Description
Boston: Adams and Nourse, 1786. 4to. 32pp, with half title as issued. Stitched, untrimmed, and Very Good. "To regulate this ruling passion" is a significant "design of the Christian institution." West reminds his audience that, "Whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant." "Civil government ought to be the result of mutual agreement, designed for the good of all." This principle is, "like the first principles of science in general, enstamped in human nature, written in the hearts of men, as by the finger of God." West fears that "the ardour of public spirit" engendered by the Revolution has "seemed to subside," rendering the weaknesses of the government more evident. Our "newly erected and scarcely cemented civil structure was left, in a great measure, unguarded against the attacks of private adversaries." Despite the importance of religion in forming a just society, "We wish not to see our civil rulers officially interfering in matters of religion. Sacred be the rights of conscience!" Evans 20142. ESTC W3222.

Still very good.
Description
New York, 1945. Still very good.. Two small broadsides, each measuring approximately 11 x 7 inches. Some toning at edges. Two broadside flyers issued by a little known pacifist group, the Anti-Conscription Committee, during the last year of World War II. The first, titled "Peacetime Conscription...," invokes Hitler's introduction of compulsory military training in Germany in 1935 and quotes an enthusiastic editorial from the Des Moines Tribune calling for the same in America. The broadside intones at its foot, "A nation followed these ideas! Do you want America to do the same?" The second flyer, "Conscription?," warns its reader of the imminence of a Congressional bill that would mandate a year of military training that would, "Bring about vast changes in our American way of life." Following this warning is a laundry list of diverse associations arrayed against the potential law, including the Rabbinical Association of America, the N.A.A.C.P., the American Federation of Labor, the Society of Friends, and the W.T.C.U., to name but a few. A pair of scarce survivors.

Description
Bregenz, Austria: Kunsthaus-Bregenz, [2016]. Minor rubbing to corners of stapled trifold wrappers; close to fine.. First Edition. Octavo. Published on the occasion of Amy Sillman's site-specific installation at KUB Arena; her first institutional show in Austria (Nov. 12–Jan. 10, 2016). As per the printed artist statement, Sillman chose to exhibit everything other than the paintings themselves; "a diagram to 'explain' the abstraction, a platform for presentation, a book with an interview, even the color scheme, but no paintings. When no paintings are present, then what is produced?" Interview of Sillman by David Lichtenstein accompanied by 8 color reproductions and an excerpt from an earlier psychoanalytic essay by Lichtenstein ("Fiction of Origins"). Further illustrated by folding plate at rear, with one of Sillman's drawings annotated with Freudian interpretations. Number 9 in Sillman's O.G. series of zines.
