Philip Gibbs, the fifth son of Henry James Gibbs, a civil servant at the Board of Education, and Helen Hamilton, was born in London in 1877. Mainly educated at home by his parents, Gibbs was determined to became a writer and at seventeen had his first article published by the Daily Chronicle. Gibbs worked for the publishing house Cassell and his first book, Founders of the Empire appeared in 1899.  In 1902 Alfred Harmsworth appointed Gibbs as literary editor of the Daily Mail. This was followed by periods with the Daily Express and the Daily Chronicle. He also joined with J. L. Hammond, Henry Brailsford and Leonard Hobhouse to produce a new Liberal newspaper called the Tribune. The newspaper was not a success and Gibbs began writing novels. The Street of Adventure (1909) described his early  years as a journalist in London. His next book, Intellectual Mansions (1910), dealt sympathetically with the Suffragette struggle for the vote.  In 1913 Gibbs went to Germany to report the growing tensions between the Triple Alliance and the Triple Entente. His articles forecasting a peace agreement between the two groups proved incorrect and in 1914 was sent to France to report the First World War. The War Office decided to control the news that appeared in British newspapers. When Gibbs continued to report the war he was arrested and returned to England. In 1915 Gibbs was one of the five journalists selected by the government to become official war correspondents with the British Army. Gibbs had to submit all his reports to the censor, C. E. Montague, the former leader writer with the Manchester Guardian. As well as writing articles about the war for the Daily Chronicle and the Daily Telegraph, Gibbs wrote  several books on the conflict: The Soul of the War (1915), The Battle of the Somme (1917), From Bapaume to Passchendaele (1918) and The Realities of War (1920). Like the other four official British journalists in the war, Gibbs was awarded a knighthood in 1920. In 1919 Gibbs undertook a very successful lecture tour of the United States. Later that year, Gibbs became the first journalist ever to obtain an interview with the Pope. Gibbs was a Roman Catholic and in 1920 resigned from the Daily Chronicle in protest at the newspaper's support of David Lloyd George's policy of  reprisals in Ireland. Over the next fifteen years Gibbs worked as a freelance journalist. He also published several books on European politics including Since Then (1930), European Journey (1934), England Speaks (1935), Ordeal in England (1937) and Across the Frontiers (1938). On the outbreak of the Second World War he worked briefly as a foreign reporter for the Daily Sketch. Later he was invited to work for the Ministry of Information in the United States. After the war failing eyesight  prevented Gibbs from continuing his work as a journalist.  Gibbs first book of reminiscences, Adventures in Journalism, appeared in 1923. In his later years, he  published three more volumes of autobiography: The Pageant of the Years (1946), Crowded Company (1949) and Life's Adventure (1957). Philip Gibbs died in Godalming on 10th March, 1962.

Philip Gibbs writing in Realities of War in 1920 was concerned about how men  who had lived through the horrors of trench warfare would  adapt to the supposed normality of peacetime, civilian life: They were subject to queer moods,tempers, fits of profound depression, alternating with a restless desire for pleasure. Many were bitter  in their speech, violent in opinion, frightening    ... Our men living in holes in the earth like ape-men were taught the ancient code of the  jungle law, to trap down human beasts in No Mans Land, to jump upon their bodies in the trenches, to kill quietly, silently ... It is apt to become a habit of mind. It may surge up again when there are no Germans present, but some old woman behind an open till...
 


