Description
Brooklyn, New York: N.p., 1872. Fine.. A promotional leaflet for a "Grand National Church Fair" to be held in Brooklyn to help support the "Erection of the Bethesda Mission House, and the Founding of a Public Library and Free Reading Rooms for Mission Purposes". To be held in Brooklyn Hall, the event claims to sell tickets for one dollar each and offers prizes totaling $86,780 (approx. $2 million in 2025 dollars). The prizes are listed, and include life insurance policies, furniture, carriages, silverware, watches, Bibles, prints, oil paintings, pianos, melodeons (accordions), and even real estate, with the "1st Grand Gift" being "One Elegant House and Lot, value $12,000". Includes a brief appeal from the Rev. William C. Clark (1817-1875), discussing the fair's aim and the importance of missionary work. Folding leaflet (5.25" by 3.25" folded) with wood engraved image of the prospective church design. What makes this flyer "dubious" is an article published in the Brooklyn Eagle claiming Clark was a charlatan. The article, dated Aug. 9, 1872, reads in part: "This circular contains a great amount of pietistical twaddle ... After some inquiry, we confess to grave doubts as to whether this individual possesses the means or the credit which would warrant him in offering such an array of splendid prizes". Another article in the Brooklyn Union dated Dec. 19, 1872 reports that committee member names were used by Clark without their consent. Equally, there are newspaper articles with his obituary in 1875 confirming his status as a Reverend at a "Myrtle Street Mission" in Brooklyn, and another praising his efforts for the temperance movement. There is also a March 20, 1873 Brooklyn Daily Times article that confirms the event actually took place, albeit in a less grand fashion than promised: "The Rev. William Clark's grand lottery gift concert, over which there has been such a flurry in Brooklyn theological circles, was given Tuesday. night. Eighty thousand dollars' worth of gifts ... and over 20,000 tickets has been sold. The proceeds were to be given to Bethesda mission. After a sort of half concert and half minstrel show, the drawing was begun, and less than $1,000 worth of presents were distributed, only one of which was valued at. more than $75. There is much complaint over the swindle." The motives of Clark remain tantalizingly up in the air. At best, he executed an ill-conceived plan to raise funds for a good cause; at worst, he swindled thousands of dollars from Brooklyn residents for his own purposes.

A freak accident. One man's struggle to survive. From the author of Project Hail Mary comes "a hugely entertaining novel that reads like a rocket ship afire" (Chicago Tribune). "Brilliant . . . a celebration of human ingenuity [and] the purest example of real-science sci-fi for many years . . . utterly compelling."-The Wall Street Journal Six days ago, astronaut Mark Watney became one of the first people to walk on Mars. Now, he's sure he'll be the first person to die there. After a dust storm nearly kills him and forces his crew to evacuate while thinking him dead, Mark finds himself stranded and completely alone with no way to even signal Earth that he's alive-and even if he could get word out, his supplies would be gone long before a rescue could arrive. Chances are, though, he won't have time to starve to death. The damaged machinery, unforgiving environment, or plain-old "human error" are much more likely to kill him first. But Mark isn't ready to give up yet. Drawing on his ingenuity, his engineering skills-and a relentless, dogged refusal to quit-he steadfastly confronts one seemingly insurmountable obstacle after the next. Will his resourcefulness be enough to overcome the impossible odds against him? NAMED ONE OF PASTE'S BEST NOVELS OF THE DECADE "A hugely entertaining novel [that] reads like a rocket ship afire . . . Weir has fashioned in Mark Watney one of the most appealing, funny, and resourceful characters in recent fiction."-Chicago Tribune "As gripping as they come . . . You'll be rooting for Watney the whole way, groaning at every setback and laughing at his pitchblack humor. Utterly nail-biting and memorable."-Financial Times (Publisher).
