Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. Paper wrappers detached. Otherwise in very good condition. Includes a major article on Alfred Dreyfus, including photographs and caricatures. Also an unrelated article by Mark Twain, which demonstrates, by his own words, that he was an anti-Semite. Founded and edited by the great Victorian reform journalist William Thomas Stead, *The Review of Reviews* was the first true tabloid magazine that reached a global audience. A pioneering investigative journalist and feminist, Stead was the first editor to employ female journalists, and accordingly there are many articles from both years that profile the the leading suffragists of the day. Like Rupert Murdoch, he wielded considerable political influence, and was at the time the best known Englishman who went down in the Titanic. xxii [2], 224-326 [=105 ].…

Hardcover. Condition: Good. First Edition. "Cecil Rhodes (1853 - 1902) was an English mining magnate and politician in southern Africa who served as Prime Minister of the Cape Colony from 1890 to 1896. He and his British South Africa Company founded the southern African territory of Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe and Zambia), which the company named after him in 1895. He also established the Rhodes Scholarship, which is funded by his estate. He entered the diamond trade at Kimberley in 1871 and, with funding from Rothschild & Co, began to systematically buy out and consolidate diamond mines, eventually gaining a near-complete monopoly of the world diamond market. His diamond company De Beers, formed in 1888, retains its prominence into the 21st century." - Wikipedia. Latter day conspiracy researchers highly value this work as they claim it contributed to the onset of WWI and that Rhodes, Stead and Lord Milner designed concentric rings of organizations intended to merge Britain with the U.S. to rule the world. On page ix of The Anglo-American Establishment, Carroll Quigley wrote "The Rhodes Scholarships, established by the terms of Cecil Rhode's seventh will, are known to everyone. What is not so widely known is that Rhodes in five previous wills left his fortune to form a secret society, which was to devote itself to the preservation and expansion of the British Empire. And what does not seem to be known to anyone is that this secret society continues to exist to this day. This group is, as I shall show, one of the most important historical facts of the twentieth century." x, 198 glossy pages. Index. Generously illustrated with black and white photos including tissue-protected black and white frontispiece portrait of Rhodes. Contents clean, bright, tight and unmarked. Moderate toning to endpapers. Average wear to original green cloth lettered and decorated in white upon front board and lettered in gilt upon backstrip. No dust jacket, presumably as issued.

Also a partial record of their actions during ten days of their existence. By their latest victim. (Abridged). Cover title: Helen's Babies. By their latest victim.Melbourne : "Review of Reviews" Office, [c.1900]. Series: The Masterpiece Library. Popular 2d. Novels Series,vol. viii, no. 31. "Australasian edition". Octavo (190 x 130 mm), original pictorial wrappers, pp 60, [2], includes advertisements for Melbourne businesses; a fine copy. The American writer John Habberton (1842-1921) was not acknowledged as the author of the popular children's book Helen's babiesuntil 1903, even though the story had first been published in Boston in 1876. The present edition is an abridged version, published in Melbourne around 1900 in a cheap, fragile format. This copy is therefore a rare survivor. The only example of this edition recorded in Australian collections is held in the National Library of Australia. An unabridged version was published in Melbourne by George Robertson in 1877 (State Library of Victoria); and Melbourne bookseller E.W. Cole produced an illustrated edition around 1900 (State Library of New South Wales; University of Southern Queensland Library; Australian Catholic University Library). …