 
Major Vivian Gilbert
The Romance of the Last Crusade with Allenby to Jerusalem ~ 1923 NY: W.B. Feakins or 1927 Appleton
Describes the British liberation of Palestine in World War I. Dr. E.M. Blaiklock related part of it in a magazine article: "Driving up from Beersheba, a combined force of British, Australians and New Zealanders were pressing on the rear of the Turkish retreat over arid desert. The attack out-distanced its water-carrying cameltrain. Water bottles were empty. The sun blazed pitilessly out of a sky where the vultures wheeled expectantly. "'Our heads ached,' writes Gilbert, 'and our eyes became bloodshot and dim in the blinding glare.... Our tongues began to swell ... our lips turned a purplish black and burst ....' Those who dropped out of the column were never seen again, but the desperate force battled on to Sheria. There were wells at Sheria, and had they been unable to take the place by nightfall, thousands were doomed to die of thirst. 'We fought that day,' writes Gilbert, 'as men fight for their lives.... We entered Sheria station on the heels of the retreating Turks. The first objects which met our view were the great stone cisterns full of cold, clear, drinking water. In the still night air the sound of water running into the tanks could be distinctly heard, maddening in its nearness; yet not a man murmured when orders were given for the battalions to fall in, two deep, facing the cisterns.' "He describes the stern priorities: the wounded, those on guard duty, then company by company. It took four hours before the last man had his drink of water, and in all that time they had been standing 20 feet from a low stone wall, on the other side of which were thousands of gallons of water."'I believe,' Major Gilbert concludes, 'that we all learned our first real Bible lesson on that march from Beersheba to Sheria wells.

Savoy Operas
William Schwenck Gilbert (November 18, 1836 - May 29, 1911) was a British dramatist best known for his operatic collaborations with the composer Arthur Sullivan. Gilbert published numerous short pieces of humour and was a cartoonist. Gilbert's father was a naval surgeon and he spent much of his youth touring Europe before settling down in London in 1849 later becoming a novelist in his own right, the most famous of his works being The Magic Mirror the original edition of which was illustrated by his son. Gilbert's parents were distant and stern, and he did not have a particularly good relationship with either of them. Following the breakup of their marriage in 1876, his relationships became even more strained, especially with his mother. In the late 1850s and early 1860s, he began a career as a barrister, supplementing his income and indulging his creative side with the publication of several short poems using the childhood nickname "Bab" for which the poems have become known as the Bab Ballads. In 1863, he wrote his first professional play, Uncle Baby, which ran for seven weeks. This represented his only dramatic success until 1866 when he had a burlesque and a pantomime produced. The following year, he married Lucy Agnes Turner. Following their marriage, he began to turn his attention more and more to writing for the stage and directing his work so that it would resemble his vision. Gilbert became a stickler that his actors interpret his work only in the manner he desired.

In 1871, John Hollingshead commissioned Gilbert to work with Sullivan to create the Grotesque Operetta Thespis, or The Gods Grown Old for the Christmas season at the Gaiety Theatre. This proved successful in that it outran 5 of its 9 competitors, closing only at Easter and being revived for the benefit of Nellie Farren, one of its stars, later in April 1872. However, this proved to be a false start in the men's collaborative efforts. It would be another four years before the men worked together again. Gilbert and Sullivan's real collaborative efforts began in 1875 when Richard D'Oyly Carte commissioned them to write a one act play, Trial by Jury. The success was so great that the three men formed an oftentimes turbulent partnership which lasted for twenty years and a further twelve operettas. Initially D'Oyly Carte's company was known as the Comedy Opera Company and Carte needed to enlist financial backing. It was his backers who stood in the way of the initial plans to revise and revive Thespis, insisting that they wanted a new work for their money and thereby losing Thespis to posterity as the full vocal score was never published. The first work to be presented by the new company at London's Opera Comique, was The Sorcerer in November 1877. This was followed by H.M.S. Pinafore in May 1878, which, despite a slow start, mainly due to a scorching summer, became a red-hot favourite in the autumn causing the directors to storm the theatre one night in an attempt to steal the sets and costumes to mount a rival production. The attempt was repelled and D'Oyly Carte continued as sole impresario of a newly re-named D'Oyly Carte Opera Company.

