Description
Stubbs, Lewis St. George (1878-1958). The Macdonald Will Case. Winnipeg, Manitoba: Wallingford Press, 1930. First Edition, First Printing. pp. 36. 8vo., measuring 6″ x 9″. Stapled card covers. One facsimile. Remarkably well-preserved, contents remain bright, clean, and unmarked with tight, sound binding; near fine. Stubbs wrote in the Foreword: “Just a word as to the necessity for the publication of this pamphlet. Two weeks ago today, on the 24th ult., I delivered my final, reasoned, written Judgement in “The Macdonald Will Case.” The case is one of the most important in the history of the Province; and, perhaps, no previous Judgement in our courts ever so vitally affected the public interests. Yet the JUDGEMENT has been practically suppressed in the public press, ostensibly from fear or through threat of libel action”. Lewis St. George Stubbs served as the Surrogate Judge and Senior Country Court Judge for the Eastern Judicial District for the Province of Manitoba at the time of the rendering of his verdict. Stapled Wraps. See Peel #5508. (#2381) $118.00
![I’ve scarcely finished cataloguing this lovely little book of pressed flowers from the Holy Land. Just had to share it with all you. 🌺
Wild Flowers of the Holy Land; Matt. VI, 28, 29, 30 ; London Society’s Mission to the Jews.
[Ferdinand Vester]; London Jews’ Society’s “House of Industry”. Jerusalem, Palestine: Printed at the London Jews’ Society’s House of Industry, Jerusalem, N.D. [Circa 1890’s?]. First Edition. Unpaginated [Fourteen unnumbered leaves]. Oblong 12mo., measuring 12 x 18 cm. Original quarter maroon leather over gorgeous polished bevelled olive-wood boards bearing “Jerusalem” in black atop a deeply carved Jerusalem cross to the front board; like carving to the rear boards with Jerusalem printed in Hebrew characters to the centre; marbled edges, and ivory silk-moiré endpapers. Comprises of eleven beautifully arranged dried flower specimens mounted on stiff leaves, most (excepting two) accompanied with their original, remarkably well-preserved, tissue-guards, and individually captioned with their respective geographic origins (e.g.: “Flowers from Mount Zion”, “Flowers from the Mount of Olives”, etc.). Lightest wear to the leather spine, else, no other flaws noted to the extremities. Faint toning to the title page, otherwise, contents remain near-uniformly without blemish, and with firm, sound binding. A most lovely, and unique period offering from the Holy Land. Rare to be offered in commerce in this edition, and state. This edition unrecorded in WorldCat, however, nominally corresponds to OCLC #753636624 (with notable differences in pagination, and the number of specimens). See also OCLC #698494522.
