JOHNSTON, R.F
        Remarks on the Province of Shantung
      Hong Kong.: Noronha., no date. [1905].. Hong Kong.: Noronha.. no date. [1905].. 34pp, appendix. Original wrappers with vertical crease where the booklet has been folded at some time. Partially removed stamp at lower edge, handwritten number upper cover, minor wear tail of spine. A very good copy. At the time of publication Reginald F. Johnston, who is probably best remembered today as the author of Twilight in the Forbidden City, was Secretary to Government, Weihaiwei. This confidential report is concerned with four aspects of the situation in Shantung (now known as Shandong Province) as observed by Johnston on his journey through the province. Johnston makes no claim that this is a detailed or comprehensive report, describing it merely as notes. His observations are nonetheless very interesting and give a good insight into the situation in the province at the time. The first section discusses the proposed Chinese emigration of indentured labour to the South African mines in the period immediately following the South African War. In this publication Johnston reports on a meeting he held with Chou Fu, Governor of Shantung, in which the Governor expressed great enthusiam for this scheme. Complications arising from this scheme are discussed. The three other sections in this report discuss The Railway System in Shantung; Trade Prospects and Commerical Routes; German Influence in Shantung. Scarce. .

There were American editions of the 1905 issue and of the 1922 re-issue" (Hughey)."Edmund Dulac's first commission came from the firm of J.M. Dent which was about to publish a new edition of the complete novels of the Brontë sisters. He was asked to provide no fewer than sixty watercolours for the whole series and was given three months to produce twelve for Jane Eyre, the first of the novels to be published. It was a great compliment for a twenty-two year old foreigner to be entrusted with something so essentially English. By painting with a Corot-like mixture of heathers and cobweb-greys, he captured the mists of the Yorkshire moors, and the often drab colours he used for his interiors, together with a heavy use of pattern in both foreground and background, conveyed what he felt was the correct claustrophobic atmosphere.The novels were published in groups, beginning in the spring of 1905, and the gist of critical opinion was that although the illustrations were not universally pleasing they were, at least, clever and ingenious, and very 'French.'"This success gave Dulac good reason to believe that he would be able to made a career in England" (White, p. 20)Hughey 5a-10a.

RUSSO-JAPANESE WAR]
        Collection of Three Official Reports Regarding the Reconnaissance and Communication Services of the 1st and 2nd Russian Manchurian Armies during the Russo-Japanese War 1904-1905: Reconnaissance Report "Strength and Organisation of the Japanese Army" (1905); Report of the Communication Services of the 2nd Manchurian Army (1906); and Original Manuscript of the Lecture about "Foot Reconnaissance" (ca. 1910s)].
      1905 - [1905, 1906, ca. 1910s]. Three documents, all Folio, housed in the original archival folder of the pre-revolutionary 4th Finnish Rifle Regiment. Folder slightly faded and worn and documents with minor tears on extremities, but overall a very good collection. 1) Mimeographed report "Strength and Organisation of the Japanese Army". 22 August 1905. [11] pp.; 2) Typewritten Report "Communication Services". [11] pp. Dated in pencil on the first page "25/7 1906"; occasional pencil marks in text. Pencil inscription in Russian on the last blank page: "For handing over to Count Kamensky from Riga"; 3) Manuscript lecture "Reconnaissance on Foot". [2 - typewritten table of contents], 35, [2 - blank] pp. Interesting collection of military archival documents uncovering the work of reconnaissance and communication of the 1st and 2nd Manchurian Armies during the Russo-Japanese War (27 January/9 February 1904 - 23 August/5 September 1905). Both armies were formed in October 1904; 1st Manchurian Army under command of General Linevich took part in the Battles of Shasho and Mukden; 2nd Manchurian Army under command of General Grippenberg took part in the Battles of Port Arthur, Shasho, Sandepu and Mukden. First document is a mimeographed copy of the report by colonel Rozanov of the reconnaissance department of the Staff of the 2nd Manchurian army. Dated 9 January 1905 O.S., the report relates to the second phase of the war, after the fall of Port Arthur on 20 December 1904/2 January 1905, when the frontline transferred to the area around Mukden. The report titled "Strength and Organisation of the Japanese Army" was specially prepared for the planned advance of the Russian army which resulted in the battle of Sandepu (12-16/25-29 January 1905). The report thoroughly analyses the positions, number and equipment of the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Japanese armies (under command of generals Kuroki, Oku, Nogi and Nozu); and gives several probable scenarios of their actions during the advance. Our copy was prepared on 22 August 1905 O.S. (a day before the end of the war) and was verified by "Shtab-rotmistr [Staff Captain of Cavalry] F. Krusenstern [?]". The second document is a "Report of the Communication Service of the Administration of the Quarter-Master of the 2nd Manchurian Army" (25 July 1906), covering the period "from the formation of the 2nd army to 20 September 1905" (with the main attention paid to the activity after 10 January 1905). The report is finishes with the "Main conclusions about the organisation and use of particular types of communication", emphasizing the importance of telegraph and telephone lines, wireless telegraph, and recommends the establishment of the special Communications Cavalry Regiment, and improvement of work of orderly officers (ordinartsy). "It is necessary, that not only senior officers and the General Staff, but all troops, regular officers and lower ranks (especially in cavalry) realise all futility of their best intentions to defeat the enemy, if there is no communication, in the mean of the complete mutual awareness of the battle order throughout the whole front". The third document is an original manuscript text of the lecture about the "Reconnaissance on foot", apparently prepared in the 1910s for the staff and reconnaissance officers. The manuscript with several inserts and corrections occupies 35 pages and is supplemented with a typewritten table of contents. The author was obviously a veteran of the Russo-Japanese war, and the lecture gives examples of work of the reconnaissance service of the 1st Manchurian Army. The lecture explains the goals and significance of military reconnaissance and gives a detailed characteristic of the reconnaissance on foot, divided into R. with the close approach to the enemy, R. from different dislocations, and R. during the battle. Separate paragraphs analyse foot reconnaissance of the Russian and Japanese armies during the war.

The result was a four-volume folio that took more than three years to print; at the time of its publication it was the largest book ever seen through the English press.