While working with Sullivan on the Savoy Operettas, Gilbert continued to write plays to be performed elsewhere, both serious dramas (i.e. The Ne'er-Do-Weel, 1878) and more humorous works (i.e. Foggerty's Fairy, 1881). Sullivan too have a career of his own. Two ballets, a symphony, a cello concerto, and number of large-scale choral pieces, incidental music to five of Shakespeare's plays and, of course, other operatic works including Ivanhoe which opened D'Oyly Carte's new Royal English Opera House (now the Palace Theatre) in Cambridge Circus in 1891. Gilbert and Sullivan had many rifts in their career, partly caused by the fact that each saw himself allowing his work to be subjugated to the other's, partly by their gap in social status. Sullivan was knighted in 1883 not long after the company moved to it's new home; The Savoy Theatre. One suspects however that this knighthood was not so much for his work with Gilbert, but for his more 'serious' music such as the Musical Drama The Martyr of Antioch, first produced late in 1881; Gilbert's family was lower in the social order and he was not recognized until 1907 when he was knighted by King Edward VII. In any event, Gilbert filled his plays with a strange mixture of cynicism about the world and "topsy-turvydom" in which the social order was turned upside down. This later, particularly, did not go well with Sullivan's desire for realism, (not to mention his vested interest in the social order as it was).

In 1893, Gilbert was named a Justice of the Peace in Harrow Weald. Although he announced a retirement from the theatre after the poor initial run of his last work with Sullivan, The Grand Duke (1896), he continued to produce plays up until the year of his death including an opera Fallen Fairies with Edward German (Savoy 1909) and an excellent one-act play set in a condemned cell, The Hooligan (Colliseum 1911). Gilbert also continued to personally supervise the various revivals of his works by the D'Oyly Carte Opera Company. On May 29, 1911, he was giving swimming lessons to two young ladies at his lake when one of them began to flail around. Gilbert dived in to save her, but suffered a heart attack in the middle of the lake and drowned.

1897 Magazine Article
Journal Entries of E.J. Glave Just Prior to His Death in the Congo Free State in 1895
"Cruel Conditions in the Congo Free State" by E. J. Glave
A 17-page, illustrated magazine article contains the concluding extracts from the journal of the travel and exploration writer E. J. Glave. Glave was on assignment with Century Monthly Magazine reporting on his explorations in the Congo Free State which was a colony of Belgium in the 1890's. His fine, incisive reporting gives a great picture of what it was like in the Congo at that time. The journal entries in this article begin in January, 1895 and continue up until May 2nd, 1895 . Glave died of a tropical fever on May 12th at Matadi in the home of the Baptist missionaries , Mr. and Mrs. Lawson Forfeitt. Glave was 32 years of age at his death. Also included in this article is an open letter from the editor of The Century Magazine which includes some really heart wrenching descriptions of the last days of Glave at the Mission Station. The reader gets a real feel for what it was like to be traveling through the Congo Free State at that time. The exhilarating moments, the incredible landscapes, and monumentally unjust situations the natives were forced into, as well as the oppressive heat, humidity and the sudden deadly tropical fevers are all described in Glave's journal and the item from the Century Editor. This last additional 3-page piece from the Century editor includes several of Glave's last letters and also the eyewitness account of his last days written by Lawson Forfeitt. Included in the article is a nice nap indicating the route of E.J. Glave across Africa based on a sketch map drawn by him. There are 14 illustrations in the article based on photographs that Glave took -- Wasongola Taking Glave's Canoe through the Wabundu Rapids -- Wasongola Women at Market -- Lt. Rue and his Bangala Soldiers in a Dugout -- Market-day at Wabundu -- Native Suspension-bridge -- Fishing Scaffolds on the Congo River -- Part of the Chopo Falls, from the North bank -- Views on the Line of the Congo Railway -- Station-house Occupied by Capt.Rom at Stanley Falls-a group of Station Laborers in the Foreground -- Reverend and Mrs. Lawson Forfeitt at the Baptist Mission, Underhill,Matadi. (this photographt taken by Glave while their Guest-he died at in this House ) --. View of Matadi on the Congo River -- and other illustrations. This is an authentic 113 year-old magazine piece and a great source of Congo and African history. There are facts, observations, and insights here not to be found in any of today's sources.

Elinor Glyn made her mark in the first 25 years of the century with racy novels for the time, and her fascination with Hollywood brought her in contact with stars and producers that increased her fame. She is probably remembered most for coining the term "It" which was supposed to describe some mystical, intangible quality possessed by a male or female that made him or her irresistible to the opposite sex. The whole idea is a lot of hokum, but it brought her phenomenal popularity in the twenties and the offer to have a whole feature length movie, starring Clara Bow, based on that concept. Elinor Glyn wrote the story, and, we all know she isn't known for her great literary contributions, and, of course, "It" is no exception. There's so much about it that's predictable. The movie uses the more innocent morality of the twenties prominantly in the story.

