "aimed at nothing short of REVOLUTION") and a central figure in the strike. A confirmed White Australian he was known to declare, I gather while campaigning for office, that "I have never believed in the principle of one man one vote, and nothing will ever convince me that men should have equal voting rights".

[Manguwa Shin Heiki Hatsumei Sugoroku].
Osaka, Metabolin [193-?]. Colour game on card 26x39cm with original folds; advertising on the back in red and blue. This came as a sort of envelope, folded twice with a paper seal holding it together, unfolding to show the game on the inside. Several tape repairs.
¶ Somewhere, sometime, I don't know when, someone decided that books, pictures, games and toys for tiny children should be simple to the point of idiocy, drably educative as socially prescribed, and starved of imagination. Our artist here has followed the simple line for a way but knew that the thing all toddlers are thrilled by is daring new inventions in weaponry. This was some sort of gift or premium from the makers of Metabolin, a vitamin B1 supplement, nothing to do with the steroid Metabolin. Maybe you got it after swallowing a hundred tablets. Naturally I can't find mention of another copy anywhere, not even in the Kitatama Pharmaceutical Association Mueum which has several games and paper toys.

¶ Handy educational tool for the imminent establishment of the metric system as Japan's official system of measurement. Up until then metric, imperial and traditional measures were legal. It was proposed to make a gradual change over ten years but by the thirties the nationalistic backlash meant that it was all postponed again. And again. The American occupation forces cared nothing for metrics and it was the mid sixties before everybody was up to scratch.

¶ An enchanting and self evident exposition on the value of pictures in learning. Seemingly as simple as a phrenology chart but judging by the amount of text worked into all those different parts of the brain perhaps a lot more complex. From the little, as an illiterate, I can glean on brain function as outlined here this might sit somewhere between phrenology and neurophysics. The open area at the very centre of the brain is labelled - unknown.

Elements of Political Economy. Second edition, revised and corrected.
London, for Baldwin &c 1824. Octavo, untrimmed in original boards (spine quite chipped, remnants of printed label). A hint of browning, rather good. Neat contemporary inscription on front fly: Ditchling Library 679; and neat 1892 inscription of a Robert Turner on the title.
¶ Heaps of changes and improvements writes Mill: 'greater developement [sic] ... clearer proof ... more palpable ... rewritten ... more fully expounded ... cleared of some ambiguity ... a new section ...'. It would hardly be surprising, then, that readers would dump their slipshod first edition in the bin the moment they unwrapped this.

[Jiyu no Ri or Jiyuno Kotowari depending on the transcriber]. On Liberty.
Shizuoka, Kihira Ken'ichiro [1872]. Five volumes in six books 23x16cm, publisher's yellow wrappers with title labels. Preface in English signed EWC, this was Edward Warren Clark who taught science in Shizuoka and, later, Tokyo. Covers a bit marked, an excellent set with the original printed outer wrapper (fukuro).
¶ The first Japanese edition of Mill's On Liberty - a book that Douglas Howland (in Personal Liberty and Public Good) tells us was "reportedly read by the entire generation of educated Japanese who came of age during the restoration". I hoped to be able to nail down any issue points and clear up any confusion between the two forms this book takes: the five volumes bound as six books, as here, with volume two divided into two; or bound as five books. The confusion is heightened because many libraries and cataloguers use the 1871 date on the title, ignoring the preface dated January 1872. I thought that a sort of colophon for Dojinsha - Nakamura's school - pasted inside the last back cover might help, but that leaf appears in both versions. Only the cover labels seem to be different. I've found nothing in any language that examines the printing history and while the rule of thumb - everywhere in the world - is that the more costly version - in materials and time - usually came first, I've had to conclude that there isn't any discernible priority and the difference may well be where, rather than when, the books were bound. Nakamura's translation of Smile's 'Self Help' was also published by Kihira in Shizuoka and it seems that Kihira Ken'ichiro existed as a publisher only for Nakamura's translations of these two books which he made in Shizuoka - home of the deposed Tokugawa shogun - where he taught after his return from England in 1868 until 1872. In other words, Nakamura was really the publisher of both books. Worldcat finds five, maybe six, locations outside of Japan - one in Britain, the rest in the US - all but one are catalogued as 1871.

![Coal mine., [Tanko].](https://www.antiqbook.com/images/AB_images/n/ney_Tanko11160.jpg "Click to enlarge")
[Tanko].
Tokyo, 1940 (Showa 15) Colour poster 53x77cm. A little dusty and frayed around the edges.
¶ Mines sure came a long way from the hell for the choiceless, the bereft, and the suicidal that Soseki wrote about in 1908. That was a copper mine, I admit, but by 1940 underground workers in coal mines weren't just women and convicts. Unless of course you were forced labour from Manchuria, China, or Korea. Still, all that has nothing to do with the shining, automated, downright pretty, triumph of tidy technology we have here. The artist is K. Homma. This is from a series of educational posters for schools, Wakamoto Kyoiku Kakezono. This changed my preconceptions about life in a coal mine so I wonder what else they published in the series. I might have to change my mind about a lot of things. I've found no mention of any other posters in the series.

[Boken Soyu Sugoroku].
Tokyo, Hakubunkan 1908 (Meiji 41). 54x80cm colour printed broadside. Mild signs of use, rather good with the playing pieces in the top margin.
¶ This stylish adventure sugoroku was the new year gift from the magazine Boken Sekai (Adventure World). A thrill seeking family jaunt around the world meeting sea serpents, sirens and ghouls of some sort, killing all sorts of large beasts on the way. Only father and the older son get to kill things but mother does get to drive a car, radical enough. Kosugi Misai was another of those painters who started by studying western art and discovered Japanese art outside Japan; in his case in Paris in 1913.
