Growing Up by A.A. Milne (1882-1957). Single types

Growing Up by A.A. Milne (1882-1957). Single typescript leaf of the third-last poem (one of 44) which would form the basis for Milne’s best-selling book of poetry, When We Were Very Young (1924). Part of a larger offering of recently-acquired Milne-related papers.

Growing Up.

I’ve got shoes with grown up laces,
I’ve got knickers and a pair of braces,
I’m all ready to run some races.
Who’s coming out with me?

I’ve got a nice new pair of braces,
I’ve got shoes with new brown laces,
I know a wonderful paddly places.
Who’s coming out with me?

Every morning my new grace is,
“Thank you, God, for my nice braces:
I can tie my new brown laces.”
Who’s coming out with me?

When art making in Canada began to take a radical

When art making in Canada began to take a radical new direction, Joe Fafard was at the forefront, exploring new media and new imagery. His trademark ceramic cows and bulls have become iconic, and his three-dimensional portraits crackle with insight and humanity-as well as his trademark sly humour. Full details below. 👇

Heath, Terrance. Joe Fafard. Vancouver, Ottawa, Regina: Douglas & Mcintyre | National Gallery of Ottawa | MacKenzie Art Gallery, 2007. First Edition, First Printing. ISBN: 9781553652212. pp. 223. Square 4to. No detectable flaws, bright, clean, and unmarked with tight, sound binding; near fine and housed in very good+ lightly rubbed dustjacket. Hardcover.

Published to accompany a major travelling retrospective, here is the life and art of a Canadian sculptor whose witty works in bronze and clay have catapulted him to international acclaim. (#7083)

“I realized that I was on the verge of revealing

“I realized that I was on the verge of revealing the final apostasy of those who had dedicated their lives to bringing down the American Republic. I found this last, and most damning proof, not in some obscure protocol of the conspirators, hidden in some dusty recess, but in the imposing building of our National Archives. The secret was found in the language of our most sacred text, the Constitution of the United States of America.“

Mullins, Eustace [Clarence] (1923-2010). The Great Betrayal: The General Welfare Clause of the Constitution [SIGNED, First Edition]. Staunton, Virginia: Constitutional Commission, National Commission for Judicial Reform, 1991. First Edition, First Printing. pp. 37. Slim 8vo., measuring 14 x 21.5 cm. Navy-blue card covers with gilt lettering and illustration to the front. Exceptionally well-preserved: no detectable flaws to the extremities, contents equally without blemish. Appears unread; as new. Rare to be offered in commerce, in this edition, and state. SIGNED, inscribed and dated (August 6, 2000) by the author to the blank recto following the copyright page. Corresponds to OCLC #33390874 indicating only but two institutional holdings at time of cataloguing. Rare. The author was a noted American antisemitic conspiracy theorist, Holocaust denier, white supremacist, propagandist, and writer (and one-time disciple of Ezra Pound) once described as “a one-man organization of hate”. Mullins would lend research assistance to the anti-communist crusader Senator Joseph McCarthy in the early 1950’s while working for the Library of Congress, and over the course of several decades would write for a variety of anti-communist, antisemitic, pro-Nazi, and white supremacist publications. Card Covers. (#7053)

Boyer, Benjamin, O.M.I. (Trans.); Charles-Antonell

Boyer, Benjamin, O.M.I. (Trans.); Charles-Antonelli Lamarche, Preface (1870-1940); [Oblats de Marie-Immaculée].

Published: Québec, Canada: Oblats de Marie-Immaculée, 1937. First Edition, First Printing. pp. 104. Slim 12mo., measuring 4″ x 6″. Twice-stapled, stiff, tan, cloth covers. Engraved frontispice depicting Mary, accompanied with various additional, in-text, engraved, religious vignettes and illustrations. Followed by a preface comprising of spiritual encouragement and a blessing by Charles-Antonelli Lamarche (1870-1940), Bishop of Chicoutim, which is notably, and somewhat unusually, printed entirely in Innu-aimun. Remarkably well-preserved showing no flaws to the cloth extremities, contents equally without blemish with firm, sound, stapled binding; near fine. Text entirely in romanized Montagnais [Innu-aimun]. An exceptionally rare offering of this instructional Catholic text as rendered into the Innu-aimun, language of the Innu Peoples, by the early Quebec Oblate missionary, Benjamin Boyer. Corresponds to OCLC #937032495 indicating only but two institutional holdings at time of cataloguing (LAC/BAC & Bibliothèque et Archives nationales du Québec). Not found in Peel, UoM, Fisher. Rare indeed. Card Covers.

While little information is available on the author, Fr. Benjamin Boyer, and the circumstances which led to the present publication, it is known that he led a Catholic mission to the Montagnais reserve of Pointe-Bleue, Québec (known today as Mashteuiatsh). Levasseur writes that “the mission at Pointe-Bleue, finally, on a Montagnais reserve, prospered under the direction of Fathers Benjamin Boyer from 1913 to 1930 and of Joseph Decarie from 1931 to 1942. The latter also served an outpost at Lake Onistagan, some 300 kilometers north of Pointe-Bleue.” We were unable to locate any other works attributed to Boyer. [Source: Levasseur, D. (1989). A History of the Missionary Oblates of Mary Immaculate: Toward a Synthesis II 1898-1985 (p. 102). General House]. (#7086)
