Title: Poems
Author: [Hemingway, Ernest]. Eliot, T. S. (Thomas Stearns)
Seller: B & B Rare Books, Ltd., ABAA (United States)
Condition: Very Good
Description: New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 1927 Second American edition (first edition published in 1920). Presentation copy, signed by Hemingway on front free endpaper, with "Hemingway" in Hemingway's hand; the first part of the inscription "7/28 - 1928" / From Ernest" is in another hand, likely the recipient, Hemingway's cousin Ruth White Lowry, whose ownership inscription tops the same page. Blue cloth-backed patterned cream boards printed in blue and green; lacking the original dust jacket. About very good, with light rubbing to front spine joint, titles on spine almost completely faded, some light staining to upper edges of boards with some pages mildly affected, toning to edges, and corners rubbed to boards. Overall, an excellent association copy. From the personal library of Hemingway's cousin, Ruth White Lowry. [bib] Poems is T. S. Eliot's second volume of poetry, published three years after his debut volume, Prufrock and Other Observations (1917). Poems contains new work such as "Gerontion," "The Hippopotamus," "Whispers of Immortality," and "Sweeney Among the Nightingales," as well as poems from Prufrock, including "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock," "Portrait of a Lady," and "La Figlia Che Pianga." T. S. Eliot (1888 - 1965) is recognized as perhaps the greatest modernist poet, whose groundbreaking works "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock," The Waste Land (1922), and Four Quartets (1936 - 1942) had a seismic impact on the literary landscape. Eliot was also extremely influential as a literary critic, having changed the lens through which poetry was viewed and understood with essays like "Tradition and the Individual Talent" (1919). In 1948, he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature. Ernest Hemingway never met T. S. Eliot, yet he returned to the poet continually throughout his career, both to mock and draw literary inspiration from him. Both writers were "discovered" and mentored by Ezra Pound, who had a remarkably discerning eye for literary greatness (Pound also helped nurture the talents of James Joyce, Robert Frost, and H.D.). In 1922, Pound brought Eliot's The Waste Land to Hemingway's attention and provided him with special insight into the poem's autobiographical foundations. While Hemingway respected Eliot's ability as a poet, he often disparaged Eliot as a person, mocking him for his effete character. His ambivalent feelings toward Eliot can be summed in a line from a 1950 letter he wrote to his friend Harvey Breit, "[Eliot's] a damned good poet and a fair critic; but he can kiss my ass as a man and he never hit a ball out of the infield in his life." (the latter remark was a reference to Yogi Berra, who, like Eliot, was from St. Louis). It has been theorized that Hemingway's short story, "Mr. and Mrs. Elliot," was a jab at T. S. Eliot and his wife, deriding their sexual relationship. In the essay "Ernest Hemingway and T. S. Eliot: A Tangled Relationship" (2012), J. M. Flora explores Hemingway's complex feelings towards Eliot, noting thinly veiled critiques that Hemingway made about Eliot in some of his works, including Death in the Afternoon (1932) and A Moveable Feast (1964), while pointing out the clear influence of Eliot's poetry, particularly The Waste Land (1922), in sections of The Sun Also Rises (1926), Green Hills of Africa (1935), Across the River and Into the Trees (1950), and Hemingway's short story "Hills Like White Elephants" (1927). Flora writes, "[Hemingway] became adept at mocking the poet. Regardless, he continued to read, to ponder, and to remember Eliot's poetry and his criticism. Hemingway became Eliot's irreverent disciple." This copy of Poems was dated July 28, 1928 by Ruth White Lowry, one month after Ernest and Pauline's second child, Patrick, was born at the Lowry home outside Kansas City. The couple stayed at Ernest's Aunt Arabell's home in Mission Hills leading up to the birth, before moving to Ruth's and her husband Malcolm's home because of tension between Ernest and Arabell. Around the time that this copy was dated, Hemingway was likely at the Folly Ranch in Sheridan, Wyoming, working intensely on A Farewell to Arms. . Signed. Second American Edition. Hard Cover. Very Good.

