Description
1897. First Edition. MARX, Karl. The Eastern Question. A Reprint of Letters Written 1853-56 Dealing with the Events of the Crimean War. London: Swan Sonnenschein, 1897. Thick octavo, original purple-brown cloth. $1500.First edition of this collection of Marx letters related to the Crimean War, published posthumously by Marx's daughter, with two folding color maps of the Balkan Peninsula, both during the Crimean War and decades later upon the publication of this book.The ""Eastern Question"" refers to the colonialist struggle for influence following the collapse of the Ottoman Empire. The question arose repeatedly—not just during the Crimean War, but also during Balkan conflicts of the early 20th century. These letters originally appeared in the New York Tribune, though many of them were written as correspondence by Marx rather than as articles for publication. Notably, these letters are highly critical of Russia, both its tendency toward ""aggrandizement"" and its lack of discipline. Free endpapers excised. Owner signature on title page.A few minor tears, expert repairs, and light edgewear to folding maps; only minor foxing to preliminary and concluding pages. Text block and inner hinges expertly repaired, light wear to cloth, mild toning to spine. An extremely good copy.

Description
Los Angeles: Sherbourne Press, 1962 / 1967. Original 137 page mimeograph typed manuscript,‘The Hungry Years’ by Frank Gruber, with a small label reading ‘From the Library of Frank Gruber’ affixed to the inside of the front cover. Bradbound. Very good lightly used copy in printed wrappers. With a First Edition copy of ‘The Pulp Jungle’ by Frank Gruber, signed and inscribed by the author: “To Ross Teal, with the best wishes of Frank Gruber.” Fine in a near fine bright dust jacket with some tiny edge nicks. Both items tell the fascinating story of the development of “pulp magazines”, especially Black Mask Magazine, by celebrated suspense, mystery, and western fiction writer, Frank Gruber, with ‘The Hungry Years’ being the early manuscript form of the book ‘The Pulp Jungle.’ Frank Gruber (1904 - 1969), was a prolific writer, best known for his Westerns and his detective stories, who sometimes wrote under the pen names Stephen Acre, Charles K. Boston and John K. Vedder. He once bragged that he could write a complete mystery novel in 16 days and then use the other 14 days of the month to knock out a historical serial for a magazine. Legend has it that, while in the Army, he learned how to control the dice to throw 35 consecutive sevens, but that he had since "lost this skill through lack of practice.” Both items are enormously informative and entertaining, with the main difference being one of style and tone. ‘The Hungry Years’ has a more candid and immediate feel, relating wild tales of staying one step ahead of the landlord, the bill collector, the law, the editor, and, quite literally, physical hunger (think 10 cent or less meals at the automat & ‘free’ tomato soup - catsup in hot water). ‘The Pulp Jungle’ shares many of the same stories, but has a more edited and polished presentation, while retaining much of the essential cutting edge energy of the times. Together, they give the reader a front row seat to some of the most interesting and vital times in modern American literary history. With anecdotes about some of the most popular writers and publishing icons of the Depression era and beyond, including one of Gruber’s idols Max Brand (’King of the Pulps’), L. Ron Hubbard of ‘Dianetics’ and founder of Scientology, Forrest Ackerman, Erle Stanley Gardner, Raoul Whitfield, Rex Stout, Jonathan Latimer, Zane Grey, Ernest Haycox, Clarence E. Mulford, etc. Together:

Political tract first published in an unspecified "Morning Paper" delineating a path for peace between France and England in the midst of the French Revolutionary Wars. The anonymous author is especially concerned with the effect of the war on British trade, arguing at one point that "Having reduced all the French Settlements on the Continent of Asia, and masters as we are of the Cape and Trincomalé, with a superior Naval Force, I may fairly assume, that should the present War be protracted, we shall remain invulnerable in that quarter..." (pp. 57-8). [ESTC T43799].

New. $25.95. * This is a useful introduction to Roman law with a level of detail that falls midway between an outline and a textbook. Carefully organized, it is also an excellent reference guide. "To begin with, it is quite comprehensive, for there is not a single principle of Roman law, sufficiently important to be included in first-year study, which the author has omitted.... [L]egal principles and definitions are very concisely stated, and a lecturer on the subject will be glad to find an important rule given in such brief, almost epigrammatic form, that it can be readily committed to memory. (...) Another good feature is the practice of frequently citing the original Latin phrases and sentences.... Lastly, the translator has provided a good index, which is a valuable addition to the original work. We are sure that many teachers of Roman law will welcome this book as a manual to be placed in the hands of their students.": Columbia Law Review 7 (1907) 377-378.
