Title: FIRST WILL & TESTAMENT
Author: [AUDEN, W. H.] PATCHEN, Kenneth
Seller: Charles Agvent, ABAA (United States)
Condition: Backstrip darkened, a few nicks in the cloth. Very Good, lacking the dustwrapper
Description: New York: New Directions, (1939). First Edition. Hardcover. Backstrip darkened, a few nicks in the cloth. Very Good, lacking the dustwrapper. Patchen's second book, consisting of 800 copies, this copy INSCRIBED "with respect and admiration" for W. H. Auden on 10 May 1940 and SIGNED by Patchen. Patchen's first book brought him much acclaim including comparisons to Auden, unlikely as that might seem now. Among Patchen's accomplishments was the initiation of the poetry-and-jazz movement in the late 1950s. Although Auden never seems to have figured in an important way in Patchen's life, the elder poet did take part in a benefit for Patchen two decades after being presented with this book. A truly important presentation copy.

Title: [PRINTED CORRESPONDENCE BETWEEN BEVERLEY ALLEN, ESQ., A MEMBER OF THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY, AND OTHER MEMBERS OF THE CONVENTION WHICH FORMED THE CONSTITUTION OF MISSOURI]
Author: [Allen, Beverley]
Seller: David M. Lesser, Fine Antiquarian Books LLC (United States)
Description: Jefferson City, Missouri, 1841. 15, [1 blank] pp. Disbound and lightly foxed, else Very Good. The Correspondence is prefaced by a transmittal letter from Missouri Secretary of State James L. Minor. Seeking to resolve the vexing problem of the location of Missouri's northern boundary, Allen has "addressed a circular to each of the members, now living, of the Convention which formed the Constitution of this State. My object is to ascertain of them their information as to the opinions and intention of the Convention, as to the phrase in the Constitution, on which has arisen the dispute respecting our Northern boundary." The troublesome constitutional phrase is a reference to the meridian "which passes through the Rapids of the River Des Moines..." Several living members plead a "very indistinct recollection." But Edward Bates, later Lincoln's Attorney General and the State of Missouri's first Attorney General in 1820, gives a clear and direct answer; John D. Cook's and John Scott's replies agree with Bates. MO Imprints Inventory 289. OCLC records six locations under two accession numbers as of October 2024.

Title: 19th Century Women's Health American Journal of Obstetrics: Oneida NY Study, 1884
Author: Obstetrics and Diseases of Women
Seller: Max Rambod Inc. (United States)
Description: 1884. Mundé, Paul F., ed. The American Journal of Obstetrics and Diseases of Women and Children (August 1884) documents late nineteenth-century medical approaches to women's health, reproduction, and social organization, including a significant clinical study of the Oneida Community. This issue supports research into the history of gynecology, medicalized interpretations of alternative social systems, and the intersection of reproductive science with utopian communal experiments in the United States. Appearing in the postbellum period of expanding professional medicine, the journal situates women's bodies within emerging clinical frameworks while also engaging with controversial social practices such as communal marriage and controlled reproduction. Mundé, Paul F., ed. The American Journal of Obstetrics and Diseases of Women and Children. New York: William Wood & Company, August 1884. Vol. XVII, No. 8. Octavo. Original printed blue paper wrappers. The issue includes the article "A Gynecological Study of the Oneida Community" by Ely Van de Warker, M.D., which examines the reproductive and social practices of the Oneida Community, known for its system of "complex marriage" and regulated procreation. The Oneida Community was a Christian perfectionist communal society founded by John Humphrey Noyes and his followers in 1848 near Oneida, New York. It was a utopian religious community dedicated to living as one family, sharing all property, work, and love, and is recognized as one of the longest-lasting communal experiments of the 19th centuryAdditional contents include original medical articles, society proceedings, reviews, and abstracts printed in double-column format on wove paper. The front wrapper presents the journal title, editorial staff, subscription pricing, and a list of European collaborators within a decorative border, while the rear wrapper features a full-page advertisement for "Imperial Granum," illustrated with engraved portraits of children and promotional text. Interior pages are continuously paginated [pp. 801-872], with publisher advertisements at the front. Single issue. Original printed wrappers. Octavo format (approximately 9 x 6 inches). Wrappers clean and bright with a few small circular stains and light soiling, minor corner wear, and short splits at spine ends; spine lightly rubbed but legible; interior lightly age-toned at edges and otherwise clean and sound; overall good condition. Issued during a period when medical professionals increasingly analyzed and categorized alternative social arrangements through clinical frameworks, this issue provides direct evidence of how nineteenth-century gynecology engaged with experimental communities, offering value for the study of women's health, reproductive history, and the medical interpretation of social reform movements.
