Description
Philadelphia: J.B. Lippincott, 1871. FIRST EDITION. Publisher’s cloth, author and title in gilt on spine; fly-leaf torn on the top right corner. Ownership signature and stamp. First edition. The author explores the history, effects, and consequences of opium use and addiction, as well as the use of other (evil) substances such as alcoholic beverages, weed, tobacco, coca, tea, and coffee. The hygienic aspects and pathologic relations of these substances are treated, exploring their impact on physical and mental health. Many of the substances are compared and contrasted, such as opium and alcohol, opium and tobacco, and tobacco and cocaine. The book provides a detailed analysis of the opium trade and its effects on society, including the rise of opium addiction and the social, economic, and political implications. The author also provides recommendations for the treatment of opium addiction and the prevention of substance abuse. Of particular interest is Calkins’ suggestions for legislation against the collective stimuli of these substances. Calkins described addiction as “a power subtle in its contrivings, stealthy in its approaches, dangerous as it is insidious, mischievous as it is plausible and seductive.” This statement, made not only in the book but by his declarations in various lectures he gave, basically initiated the country’s ongoing “war on drugs” which of course still continues to this day Calkins (1804-1878) was a medical doctor who took great interest in the relationship between poverty, family environment, substance abuse and crime, often commenting in various publications on the topic of addiction as a result of heredity or environmental causes.

Very good.
Description
New York: Samuel Colman, 1839. Very good.. Early edition of the book that made the Rollo series big, intended to instruct the novice American reader by combining a mature vocabulary with a lively series of animal metamorphoses and moral lessons. The hapless and ungrateful Rollo made his first cameo appearance in the rare THE LITTLE SCHOLAR LEARNING TO TALK: A Picture Book for Rollo, by His Father, reissued in 1839 as ROLLO LEARNING TO TALK. ROLLO LEARNING TO READ is thus technically the second Rollo book, but the first "devoted wholly to Rollo" (Blanck) and is the title responsible for the series's popularity and influence. 6.25'' x 4''. Original gilt-lettered blind-stamped green cloth. Illustrated with black and white frontispiece and full-page wood engravings. 180 pages. Moderate edgewear and scuffing to boards, sometimes exposing bits of board. Pencil to front free endpaper. Mild foxing throughout.

Vintage original 22 x 14" (56 x 36 cm.) window card poster, small sticker affixed to top left side, slight creasing, NEAR FINE. Elizabeth Forsythe Hailey adapted this one-woman play from her novel of the same name -- a story that unfolds over many decades about a young woman who inherits a fortune in a society in which women are expected to conform to rigid stereotypes. The play was first given in Los Angeles to critical praise in 1983. This Broadway run was very short-lived, but the play was later the basis for a very successful television mini-series starring Sally Field.
