Paris: J. Ant. Brosson, 1809. Second edition. 8vo. 2 engraved plates, 2 folding tables. [4], xxxii, 496 pp., half-title. Near contemporary half calf and marbled boards; rubbed, pp. 71-72 torn at bottom with loss of several words Inscribed on the half-title to dermatology pioneer Jean Louis Marc Alibert, "de la part de l'Auteur" (the inscription is slightly shaved). "In this entirely recast and greatly enlarged second edition, Pinel adds much new material and discusses the results of new and more humane methods of treatment for the insane" (Heirs of Hippocrates). "Pinel founded the French School of Psychiatry. He was among the first to treat the insane humanely; he dispensed with chains and placed his patients under the care of specially selected physicians. Garrison considered the above book one of the foremost medical classics, giving as it did a great impetus to humanitarian treatment of the insane.…The second French edition, Paris, Brosson, 1809 was very substantially enlarged by Pinel" (Garrison-Morton).

Description
Seventeen numbers in 16 issues comprising a complete run. Additional supplement to no. 14. Text in French. Printed multiple colors, illustrated throughout. Folio. Very good. folded broadsheet format. [1875] Militant-leftist, post-'68 underground French newspaper, most notable for having Jean-Paul Sartre on the masthead as "Director of Publication." A note from Sartre in issue 1 explains: "I agreed to direct 'ce que nous voulons: TOUT' just as I agreed, last April, to direct 'La Cause du Peuple' of which I am still director. These two newspapers do not agree on many points, and I personally do not necessarily agree with everything that can be read in them. That is not the question: the infamous and ridiculous lawsuits that the government levels, through a court of exception, against the vendors of 'La Cause du Peuple' show that the ruling class intends to quickly suppress any revolutionary press. To better strike those who challenge it, the bourgeoisie does not hesitate to violate its own laws; there is therefore an urgent political struggle to be waged at this level. Since I have not been indicted in the trials now taking place, I make myself available to any revolutionary newspaper in order to force the bourgeois class to make a political trial of me, the object of which will clearly, this time, be the freedom of the press, or to unmask, by their not indicting me, the illegality of the repression." Other notable features of the publication include frequent solidarity with global antiracist and freedom struggles, including with the Black Panthers and Young Lords in the US, as well as Palestinians; and its overall hippie-counterculture aesthetic, exemplified in one case by a front-page illustration by R. Crumb. Overall a visually and politically compelling periodical of its time, elevated by Sartre's involvement, and very scarce as a complete run.

Excellent to near fine.
Description
Sing Sing (Ossining), New York, unknown year. Three approximately 8 x 10 inch pages. Excellent to near fine.. An illustrated poem from an unknown sender to Miss Cornelia Marshall in Sing Sing, New York. Sing Sing was the name of Ossining—which is home to the eponymous prison—until 1901. It was named for the Sint Sinck (Wappinger) people, whose traditional territory lay east of the Hudson River in what is now Westchester County. The poem is chastely flirtatious, telling the story of a man at church services who is so distracted by the beauty of one of the women in the church choir that he cannot report on the subject of that day’s sermon. The author describes the woman, who wears a blue cloak: “Her beauty’s so great that it looked like the sun/ Or five handsome ladies all rolled into one”. The illustrations appear to be ink and watercolor. A sweet piece, of interest to folk art historians.

Description
Hartline, Wa: E.D. Reinhart, 1910. Good plus.. Large format sepia-toned albumen photograph, 6.25 x 8.25 inches on a slightly larger gray studio mat stamped "E.D. Reinhart Hartline, Wash." at lower middle. Small abrasions and scratches to mat above the photograph, one small scratch to right side of image, minor rubbing, moderate edge wear. A handsome photograph showing four farmers sowing wheat in a barren landscape near Hartline, Washington in the early-20th century. Each farmer stands atop a seed drill pulled by a team of horses (or a combination of horses and mules) fanned out in front of the drivers. The photographer, E.D. Reinhart, seems to have been an obscure producer, as records on him are scant to nothing, with no listings in OCLC nor any results from newspaper or census inquiries. A perhaps unique image of agricultural history from Washington State.

Very Good
Description
1973. Ephemera. Very Good. Wonderful handmade book on the reaction of the public to the 1973 opening of the Sears Tower in Chicago. Hand-drawn illustrations and handwritten captions, all done by one anonymous, clearly talented artist/author, who seemed to exactly capture the times in his simple narrative. Very clean and crisp, with a bit of light soiling to one or two pages. The rear of each sheet shows glue (where the separate pages were glued into a book?). Consists of 7 separate sheets, each measuring 5 1/2" wide x 8" tall, with 2 additional smaller sheets. These additional sheets seem to be incomplete and suggest the book may be missing one or two panels. Even still though, utterly charming and very ephemeral.
