IV / 1959; Suppl. VI / 1961; Suppl. VII / 1962; Suppl. VIII / 1963; Suppl. IX / 1964 und Suppl. X / 1965) (ohne 1960) // Sehr zahlreiche Abbildungen von chinesischen Briefmarken. - The Chinese Postal Service, inaugurated on the 7th Day, 2nd Moon of the 22nd Year of Emperor Kuang Hsu (1896) in the Ching Dynasty, will complete its sixtieth year of service on March 20, 1956. In 1947, by an order of the Ministry of Communications, the 20th of March was designated as the Postal Commemoration Day, the first of which was observed in 1948, and the ninth is due this year. The present Chinese Postal Service owes its origin to the Tientsin Treaty signed in the 8th year of Emperor Hsien Feng (1858), under which the then Manchu government assumed the responsibility for the transit of official correspondence to and from the various foreign legations. For the implementation of this Treaty, the Yamen in charge of foreign affairs directed the In-pector-General of Customs to organize a postal service, which was then placed under his concurrent charge for thirty-eight years, before a separate Postal Administration came into being. The 60th anniversary of the Postal Service to be celebrated this year is to count from the date of jts inauguration as a separate administration, for, if counting from the very inception of the service, it almost comes to a centenary. During the past century, the world witnessed many changes and revolutions, and in our country the transitions were even more unprecedented. It may be recalled that the Chinese Postal Administration was inaugurated at a time soon after China's defeat in the war of 1894-5 with Japan, when our country was almost c.i the verge of being overwhelmed by the growing influence of foreign powers. Fortunately it was due to Dr. Sun Yat-sen, founder of the Republic of China, and his revolutionary movement that China was saved from the menace of partition. Had there not been continual turmoils - the struggles among war-lords, the foreign aggressions, and the Communist disturbances - in the following forty odd years, China could have, through years of wealth accumulation and cultural expansion, long realized her national reconstruction in accordance with the programme laid down in Dr. Sun's Three Principles of the People, and become by herself a prosperous country and a stabilizing factor among the world nations. However, for no less than 60 years, our country has been in the throes of continual internal unrest and foreign aggressions. .

Hardcover. Condition: Near fine. First. A FINE BERNARD MIDDLETON BINDING. First edition. London: Printed for the author, by C. Stower; Published by Sherwood, Neely and Jones; J. Hatchard and J. Richardson; 1811[12]. Six parts in one volume. Pot folio (11 7/8" x 9 1/4", 303mm x 237mm). [Full collation available.] With a hand-colored aquatint frontispiece, hand-colored engraved headpiece to the dedication and 17 hand-colored engraved plates. Bound in modern red straight-grained morocco (by Bernard Middleton in August 2003, signed by him in pencil on the lower edge of the recto of the final end-paper). On the boards, an elaborate gilt and black border with leaves and scrollwork. On the spine, five pairs of raised bands with a gilt roll. Between each pair, a thick gilt fillet. In the panels, a gilt floral ornament. Title gilt to black morocco in the second panel. Gilt florals to the head and tail. Gilt roll to the edges of the boards. Gilt inside dentelle. Marbled end-papers. All edges of the text-block gilt. General toning and occasional foxing to the text-block. Some plates more heavily foxed, and offsetting. Small marginal closed tears on the title-page and plate 17. Rich hand-coloring and good margins, with several preserved lower deckles. William Jowett Titford (1784-1823) was born in Jamaica and traversed the Atlantic several times, traveling through the northeastern states and collecting specimens all the while. For a time, he enrolled at Columbia to study botany with David Hosack, who established the first public botanical garden in the United States. The Sketches -- clearly preparatory for a magnum opus -- was his only published work. Issued in six parts between 1811 and 1812 (title-pages exist with 1812 imprints; the present item states 1811), the text and drawings for the plates are entirely Titford's. It is clear that his talent, extinguished before he reached 40 (en route to New York; he was buried at sea), was substantial and would only have grown. Numbered among the subscribers are the Prince Regent and the King of France (Louis XVIII), so his prospects were certainly strong. The book qua printed object is something of a puzzle. Ian MacPhail's classic 1964 article on the Sketches notes that the cataloguer "is likely to throw up his hands in despair," and that "of the eight copies of the work that I have seen, the contents of no two are bound in the same way" (117). Following along his collation, it does not seem that anything in particular is lacking from the present copy, though it is frankly hard to tell. That said, the complexity of the makeup of the book reflects its part-issue but also the collaboration of several printers. The superb binding was carried out by Bernard Middleton -- The Great Man, for whom the commonest epithets are "legendary" and "incomparable" -- who died in 2019. He was the son of a binder who worked at the British Museum and Sangorski, and himself managed Zaehnsdorf's before beginning his own workshop, where he not only bound but repaired. Indeed, he wrote the standard works on both subjects: A History of English Craft Bookbinding Technique (1963) and The Restoration of Leather Bindings (1972). His death in 2019 was a great loss for the whole tribe of bibliomanes, and his work is now more precious than ever.
