THE NEW YORK TIMES, New York, NY, August 11, 1942 * re. Mahatma Gandhi arrest * Battle of Guadalcanal begins * Solomon Islands * World War II original This 38 page newspaper has a three column headline on the front page: "INDIAN RIOTS SPREAD" with subheads. (see) Reports on the rioting in India just after the arrest of Gandhi. Other news of the day with much on world war II. Rag edition in great condition. wikipedia notes: Gandhi and the entire Congress Working Committee were arrested in Bombay by the British on 9 August 1942. Gandhi was held for two years in the Aga Khan Palace in Pune. It was here that Gandhi suffered two terrible blows in his personal life. His 50-year old secretary Mahadev Desai died of a heart attack 6 days later and his wife Kasturba died after 18 months imprisonment in 22 February 1944; six weeks later Gandhi suffered a severe malaria attack. He was released before the end of the war on 6 May 1944 because of his failing health and necessary surgery; the Raj did not want him to die in prison and enrage the nation. wikipedia notes: The Guadalcanal Campaign, also known as the Battle of Guadalcanal, was fought between August 7, 1942, and February 9, 1943, in the Pacific theater of World War II. Fought on the ground, at sea, and in the air, this was a strategically significant, and decisive, campaign which pitted Allied forces against Imperial Japanese forces. The fighting took place on and around the island of Guadalcanal in the southern Solomon Islands, and was the first major offensive launched by Allied forces against the Empire of Japan.[8] On August 7, 1942, Allied forces, predominantly composed of troops from the United States, initiated landings on the islands of Guadalcanal, Tulagi, and Florida in the southern Solomons with the objective of denying their use by Japanese forces as bases to threaten supply routes between the U.S., Australia, and New Zealand. The Allies also intended to use Guadalcanal and Tulagi as bases to support a campaign to eventually capture or neutralize the major Japanese base at Rabaul on New Britain. The initial Allied landings overwhelmed the outnumbered Japanese defenders, who had occupied the islands in May 1942, and resulted in the capture of Tulagi and Florida as well as an airfield (later named Henderson Field) that was under construction by the Japanese on Guadalcanal. Surprised by the Allied offensive, the Japanese made several attempts between August and November 1942 to retake Henderson Field on Guadalcanal. These attempts resulted in three major land battles, five large naval battles, and continuous, almost daily, aerial battles, culminating in the decisive Naval Battle of Guadalcanal in early November 1942, in which the last Japanese attempt to land enough troops to capture Henderson Field was defeated. In December 1942, the Japanese abandoned further efforts to retake Guadalcanal and evacuated their remaining forces from the island by February 7, 1943, leaving the island in Allied hands. The Guadalcanal campaign marked the first significant strategic combined arms victory by Allied forces over the Japanese in the Pacific theater. For this reason, the Guadalcanal campaign is often referred to as a "turning point" in the war. The campaign marked the beginning of the transition by the Allies from defensive operations to the strategic offensive while Japan was thereafter forced to cease strategic offensive operations and instead concentrate on strategic defense. Building on their success at Guadalcanal and elsewhere, the Allies continued their campaign against Japan, ultimately culminating in Japan's defeat and the end of World War II.

