The Mines: What They Mean to The Farmer (Bound in English and Afrikaans)

Description: The Mines: What They Mean to the Farmer (Die Myne: Wat hulle vir Die Boer Beteken) Johannesburg: Hortors Limited Publishers, July, 1923 Bound tête-bêche in English and Afrikaans Condition: Good plus Normal 0 false false false EN-CA JA X-NONE Here we offer a 1923 pamphlet concerning gold mining in South Africa. This pamphlet bound tête-bêche in English and Afrikaans is in good plus condition. The wire stitched, pale pink wraps covers are complete and free of tears and loss, with some light overall soiling and one light crease to the front, lower corner. Both binding staples are intact with no rust. This copy is ex-library with a stamp reading “CALIFORNIA STATE LIBRARY DOCUMENTS DEPT” and a penciled notation “cop. 1” on the front cover. Additionally, the word “mines” on the lower front cover of the English-language side has been underlined in pencil. The contents are bright, clean, and free of toning, spotting, and marking. This fragile African pamphlet is scarce with only four copies found in WorldCat. The 1886 discovery of gold in South Africa was a turning point for the Transvaal on such a scale that “from 1886 the story of South Africa is the story of gold.” (De Kiewiet, A History of South Africa) This pamphlet, which aims to tell farmers why they should oppose taxation on mines, details the extent to which this was still true in 1923. “There is nothing to take the place of the mines at present or for many years to come. Let the farmer look at the position merely from the point of view of the greatest benefit to South Africa and to himself, and he will realize that in protecting the Mining Industry against the attacks of those who… desire to hamper and cripple it, he is really protecting his own livelihood and securing the promise of his future prosperity.” Ref #: 004824 CHURCHILL BOOK COLLECTOR We are Churchill Book Collector, a professional bookseller specializing in books and other published works by and about the great twentieth century statesman and acclaimed writer, Sir Winston Churchill. We offer both a singular inventory and approachable expertise. The integrity of our inventory is backed by our membership in the Antiquarian Booksellers’ Association of America (ABAA), the International League of Antiquarian Booksellers (ILAB), and the Independent Online Booksellers Association (IOBA). Churchill's official biographer, Sir Martin Gilbert, rightly called Churchill's long life "remarkable and versatile". Statesman, soldier, war correspondent, ardent social reformer, combative cold warrior, painter - Churchill was many things, but perhaps above all a master wordsmith. We’re here to help Churchill’s words find your shelves. Our extensive inventory features some of the rarest material offered – including fine first editions and inscribed copies – as well as reading copies and works about Churchill’s life and time. While we specialize in Churchill, our inventory also includes noteworthy first and collectible editions by other authors, ranging from Xenophon to T. E. Lawrence, spanning exploration and empire to twentieth century fiction. We are able to help with anything from finding individual books to assembling full collections, working closely with individual collectors to identify and accommodate their preferences and budget. We are also able to commission preservation cases and fine bindings. Please contact us if you have books to sell. We buy, and in some cases consign, fine and collectible individual items, as well as whole collections.
