Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book details the notorious abuse of patronage in Canada's Outside Service by exploring the long history of the problem, from its genesis during nationhood in 1864 to its discussion during World War I.

Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. No Jacket. In Hebrew. 1. (2), v, 136 pages 2. (2), 60 pages. 3. (6), 53, (1) pages. 150 x 115 mm. Ex library, evinced only by a small de-accession stamp. Yehuda Leib Katznelson, (29 November 1846, Chernigov, south west Russian Empire, now Ukraine - 1917, Petrograd), also known by his pen name Bu…ki Ben Yogli, was a military doctor, writer and publicist of Hebrew Literature. He studied yeshiva in Zhytomyr, and began his medical study at the University of Saint Petersburg. During his studies he worked as a teacher of Hebrew for beginners at the Jewish school run by Eliezer Berman. In 1865, Katzenelson attended the government-sponsored rabbinical seminary in Zhitomir. After graduating, he served as a military physician in the Ottoman - Russian War (1877-78). At the end of the war, Katznelson settled in Saint Petersburg. As a young man, he worked for Hebrew-language newspapers, including Today, a Russian newspaper, as an editor and contributed to articles on scientific matters. He began to write about medical science, drawing on the Talmud as relevant to modern medicine. These articles were assembled later in his book The Wisdom of the Talmud and Medicine. Katznelson did not identify as a Zionist at the beginning of his public career, but supported Jewish Territorialists. He was eager to promote Jewish-owned agricultural advances wherever possible, especially in southern Russia and the Jewish colonies in Argentina. In 1909, he visited Eretz Israel and toured Jewish settlements. This visit changed his opinion; he abandoned territorialism and began to support practical Zionism. After the resignation of Simon Dubnov, Katznelson was appointed to the main Iibrskyh encyclopedia. Katznelson taught Russian and lectured in Oriental Studies, focusing on the settlement of the Land of Israel. Many of Katznelson's books were published outside of Russia. He practiced medicine in St. Petersburg until his death in 1917. Katznelson gained fame with the Jewish people and there are monographs on his life and works including by David Frishman, Jacob Fichman, Ben-Zion Katz, Menachem Ribolob and Reuben Brainin, Messed Lachover and Israel Cohen.

Smith played first-class cricket for Oxford University and Surrey, was educated, from 1886 to 1892, at Charterhouse School, one of the principal nurseries of the Association Football game, and learned many of the skills that subsequently brought him fame while boarding at the school. Smith captained the England team on at least 13, and possibly as many as 16, occasions (early records are inexact) between 1896 and 1901, winning at least eight games, possibly as many as ten, and drawing two. Smith retired from football shortly after his final international appearance and became joint headmaster at Ludgrove School, a preparatory school in Barnet recognised as one of the principal feeder institutions for Eton College. His fellow headmaster, Arthur Dunn - who had founded Ludgrove in 1892 - was another noted amateur footballer and had also played as centre-forward for England. Dunn died, aged only 41, a few months after Smith joined the school, and thereafter G. O. shared his duties with his fellow Corinthian, England captain, and great friend, William Oakley. He also taught, from 1918 at Sunningdale Preparatory School and died, aged 71, in retirement at his home in Hampshire. Ludgrove Prize Plate inside dated December 18th, 1906, SIGNED 'G. O. Smith.' Apart from the rare G. O. Smith signature, a poignant aside to the book is that the recipient student, Harry Keppel Chester, lost his life in World War 1. He was killed in action in the first GAZA Battle in 1917 and was posthumously promoted from Lieutenant to Captain H. K. Chester. His parish church, St. Mary the Virgin, in Birchanger, Essex has a marble memorial of his with the following inscription 'To the Glory of God and in loving memory of Harry Keppel Chester of this Parish, and of Kings College, Cambridge, Captain, 5th Battalion Essex Regiment, Born 18 July 1894, died 27 March 1917 of wounds received in action the previous day near Gaza, Buried at Khan Yunus, in Palestine. 'Go thy way, thy son liveth'. The Imperial War Museum, Lambeth Street, London has on view in their collection a gathering of his 1914-1917 letters, privately published in book form by his family in 1921. It is titled 'Letters from Harry Keppel Chester 1914-1917'. 218 pages. A poignant tragedy that 12 year old Harry received as his school prize 'A Boy in the Peninsular War', - killed in action - still a boy. Member of the P.B.F.A. SPORT [Football].
