Cover marked with ball-point pen "55", some moisture stains, 6 leaves at the end tears in the white top margin; clean copy.All works proudly present the German Colonies and the benefits of colonization to the primitive natives, which are not treated with much respect. Some are even earmarked for extinction, as they are regarded as incapable of ever becoming civilized people, as can be seen in the text example on page 290 ("...evaluating the natives with regards to their cultural abilities, one race is to be excluded: the Bushman. The Bushman completely lacks any precondition for cultural development - organized and thoughtful planning for his being. .... Colonialists cannot count on such people; they may live as long as they do not do any damage. Where they did not meet this requirement, they were shot down like predators. The idea was taken into consideration to let the Buschman live in a reservation, as a relic from primeval times, such as animal species are kept from extinction. However, one cannot afford to let the required territory lie fallow, as its output will be required to keep the human species alive.") Condition: II - III

[Jane, Lady Grey] - Queen Jane's Council Two Documents, including the Proclamation of Queen Mary I, document issued by Queen Jane's Council, directed to the Bishop of Salisbury and six Wiltshire and Gloucestershire knights, announcing the proclamation of Mary Tudor as Queen, dated 19th July 1553 at Baynard's Castle (City of London) "From Baynardes Castell the xixth of July 1553", subscribed by Thomas Cranmer as Archbishop of Canterbury, Thomas Goodrich as Bishop of Ely, The Marquess of Winchester, the Earl of Bedford, the Earl of Shrewsbury, The Earl of Pembroke, Sir Thomas Cheyne, Sir John Cheke, and Sir William Cecil, declaring that Mary Tudor is: "in juste and laufull possession of thimperiall crowne of this realme...", 21 x 30cm; [The Second Document] Chaffyn, Thomas report on Queen Mary's speech to the Commons on the 1st February 1554, with a second section describing the Duke of Suffolk (Henry Grey) being charged in court for High Treason on the 17th February 1554, subscribed "T.C'", folio, folded, 20.5 x 30cm (2)Footnote: Note: The first letter, sent by Lady Jane Grey's Privy Council, formally acknowledges the reign of Queen Mary I, thus abandoning Lady Jane Grey's claim to the throne. The letter states: "wee havying no good oportunitie afore yhis tyme have proclaymed this day in the Citie of London, our sovereign lady Quene Marye to be in juste and laufull possession of thimperiall crowne of this realme, as by the proclamation sent to youe herewith more playnly shall appere..." Lady Jane Grey was famously 'Queen for nine days' following the death of the young Edward VI on 6th July 1553, who had written the 'Device' proclaiming that she should be his heir, being a Protestant, unlike his elder sister, Mary Tudor. On 10th July, Jane was declared Queen by the Privy Council. However, Jane's support quickly dwindled in favour of Mary and, on the 19th July, the Privy Council switched allegiances and declared Mary to be Queen, as seen in this letter. Jane, not yet aged eighteen, was subsequently executed at the Tower of London on the 12th February 1554. Her father, Henry Grey, the 1st Duke of Suffolk, was executed several days later for his part in another attempt to overthrow Mary I when she announced her intention to marry King Philip of Spain.
