Description
433 pages with frontispiece. Small octavo (7 1/2" x 5 1/4") bound in original publisher's blue cloth with gilt lettering to spine and cover with black design in original jacket. First edition in first state binding and second state text.Jennie Gerhardt was Theodore Dreiser's second novel and his first true commercial success. Today it is generally regarded as one of his three best novels, along with Sister Carrie and An American Tragedy. As submitted to Harper and Brothers in 1911, Jennie Gerhardt was a powerful study of a woman tragically compromised by birth and fate. Harpers agreed to publish the book but was nervous about its subject matter and moral stance. Jennie has an illegitimate child by one man and lives out of wedlock with another - but Dreiser does not condemn her for her behavior. As a requirement for publication, Harpers insisted on cutting and revising the text. Although Dreiser fought against many of the cuts and succeeded in restoring some material, Harpers shortened the text by 16,000 words and completely revised its style and tone. These changes ultimately transformed Jennie Gerhardt from a blunt, carefully documented work of social realism to a touching love story merely set against a social background. Passages critical of organized religion and of the institution of marriage were reduced and altered. Perhaps most important, Jennie's point of view - her innate romantic mysticism - was largely edited out of the text. As a consequence, the central dialectic of the novel was skewed and the narrative thrown out of balance.Condition:Cloth spine lightly sunned with some rubbing, previous owner's signatures to front blank and rear paste down. Jacket panels and spine toned and chipped, tears at jacket joints and edges else a very good copy in about a very good infrequently found jacket.

Description
Washington, 1876. 8vo, 16 pp. Some tape repairs to margins else fine, very good condition overall. Very Good. The transcript of the debates in Congress following the Hamburg Massacre, which as a seminal event in South Carolina’s history and in the use of violence as a form of voter suppression. The pamphlet here reproduces the debates in Congress in July 15th and 18th of 1876, debating whether or not to withdraw Federal troops from South Carolina and reassign them to Texas. Robert Smalls, the formerly enslaved Congressman from South Carolina’s Seventh District, was among those who spoke in favor of maintaining a troop presence in the state. The pamphlet was printed likely by the Republican National Committee to share the news of the massacre.
