Cowan (p 27, referring to the German edition): "Baegert, a Jesuit missionary, resided for 18 years in California. perhaps no man ever wrote an impersonal book with more bitterness of heart. According to his accounts the country was absolutely unfitted for habitation; it was inhabited by wild and ferocious beasts; peopled by inhospitable and cruel savages; water was unfit for use; wood was scarce; and the soil would not sustain life."

Description:
Softcover. Fine. Four-page booklet (6.25" x 3.5") advertising a lecture by a Kansas City-based Armenian-American who published several works on the subject of "Americanization." Baghdigian asks his audience to consider America's "spiritual mission" and "glorious destiny" and to remind themselves and others to appreciate freedom. Excerpts from press notices praise the lecture for being "filled with patriotism and love for his adopted country" and making "anyone who hears him have a finer conception of the word freedom and a fonder pride in the great country we are privileged to live in." The booklet is undated but states that Baghdigian is (or was) a lecturer for the Ridpath Homer Chautauqua in 1921-22. .

Ottawa: F.A. Acland, Printer to the King's Excellent Majesty, 1929. First Edition. Softcover. Very good. Issued as Bulletin No. 61, Anthropological Series No. 12. 275 pp, including 33 b/w plates. Briefly inscribed by Barbeau on the title page. Light rippling to the first ca. 25 pages, otherwise very good. From the Preface: "the following description and analysis of totem poles is restricted to one of the several nations of the North West Coast that are known to have practised the art of carving and erecting tall wooden memorials to their dead. Yet the scope of our study is implicitly wider, since the art of the Gitksan is merely a local variation upon a theme that is, in geography and history, more comprehensive. Our conclusions and comparisons for this reason are bound to shed some light on the growth and expansion of this aboriginal art on the whole North West Coast, and to invite the readers' attention to the problem of diffusion of culture all around the rim of the Pacific ocean.

Peter Heywood to his sister; and the discovery of John Adams and the Bounty descendants on Pitcairn Island." O'Reilly & Reitman 573.

"Barrow accompanied Lord Macartney's mission to the court of China in 1792 as his private secretary, and the present account...is one of the best illustrated English travels on China. The eight plates are from drawings by William Alexander, who also accompanied the embassy and later published his own work. The strict exclusion of Europeans by the Chinese emperors had left China very much terra incognita to the western world well into the nineteenth century. Barrow was an excellent observer, and the text contains a number of descriptions and illustrations of Chinese…
