Boy's Own Annual Volume 37 1914-15
London: B.O.P. 1915
Decorative Cloth. No Jacket. 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall. This is one of a collection of eight Boy's Own Annuals carried to Canada from England as "settler's effects" in the early 1900's. Like many well -loved childrens' books each of the Annuals has seen its fair share of wear and tear over the hundred years of its life, although each is essentially intact and can be put in collectible condition. B . O.P was an English boy's magazine first issued on January 18, 1879, as the "Boy's Own Paper," a 16 page weekly publication and subsequently published as an Annual. This copy has bevelled edged purpl e cloth covers, featuring embossed toboggan riders in a Canadian winter scene on a background of snow and mountains in colours of purple, gold and grey with gilt and black titles. The spine is similar ly decorated. The binding hinges have been repaired with grey passe-partout tape which is also attached to the binding corners. Heavy brown paper tape has been used to repair the inner hinges. The cov er has separated with repairable damage to the decorated endpaper. Spine extremities are frayed and worn. The title page and the "Contents" section are loose; the book is therefore listed "as is" and ha s not been fully collated. However, fold-outs appear intact including a magnificent frameable quality multi-page display of "A British Battleship" in cross-section with vignettes of nine notable wa rsh ips of the day. and a a second I premier5-wquality fold-out illustrating the "Hoods" and academic degrees of the Universities of Britain and Ireland.; numerous coloured and black and white illustr atio ns. All in fairly good condition.

Like many well -loved childrens' books each of the Annuals has seen its fair share of wear and tear over the hundred years of its life, although each is essentially intact and can be put in collectible condition. B . O.P was an English boy's magazine first issued on January 18, 1879, as the, "Boy's Own Paper," a 16 page weekly publication and subsequently published as an Annual. This copy has bevelled edged blue c loth covers, featuring embossed mounted knight with dog on a background of a mediaeval castle in colours of orange, grey, gilt and black and with gilt titles. Spine similarly decorated. The binding hi nges have been repaired with black passe-partout and heavy brown paper tape; the spine extremities are frayed and worn; the book is therefore listed "as is" and has not been fully collated. Howeve r, f old-outs appear intact including an impressive multi-page display of "Ribbons of British and Foreign Orders of Chivalry (including Afghanistan !) and a handsome frontispiece of King Edward VII; n umero us coloured and black and white illustrations. In fairly good condition.

The Canadian Patent Office Record Vol. XXXVIII 1910

549 pages; the binding is leather spine & corners on buckram covered boards with bright gilt titles the circulation docket and library index mark have been removed. The front flyleaf is laid in and the inner front hinge beginning to seoerate. There are pencilled numbers beside each patent application for reference by the hardworking government clerks...

Silver and William Goldie of Huntsville, while No. 123, 467 is an Electric Signalling System (Système de signaux électriques) from Joseph P. Sauer of Wheaton, Illinois on the 25th of January 1910], this publication contains patent applications from all over the wolrd - a monthly periodical containing current articles from foreign scientific papers chosen for their relevence to Canadian inventors, and also recording all inventions, with official diagrams, patented at Ottawa during the preceding month. Thus it provided an official government record for patent registration reference, as well as a periodical to better inform would-be inventors. Publication closely followed a new 1872 Patent Act which had newly established patent protection in Canada to foreign inventors. The publication is fully indexed to include 'engravings' [patent record diagrams] and 'reading matter'. The articles are illustrated with detailed steel engraved diagrams well-reproduced to illustrate complex machinery, but also picture-quality engravings of notable buildings and public works. The paper is of conventional periodical-quality (pulp) paper for the day but is largely in 'as issued' condition since this combined volume has been shelved and rarely opened for over a hundred years. Images available on request.
