Building upon classical methods from pioneers in the field, the author provides an indispensable resource for teachers and parents alike to assist children as they develop their language skills.

Folio (21.5 cm wide x 31.5 cm high). 242 pages of an alphabetized Ledger of which 48 pages are full of manuscript-entries and numerous other pages have been used to tip-in letters which Roberts received from clients. With numerous further letters, postcards loosely inserted. Original Hardcover. Binding in rough but still firm condition with stronger signs of external wear. Fantastic example of a Day-to-Day Order-Book of an irish Traditional Boat Builder, active in the war-years of 1939 and 1940. Captain R.E. Roberts Boat-building Business, being a direct relative of R.R.Roberts ("The Sirius"), is a great example of traditional succession in irish craftsmanship. The Day-book gives us insight into the wishes of clients, pricing, quotes and reason of orders and how on the one hand irish Traditional Boat-Building was revered abroad and also greatly supported and sought after by the local irish population. Roberts' Boat-Building-company also had contracts from overseas and the correspondence reflects the hard times and imminent outbreak of war, which plays a role in the worries of Robert's clients and must have had an enormous impact on his company. Client W.R.ffrench Mullen speaks in a letter from April 15th, 1939 of the fear of not being able to come and meet his boatbuilder: "I am (unless Europe boils up before in the next forty-eight hours) coming over on about a fortnights leave, leaving London Saturday next." In another letter from May 2nd, 1939, ffrench Mullen hopes "the boat is progressing well" and that the company of D.O'Brien Corkery & Co. can deliver it in their lorry to Kenmare. Roberts notes about this client in his day-book an important message to one of his builders: "My client says he knows nothing about sailing - would you suggest that the area of Sails be in the Small Side for Safety - the boat is for use on the Kenmare River". Roberts notes about another client, Mrs. Howell of Fountaintown, who ordered a 11ft boat for children on Sunday 4-9-38 for Easter 1939 - Quoted 22 per ft = £12 / Roberts notes about "Miss Hill from Monkstown (daughter of Lt.Hill Architect) ordered 7-1-39 Centre Board Boat, Spirit Sail (brown), oars, rudder, Name on transome "YOLDASH", varnished top sides painted underneath - agreed price £16 - To be ready for Easter Holidays - Took Boat away 7-4-39 - pleased". / More details on other orders below. Further interesting orders of Boats, correspondence and details in manuscript-drafts about his clients by Roberts include: 1. Correspondence from P.O'Keefe, Ardnagreine, Bantry, County Cork to Captain R.E. Roberts, "Simla", Passage West, County Cork - [P.O'Keefe was Managing Director of G.W.Biggs & Co. Ltd. - Corn Millers, Merchants and Manufacturers in Bantry, County Cork] The O'Keefe correspondence includes three letters (two MLS (Manuscript Letter signed) and one typed letter) between the 25th of January, 1939 and the 31st of March, 1939. Roberts notes his draft-answer on one of the letters regarding an inquiry by O'Keefe for Roberts' 8-foot Dinghy. The drafts in the Day-book are of particular interest because Roberts gets into detail in his answering letter from January 30th, 1939: "I note you are thinking of getting a punt specially built - to fit upside down on Cabin with moveable thurant to allow for Skylight - I appreciate your difficulty regarding obtaining height of boom until Mast is stepped - would it not be possible to get this from the mark of deck on Mast from the wedges or Canvas Collar to gooseneck. Since seeing you I have got three orders for centre board Sailing Boats - two for this harbour & one for Sneem ." 2. Postcard - Order from J.Kelleher, Ringabella, Carrigaline: "Have measured the boat mentioned to you about a week ago & find it is 10 ft. long. The same will do now I expect to get a good serviceable boat. Please let me know when ready. I would like to get it soon but if you can't procure the best of timber at once, I will wait until then - J.Kelleher" (c.1939). 3. Letter from M. O'Connor - Rossdohan, Tahilla, Killarney, County Kerry - Monday 10th, 1938: "Dear Sir, Pardon my delay in writing - I saw Mrs. Prettymans punt she is very nice, but is too fine for me. I want a strong built smooth sided seaworthy boat, best timber, galvanises fastening. If this do[sic] not convey sufficient knowledge you can suggest a boat you think would suit and state price roughly." The list goes on and on and includes interesting orders from other clients. The Day-Book includes notes on proposed repairs on Wolfe's Yacht "Marion" (purchased from W.Johnson in Kinsale) Sprache: english.

