Description
12mo. 160 x 100 mm., 6 ½ x 3 ¾ inches). xii, 251(1) pp. 12mo, contemporary tree calf, spine gilt, red morocco label (joints very slightly rubbed, upper cover a trifle marked. Early armorial bookplate of Sir Thomas Hesketh. First edition. A lively Grub-Street poetical miscellany, edited by Matthew Concanen. Concanen was born in Ireland in 1701 began to publish poetry before the age of 20; his Match at Foot-Ball and Meliora's Tears for Thyrsis were both printed in Dublin in 1720, and then incorporated two years later into a small collection of Poems on Several Occasions (also printed in Dublin). Shortly afterwards he went to London with his friend John Sterling, and the two young men began careers as hack writers and journalists. Concanen is perhaps now best remembered for his squabbles with Alexander Pope, who was once to refer to him as "a hired scribbler." In 1732 Concanen succeeded in persuading the government to give him a post as attorney-general for Jamaica, and he performed his duties with credit; he married a planter's daughter and returned to English a rich man in 1743. Concanen remained in London until his death in 1749. This miscellany contains six poems by Concanen himself; among the other named contributors are Phanuel Bacon, Thomas Newcomb, Allan Ramsay, David Mallet, Ambrose Philips, Philip Frowde, and William Duncombe. From the anonymous poems we can identify verses by his Irish friend Patrick Delany, along with others by George Bubb Dodington and Edward Young (also attributed to Swift, cf. Foxon Y108). Some amusing titles are included here, such as "A Crambo on Ballyspellin, a Place in Ireland" "The Dangler," and "On Tearing out and Burning the Obscene Pieces in Lord Rochester's Works;" there are also a number of poems by unidentified women, and three animal fables. Several of the poems betray Concanen's Irish background, including two poetical addresses to Lord Carteret, one by Concanen himself ("occasion'd by the copper coinage"), and one by Patrick Delany. A fine copy of a scarce miscellany; O'Donoghue, p. 75; Case 367; CBEL II, 360 and 541.

Description
1939. Various authors and issuers, group of wartime pamphlets and periodicals, 1939-1945, documenting American interpretations of Japanese expansionism, prewar economic policy debates, and U.S. military operations in the Pacific Theater. The material operates in Cultural/Representational Mode, illustrating how military, governmental, and institutional publications framed Japanese imperial strategy and justified American military response, while also presenting technical and battlefield analysis intended for both military and informed civilian audiences. These works collectively offer insight into wartime messaging, strategic interpretation, and the evolving American understanding of Pacific conflict from prewar trade tensions through active combat operations. Four printed works issued between 1939 and 1945, including Shall America Stop Arming Japan? (1939); Japanese Imperialism Exposed: The Secret Tanaka Document (1942); United States Naval Institute Proceedings, Vol. 69, No. 485 (May 1943); and Makin (U.S. War Department, 1944). Staple-bound and softcover formats, illustrated with photographs, maps, charts, and technical diagrams. Shall America Stop Arming Japan? presents statistical charts detailing American exports of strategic materials, noting that Japan sourced significant percentages of copper, scrap iron, and petroleum from the United States, accompanied by arguments advocating embargo. Japanese Imperialism Exposed reproduces the controversial Tanaka Memorial, describing a proposed sequence of territorial conquest beginning with China and extending across Asia and the Pacific. Makin, issued by the War Department's Historical Division, provides a detailed narrative of the U.S. Marine assault on Makin Atoll, with photographs of tanks, infantry movement, and captured terrain, alongside fold-out maps showing defensive positions and invasion routes. United States Naval Institute Proceedings includes articles analyzing naval aviation, logistics, and strategic doctrine, with photographic illustrations of aircraft such as the XLRQ-1 seaplane glider and PV-1 Ventura patrol plane, as well as discussions of wartime and postwar naval policy. Together, these publications trace the progression of American engagement with Japan from economic and diplomatic tension to full-scale military conflict, combining advocacy, intelligence interpretation, and operational reporting. The juxtaposition of prewar policy argument with wartime combat analysis and technical discussion demonstrates the range of printed materials used to inform, persuade, and document during the Pacific War. These works support research into wartime propaganda, military strategy, and the informational frameworks through which the United States understood and prosecuted the war against Japan. Light wear to spines and edges, with minor toning to pages; overall very good condition. A cohesive grouping illustrating the intersection of policy debate, ideological framing, and battlefield documentation in World War II print culture.