THE NEW YORK TIMES, from New York, dated April 6, 1930 * Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi (Mahatma) * Salt march (salt satyagraha) ends * Dandi, India This 50+ page newspaper has one column headlines on the front page that include: * GANDHI MAKES SALT, DEFYING INDIA'S LAW * Situation is Tense as Police Gather and Thousands Await Government Action * RAIL MEN JOIN CAMPAIGN and more. Other news of the day throughout. Light browning with minor margin wear, otherwise in in nice condition. wikipedia notes: The Salt Satyagraha was a campaign of non-violent protest against the British salt tax in colonial India which began with the Salt March to Dandi on March 12, 1930. It was the first act of organized opposition to British rule after Purna Swaraj, the declaration of independence by the Indian National Congress. Mahatma Gandhi led the Dandi march from his Sabarmati Ashram to Dandi, Gujarat to make salt tax free, with growing numbers of Indians joining him along the way. When Gandhi broke the salt laws in Dandi at the conclusion of the march on April 6, 1930, it sparked large scale acts of civil disobedience against the British Raj salt laws by millions of Indians.[1] Gandhi was arrested on May 5, 1930, just days before his planned raid on the Dharasana Salt Works. The Dandi March and the ensuing Dharasana Satyagraha drew worldwide attention to the Indian independence movement through extensive newspaper and newsreel coverage. The satyagraha against the salt tax continued for almost a year, ending with Gandhi's release from jail and negotiations with Viceroy Lord Irwin at the Second Round Table Conference.[2] Over 80,000 Indians were jailed as a result of the Salt Satyagraha.[3] The campaign had a significant effect on changing world and British attitudes toward Indian independence,[4][5] and caused large numbers of Indians to actively join the fight for the first time, but failed to win major concessions from the British.[6] The Salt Satyagraha campaign was based upon Gandhi's principles of non-violent protest called satyagraha, which he loosely translated as "truth-force."[7] In early 1930 the Indian National Congress chose satyagraha as their main tactic for winning Indian independence from British rule and appointed Gandhi to organize the campaign. Gandhi chose the 1882 British Salt Act as the first target of satyagraha. The Salt March to Dandi, and the beating of hundreds of non-violent protesters in Dharasana, demonstrated the effective use of civil disobedience as a technique for fighting social and political injustice.[8] The satyagraha teachings of Gandhi and the March to Dandi had a significant influence on American civil rights activist Martin Luther King, Jr., and his fight for civil rights for blacks and other minority groups in the 1960s.

NEW YORK WORLD-TELEGRAM, New York, NY, August 14, 1947 * Partition of India * Pakistan This 36 page newspaper has a three column headline on page 6: "2 New Nations Born in India As British End 200-Yr. Rule" with smaller subheads. Other news of the day throughout. Light browning with some margin wear but no text loss, otherwise good. source: wikipedia: The Partition of India led to the creation on 14 August 1947 and 15 August 1947, respectively, of two sovereign states, upon the granting of independence to British India by the United Kingdom: the Dominion of Pakistan (later Islamic Republic of Pakistan); and the Union of India (later Republic of India). 'Partition' here refers also to the division of the Bengal province of British India into the Pakistani state of East Bengal (later East Pakistan, now Bangladesh) and the Indian state of West Bengal, as well as the similar partition of the Punjab region of British India into the Punjab province of West Pakistan and the Indian state of Punjab, in addition to the division of the British Indian Army, the Indian Civil Service and other administrative services, the railways, and the central treasury, and other assets. The secession of Bangladesh from Pakistan in the 1971 Bangladesh Liberation War is not covered by the term Partition of India, nor are the earlier separations of Ceylon (Sri Lanka) and Burma (Myanmar) from the administration of British India. Ceylon, part of the Madras Presidency of British India from 1795 until 1798, became a separate Crown Colony in 1798. Burma, gradually annexed by the British during 1826 – 86 and governed as a part of the British Indian administration until 1937, was directly administered thereafter. [1] Burma was granted independence on January 4, 1948 and Ceylon on February 4, 1948. (See History of Sri Lanka and History of Burma.) The remaining countries of present-day South Asia include: Nepal; Bhutan; and the Maldives. The first two, Nepal and Bhutan, having signed treaties with the British designating them as independent states, were never a part of British India, and therefore their borders were not affected by the partition. The Maldives, which became a protectorate of the British crown in 1887 and gained its independence in 1965, was also unaffected by the partition.

