CANADA, Saskatoon, Saskatchewan.]
BELLAMY, George. Diary.
One volume. 1940.
This is a land surveyor's meticulous accounting, down to literal and figurative measurements, of daily life, along with professional and personal activities. Perceptive reports are provided as he observed the European situation and World War II from a Canadian vantage point.

6" high x 3-1/4" wide x 1" thick. Stamped on cover "Diary / 1940." Tear into front cover edge, covers spotted and worn but not detracting. Some of the most original engrossing ever encountered around here—rather a squared-off, small capital hand, but clearly legible (see photographs).

(Top right) Bellamy's diary. (Bottom
right and below) Typical and representative entries with the sort of clarity and detail to which many diaries aspire and never possess. John, living away at a local soldiers' camp, and Marie were Bellamy's children.
