Modern cloth with the original illustrated cover pasted on, card of the Norfolk & Norwich Library on the bottom of the front cover and their large bookplate on the paste-down, new endpapers; interior very clean.

This work provides a detailed and interesting look at life in Central Asia for both travelers and residents at the end of the nineteenth century. Lawrence John Lumley Dundas, 2nd Marquess of Zetland (styled Lord Dundas until 1892 and Earl of Ronaldshay between 1892 and 1929), was a British Conservative politician. He served as Secretary of State for India in the late 1930’s.

Description
quarto, three pages, some minor wear, rust stain from old paper clip, else in good, clean, legible condition. 1923 The Case for Movie Censorship after the First Red Scare. In 1921, the same New York legislator who had launched the state's Legislative Committee to investigate "seditious activities" and "Revolutionary Radicalism" during the post-war "Red Scare", sponsored a law to have movies censored for "objectionable material" by government commissioners. Movie industry lobbyists who had failed to convince the legislature to allow "self-censorship" by film producers, took heart in November 1922 when Massachusetts voters rejected similar provisions for censorship in their state. The election that same year of liberal Democratic New York Governor Al Smith prompted an effort to repeal the New York law. This letter from a church-based group opposing repeal was signed by the former advertising manager of a Kansas City Flour Mill Company who had moved to New York to open a public relations firm and to produce silent films with a "religious" (i.e. Christian) storyline. He later went on to organize the Outdoor Advertising Company that littered the American countryside with commercial billboards. His long letter explains in detail why necessary government "regulation" was not censorship but merely an effort to protect the public from "evil" and "indecent" movies that were profitable to "big business."
