Soft cover. Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. Fine; see scans and description. Chicago: Atomic Scientists of Chicago, 1948. The August, 1948 issue of The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists. The famous and historic Doomsday Clock - shown on each cover since 1947, two years after the publication's inception - here shows the time to be eight minutes of midnight as of mid-1948. Quarto, illustrated staple-bound wraps, 32 pp. (pages 225 through 256 for the annual volume, pages then being numbered after the fashion of the time). Fine; no flaws. Even the inevitable page paper toning is almost nonexistent. A handsome example; see all scans. Established in 1945 by biophysicist Eugene Rabinowitch and physicist Hyman Goldsmith in response to a correctly-perceived demand for nuclear information at the time by the general public, The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists is without doubt the most historically significant non-technical publication on the subject of "'global security and public policy issues related to the dangers posed by nuclear and other weapons of mass destruction, climate change,[2] and emerging technologies and diseases". Hence, over the years, BAS has become a geopolitical instrument, rather than a nuclear watchdog alone. Feature articles in this vintage 1948 issue: Edward U. Condon Cleared by Atomic Energy Commission; AEC Medical Program (Isotopes Symposium); Joyce Clennam Stearns; British Scientists on International Atomic Control; Atomic Power Prospects; Atomic Peace with Russia?: United Nations & Atomic Energy News; On the Application of Intelligence to World Affairs; Middle-Run International Planning. More, of course; see scan of contents. Contributors include William T. R. Fox; Shields Warren; Arthur Holly Compton (discoverer of The Compton Effect); Henry L. Stimson; M. H. L. Pryce; Philip Quincy Wright; Peter Kihss; and the editors. Very, very scarce as the original monthly softcover issue. Ships in a new, sturdy, protective box - not a bag. LPR30.

The three items are in good condition, on lightly-aged paper. The letter is 6pp., 4to, with emendations and deletions, and marked by Hodson 'Copy' at the head of the first page. In envelope annotated by Hodson: 'Copy of a letter to Lt. Col. P. Lyttleton Gell, J.P. | The Catholic Revival. In order to make his point of view clear, he begins by stating: 'I may say that I was born in London & my mother took me to such churches as S. Alban's Holborn, S. Michael's Shoreditch, All Saints, Margaret St. So that from early in the 70's I have been familiar with that type of church, & practically with no other. And all that I have learnt of doctrine, liturgy, history, has been taught from that point of view.' He concludes: 'With all its faults, and they are many, the Catholic Church is Christianity - and the nearer we get to the Catholic Church, the nearer we get to God. [.] If the Ch of England is fundamentally Protestant, let it be stated with authority, irrecovably, & we, who are not protestants will find our spiritual home in the Roman Communion.' Pinned to the letter is a long cutting from the Morning Post, 6 October 1923, titled 'The Anglican Position. | Movement for its Defence | Appeal to Churchmen.'Gell's name appears in a list of signatories at the end. A second cutting, from the Saturday Review, 1 September 1923, is attached to a slip from Durrant's press agency. It carries two letters to the editor, under the heading 'The Anglo-Catholic Movement'; the first is from John G. Hall of Malvern Link, and the second from Hodson, beginning 'SIR, - In discussing the present swing of the pendulum in the Church of England, there is a tendency to forget that England never accepted the Reformation wholeheartedly - and the Church of England claims, and holds, a unique position in Christendom by virtue of that fact.' Hodson was a wealthy brewer, collector of Pre-Raphaelite painting and patron of the Arts and Crafts movement and client of William Morris.
