Item description from seller

Lot of 3 Items: I. Manuscript: "One World of Long Ago", size: 27.6*21.2cm. 3pp preface by Alley, signed and dated spring 1966, Peking. 23pp introduction by G. J. C. McArthur (Gordon J. C. McArthur, then Chairman of the Christchurch Branch of the New Zealand-China Society, who prefaced Alley's "Over China's Hills of Blue" and "Today and Tomorrow"). Title page, dedication poem, table of contents. Chapter One: A Sunday Afternoon at Sandan, 62pp; Chapter Two: Five Years's Later, 29pp; Chapter Three: Amongst Ancient Bits and Pieces in Peking, 47pp; Chapter Four: Some More Conjecture, 25pp; Chapter Five: Workers, Priests and Lords, 53pp; Chapter Six: Away with Totem and Tabu, 34pp; Chapter Seven: Concluding Thoughts, 49pp. Notes: 14pp. Hand-drawn pictographs, 14pp; Bibliography, 14pp. 22 loose leaves of various notes, arguably a part of its former drafts. Manuscript is COMPLETE, some pages with corrections. Loosely inserted are some hand-written notes, arguably out of Alley's hand. Altogether, this manuscript contains 392 pages. As early as 1958, Alley completed this book and sent his manuscripts to Ida Pruitt for review. Unfortunately, it was not published for some unknown reasons, and that 1958 manuscript (incomplete, Chapters 4 to 7) has been housed in Schlesinger Library, Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study at Harvard University. In 1966, Alley asked his brother P. J. Alley (Philip John Alley) to forward this manuscript to L. R. Cowell (Dunedin, Otago Museum) for review. There's no evidence that this manuscript was ever published. II. Manuscript: "A Highway, and an Old Chinese Doctor.", size: 27*21.3 cm. Lacks pages 1-3, including the title page. pp4-98, a total of 99 pages (including a couple of extra leaves). Untitled and unattributed but with numerous annotations by Alley himself in red and black and other annotations by another hand, possibly the editor. The book was published in 1973 by Caxton Press Christchurch New Zealand. The beginning of the manuscript (page 4) perfectly matches page 12 of the published book, all the way to the end (page 98), which matches page 78 of the published book. III. Book, "A Highway, and an Old Chinese Doctor", by Rewi Alley, Christchurch, New Zealand: The Caxton Press, 1973. paperback, 101pp. More photos available upon request.
