MALTESE EMIGRATION - Emigration. Reports and Correspondence as to Mr. Casolani's Mission to London. Malta, Government Printing Office, 1922.

Foolscap folio. Original blue printed wrappers; pp. [ii], 71; margins of wrappers a bit frayed, upper outer corner dog-eared; otherwise clean and fresh.

Very rare first edition of this discussion of emigration from Malta to Australia, Canada, the US, France and other European countries. 'The natives of the Maltese Islands are people of pure European race, born within the British Empire, who require no such leavening in order to carry and preserve the traditions of the British Empire, and I submitted to Colonel Smith that physically and morally they are the equals of any of the Northern European people' (p. 16). Great!

'Mr Casolani [1869-1940] was Superintendent of Emigration, in charge of the Department of Emigration until he retired in 1930. During his period in office, more than 30,000 prospective migrants applied and were interviewed by Mr Casolani. In 1921 we find him in France discussing the possibility of sending Maltese workers to those zones devastated by the First World War - this resulted in 624 workers being sent to France to work under the same conditions as the French. Apart from his enormous energy in his position, he is probably best known for his capacity to convince the authorities, including the imperial authorities in the UK, of the need for establishing organised migration from Malta, particularly to places like Australia. He made enormous efforts to convince the authorities in the UK, including the various Australian States representatives that Maltese would make good migrants in Australia. He wrote endlessly about the suitability of Maltese migrants. He himself has noted: "I have succeeded in creating a favourable image of our migrant". He was always harping on the need for the preparation of migrants for their new destination. This involved not only the necessity to learn English, but "must also be prepared by being introduced to the laws, customs, history and geography of the country the intend to live in". In particular he encouraged technical education, evening classes for all adults and special courses on skills which were in demand' (MaltaMigration.com).

Cat loves this
Color: A1-Red
This toy is great for keeping pets entertained. The ball moves quickly and the tail makes it even more fun for cats to chase. It’s rechargeable and easy to use, and my pet stayed interested much longer than with regular toys.

Really cool cat toy for even the most picky cat!
Color: A1-Red, Color: A1-Red
I love it, wow. Our cat is picky with toys, but even he was intrigued by it. It really kept his attention, which is hard to do. It comes with three modes: fast, slow, and interactive. The only thing is that hair can get all trapped up in it because it's a wheel, so keep your house clean I guess lol. The tail also came off once, so you gotta snuggly get it on up there. Really cool cat toy though, I'm happy I got it lol

Not worth the money
Color: A1-Red
My small Chihuahua loved this toy. It kept him entertained until it would stop working. He only gets about 10 minutes of play and it's no longer charged to use. I even bought a second one thinking the first one might have been just bad luck, but nope, the same problem. It seems most of these interactive toys are only given 2 to 3 stars. I'm disappointed but more importantly, my pup is even more.

Terrific product
Color: A1-Red
I adopted a 2 year old cat - she’s not much for a lot of the toys I have purchased for her, until this one! At first she seemed very cautious with it - but still followed it around - once I slowed it down (a few different options) she loves to play with it! Great purchase very pleased with it

Fun & Fast moving toy for my cats!
Color: A1-Red
This is such a fun little toy to keep my cats entertained. They were definitely weary about it for the first few days, but started to get used to it and play with it after a bit. I wish there was an even slower option because the slow option is still pretty fast, but at least it gets them up and moving. They will even play with the tail part when it's not turned on. Like others have said, it does collect hair pretty easily, but it's very easy to clean off. I don't have any dogs, but I could see smaller dogs loving this as well!
