Paperback. Zustand: Good. THERE ARE NO TARIFFS OR CUSTOMS DUTIES ON BOOKS. This book is a serious but humorous insight into the activities of the Preston Mob. First and foremost they are football fans, contrary to popular belief. Secondly, they formed a tight unit that can be, and has been, classified as 'a football firm#. It details misdemeanors all over this Blessed Isle and, as previously mentioned, on foreign soil representing their country. Featured are the first reported incidents of 'trouble' at Preston games, the roots of how the different firms nicknames came about, leading up to using the internet and modern technologies to organise a 'meet'. Will violence associated with football ever go away. Ask them or ask yourself! Good condition, no signs of major damage aside from general wear, and creases to the spine.

From the papers of William Scoresby Routledge (1859-1939), Australian-born British ethnographer, anthropologist and adventurer. Both items in good condition, on lightly-aged paper, but the first with a vertical closed tear at the base of one leaf. ONE: On letterhead of Christ Church, Oxford. 2 July 1920. 3pp., 16mo. Bifolium. Routledge's silence, he begins by stating, led him to think that he was 'somewhere on the High Seas', but he has realised that it was due to a mistaken address 'in the Steward's Office Address Book, where 'Conservative Club' has been written for 'Carlton Club'. 'How the mistake arose I cant imagine: for 2 years ago though the usual Clerk was away at the Wars, the Steward had the services of a most excellent & business-like woman clerk whom I never found to fail in doing anything that I, as Secretary, had to ask her to do.' A description of 'the Gaudy' follows: 'We tried to fill the Hall but though I sent out 561 invitations there were only 198 diners.' He proceeds to tell an amusing anecdote about Venizelos, then reaching the end of a turbulent period as Greek Prime Minister: 'Venizalos [sic] was our principal guest & he had consented to address us for 5 minutes in French (as his English is not of easy flow) when most dramatically a tweed-clothed man entered the Hall by one entrance from Common Room, handed him a slip of paper which seemed to cause him much surprise & made him hurriedly rise, briefly apologize to the Dean, & at once disappear doubtless, as Lord Sumner said in an immediately following speech, to give the Turk "a lesson in compulsory Greek".' He hopes the 'Sti', to which Routledge is 'off', 'will prove to be savoury as well as pleasant and interesting'. TWO: 'Ch. Ch. Oct 30'. 3pp., 16mo. Bifolium. He does not know why 'any London Lodge shd charge you an extra Fee on joining it because you are not a Subscribing Member of any other Lodge at the time of so joining it. I expect Buckmaster has made a mistake.' As a consequence he is returning Routledge's guinea, and has taken his name 'off the Lodge Books'. If Routledge does find that there are fees for having 'ceased membership with us (but this I cant for a moment believe)', he will arrange the matter for him. The letter ends with further talk of joining fees. Postscript: 'Still at bones?'.

ONE: Typed copy of will. 3pp., 4to., on three leaves. In fair condition, worn and aged. Folded into the customary packet, with the details typed on the reverse of a fourth leaf. The four leaves held together with a brass stud. Routledge ('formerly of "Ewers" Old Bursledon in the County of Southampton but now of Tjiklos Kyrenia in the island of Cyprus') declares: 'I was born at Melbourne in the year 1859. My father brought me to England at an early age. I was educated at Christ Church Oxford and studied at University College Hospital. Shortly afterwards I left England and travelled extensively in Newfoundland, British East Africa, in the Islands of the South East Pacific, and in other parts of the world living for many years amongst primitive tribes and I have been away from England the greater part of my life. I have now settled down in Cyprus and I DECLARE that Cyprus is my domicile.' John Charles Dundas Harington and Rosemary E. Blair are named as Routledge's executors and trustees, with 'Thomas Ryton Dray of Eski Bakja Kyrenia Cyprus' named 'an additional Exector for the purpose only of dealing with my property situate on the Island of Cyprus'. Among the directions and bequests is: 'I direct that my body be encased in a rough deal coffin of the least possible cost and buried in a mass of quicklime and not in consecrated but in unconsecrated ground. If I die in Cyprus I DESIRE to be buried on Tjiklos.' No 'professional minister ordained or unordained of any Religious body' is to take part, and Routledge revokes 'any benefit' for anyone obstructing his direction. TWO: Covering Typed Letter Signed from 'Norman C. Hurst' to 'J. C. D. Harington, Esq. | 42 Chester Square, | S.W.1.' 1p., 4to. He is 'only too pleased' to 'lend' Harington 'a copy of the Will of the above mentioned deceased'. He describes an additional codicil, with reference to 'the Estate Book', which Harington should be holding. From the papers of the Harington baronets of Ridlington.
