privately published, Douglas, Isle of Man, 1972. First Edition. Softcover (Saddle-stapled). Very Good Condition/No Dust Jacket. Booklet “I dedicate this piece of doggerel - written in bed after an accident - in gratitude to the Staff of Noble's (Lo.M.) Hospital, who with patience and yet without the least dereliction of duty, made it possible for me to scribble these words - even if sometimes in disagreement with opinions expressed. encouraged by Evan Shipman, who once told Hemingway: ‘What we want is a lot more unambitious writers and unpublished poems,Â’ without - as is obvious - any professional skill, I embarked on this particular therapy. The poem is, of course, entirely fictitious, especially letters from the Queen and any official views, pretended or implied. All persons described are completely imaginary, but most controversial opinions expressed are firmly held by myself and many others. Yet 1 must, at the same time, emphatically state that this… Leer más

Times Press Ltd./Longbooks, Douglas, Isle of Man, 1970. First Edition. Softcover. Fair Condition. This Island, known officially to the English as the Isle of Man, has had many differing designations in the course of its long history and the one in official and general use today is surely the most ridiculous of the lot, taken at its apparent meaning in the English language - especially as women predominate over men in its population. There has recently been some controversy over it, and a claim that by adding a second "n" to Man the difficulty might be solved, but public opinion seemed to be that this minor change would involve a lot of trouble which was hardly worth while, so the spelling was left optional. Manx people themselves have a simpler way out of the difficulty; they call it in Manx Gaelic, Ellan Vannin. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. 99 pages. Binding is tight, covers and spine fully intact. no Dust Jacket as published.. Black titles… Leer más

Island Development Co. Ltd, Douglas, Isle of Man, undated. First Edition. Softcover (Saddle-stapled). Near Fine Condition. Booklet no date but circa 1970's; Times (The Isle of Man Times) Monographs Series 1 No. 1. The staccato cough of racing engines that was the birth-cry six decades ago of the international-famous T.T. was also the roaring acceptance of a challenge... A challenge to men. And a challenge to machines. It was a challenge to make two wheels go faster; a challenge to human skill and ingenuity to make machines safer and more reliable. It was not an easy task, considering the difficulties and obstacles that faced those pioneers of yesterday in their long leather coats and rubber ponchos. But they did it. They accepted the challenge. And over the years, one by one, the man-made barriers dissolved before them. Now, all these years later, we salute those who made it all possible, and all the many people since who in countless ways nurtured the T.T., cared for it, 'and helped… Leer más

Times Press Ltd./Longbooks, Douglas, Isle of Man, 1965. First Edition. Softcover. Very Good Condition. This brief history is based primarily on a summary of the Scout Movement in the Isle of Man by the late Mr. W. A. Fyffe M.B.E., (which appeared in the Cunningham House Handbook, 1955-56) but also on unique records of the 1st Douglas Group, which contain much information in the form of press cuttings, weekly reports and orders of the Group and often of other Groups, of the earliest days before the first world war. Further information was obtained from a book of cuttings supplied by Mr. Norman Cannell of Ramsey, together with his personal reminiscences; for he was himself a pioneer Boy Scout, and served continuously thereafter as A.S.M., S.M., and District S.M. until 1939. For more recent years the main source is the Cunningham House Bulletin, which has been published regularly since the Autumn of 1944. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. 87 pages. Binding is… Leer más

Trustees of King William's College, Douglas, Isle of Man, 1930. First Edition. Softcover (Side-stapled). Very Good Condition. b/w. frontis. illustration of King William's College. This little book will fill a long felt want. It is a curious fact that, apart from the ordinary registers and statistics, no attempt has heretofore been made to record the circumstances attending the foundation and the progress of King WilliamÂ’s College. The fact is the more curious in view of the very prominent influence which the School has had, and still has, in the scheme of Education 1n the Isle of Man, and of its high standing in England. Canon OwenÂ’s timely researches have brought to light, and show in proper perspective, the close relationship of the College to the progress of Education here, and make clear the very important place which the only Public School must occupy in the whole sphere of Insular development. The book, however, does more than this. While recalling in… Leer más

Scolar Press Ltd, Menston, 1969. Reprint (Facsimile Edition). Hardcover. Near Fine Condition/No Dust Jacket. The 1969 facsimile reprint of the 1835 first edition originally printed & published for the author by J. Quiggan of North Quay, Douglas, Isle of Man; The following Vocabulary of the Manks language has been compiled with considerable labour and assiduity. It is designed to facilitate the attainment of that ancient language, and to furnish the reader not only with a Variety of vocables, idiomatic phrases, and proverbial expressions, but also the outlines of a Manks Grammar. That a language so venerable for its antiquity and so estimable on many accounts should be so generally neglected, is much to be lamented. The consequence of this neglect has been, that numerous corruptions have crept into the dialect in general use, and so many anglicisms been adopted, that the Manks is now seldom spoken or written in its original purity. Despised and neglected, however, as the language appears to be… Leer más
