First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Very Good+. First Edition. ix, (1), 325, (3) pages; Clean and secure in original pictorial dark blue cloth binding with image of a naval vessel at sea on front board and an anchor in seaweed at spine. OCLC 259971708 Owner's brief inscription on ffep: "Merry Xmas to / Coleman / From Cleveland" Illustrated with a frontispiece and 7 additional full page plates. Willis Boyd Allen (1855-1938) was born at Kittery Point, Maine in 1855. He graduated from Harvard University in 1878 and from Boston University Law School in 1881. In addition to his law practice, Allen was a prolific writer, particularly of maritime novels. He contributed many pieces to the Literary journals of the day -- Atlantic Monthly, Century, Scribner s, Harper s, Lippincott s, etc. This book is set in the northern Pacific Ocean at the time of the Russo-Japanese War. The dramatic tale begins with 'The Trial of the Retvizan': "It was a clear, cool afternoon in early September, 1901. In the country the tawny hillsides were warmed to gold by the glow of the autumn sun, while here and there a maple lifted its crimson torch as if the forest were kindling where the rays were the hottest. . Only a few miles away the air was rent by a clamour of discordant sound. Ponderous hammers beat upon plates of iron and brass; machinery rumbled and shrieked and hissed at its work; a thousand men, labouring as if for their lives, pulled, pushed, lifted, pounded, shouted orders, warnings, replies above the din that beat upon the ear like a blacksmith's blows upon an anvil. . A vast upheaval seemed imminent. Yet the countless toilers worked securely and swiftly, fashioning that dread floating citadel of modern warfare, the Battleship." The recipient of this book John Coleman Jennings (1892 - 1978) was born in Johannesburg, where his father was a very successful mining engineer in the South African gold fields. The family moved to Washington in 1906 and Coleman Jennings remained a resident of that city thereafter. He graduated from Harvard College and spent two years at Harvard Law School before being commissioned in the Army in World War I. During the war, he served in France and later was an aide to President Woodrow Wilson at the Versailles Peace Conference. In 1920 he succeeded his father Hennen Jennings as a director of The Alabama Company (incorporated 1913, successor to Alabama Consolidated Coal & Iron Co. and Alabama Company General Gold). From 1920 to 1928 he was an assistant manager in the Washington office of the National City Company, an investment banking house founded in 1845 and once one of the ten largest banks in America. In 1928, Jennings gave up his business career to devote his life to philanthropic endeavors. By that time he already had served five years as president of the old Family Service Association in Washington and had become engaged in youth work. During a year of study at the University of Edinburgh, he organized a social club in a poor section of the city. The organization was still in operation at the time of Jennings death - fifty years after he inaugurated the program. From 1929 to 1932 he was associate volunteer of college work for the National Council of the Episcopal Church. In the 1930s and 1940s, he served as president of the old Washington Community Chest, which became the United Way. He also was chairman of the Community War Chest campaigns in Washington during World War II, a trustee of the Boys' Club and chairman of the Service Commission of the Federation of Churches.

Inscribed and SIGNED by the author on ffep to his classmate from the Harvard University Class of 1915. Includes a bit on big game hunting with Theodore Roosevelt. Robert Winthrop Kean (1893 1980) was an American Republican Party politician and member of one of the nation's oldest and longest serving political families. He served in the National Guard and later in the U.S. Army during World War I under the command of General John J. Pershing, earning the rank of lieutenant, the Silver Star, and the Distinguished Service Cross. Kean became involved in politics at a young age, observing the Inauguration of President Theodore Roosevelt in 1905. Young Kean was a Roosevelt supporter, although his uncle and father had publicly endorsed the incumbent President, William Howard Taft. After the war, Kean worked in investment banking in New Jersey and New York City, heading a firm known as Kean, Taylor & Company. He was a founder of the Livingston National Bank. Kean became U.S. congressman in 1938, representing New Jersey's 12th congressional district serving ten terms in that role. During his twenty years in Congress, Kean served as Ranking Minority Member of the House Ways and Means Committee and on the House Banking and Currency Committee. He was considered an expert on Social Security and Taxation law, and was called "Mr. Social Security" in Washington.; Signed by Author.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. First Edition. 