THE NEW YORK TIMES, New York, NY, February 24, 1944 * re. Kasturba Gandhi death (pyre) * Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi wife * The Mahatma This 34 page newspaper has one column headlines on page 3: "GANDHI SHEDS TEARS AT WIFE'S CREMATION" and "Mahatma Sits in Shade of Tree Watching Pyre After Rites". Other news of the day with much on World War II. Light browning, otherwise in good condition. wikipedia notes: Kasturba joined her husband in political protests. She traveled to South Africa in 1897 to be with her husband. From 1904 to 1914, she was active in the Phoenix Settlement near Durban. During the 1913 protest against working conditions for Indians in South Africa, Kasturba was arrested and sentenced to three months in a hard labor prison. Later, in India, she sometimes took her husband's place when he was under arrest. In 1915, when Gandhi returned to India to support indigo planters, Kasturba accompanied him. She taught hygiene, discipline, reading and writing to women and children. Kasturba suffered from chronic bronchitis. Stress from the Quit India Movement's arrests and ashram life caused her to fall ill. After feeling very weak while in prison, she died from a severe heart attack[citation needed] on February 22, 1944. Kasturba fell ill with bronchitis which was subsequently complicated by Pneumonia. In January of 1944, Kasturba suffered two more heart attacks. She was now confined to her bed much of the time. Even there she found no respite from pain. Spells of breathlessness interfered with her sleep at night. Yearning for familiar ministrations, Ba asked to see an Ayurvedic doctor… After conferring with the others (doctors) at Aga Khan Palace earlier that morning, Bapu has made a wrenching decision: “I think all medicines should be stopped. We should leave everything in the hands of God.” The doctors had agreed. … Mahatma Gandhi and his son Devdas Gandhi had a fight over the treatment. Devdas had arranged for penicillin from Calcutta, but Mahatma Gandhi refused to give it to Kasturba as it had to be injected.[1] “Why do you want to prolong your mother’s agonies after all the suffering she has been through?” Bapu asked. Then, with utmost compassion, he said, “You can’t cure her now, no matter what miracle drug you may muster. But if you insist, I will not stand in your way.” Devadas bowed his head. He had no further pleadings to offer. The doctors looked relieved.[2] After a short while, Kasturba stopped breathing.

Also a two column headline at the bottom of the front page: "Americans Now Ask Return Of the Wrights' First Plane". Reports of 2 famous deaths in 1 issue. Other news of the day throughout. Light browning with little margin wear, otherwise in good condition. wikipedia notes: Orville succeeded to the presidency of the Wright company upon Wilbur's death. Sharing Wilbur's distaste for business but not his brother's executive skills, Orville sold the company in 1915. He, Katharine and their father Milton moved to a mansion, Hawthorn Hill, Oakwood, Ohio, which the newly wealthy family built. Milton died in his sleep in 1917. Orville made his last flight as a pilot in 1918. He retired from business and became an elder statesman of aviation, serving on various official boards and committees, including the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA), predecessor agency to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). Katharine married a former Oberlin classmate in 1926, which greatly upset Orville. He refused to attend the wedding or even communicate with her. He finally agreed to see her, apparently at Lorin's insistence, just before she died of pneumonia in 1929. On 19 April 1944, the second production Lockheed Constellation, piloted by Howard Hughes and TWA president Jack Frye, flew from Burbank, California to Washington D.C. in 6 hours and 57 minutes. On the return trip, the aircraft stopped at Wright Field to give Orville Wright his last airplane flight, more than 40 years after his historic first flight. He may even have briefly handled the controls. He commented that the wingspan of the Constellation was longer than the distance of his first flight.[72] Orville died in 1948 after his second heart attack, having lived from the horse-and-buggy age to the dawn of supersonic flight. Both brothers are buried at the family plot at Woodland Cemetery, Dayton, Ohio.

