Humane Policy; or Justice to the Aborigines of New Settlements
AU$1,200.00 Read MoreAdd to cartS. Bannister
London: Thomas and George Underwood, 1830.Saxe Bannister (1790-1877) was the first Attorney-General of New South Wales, though short-lived in the position due to constant clashing with other figures of the new colony, including over the mistreatment of the Aborigines. Though failing to find content in his work he is noted as being philanthropic and humane in his disposition with “a devotion to the welfare of children, convicts, and coloured inhabitants of the Empire” (ADB). Upon returning to England he authored numerous pamphlets on behalf of indigenous people in the colonies, and this, his longest work on the subject, largely devoted to South Africa, though with numerous references from his time in New South Wales. This copy with the armorial bookplate of Fairclough and the Aborigines Protection Society in manuscript at the crown of the title page.

Tong was a journalist and diplomat, serving as the Ambassador of the Republic of China to Japan when this edition was published later as the Ambassador to the United States. This revised edition, published 16 years after the first edition, condenses the story of Chiang Kai-shek’s life pre-1936, which was covered at length in the two volume first edition, and focuses on the epic years which followed, 1937-1953. This copy inscribed by Tong in Tokyo, 1953, to the polyglot Boris Strjeshevsky, an officer in the Imperial Russian Army that fled to China where he learned English and Chinese and taught Russian to the Chinese, before moving to Japan in 1939 where he learned Japanese and taught languages, before finally moving to Queensland, Australia, where he taught Russian at the University of Queensland.

Awakening a Curate’s Library: The Rev. William Arderne Shoults (1839-1887): His Life, His Book Collection, and his Legacy to New Zealand
AU$65.00 Read MoreAdd to cartDonald Jackson Kerr
: The Bibliographical Society of Australia and New Zealand, 2022.“This book is the first to provide an account of the life of Rev. William Arderne Shoults (1839-1887) and his book collecting. It is also the first detailed examination of a true survivor, his book collection of some 5600 items, including medieval manuscripts, incunables, books on ecclesiastical history and primitive church rites and rituals, philology, bibliography, science, travel, and Arabic and Persian texts. The contents cover Shoults’s early years at St. John’s College, Cambridge University, his work in some of the poorer ritualistic parishes of London, his association with the Rev. Joseph Leycester Lyne (1837-1908), the controversial, enthusiastic, revivalist known as ‘Father Ignatius’, his work on Latin hymns, his marriage, and his travel overseas, which included visiting the Vatican Library. After Shoults’s death at 48, his collection was gifted to Selwyn College, Dunedin, arriving in New Zealand in 1893. The survival of this collection is remarkable and it exists as a fine example of what a nineteenth-century curate could collect.” (publisher’s blurb)
