Victor Gollancz, London, 1965 176 pages. 14 x 22 cm. With typed letter, dated 19th March, 1965, signed in ink by the author. It was sent along with this particular copy of the book, addressed to Lady Dobell, on behalf of Mildred Wasson. Wasson wrote 6 popular romantic novels from 1926-40. Lady Elizabeth Dobell (1878-1972) Elizabeth Anne Campbell (née Meyrick Bankes) married Major Charles Dobell in 1908, and travelled widely with him during his distinguished military career. They were avid collectors of jewellery, oriental rugs and stamps. Evelyn Acworth's book, The New Matriarchy, surveys the legal status of women throughout recorded Western history, and she observed that "It is not fortuitous that so many of the great leaders of the Philanthropic Movement of the [Nineteenth] century were women.". Signed by Author(s). 1st Edition. Hardcover. Very Good/Good.

Scott, Ady & Company, "East London Observer 48, Whitechapel Road, E., 1915 155 x 145.16 p. Grey boards.Title offset, Light foxing. Founded for relief of poor of West Ham. Held by only 5 COPAC/WorldCat member libraries worldwide. Nicholas Avenon (d. 1599), merchant tailor of London, conveyed to 12 trustees a 6 a. marsh, Withering's mead. On his death the income from this land provided 24 poor persons with a penny loaf each every Sunday, any more going to an annual sermon preached in the parish church. The trustees, all laymen, were empowered to renew the trust, but by 1834 it had long lapsed and the charity was controlled by the vicar. The land, at Middle marsh, in Plaistow, was then let for £21, and loaves were being distributed among inmates of alms-houses. Avenon's charity was included but later questioned, as a Distributive Charity, in the scheme of 1870. But in 1879 the Charity Commissioners ruled that the central charity board should govern it. The income from…

Florian Weis aus Hamburg, 1998 290 x 210 x 60. (1), 514, (2)p. Maroon card covers with black cloth spine (no lettering). German text on recto only throughout. Colour full-page frontispiece.This is an original doctorate dissertation that lay the foundations for being published as a book the following year by Hamburg, VSA. The doctorate was supervised by Professor Dr. Bernd-Jurgen Wendt. Labour supported the fight against National Socialism, in a cross-party manner, but pushed for welfare-egalitarian reforms during the war as well as binding international peace goals. The Second World War was also a time for think tanks in the Labour Party. "Planning" was the keyword, nationally and internationally. The study of Florian Weis deals with these plans on the political left. "Think tanks" are considered significant today - especially in American politics and at international level - because they believe that they can analyse global trends and set long-term political accents.
