Add to basketPaperback. Condition: Good. First edition. An excerpt from the April 1946 journal of the Institution of Civil Engineers regarding irrigation and discharges of the White Nile and Nene. A fascinating piece of history from the Anglo-Egyptian Sudan condominium with interesting provenance. This report has some interesting provenance…as it is from the library of Frederic Newhouse (1883-1969), sometime inspector-general of Egyptian irrigation in the Sudan. With his inscription to the front wrap. A letter from the author is inserted to the rear, see further details below. This paper has been taken from the wider journal and bound individually in brown paper wraps. It is paper no. 5528 read on 19.2.46 and is from the I.C.E journal no 6 of 1945/6, April 1946. The Institution was the first professional engineering body and was formed during the late eighteenth/early nineteenth centuries. The ICE have issued numerous works over the years. With several in-text diagrams, photographs and a folding plate. There is a pocket to the rear wrap which has several letters inserted. The first letter is from Newhouse to the Institution of Civil Engineers regarding the comments and figures of one J W Burns. Burns made comments regarding this paper at an I.C.E meeting and Newhouse believes the words to be 'full of mis-statements of fact', which acquire a certain authority by being printed in the proceedings of the I.C.E.' Newhouse had written this letter as Burns' comments are printed to the rear of this work. The I.C.E responded to Newhouse's letter saying that it is not practice 'to accept a contribution to the written discussion upon a paper from a speaker who has already contributed to the oral discussion at a meeting'. Newhouse's prior comments are also published to this same section. The Secretary of the I.C.E suggests that the authors of this work should reply to Mr Burns' comments. The next letter is from Newhouse to the author of this report, R H Wileman whereby he mentions the statements made by Burns that are 'not tenable'. The final letter to this collection is from Wileman to Newhouse, thanking him for his correspondence and noting that he shall ensure a correction is printed. Wileman confesses to Newhouse that 'I was so bored by Burns' mass of figures at the meeting that I did not even trouble to examine the proof of his oral contribution.'. Pages 306-end have printed discussion regarding this report by Wileman and Clark, and Newhouse makes several contributions that are printed. Next to the portion of J W Burns' comments, Newhouse has repeatedly written 'Wrong' to the margin. This work compares the discharges of River Basins in Sudan and Britain. Clark and Wileman use the White Nile and the Nene as examples. A detailed report regarding irrigation. In brown paper wraps. Externally, smart. A few handling marks to wraps, which have tape to the edges of the rear wrap. Prior owner's inscription to the front wrap, F Newhouse. Internally, generally firmly bound. Two leaves are detached but present. Tape to the first leaf from the home-made paper wrap binding. Pages are bright and clean. Good. None (illustrator). signed by author. book.

Contact seller4-star sellerCondition: Fine in fine slipcase. 2015 Long Beach, 1st edn, 330pp, photos in color, ltd to 1000 copies, numbered, signed, slipcased copies. Between the Congo River and the White Nile, he takes us to those remote corners of the old Belgian Congo (later Zaire and now DRC), Gabon, Sudan, Uganda, Ubangi-Shari (C.A.R.), and, although… not in the same geographical area as the others, Somalia where he hunted in Oltre Giuba, which spreads out from the Juba River to Somalia's border with Kenya. These countries cover the heart of Africa, and this vast area truly was a paradise for hunters and explorers until the 1980s. Unfortunately, times have changed radically from when Tony first began to hunt in Africa in the 1950s. Political problems and rampant, nonstop poaching are the norm these days. When the "Winds of Change" took away everything, only malignant forces, the forces for evil, were left: poaching and the destruction of all wildlife and their habitat, political turbulence, government irresponsibility, corruption, and insecurity on all levels. Tony has had a lifetime of hunting experiences since he wet his feet for the first time in the Congo and White Nile Rivers, but his memories are still very much alive. He remembers everything as if it had happened yesterday. In 1959 southern Sudan had marvelous hunting, for there were amazing quantities of wild animals even on the outskirts of Juba, the capital. One needed only to cross the White Nile from the left to the right bank, which Tony did by using a ferry called the Atbara. On taking the highway north to Mongalla, Tony saw hartebeests and oribis so abundant he thought them to be a plague. Another of Tony's favorite places was the Karpeto district, which is halfway between Juba and Nimule on the border with Uganda and on the left bank of the White Nile. He arrived there in time to see great herds of elephants covering entire plains that looked in the distance like one massive movement of elephants. Without exaggeration, he saw hordes of more than five hundred elephants, and the biggest one that he hunted there was an old male whose long and beautiful tusks weighed 104 and 97 pounds each (47 and 44 kilos).
