  1. 3-4 -  “Extracts from introductions to the first edition of the

                        Catalogue of the Perkins Bull Collection” incl. 2 paragraphs

                        by CWJ:  “…He [Bull] realized that such [pioneer] paintings,

                        drawings, and photographs, had a value as historic documents,

                        that in many instances they were more vivid and illuminating than

                        written or printed records, and that sometimes pictures were more

                        definite, authentic, and impartial, than words.  This remarkable

                        collection is an evidence that he takes the wider modern view of

                        history as including all mankind’s activities, and that he possesses

                        the insight to read in a building, a piece of furniture, an implement,

                        or a photographic group of portraits, historic data no less important

                        and significant than can be found in an old diary or in an act of

                        parliament.”

                        whom the volume on Medicine and Health in the Perkins Bull

                        Historical Series takes the first part of its name.  Jefferys here

                        achieves a study which is at once full of life and scrupulously

                        truthful in detail.”

                        “Military Sketches No. 66…A series of head and tailpieces drawn

                        by this noted artist for From Brock to Currie…This most interesting

                        and valuable group is from the Founder’s private collection.  In it the

                        artist’s wide knowledge of historical details and passion for historical

                        research have found full scope.  The Founder feels specially fortunate