Title: Dwight D. Eisenhower Endorses the Boy Scouts, Saying They “have done so much for American youth and for the entire nation”
Author: Dwight D. Eisenhower
Seller: The Raab Collection (United States)
Description: 6/1/46. Dwight D. Eisenhower became a member of the National Executive Board of the Boy Scouts of America in 1948, but had been a staunch supporter of Scouting ever since his son was a Scout in the 1930s. He would say that “The Boy Scout movement merits the unstinted support of every American who wants to make his country and his world a better place in which to live. Its emphasis on community service and tolerance and world friendship promotes a speedier attainment of the enduring peace among men for which we all strive. By developing among its members both a spirit of sturdiness, self-reliance, and a realization of the need for cooperative effort in every major enterprise, the movement is a prime force in preparing tomorrow’s men for their duty to themselves, their country, and their world.”Charles D. Hart, was a Philadelphia physician best known for the important contributions he made to the Boy Scouts over the course of four decades. In 1946, Hart was Honorary President of the Philadelphia Council of the Boy Scouts of America.Typed letter signed, on his War Department Chief of Staff letterhead, January 6, 1946, to Dr. Hart, responding to Hart’s request for a comment about the Boy Scouts. “Thank you for your letter my photograph and a letter for the Boy Scouts of the Philadelphia Council. I am always glad to endorse the Boy Scouts, who have done so much for American youth and for the entire nation. I have just sent a statement expressing my high opinion of the Scouts to the national headquarters. A copy of the statement is attached. Please assure the officials and boys of the Philadelphia Council of my continued interest in their success…”This is a wonderful sentiment, evocative of the many contributions the Boy Scouts have made and Ike’s belief in them.

Title: [An Explanation of Dassier's Medals of the Sovereigns of England]
Author: [Dassier, Jean]
Seller: Whitmore Rare Books (United States)
Description: N.P., 1797. Bound in late eighteenth-century full red roan. Covers with gilt single fillet border, smooth spine ruled in gilt, board edges and turn-ins decoratively tooled in gilt, all edges gilt, marbled endpapers. Blank book, interleaved and with thirty-three leaves with sixty-six mounted engravings (front and back of each medal), including thirty-one medals by Jean Dassier of the Sovereigns of England from William I to George II, including Oliver Cromwell (without the medals of the medals for Richard III, Henry VII, and Henry VIII), as well as medals of George III (by Lewis Pingo) and Queen Charlotte (by John Kirk). A fascinating collection. "Having being presented to Queen Caroline, perhaps through the good offices of Wake, Dassier set out proposals for a set of thirty-three medals of English sovereigns from William I to George II, to whom the series was dedicated. Based on engravings by George Vertue for Paul Rapin de Thoyras's History of England, these were advertised in the prospectus published in 1730 for purchase by subscription at 6 guineas for sets in copper and at 15 guineas for silver. During his second stay in England Dassier also planned, according to Vertue, to engrave many remarkable persons noted for great Actions in the government of this nation in Times passd. and learned men of all degrees lately or formerly or of the present time which he proposes to grave at his own expense. Medals of Milton, Bacon, and Selden were included in this set. Together these two medallic series belong to those series of historicizing portraits in different media that were being formulated at Stowe and elsewhere during the 1730s to represent figures from the national past" (ODNB). These engravings are most likely cut from An Explanation of Dassier's Medals of the Sovereigns of England, a series of six engraved plates of the Kings and Queens of England, by Pye, c. 1773, the final plate with additional medals of George III and Queen Charlotte, followed by 7 pages of explanatory text, reduced landscape folio.

