Title: I-W MEM-O-RE at Middletown Conn
Author: [Conscientious Objectors]. [Connecticut]
Seller: McBride Rare Books (United States)
Condition: Very good.
Description: Middletown, Ct, 1955. Very good.. 32pp. Spiral bound small folio. Illustrated with numerous black-and-white photo reproductions. Minor wear. A remembrance book produced by a group of conscientious objectors (COs) who worked at the Connecticut State Hospital mental hospital instead of joining the armed forces. In the introduction, they wrote: “Though it is true we have not gone out of the battle fronts of war, we sincerely desire that we may have served our God and our nation well by enlisting in the battle against disease and suffering, in the name of Christ.” Assistant Superintendent H.S. Whiting, M.D. commented in the booklet that the COs played an important role: “One of the most important, and perhaps least understood, elements in the treatment of mental patients is the role of interpersonal relations in this environment…The group for which this is written has, in my judgement, filled this role unusually well.” The booklet includes biographies and photographs of the COs who served as psychiatric aides at the hospital. Several are pictured with their wives who served with them, and there are also photographs of 12 children born between 1952 and 1955, the years the unit served in Middletown. This booklet was originally owned by Landis E. Burkholder, whose name is written on the verso of the cover. At the time of his induction, he was a 21-year-old machine operator and member of the Indiantown Mennonite Church in Pennsylvania. Throughout World War II, the Civilian Public Service (CPS) provided conscientious objectors an alternative to military service. It was disbanded in 1947 even though conscription continued until 1973. By the early 1950s a replacement program, 1-W service, was in place for conscientious objectors and mostly involved working in institutions such as hospitals. The Connecticut State Hospital was founded in 1868 to treat the mentally insane. Now called the Connecticut Valley Hospital, it remains a state facility that specializes in the treatment of mental illness and addiction. A scarce publication; OCLC locates copies at Eastern Mennonite University and the Mennonite History Library in Indiana.

Title: Mon Frere Yves
Author: Loti, Pierre; Dufour, D'Emilien (Illustrations)
Seller: Swan's Fine Books (United States)
Condition: Near Fine
Description: n.p.: Calmann-Levy, 1936. Hardcover. Near Fine. Dufour, D'Emilien. Quarto size, 289 pp., all text in French. Pierre Loti, the pseudonym of Julien Viaud (1850-1923) was educated to be a naval officer, gradually rising in his profession until attaining the rank of captain in 1906. His life at sea, among seafaring men, inspired this and many of his other stories. Contemporary critic Edmund Gosse said of Loti: "At his best [he] was unquestionably the finest descriptive writer of the day" (n.b., above information from Wiki). Mon Frere Yves is perhaps Pierre Loti's best-known work, a semi-autobiographical novel describing the friendship between French naval officer Pierre Loti and a hard drinking Breton sailor, Yves Kermadec, during the 1870s and 80s - the descriptions of Breton seafaring life, on board ship and on shore, set the tone for his later masterpiece An Iceland Fisherman (1886). Originally published in wraps, this volume has been bound as a hardcover book, with the front wrapper serving as a front pastedown. ___DESCRIPTION: Bound in full red cloth over boards, illustrated front pastedown in red and black, red and black lettering, gilt lettering on the spine, title page in red and black with a small vignette of a house in a field, many signatures unopened, several colour illustrations throughout with some retaining the original tissue guards; quarto size (9 1/4" by 7 1/8"), pagination: [i-vi] 1-282, [limitation page]. ___CONDITION: Near fine overall, with clean binding, straight corners without rubbing, a strong, square text block with solid hinges, the interior is clean and bright, and entirely free of prior owner markings; some light soil to the front pastedown, else fine. ___POSTAGE: International customers, please note that additional postage may apply, please contact seller for details. ___Swan's Fine Books is pleased to be a member of the ABAA, ILAB and IOBA and we stand behind every book we sell.