248 pages; INSCRIBED and SIGNED by the author on ffep -- "To my dear Godson / Coleman Jennings ' with the author's / affectionate respect / Jas B Taylor / 10/3/39" OCLC 504593501 Edited by Henry O'Kelly Webber. With 25 illustrations. Toning to titlepage from laid-in news clipping (a review of the book from the Cape Times, Apr. 8, 1939), otherwise clean and secure in orignal brown cloth binding. James Benjamin Taylor (1860 1944) was a South African Randlord (Rand Baron). Jim B. Taylor followed a familiar late 19th century route to great wealth diamonds in Kimberley, gold in Barberton and Pilgrim's Rest and ending up on the Witwatersrand in Johannesburg. He became a confidant of President Paul Kruger of the Zuid-Afrikaansche Republiek and acted as intermediary between Kruger's government and the mining industry, making him privy to the political machinations leading to the Jameson Raid and the Anglo-Boer War. Taylor began his endeavors in diamond broking by joining Alfred Beit, the leading diamond merchant in Kimberley, who had established a reputation for being scrupulously fair in all his business dealings. After a trip to London (his first) and engaging in a Grand Tour of the Continent, Taylor returned to Kimberley to find the recession of 1882 had financially crippled him. Shifting their attention to the Witwatersrand, Taylor and his business associates in the Corner Group made a second fortune in the gold mining industry. Taylor, having a keen insight into what was coming, left South Africa for Britain before the Jameson Raid and the Anglo-Boer War; however, after World War I Taylor returned to the Cape. Taylor's life encompassed riches and success, setbacks and resurrection, as well as adventure, hunting, fishing, and travel. The book is inscribed to Coleman Jennings, the son of Taylor's friend, gold mining colleague and fellow Randlord Hennen Jennings. Taylor In Chapter XII of this book, Taylor discusses the hiring of Hennen Jennings and the incredible contributions he made to the establishment, expansion and development of the Rand mines. James Hennen Jennings (1854-1920), a mining engineer, born at Hawesville, KY. After attending private schools in London and Derbyshire, England, Jennings returned to Kentucky and set up a lumber business, but soon wanted to further his engineeering education. He graduated from the Lawrence Scientific School of Harvard University in 1877 with the degree C.E. Jennings then headed West and worked in gold and quicksilver mines in California for the next ten years. In 1887 he went to Venezuela for another mining job. Finally, his talents as an innovative mining engineer, took him to South Africa. During 1889-1905 he was consulting engineer of H. Eckstein, in Johannesburg, and Wemher Beit, in London. In the rough and tumble of South Africa, he managed to keep out of John Hays Hammond's conspiracy to overthrow Kruger's government and to earn a fortune (the equivalent of about 10 million pounds in 2014) before he returned to America in 1905.

First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. First Edition. x, 358 pages; Clean and secure in original green cloth binding with gilt lettering at spine and front board; light rubbing at extremities and fading to right side of front board, small shallow ink spot on foredge. Original owner's name in pencil on ffep - "Coleman Jennings / Sept. 20th 1907." In an era when Madison Grant and others were promulgating theories of eugenics, Sophia Shaler was writing this work championing several individuals who overcame disabilities to accomplish great things. Sophia Shaler was inspired by her husband Nathaniel Southgate Shaler (1841-1906), noted American paleontologist and geologist, who, despite significant physical challenges, wrote extensively on the theological and scientific implications of the theory of evolution. [Somewhat ironic that N.S. Shaler was an apologist for slavery and believed in the superiority of the Anglo-Saxon race.] In the current environment of the novel coronavirus pandemic, this work is a reminder that there are those among us with physical frailties, who might still make great contributions to human science and culture. When addressing the human population, physical stamina cannot be a paramount criterion. PROVENANCE: John Coleman Jennings (1892 - 1978) was born in Johannesburg, where his father was a very successful mining engineer in the South African gold fields. The family moved to Washington in 1906 and Coleman Jennings remained a resident of that city thereafter. He graduated from Harvard College and spent two years at Harvard Law School before being commissioned in the Army in World War I. During the war, he served in France and later was an aide to President Woodrow Wilson at the Versailles Peace Conference. In 1920 he succeeded his father Hennen Jennings as a director of The Alabama Company (incorporated 1913, successor to Alabama Consolidated Coal & Iron Co. and Alabama Company General Gold). From 1920 to 1928 he was an assistant manager in the Washington office of the National City Company, an investment banking house founded in 1845 and once one of the ten largest banks in America. In 1928, Jennings gave up his business career to devote his life to philanthropic endeavors.