Title: Spring in New Hampshire
Author: MCKAY Claude
Seller: Bauman Rare Books (United States)
Description: 1920. First Edition. MCKAY, Claude. Spring in New Hampshire and Other Poems. London: Grant Richards, 1920. Slim octavo, original tan wrappers, original front cover label, uncut and unopened; pp. 40. $1500.First edition of McKay's seminal volume of 31 poems including iconic works such as Harlem Dancer and The Lynching, published in London shortly before his return to America as a leader of the Harlem Renaissance, with frontispiece portrait, uncut and unopened in fragile original wrappers.McKay's work is at the core of the Harlem Renaissance, where he gave ""early expression to themes that have since figured prominently in black American writing."" The Jamaican-born McKay published two volumes of poetry before he moved to the United States in 1912 and arrived in New York in 1914. After a brief return to Jamaica, he left for England in 1919. There he published Spring in New Hampshire before returning to America. This signal volume of 31 major poems, including ""Harlem Dancer,"" ""The Lynching,"" ""In Bondage"" and""Harlem Shadows,"" contains ""the best poetry he had written since leaving Jamaica verses of love, lost innocence and nostalgia for Jamaica alternated with poems in which McKay expressed anger, alienation and rebellion against the racial oppression he had faced""(Cooper, Claude McKay, 132).Here ""McKay's affection for the sonnet, the 'little song' of 14 lines his grand style favored,"" stands out, affirming his influential view of ""the sonnet as an exceptionally transnational poetic design In McKay's conception it ranked as a fellow vagabond equipped with centuries of worldly advice on living through the century of the color line. For him, the sonnet's thousand preceding voices whispered lessons for the emergence of black literary modernism"" (Maxwell, ed., Complete Poems, xxxiv-vi). His sonnets are an elemental bridge between the ""formally conventional critiques of racism offered by Phillis Wheatley, Frances E.W. Harper, James Corrothers and Paul Laurence Dunbar and the radically thematic and experimental affronts of those who came after him. Linking the past with the present, the old with the new, McKay's Harlem poetry adds another dimension to our understanding of the complicated ways in which race, modernity and modernism intersect"" (Hathaway et al., Race and Modern Artist, 64). With preface by I.A. Richards dated in print ""September, 1920."" All but five of the 31 poems here were reprinted in full in Harlem Shadows (1922), with ""The Choice"" (37) reprinted there as ""The Wild Goat"" (Hathaway, 57n). ""Love Song,"" ""Reminiscences,"" ""Sukee River""(second version) appeared in Cambridge Magazine (Summer 1920); ""Harlem Dancer"" appeared in Seven Arts under an alias (1917), with other select poems appearing in Pearson's and The Liberator. Blockson 6467. Interior very fresh with mere trace of foxing. Highly desirable uncut and entirely unopened in original wrappers. A fine copy.

Seller: Michael Brown Rare Books, LLC (United States)
Description: octavo, 3 pages, plus retained mailing envelope, in very good, clean and legible condition. 1863 Physicist Robert Millikan's Oberlin College teacher. "Dear Bro Merrill, …I have had four hours teaching to do for the last few weeks on account of the teachers department. Besides this, every fair day, which has been every day nearly for a fortnight, I have spent the whole afternoon with squads of Sophomores or 2d yr Ladies in the field with surveying instruments…Our endowment is progressing. Mr. [Stricklin?] finally entered upon it two weeks since and in a few days raised $25000. I have not heard what he has done since…A gentleman in Mass. has given $4000 to add $200 to every man's salary for the year! Quite a Providential succor..." Founded in the 1830s, Oberlin College was nationally famous for its support of progressive causes, including anti-slavery and higher education for women. Charles H. Churchill began teaching there in 1858 as Professor of Mathematics, Physics and Astronomy until his retirement in 1897. One of his notable students was African-American Nathan B. Young, who remembered his mentor as a "versatile profound scholar" whose "laboratory was a workshop in which many a students found guidance and inspiration to become a scientist." More renowned, but less laudatory was student Robert Millikan, the later Nobel Physicist, who graduated from Oberlin in 1891. He found Churchill's classes "worthless", but regarded the Professor as "an excellent personal model for young men." E.H. Merrill was President of Ripon College in Wisconsin, where he taught "Mental and Moral Science"
