Condition: Good. New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 1943., 1943. Good. - Quarto, 10-1/2 inches high by 7-3/4 inches wide. Softcover, bound in red, white and blue wraps, illustrated by McKnight Kauffer with a red arrow boldly pointing to the Third Reich's cross. The covers are rubbed & soiled with heavy creases to the corners. 126 & [2] pages. Good. First edition. As per the first paragraph of John Stork's review published in the September 26, 1943 issue of the New York Times: "Mr. Balderston has written a slashing attack on the two newspapers that on Dec. 4, 1941, published a secret American joint staff memorandum to President Roosevelt on our military policy. Those two newspapers are The Chicago Tribune and The Washington Times-Herald. It is Mr. Balderston's point that the action of these two newspapers in printing a secret document encouraged the Japanese to bomb Pearl Harbor three days later and that Hitler feinted the all-out attack on Moscow as a lure to the Japanese, until those putative Sons of Heaven had hopelessly involved themselves with us. It is a fascinating thesisïż½but it lacks chapter and verse; in fact, in an appendix signed "A Student of War" (one of Mr. Balderston's many aliases) it is admitted that it cannot be substantiated. However, a careful study of the information conveyed to our enemies by the publication of this document forms the basis of the pamphlet and the springboard from which Mr. Balderston launches his strange, off-center melodrama.".

From Clarence Burton's book "History of Wayne County and the City of Detroit, Michigan:" " 'Service to All' became his slogan in railroad management . . . 'We must provide facilities for men to make new business profitable. . . by giving them shipping facilities as good as they could get in any other center' (per Ledyard). . .When the passenger station in Detroit was destroyed by fire, within two hours he was running trains out of the new station which was then being built but which lacked two months of completion. He always recognized merit, faithfulness and ability upon the part of his employees and was ready to accord promotion as opportunity offered. While his business life was characterized by much of the precision of the military commander, those who came within the closer circle of his personal acquaintance had for him the greatest love and respect." Henry Brockholst Ledyard was born in the American embassy in Paris in 1844 while his father was part of the American delegation and died of heart disease at his home in Grosse Pointe Farms, Michigan, on May 24, 1921. Sold as a lot only.

A Weymouth Log Book absolutely bursting with meticulous detail which charts 'Bonito's' journey to Wales and its daily runs from its moorings in Moel y Don on Anglesey throughout the years 1957 - 1962. The vessel, a Vedette Mk II is owned by Dr K. K. Wood of Bury who has paid scrupulous attention to charting every twist and turn, adding many items of ephemera tipped in between the leaves. Annual trips on board to Puffin Island, Redwarf Bay, Britannia Bridge, Llandwyn Island and Caernarfon fill the leaves. Repairs and costs are recorded at Dickie's Boat House, dinner and lunch receipts (The Mermaid Inn) are pasted or laid in, hand drawn maps accompany detailed descriptions, photographs, weather reports, paper cuttings and letters reveal every detail of the vessel's history. A letter from HM Custom & Excise, Caernarfon dated Aug. 1962 reads ' I have to inform you that a lifeboat converted into a cabin cruiser, and named 'BONITO' was reported to me as having been found adrift near to the Menai Strait Bar on the ebb of the tide on the morning of 2nd August'. Further letters reveal that the 'Bonito' was subsequently recovered by a Mr Richard Lovell of Caer Ymryson and this log book, found in the cabin, reunited the vessel back with its owner. Very pleasingly photographs of what surely must be both the 'Bonito' and Mr K.K. Wood are laid into the final leaves. PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: Blue cloth hard backed boards titled in gilt in very good condition. Binding sound and square. Circa 100 pages within (all annotated in great detail) in clean, crisp condition. Measures 26 cm x 20 cm. A fabulous piece of maritime cultural history. Please contact Christian White Rare Books Ltd for more information or images of this item.

Extensively illustrated Midshipman's log book of a return voyage from England to Madras with drawings of an albatross-shoot, whale-ships burning oil, a mirage at sea and a sequence of coastal views including St Helena and Tristan da Cunha. PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: Folio-sized manuscript which has been copied by its author from the original document into a printed skeleton Log Book whilst incorporating his original drawings made on board the HMS Wellington. Rebound in recent quarter blue buckram over plain blue paper-covered boards. Borrer's original manuscript title 'Log Book' has been laid down on the upper cover. There are paper repairs to margins of the printed title page and the corners of a few early leaves. Borrer has added the details of his trip to the title page, laying in a sheet of signals and on the verso his manuscript list of 'Ships spoken with on the Wellingtons Voyage.' with 13 entries on the outward leg including for the 'Cachalot French South Sea Whaler', 'Newark American Whaler Ship' and the Australian-bound convict ship on its last voyage to New South Wales, 'Minerva English Schooner' which was carrying 7 transported women convicts from Ireland. Borrer lists the names of 83 members of the ship's company on the outward leg and 35 additional passengers returning including a Captain Prendergast who 'died at Sea' and concludes with the unnamed: '2 Native Servants - Cape of Good Hope'. Laid down on the verso of this preliminary leaf is a coastal profile (32cm wide) of 'Madeira very distant' and a biggish sketch of a 'Brig'. A more decorative coastal profile of 'Pico Ruiro or Madeira Island W 30 miles' is laid down diagonally opposite Borrer's written 'Remarks Island of Tristan De Chuna' which describes the inhabitants of the island, William Glass, 'the Governor' and his extensive family, George Peril, and the island's economy: 'potatoes are cultivated in large quantities and are exchanged for Bread to the American Whalers. Very few Ships Whalers excepted touch here. This is the Wellington's 3rd visit.' The log itself extends over 112 pages with additional blanks to the rear, beginning on August 18th 1839 to Monday 10th December when the ship arrived in Madras and back to Gravesend for May 2nd 1840. Borrer concludes his log with a list of Fishes seen, sightings of Land and Birds. In addition to the double-sided leaf of signals there are 33 drawings laid down next to the relevant text with a single image of a mirage at sea laid in loosely. HISTORY: Serving under Captain James Liddle (recorded by Borrer as hailing from Bodmin in Cornwall) Borrer proves an informative writer within the strict conventions allowed him - perhaps of most interest are his drawings. Borrer who would in due course inherit his father William Borrer's family seat, Portslade Manor in Sussex, offers a fascinating sequence of vignettes that bring his voyage to life. The large coastal profile of Madeira is particularly well-worked, with images of other ships including The Perseverance; a 3 vessel vignette (10.5x5.5cm) of 'Wellington - Minerva [the convict vessel] Hopeful - Main Royal yard carried away', an image of the Wellington in high seas - 'Strong N.E. Gales and squally with much Rain', and a 'squall off Madagascar' complete with lightning over the ship - all inset images. Borrer's coastal profiles include the Island of Palma, Tristan Da Cunha, Ligullas Point and Cape Hanglip, St Helena and Ascension. While anchored at the Cape of Good Hope Borrer made an image of 'Several Whalers in harbour both English and American one the London from New Bedford which we spoke on our outward passage burning oil' in addition to a sketch of a damaged mast and a doctor on board ship. Most characterful is his miniature off the Cape of Good Hope illustrating his description of how they 'Set Gaff Topsail lowered one of he Quarter Boats for the Passengers and Captain to shoot the Albatross and several other Birds.' Altogether an intriguing document. Please contact Christian White Rare Books Ltd for more information or images of this item.
