Frontispiece and four other plates. Very good indeed in the original red cloth in unevenly faded dust-jacket with a few tears. 232pp. Cape Town, Maskew Miller, n.d. Born in Fulham, Lukin went out to South Africa to serve with Bengough's Horse, Natal Native Contingent in the Zulu War. He was one of those who assisted in bringing in the Prince Imperial's body, and was badly wounded at Ulundi. He saw no more action being invalided back to Britain, but returned to Africa and was gazetted to the CMR, serving with them in Basutoland in 1881 and as a Field Adjutant with the Bechuanaland Field Force through the Langeberg Operations 1896-7. During the Great War he first served in German South-West commanding a mixed force at the conclusion of the campaign organizing and commanding the 1st South African Infantry Brigade. He was in Egypt with this brigade and fought a brilliant desert campaign defeating Ja'far Pasha at Agagiya. The brigade then proceeded to France and took part, under Lukin's command, in the battle of the Somme, capturing Delville Wood. Lukin took command of the 9th Division in December 1916, thus retaining the brigade he had raised and trained under his orders. He commanded them at Arras in April 1917 and at Third Yrpes. "After his retirement in 1919, Lukin returned to South Africa. Strong, independent, modest, and a born leader of men, he had become one of the most popular figures in the Union." [DNB, SADNB].

Cloth. Zustand: Very Good. No Jacket. Reprint Edition. 336 pages. Pages clean and bright. Illustrated throughout. Franklin 3269 (citing 1855 edition); Solon page 101: "The pottery and porcelain of other nations having been summarily dealt with in the preliminary chapters, th exclusive attention of the writers was bestowed upon the factories of Great Britain and their productions. Accordingly, every group of English pottery received a separate treatment, each section being prefaced with a well digested historical notice. The important manufactory and the modest pot-works, the vase of costly china and the rough porringer of Staffordshire, had their history told with the same exactness and reliability . This small handbook has done more to spread the taste for English ceramics than many volumes of more ambitious pretensions." Uncommon.

41 items from the papers of the railway economist C. E. R. Sherrington [Charles Ely Rose Sherrington] (1897-1973). Sherrington was the son of the Nobel-prize winning physiologist Sir Charles Scott Sherrington (1857-1952). Having served in France with the Oxfordshire Light Infantry and the Railway Transport Establishment of the British Expeditionary Force, Sherrington was lecturer in Economics and Transportation at Cornell University from 1922 to 1924. Returning to Britain, he was Secretary of the Railway Research Service from 1924 to 1962. The RRS had been formed in 1923 and was 'supported by the main line railways and the Metropolitan'. It was devoted 'to the economic study of transport developments in foreign countries and in the dominions in relation to conditions in this country' (see Item 22 below). In 1944 Sherrington was appointed Railway Technical Adviser, SHAEF. At the start of 1929 both Sherrington and his assistant Gilbert Jocelyn Ponsonby (1904-1981) are working for the RRS while also teaching at the LSE, of which the celebrated economist Sir William Beveridge (1879-1963; ODNB) is director. CERS presents Beveridge with an ultimatum over his unsustainable workload and the inadequate conditions, and in the summer the RRS severs its ties with the LSE. Following the move from Houghton Street to Cowley Street CERS and Ponsonby are forced to choose, and the correspondence shows Sherrington leaving the LSE while Ponsonby resigns from the RRS (later becoming 'the doyen of British transport economics of that era'). The collection also contains a CV and another career item relating to Ponsonby's replacement at the RRS, Eric Dunbar Brant, and similar material relating to Charles Edwin Whitworth. Other topics covered are payments and 'privilege tickets'. The correspondence contains fourteen typed items of correspondence, the rest of the material consisting of carbon copies of letters by CERS and others, many of them initialled, and a few other documents such as CVs. Two of the original letters are by Beveridge and nine by the Chairman of the RRS Managing Committee, Robert Bell, who was the Assistant General Manager, London & North Eastern Railway, based at King's Cross Station. Among the copies are six to Beveridge and five to Bell. The material is in good overall condition, with light aging and slight wear to some items, and some rust staining from paperclips. In large envelope from the Social Science Research Council, New York, addressed to 'Dr. C. E. R. Sherrington / Byways / 20, Queens Road / Belmont, Surrey, England'. Unless otherwise stated, items are 1p, 4to. ONE: Copy TL to Bell [from CERS], 9 January 1929, on RRS letterhead, with second copy not on letterhead. 2pp, 4to. Long letter requesting 'some reorganisation', as his 'health will not stand another academic year under the present conditions', as 'the work of the Research Service has been steadily increasing and it has only been possible to keep abreast of it, togther with one's work as lecturer which necessitates frequent publication, by dint of very long hours and granting one's whole time inclusive of week-ends'. TWO: Initialled Copy TL from CERS to LSE lecturer Wilfred Tetley Stephenson (1876-1956), 9 January 1929, on RRS letterhead. Enclosing a copy of Item One. CERS discusses the 'main difficulties facing the organisation' ('accommodation and telephone service'), and possible future arrangements. THREE: TLS from Bell to CERS, 16 January 1929, on letterhead of the Chief General Manager, LNER, King's Cross. Enclosing copies of letters he has written to 'Bushrod and Tetley Stephenson' [Items Four and Five]. 'I think on the whole the discussion to-day was very useful and should go some way to clear the air. It is particularly gratifying that there is no "set" on the part of any of the Companies against the Service going to Cowley Street, but, pleasant as that prospect may be, please do not count too much upon it until we get matters a stage forward'. FOUR: Initia.
