Book Description
These volumes are primarily a compilation of certain general tariff acts and a digest of rulings and decisions thereunder, but their scope includes also a reference to or citation of what might be called related laws such as the national industrial recovery act of 1933, in part, the agricultural adjustment act of 1933, in part, the antidumping act of 1921, and many others, including sections of the Revised statutes which are still in effect and which are now embodied in the United States Code. Those books are in a limited sense a revision of the compilation of customs laws and digest of decisions thereunder, published in 1908, in that they reprint such of the digest matter in that publication as embodies precedents or principles that are of contemporary value or historical interest, but the greater portion of these books in a digest of the decisions of the various courts of the United States and rulings of the Treasury Department during the period from January 1, 1908 to January 1, 1935.

Hunters and Collectors
Author: Tom Griffiths
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 9780521483490
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 438
Book Description
Hunters and Collectors is about historical consciousness and environmental sensibilities in European Australia from the mid-nineteenth century to the present. It is in part a collective biography of amateur antiquarians, archaeologists, naturalists, journalists and historians: people who shaped the Australian historical imagination. Dr Griffiths illuminates the way these avid collectors and investigators of the Australian land and of its indigenous inhabitants contributed a sense of identity at colony-wide and eventually nationwide level. He also considers the rise of professional history, anthropology and archaeology in the universities, which ignored the efforts of the amateurs. Griffiths shows how the seemingly trivial activities of these hunters and collectors feed into the political and environmental debates of the 1990s. This book is outstanding in its originality, interpretative insight and literary flair.

Curious Collectors, Collected Curiosities
Author: Janelle A. Schwartz
Publisher: Cambridge Scholars Publishing
ISBN: 1527553388
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 170
Book Description
Curious Collectors, Collected Curiosities: An Interdisciplinary Study asks its readers to enter into an investigation of the nature of collecting as an aesthetic exercise. Spanning the sixteenth century through today, this book gathers together the work of current scholars to re-envision the task of collectors and their collections in broad strokes. Each chapter appropriates the idea of a cabinet of curiosity in order to expand its boundaries of meaning and to complicate our understanding of the acts of display and observation. These chapters also demonstrate that collecting is a universal trope which nevertheless depends on time and place for its particular expressions. Whether the collection is made up of literary texts and criticism, visual art, including mechanical reproductions, taxidermy and photography, historical travelogues, museum exhibitions, blockbuster films, or airline in-flight briefing cards, it conveys an urgent relevance to our consumer age, in which information is abundant and attention is a commodity.
