Buck, Pearl S. (1892-1973). American novelist, critic, and humanitarian activist; raised in China, she is best known for her stories and novels set there. She was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for her novel The Good Earth and, in 1938, the Nobel Prize for Literature. Scarce Autograph Manuscript Signed twice"P.S.B." once in pen and once in pencil, 8-112 pages, 4to, no place, ca. March 1941. A series of book reviews for Asia magazine. First comes a brief note on "The autobiography of Jawaharlal Nehru ... entitled Toward Freedom ... the new edition, which contains a valuable new chapter that brings it up to date ... " With Buck's "Asia Column," a book review, in which she writes, "Out of the Night, by Jan Valtin, is a book like none other that has ever been written. It is difficult to define exactly its unique quality and significance, but it has both these. The material is not in itself new. It is, superficially, the story of a German communist who was sent to work in underground activities for communism in many countries ... among which were the United States and China. The book contains no propaganda. It is the story of a man so shaped by the circumstances of his time ... that he was captured by communism ... [For Communism] might be substituted almost any other impersonal power which has laid hold of human individuals and used them and dehumanized them ... " After a discussion of the book's contents, she concludes that "It all makes a book which everyone ought to read who believes in the dignity of the individual ... " She next turns to "Workers Before And After Lenin by Manya Gordon ... an examination into the conditions of the Russian labor for the last fifty years, and a comparison of the conditions of working people in that country now ... The book begins with an account of the gains which labor was making before the revolution ... " Rebelling against oppression and exploitation, " ... The unions did not at once realize that they would be in exactly the same relation to the Soviet government as they were to their former capitalist employers ... with one difference. Under the old system they could strike and arbitrate and negotiate. Under the new regime they lost all such rights ... " She writes of the author's conclusion, " ... If she is right and if the people of Russia are once more fighting for liberty ... it brings them back into the world of peoples ... " She reviews two other works more briefly, "Chinese Homes and Gardens ... a joy to possess ... " and "The Maori People Today," a collection of symposium essays. She notes that " ... it has been taken for granted that the white man in New Zealand has treated the Maori with unusual justice and mercy ... " but the collection shows there was " ... no unusual goodness on the part of the white conquerors ... " Buck signs her initials after each of these last two reviews, the first in pencil. With numerous pencil and ink revisions. All pages stapled together in upper left corner. Binder holes at left edge. Age-toned, especially at edges, with some breaks in binder holes of first page, otherwise in very good condition.

Netherlands East Indies. Vereenigde Oost-Indische Compagnie (VOC), Batavia. Batavian Crown of 48 Stivers (Bataviase Kroon of Reaal van 48 Stuivers), 1646. 38.7 mm. 23.72 gms. Cast Silver. Upright sword, blade over laurel wreath whose ribbon ends flank hilt guard, within braided central circle; (floriate scroll) ANNO o 1646 (floriate scroll) BATAVIAE o, rev. VOC monogram, pellet between the "O" and "C", value o48oSTo above, crown c/m stamped between the monogram and value, within braided central circle, four floriated scrolls around in outer border. Scholten--, Buckhill--, Dav.--, KM--. The 1646 Crown is essentially unknown. Buckhill does comment that one is listed in the 1895 Batavian Museum catalog, but has doubts whether it existed and never saw it. However, Netscher and Van der Chijs, who first studied these coins, both noted Half Crowns and Quarter Crowns dated 1646. Given that, it would be perfectly likely that Crowns would have also been produced especially since the coinage was only withdrawn nearly 10 months into 1647. The design of this coin differs slightly from the 1645 Crown, a design feature Bucknill notes as being found on 24 and 12 Stuiver from 1646. This would suggest that a new master die was made. The crown c/m may have been applied as a means to foil contemporary counterfeiters in Batavia. The c/m, though, may have been applied much later as a collection symbol. Typical somewhat irregular, faceted edged. Some evidence of submersion in sea water. About Uncirculated, unique and of the Highest Rarity - the only known Dollar size coin issued in Southeast Asia dated 1646.