Hardcover. Condition: Good. Oppikofer / 1894 - 1915 circa / (Texas) [Surveyor's manuscript notebooks: Trinity River Survey, below Dallas to Magnolia, locks & dams, sketch maps, cross sections, railroad bridges] (Safe 3, 107488) 12mo. Six volumes. Contemporary sheep bound surveyor's notebooks (one stamped inside front cover: Clarke & Courts, Blank Book Manufacturers, Galveston). Bindings rubbed, with scuffing to leather. The 1894-95 volume with broken hinges. Internally clean. Texas Surveyor's Manuscript Notebooks with Sketches Six volumes of field notebooks with surveyor's sketch maps, cross sections, bridges, for a Trinity River Survey some ten miles below Dallas. The survey was apparently related to ongoing efforts to improve Trinity River navigation in the 1890s, specifically to open up a harbor connection for transporting cotton. Trinity River Canalization Projects The Trinity River Navigation Company was established in 1891 to promote the cause of navigation on the Trinity. The company constructed a temporary dam thirteen miles south of Dallas at McCommas Bluff. The company's efforts helped achieve the River and Harbor Act of June 13, 1902 which appropriated $125,000 for the construction of locks and dams and for the removal of obstructions to navigation. WWII interrupted the work, The debate over a proposed channelization of the river continued until 1973, when a bond proposal that would turn the Trinity into a barge canal connecting Dallas with the Gulf of Mexico was defeated by voters in the counties along the river. Yet after 1921, not one dollar of federal funds was spent on any project solely designed to canalize the Trinity. Millions were spent on the river, but these projects were designed primarily for flood control with navigation of secondary importance. Even today, navigation of the Trinity is still discussed, but over 150 years after the first steamboat made the trip upstream to Dallas, the Trinity is very much the same river today as it was then - Mitchell. The notebooks almost certainly relate to the above efforts, either funded by a private company or contracted by the government. They include sketches and details of some of the fourteen bridges that crossed Trinity between Dallas and Magnolia, as well as the series of locks and dams. F. Oppikofer. Trinity River Survey. F.

Two vols. Oblong folio. 1st. 13.25 x 10.25 in.; 12.25 x 10 in. [80; 80 pp (unpaginated)], both with thick black paper stock, with 359 tipped-in photos, ranging in size from 1.75 x 2 in. up to 8 x 10 in, many of them clearly marked in pencil, and/or ink on versos, some with signatures in lower white margin a images, nearly all on glossy photo stock (a couple hand-coloured, many with minor creasing, some damage to corners, a couple with tears along the upper fore-edge), still nearly all of the images are still quite clear and distinct; 4 leaf typescript on onion paper, 24.5 x 36 in. blueprint folded for radio receiving station; 6 different course certifications for Peterson in handling oil field and natural gas pumping equipment. First album is contemporary ribbed cloth post-binder, tied at gutter margin with black silk cord (some bumping, wear, bumping to corners, fraying); second padded leather album, rounded corners gilt lettering front cover, slots in leaves for postcards (minor bumping head & foot of spine, edgewear); still VG- set. These remarkable photo albums furnish an indispensable visual record of the history of American aviation just after World War I at Kelly Field, TX, and Chanute Field, IL. Almond Orwald Peterson (1901-1977), son of Norwegian immigrants, was born in Twin Valley, MN, moved with his family later to Billings and Scranton, ND, enlisted in the Army after High School, trained as a radio operator, and airplane mechanic, worked as a mechanic after his service in North Dakota, and then Texas, and finally worked in the oil fields surrounding Denver City, TX. Kelly Field in Texas was one of the Army Air Service's primary fields for training and deploying pilots during World War I. After the massive demobilization at the end of the War, the Kelly Field and Chanute Field in Illinois served as essential training grounds for Army pilots to exhibit their skills, holding air races, balloon races, and training technicians. All technical schools were joined with the mechanics school at Chanute Field in 1922, and were re-designated the Air Corps Technical School by 1924. These excellent photographs not only include detailed shots of the barracks, the radio towers, the equipment rooms, servicemen, and more, but also encompass a vast array of the aircraft which flew in and out of these fields, along with many aerial shots. There are photos of German Fokker triplanes, French Spads, Curtiss DH-4s, many of the Barling Bomber, the Witteman-Lewis XNBL-1, an experimental long-range three-wing strategic bomber which proved massively unwieldy because it was too underpowered with its six engines, a colour-tinted image of the USS Los Angeles Zeppelin, and several other lighter-than-air balloons, and airships as well. In addition, there are many photographs of plane crashes showing the high attrition and danger of flying during the 1920s, often in World War I surplus aircraft, and even a few images of funerals and caskets for lost comrades.