COURIER OF NEW HAMPSHIRE, Concord, New Hampshire, August 29, 1795 * Jay's Treaty signed by George Washington * 18th century original reading * Uncommon title On page 3 under "The Treaty ratified" is a report datelined "Philadelphia, August 15" that reads, in full: * Pursuant to the consent and advice of the Senate, as expressed in their resolution of the 24th of June last, the President of the United States has ratified the Treaty of Amity, Commerce and Navigation, between his Britannic Majesty and the U. States of America First leaf has a large stain in the lower right corner, some foxing, otherwise good. 4 pages. wikipedia notes: The Jay Treaty, also known as Jay's Treaty and the Treaty of London of 1794,[1] between the United States and Great Britain averted war, solved many issues left over from the American Revolution, and opened ten years of largely peaceful trade in the midst of the French Revolutionary Wars. It was highly contested by Jeffersonians but passed Congress and became a central issue in the formation of the First Party System. The treaty was signed in November 1794, but was not proclaimed in effect until February 29, 1796. The terms were designed primarily by Treasury Secretary Alexander Hamilton with strong support from President George Washington and chief negotiator John Jay. The treaty increased trade and averted war, which pleased both sides. Jay obtained the primary American requirements: British withdrawal from the posts that they occupied in the Northwest Territory of the United States, which they had promised to abandon in 1783. Wartime debts and the US-Canada boundary were sent to arbitration — one of the first major uses of arbitration in diplomatic history. The Americans were also granted some rights to trade with British possessions in India and the Caribbean in exchange for American limits on the export of cotton. The treaty averted possible war but immediately became one of the central issues in domestic American politics, with Thomas Jefferson and James Madison leading the opposition. They feared that closer economic ties with Britain would strengthen the Federalists. The treaty encouraged trade between the two nations for a decade, but it broke down after 1803. The main parts of the treaty expired after 10 years. Efforts to agree on a replacement treaty failed in 1806, with the U.S. rejection of the Monroe-Pinkney Treaty as tensions escalated to the War of 1812.

THE TIMES PICAYUNE, New Orleans, Louisiana, June 16, 1944 * B-29 Superfortresses bomb mainland Japan (1st time) * World War II - WWII * Post D-Day news This 24 page newspaper has a nice banner headline on the front page: "TOKYO ADMITS AIR BLOW" with related map. Other World War II reporting as well. Nice for display. Light central fold wear, otherwise in good condition. wikipedia notes: On 15 June 1944, 47 B-29s launched from Chengdu, China, bombed the Imperial Iron and Steel Works at Yawata Japan. This was the first attack on Japanese islands since the Doolittle raid in April 1942. The first B-29 combat losses occurred during this raid, with one B-29 destroyed on the ground by Japanese fighters after an emergency landing in China, one lost to anti-aircraft fire over Yawata, and another, the Stockett's Rocket B-29-1-BW 42-6261,[10][11] disappeared after takeoff from Chakulia, India, over the Himalayas (12 KIA, 11 crew and one passenger)(Source: 20th Bomb Group Assn.) This raid nearly exhausted fuel stocks at the Chengdu B-29 bases, resulting in a slow-down of operations until the fuel stockpiles could be replenished.

This is a four page pamphlet titled: "His Majesty's Most Gracious SPEECH to both Houses of PARLIAMENT on Wed. the 24th day of April, 1765" as noted in the full title page. London, England. In this address the king talks of his health and his successor to the throne (see photos). Complete in 4 pages, 8 1/4 by 10 3/4 inches, very nice condition. wikipedia notes: George III (George William Frederick; 4 June 1738[2] – 29 January 1820 [N.S.]) was King of Great Britain and King of Ireland from 25 October 1760 until the union of these two countries on 1 January 1801, after which he was King of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland until his death. He was concurrently Duke of Brunswick-Lüneburg and prince-elector of Hanover in the Holy Roman Empire until his promotion to King of Hanover on 12 October 1814. He was the third British monarch of the House of Hanover, but unlike his two predecessors he was born in Britain and spoke English as his first language. Despite his long life, he never visited Hanover. George III's long reign was marked by a series of military conflicts involving his kingdoms, much of the rest of Europe, and places further afield in Africa, the Americas and Asia. Early in his reign, Great Britain defeated France in the Seven Years' War, becoming the dominant European power in North America and India. However, many of its American colonies were soon lost in the American Revolutionary War, which led to the establishment of the United States. A series of wars against revolutionary and Napoleonic France, over a twenty-year period, finally concluded in the defeat of Napoleon in 1815. In the later half of his life, George III suffered from recurrent and, eventually, permanent mental illness. Medical practitioners were baffled by this at the time, although it has since been suggested that he suffered from the blood disease porphyria. After a final relapse in 1810, a regency was established, and George III's eldest son, George, Prince of Wales, ruled as Prince Regent. On George III's death, the Prince Regent succeeded his father as George IV. Historical analysis of George III's life has gone through a "kaleidoscope of changing views" which have depended heavily on the prejudices of his biographers and the sources available to them.

