Description
Natchez, Ms: July 22, 1865. Very good.. Broadside, 13.75 x 9.5 inches. Printed in three columns. Moderate toning and foxing, old folds, couple of small tears expertly repaired on verso, two tape remnants at top edge likely from previous matting. A very rare newspaper extra printing the first civilian law in Occupied Mississippi following the conclusion of the Civil War. After the war, only military justice was in force in Mississippi. According to an 1866 Mississippi court case: "civil government of the State having been subverted, and all power having passed into the hands of the authorities of the United States, the question whether any, and what, civil government should be permitted, was a matter in the discretion of those authorities. During this military occupation, the laws of the State could only operate so far as they chose to allow, and could only be administered by such agents as they pleased to appoint." On June 13, 1865, President Andrew Johnson appointed William Lewis Sharkey (1789-1873) -- a Mississippi judge and staunch Unionist who opposed secession -- as the state's provisional governor. His first public act was to appoint judges and clerks to probate courts, as well as appoint police, justices of the peace, and other country officers, and authorized them to immediately begin to discharge their duties, but excluded any orders regarding circuit and chancery courts. Two days later, on July 3, Sharkey ordered the first civilian law to be operative, which is published in the present broadside newspaper extra by the Natchez Courier. Sharkey's transmittal at the top begins: "Ordered. That the act in regard to the action of replevin, and the amendments thereto passed by the legislature of Mississippi, since the 9th day of January, 1861, be and the same is hereby declared to be in full force from this date." The text of the act, in twenty-six sections, is then printed, beginning: "The Replevin Act. An Act to provide for the speedy recovery of personal property wrongfully taken or detained." Somewhat oddly at the time, this was the only civilian law in effect in Mississippi in the summer of 1865. According to the same 1866 court case excerpted above, which explains the issues inherent in the issuance of the Replevin Law and Sharkey's organization of county probate courts, "in all cases of the wrongful taking or detention of personal property, a summary remedy by action of replevin before two justices of the peace, was given to the party injured, to recover the property and damages for the wrongful taking or detention. This was the only court created by the governor for the adjudication of legal rights; and these are the only cases committed to its jurisdiction; leaving all the rest of the immense mass of legal rights wholly without any redress." OCLC and other newspaper sources reveal just a single mutilated copy of the present broadside, at the American Antiquarian Society. A fantastic broadside dealing with Mississippi law at the outset of Reconstruction. Scott v. Bilgerry, April Term, 1866, in Reports of Cases Argued and Determined in the High Court of Errors and Appeals for the State of Mississippi. Vol. XL. (New York: Bank Brothers, 1867), pp. 119-157.