William W. Goodwin
Elementary Greek Grammar ~ 1879 
Modern paperback editionGoodwin’s Greek Grammar stands with Hadley’s Greek Grammar as one of the most widely used and longest running Greek Grammars in America. The grammar has gone through many editions and reprints for over 130 years, with the last major edition appearing in 1930. Goodwin first earned academic recognition for his Syntax of the Moods and Tenses of the Greek Verb which was first published in 1865. Five years later in 1870 he created the first edition of Greek Grammar which was a brief 235 page textbook called Elementary Greek Grammar. In 1879 the grammar was later revised to 393 page edition and renamed to A Greek Grammar. In 1892, Goodwin revised his grammar yet again to the 451 page edition entitled, A Greek Grammar Revised and Enlarged. It is the 'revised and enlarged' edition which was in widespread use and it is this edition that is available for download. The next major edition, the Goodwin and Gulick edition, occurred 38 years later in 1930 and was largely rewritten by Charles Gulick. The Goodwin and Gulick edition can be purchased new to this day. It should be made absolutely clear that Goodwin’s Greek Grammar is what is known as a reference grammar and it is not intended for beginners. Historically, students used this grammar in conjunction with a reader by the same publisher. The reader would provide notes and references back to the grammar for further help and clarification.

Jan and Cora Gordon
A Donkey Trip Through Spain ~ 1924 ~ NY: Robert M. McBride & Co. "Would you travel through Spain on a donkey? Jan and Cora Gordon did in 1924. Orange boards with drawing of a donkey and driver and pencil sketches inside showing the various wacky characters they encountered; B&W Illustrations ~ 273 pages 
Excerpt: The Gordons were a remarkable couple of diverse talents, who co-wrote some twelve books about their travels (unconventional by the standards of the time) between 1916 and 1933. Jan Gordon also managed a fairly prolific output of articles, short stories and art criticism for leading journals of the day; plus several books of art history or method, and some six novels. Over the years the couple gave lectures on radio about their travels; taught at art schools; demonstrated and played Spanish and European folk music on a variety of instruments; and produced many excellent paintings and etchings. Their literary career started in 1915 when they forsook their Paris studio to serve with the Red Cross in Serbia during the First World War. Their experiences, and subsequent escape on foot at the start of the great retreat of November/December 1915 as the Serbian Army collapsed under the onslaught of the Austrian forces, ought to have brought Jan Gordon some kind of official recognition. As it was, his only reward for bringing eleven of his Red Cross companions safely out of the war zone some three weeks ahead of the starving and freezing main body of troops, was much official disapproval for acting upon his own initiative.But the Gordons' early return did leave them with a journalistic scoop on their hands, and they wrote several articles about their exploits for 'The Times', 'The New Witness'and 'The Westminster Gazette'.

They eventually decided to combine their artistic and literary skills to write and illustrate their first real travel book, Poor Folk in Spain, which was published in 1922. (The poor folk of the title were themselves, incidentally, not the Spanish!) The style and conception of the book set the scene for the rest of their life in Paris, as they travelled to paint in out-of-the-way places in the summer months, also collating material which they could turn into a book in the winter months. The charm of their travel books is that Jan and Cora devoted more space to their experiences and adventures with people than to the scenery and sights around them. This gives their work a personal feel missing from so many travelogues of the time.

The following year, the Gordons returned to Spain. This time they trekked across southern Spain with a recalcitrant donkey and cart. Jan Gordon gives only a couple of pages in the subsequent book to their laborious uphill trek under a blazing sun, at one point half-pulling, half-pushing the cart to spare the donkey after all their water had been drunk by gypsies they had met earlier. Yet he devotes chapters to the troubles they had finding lodgings in wayside posadas, the peasant folk they met, and the conversations they had with them. Misadventures with a Donkey in Spain was published in serial form by 'Blackwoods Magazine' from June to December 1923; and in book form the next year. It was extremely well-received by the critics.