THE LONDON CHRONICLE, London, England, June 26, 1792 * Tippu, Tipoo, Tippoo : Ruler of Mysore, India * Tipu is defeated Page 3 of this genuine newspaper contains a nice report, taken from the Bombay Gazette, headed: "Grand Army.  Camp--The Island of Seringapatam.  Defeat of Tippoo and His Army". Near the beginning of the report is: "Official dispatches were yesterday...received...which convey the glorious intelligence of a most signal & complete victory gained by Earl Cornwallis over the whole of Tippoo's army..." with more, including a portion of a letter signed by Lt. General John Morris noting the specifics (see photos). This report takes almost an entire page and includes other accounts. See the photos for the full text. This newspaper is complete in 8 pages, measures 8 1/2 by 11 1/2 inches and is in very nice, clean condition. A very significant issue in this history of India, and in the life of the sultan who was considered one of the bravest & noblest kings ever in the history of South India. He sacrificed his life for his country. wikipedia notes: Sultan Fateh Ali Tipu (November 20, 1750, Devanahalli – May 4, 1799, Srirangapattana), also known as the Tiger of Mysore, was the de facto ruler of the Indian Kingdom of Mysore from 1782 (the time of his father's death) until his own demise in 1799. He was the first son of Haidar Ali by his second wife, Fatima or Fakhr-un-nissa. Tipu Sultan was a learned man and an able soldier. He was reputed to be a good poet. He was a devout Muslim. The majority of his subjects were Hindus and they were his staunch loyalists for he was a benevolent ruler. At the request of the French, he built a church, the first in Mysore. In alliance with the French in their struggle with the British both Tipu Sultan and Hyder Ali did not hesitate to use their French trained army against the Maharattas, Sira, Malabar, Coorg and Bednur. He was proficient in the languages he spoke [1]. He helped his father Haidar Ali defeat the British in the Second Mysore War, and negotiated the Treaty of Mangalore with them. However, he was defeated in the Third Anglo-Mysore War and in the Fourth Anglo-Mysore War by the combined forces of the English East India Company, the Nizam of Hyderabad, the Mahratta Confederacy, and to a lesser extent, Travancore. Tipu Sultan died defending his capital Srirangapattana, on May 4, 1799. Sir Walter Scott, commenting on the abdication of Napoleon Bonaparte in 1814, wrote:     "Although I never supposed that he [Napoleon] possessed, allowing for some difference of education, the liberality of conduct and political views which were sometimes exhibited by old Haidar Ally, yet I did think he [Napoleon] might have shown the same resolved and dogged spirit of resolution which induced Tippoo Saib to die manfully upon the breach of his capital city with his sabre clenched in his hand."

Accompanying this map is a nice and detailed article on Jamaica which describes it geographically, gives a bit of history on how it was settled, and some text on its economy (see photos for the full report). This issue is missing the plate: "Plan of the City and Harbour of the Havanna", Cuba, but there is a report near the back which relates to it, beginning: "Porto Rico is a large Spanish island, well fortified; and Hispaniola belonging to both France & Spain is much larger & stronger...by taking the Havannah & St. Jago, we shall take the whole island of Cuba which is 500 miles long...And as our taking Cuba and Florida, will bring Spain to reasonable terms, the taking Mississippi & the Caribee Islands, which we have already conquered, may bring France to reasonable terms also..." with more (see photos). There is also an interesting report concerning the trial of seven men for piracy (see photos). Other articles of interest in this magazine include: "A Letter to a Friend on Suicide and Madness," the Articles of Capitulation for the surrender of the island of St. Lucia, which takes nearly 2 1/2 pages, "Defence of the British East India Company" "Papers Relative to the Rupture with Spain" "City of London's Address on Taking Martinico" Complete in 96 pages, measures 5 by 8 inches with full title/index page which features an engraving of St. John's Gate. Nice condition.
