Description
From the Bart Auerbach Collection. 1) "The Time Has Come," the Walrus Said, "To Talk of Many Things". [East Aurora, NY: Elbert Hubbard, 1895]. 8 pages, 9 x 6 1/4 inches, large illustration by Collin on the front cover, stitched with red thread (first and last leaves separated along spine). The program of a dinner given by the Society of the Philistines, Thursday evening, December 19, 1895, in honor of Stephen Crane, signed in pencil at top of first text leaf "Stephen Crane. 19 – 94." The signature compares very favorably with assured examples, though it is unclear what the "19 - 94" connotes (the 19th was the date of the dinner, though it was in 1895). The back wrapper contains the first appearance of a poem by Crane, “ ‘I have heard the sunset song of the birds. ” ” Four pages of this leaflet contain quotations from telegrams and/or letters from various authors, etc., including Ambrose Bierce, W. D. Howells, Hamlin Garland, expressing regret at not being able to attend the dinner,---probably the only appearance in print of these passages. Very rare. BAL 4072. 2. "The Members of the Society of the Philistines Very Cordially Request the Honor of Your Presence to Meet Mr. Stephen Crane at Dinner in East Aurora New York Thursday Evening December 19th Eighteen Hundred and Ninety Five." [East Aurora: Elbert Hubbard, 1895]. 7 x 4 1/2 inches, printed folded outer wrapper, bifolium loose as issued inside containing the text of the invitation to Crane and his reply. Not in BAL. Rare. Both items (along with the third printed piece Hubbard created for the occasion) are discussed in detail by Stallman, pp. 242-243.

Description
London: Soviet News, 1950. First Edition. Very good. First edition; 6 1/2 x 4; pp. 3-18, [1]; off-white wraps, printed in black; mild age-toning to margins and minor wear to edges; very good condition. In 1950, the possibility of another world war frightened Europe and the World Peace Council was established, partly in response to that fear. A World Peace Congress was scheduled for November of that year, to take place in Sheffield, England, but was later shifted to Warsaw, Poland. The two speeches in the current booklet were given by author and co-founder of the Union of Soviet Writers Aleksandr Fadeev (1901 - 1956) and journalist, historian and revolutionary Ilia Ehrenburg (1891 - 1967). Some of the subjects they touched on included the role of the United Nations Organization, the then present horrors in Korea, the confidence in the future, etc.
