Description
[N.p., likely Harlem, 1970. Good.. Illustrated broadside, 11 x 8.5 inches. Old folds, minor chipping and several old tape repairs to edges, moderate toning, light soiling. An undated but certainly early flyer advertising a "Solemn March" in celebration of Malcolm X Commemoration Day in Harlem in the late-1960s. The work includes a hand-drawn portrait of Malcolm X at lower left, with a long list of over twenty sponsors for the march printed at right. Malcolm is identified in two locations by his Muslim name, El Haji Malik El Shabazz, and honored as "The Prince of Our Black Captive Non-Self Governing People." The sponsors include the NAACP, Yoruba Temple, CORE, Organization of Afro-American Unity, Urban League, SNCC, Negro Labor Committee, Harlem Defense Council, United African Nationalists Movements, the World Federation of African People, Inc., and more. The flyer was designed by Art Scott and prepared by Awareness Advertising. The march was scheduled on February 20, to begin at the corner of 110th Street and Lenox Avenue in Harlem. A highly-ephemeral handbill celebrating the memory of Malcolm X; we could find no other examples of this attractive flyer anywhere.

Description
[New York Superior Court of New York, 1833.] First edition. Printed paper self-wrappers. . 5 x 8 in. . Toning to first and last leaf at spine. Splitting at spine. Contemporary ink ownership signature to top margin of first page. Some foxing and dustsoiling. A good copy of a fragile and uncommon item. Mary Carew and her sister Nancy van Haun were employed as servants in the home of Silas E. Burrows, "an eminent and wealthy merchant." Van Haun was the plaintiff in the case, but it was Carew whose "illicit amours" with Burrows in the summer of 1833 resulted in her pregnancy. During the trial, it was revealed that Burrows had refused to financially support Carew during her pregnancy, and that he had previously broken off an engagement to Carew's younger sister Henrietta. The case was sensational, and, on the day of the trial, the courtroom was packed with onlookers: "Perhaps on no similar occasion in this country has such an immense number of persons assembled, as were gathered together on this occasion…[T]here were not less than three thousand persons in court," (p. 20). Though throngs of people were also present to hear the verdict the day after the trial concluded, the court could not reach a conclusion and a re-trial was scheduled.

Description
[Philadelphia, 1800. 21, [1 blank] pp, disbound. A few light fox spots, Very Good. Evans incorrectly dated this item as 1798; the printed date '28th April, 1800' appears on page 19. Verdier claims that his certificates of registered debt, owed by the United States to him, "were erroneously paid to Robert Morris." Verdier was awarded the certificates for services rendered in the Revolution as a Captain in Colonel Armand's legion. The Committee, examining the supporting documentation printed here, concludes that Verdier is correct and that Morris ought not to have converted the certificates. Moreover, "the United States should seek their remedy upon the bond executed for their indemnity by the said Robert Morris." Morris vigorously proclaims his lack of culpability. Evans 38842.

Description
Berkeley/Oakland: TOCSIN Inc. / Charles Fox, 1964. Newsletter. Singleton issue of the weekly, no photos this number. As with other numbers presswork is on semi-glazed alkaline paperstock, folded twice for mailing, slight edgewear, a hint of toning. Good clean copy unmarked except for the mailing address. Subjects touched on are Koreanization of Vietnam, Carlton Goodlett's magnificent press statement, a variety of the local CPUSA are getting federal jobs and benign press attention, and more, including a child in a US Army hospital needing get-well cards. The Goodlett material quotes 175 words of his public statement ("We're Forging a Technique") and cites a dozen or so of his left credentials. The newsletter was begun in June 1961 to expose the Red conspiracy behind the burgeoning student movement and the greater New Left, particularly in the San Francisco Bay Area and at UC Berkeley, from Free Speech Movement to anti-Vietnam War activism and Black Power struggles of later years. Tocsin delved into its mission passionately, illustrating many issues with B&W surveillance photos taken on the site of rallies or teach-ins, naming names and tracing real or imagined Communist lineages, family connections, factional shifts, etc. Despite its blatant slant, no comparably systemic chronicle of local activists and their associations is available in Left publications from the period.