Description
[Kansas City, Mo, 1899. Very good.. Ten carte-de-visite photographs, 4 x 2.5 inches or slightly smaller, on thick cardboard mounts, four with partially-printed "rap sheets" on verso, completed in manuscript. Occasional edge and surface wear, as well as generally light dust-soiling. A nice group. A group of ten fabulous mugshot photographs or studio portraits featuring criminals in the last few years of the 1800s in Kansas City, Missouri. Four of the photographs are particularly interesting for the personal and criminal history information recorded on their versos. These photographs are pre-printed with a list of fields to be filled out by the criminal or perhaps the jailer. The combination of fields varies slightly on three of the four cards, but generally they all ask for similar information, including name; aliases, nationality, age, height, weight, eye color, hair color, complexion, occupation (or "Criminal Occupation"), the pertinent crime, place of arrest, arresting officer, date, date of arrest, and distinguishing marks (or "Peculiarities of Build, Features, Scars, Marks, etc."). One of the mugshots is that of James Carrington Francis (1869-1892). At the bottom of his card is written: "Killed at Pleasanton KS for Pacific Ex Robbery Jan. 23, '92." Francis had indeed taken part in the robbery of the Frisco Express out of St. Louis on the night of November 30, 1891. During the robbery, two masked men boarded that train as it was leaving St. Louis. They remained in seclusion until they had traveled a few miles, and then presented pistols to the heads of the engineer and fireman. They ordered them to stop at the point where two accomplices of the highwaymen were stationed. The engineer and fireman were then ordered from the cab and kept covered while the party proceeded to the express car, where the robbers demanded admission, but were refused by the messenger. The robbers then set off a stick of dynamite and blew in the side of the car, seriously injuring the messenger. They then entered, blew open the safe, and after taking $10,000, made their escape. The Pinkerton Detective Agency and Chief of Detectives Desmond of St. Louis investigated the case and gathered evidence which convinced them that the robbers were Marion Hedgepeth, Dink Wilson, Adelbert Slye, and James Francis. The other three men whose photographs are supplemented with personal information include Frank Norris, Patrick Raine, and George Conley. Oddly enough, the crimes of all four men are not stipulated on the present photographs. Norris was a baker by trade with a scar on the palm of his hand and a "knuckle knocked down" who was arrested on October 5, 1895. Patrick Raine was a waiter with a forearm tattoo and "2 vax scars on left arm" arrested on January 24, 1899. George Conley (alias George Baker or George King) was a brakeman arrested on July 12, 1897. The remaining photographs do not include identifying information (save for two with penciled names on the verso and one with a studio stamp from J.V. Dabbs in Fort Scott, Kansas) but were found with the previous four photographs, and would likely reward further research into the Wild West criminal world of late-19th century Kansas.

Half titles are present. Perhaps the author's best book. Orwell was among those who praised it and the author. The book is filled with insights into the publishing game, writers, and others who populated the trade. It is a cynical tale, disabusing the reader of any idealism normally associated with writing: "Putting aside men of genius, who may succeed by mere cosmic force, your successful man of letters is your skillful tradesman. He thinks first and foremost of the markets; when one kind of goods begins to go off slackly, he is ready with something new and appetizing." Sadleir #971; Wolff #2522; Collie IXa.

American geneticist Sewall Wright (1889-1988) was a major figure in population genetics. His best-known contribution to the field is "shifting balance theory," explained by James F. Crow thusly: "the best opportunity for evolutionary progress is afforded by a large population comprising many partially isolated local groups. Within each group a certain amount of trial and error experimentation can take place, and successful combinations can spread throughout the population. Although the theory remains controversial, it has been very popular and influential in the biological community.

Boards lightly soiled, endpapers soiled, ink note and ink drawing on frontispiece recto, ink marks on rear endpaper. 1918 Hard Cover. 79 pp. Black-and-white frontispiece of Clara Barton, black-and-white plates. Clara Barton (born Dec. 25, 1821, Oxford, Mass., U.S.—died April 12, 1912, Glen Echo, Md.) was the founder of the American Red Cross. Barton was educated at home and began teaching at age 15. She attended the Liberal Institute at Clinton, N.Y. (1850–51). In 1852 in Bordentown, N.J., she established a free school that soon became so large that the townsmen would no longer allow a woman to run it. Rather than subordinate herself to a male principal, Barton resigned. She was then employed by the U.S. Patent Office in Washington, D.C., from 1854 to 1857 and again in 1860.

Description
Osprey Publishing, 2008. Octavo, softbound (stiff, photo. illus. blue & white wrappers), 63 pp. Fine. From lower cover: The German deployment of missiles in 1943-44 required new thinking about the best way to defend their expensive and complicated launch sites. Based on the favorable experience of protecting U-boat pens on the Atlantic coast, Hitler initially ordered the construction of massive bunkers from which to launch V-1 cruise and V-2 ballistic missiles against London. This book detailes the configuration and planned deployment of these heavy missile sites, as well as the unique Allied tactics to deal with this threat. It also includes the famous V-1 ski sites so prominent in the French countryside, even today, as well as the mobile basing of the V-2. Illustrated with full color artwork, photographs, unrivaled detail, color maps.
