THE TRUMPET-MAJOR. A Tale. In Three Volumes

Hardy, Thomas

Sumner & Stillman (United States)
Description
1880. [a dazzling set] London: Smith, Elder, & Co., 1880. Original red cloth pictorially decorated in black. First Edition of one of Hardy's least-known novels. Written during the year 1879 and serialized in the magazine Good Words (where it was bowdlerized by its Scottish clergyman editor), it is a tale in which Hardy combined the three separate strands which at that time most affected his life. One strand was his own Dorset background, and in particular the idea of a family reminiscence; another is the strand of historical study, and in particular the concentration he was then giving to the years 1804-1805 and the effect of the then-recent French Revolution. These two strands... are firmly woven into the construction of the novel, and give it remarkable unity and a steady sense of reality. Hardy was determined that the charges of unreality, brought against The Return of the Native, should not be repeated. [quotes from Gittings] The third strand, natural in that Hardy was then writing with an idea of how his books might appear onstage, is that the characters are "universal figures from the traditional rituals of the theatre"... In any event, The Trumpet-Major was "a triumphant success with the critics"; however, in spite of Hardy himself drawing the two vignettes for the volumes' front covers, the novel in book form did not sell well. On this copy the blank rear covers have a blind-stamped three-rule border: of the 1000 copies printed, 600 were issued with a two-rule-border (almost entirely to lending libraries), and then 150 (including this one) were issued with the three-rule-border a month or two later; the remaining 250 unbound quires were remaindered two years later. This is a bright set, with the decorative bright red front covers as vivid as could be; the spines are as always slightly darkened (though their substantial gilt remains unusually bright), and there is some very faint soil on the rear covers. Vol I has a light shadow in the upper margin of the last few leaves (plus a tiny hole in the last 25 or so leaves), and Vol II has a string-indent at the front cover fore-edge. The delicate original pale-yellow endpapers are cracked, but deftly re-glued so that the volumes are tight, without any later endpapers or strips. In all, condition is near-fine. Since the three-decker format was intended to be rented rather than bought by the public (the vast majority of first edition copies going directly to lending libraries), it is becoming virtually impossible to find Hardy's pre-1894 novels in any better condition. Purdy pp 31-35. Housed in a handsome morocco-backed slipcase with three gilt-numbered chemises. Provenance: each front paste-down bears the bookplate of Arthur B[arnette]. Spingarn (1878-1971), a lawyer who (like his elder brother, the educator Joel Spingarn) was a leader in the struggle for equal rights for African-Americans. Spingarn was one of few White Americans who, during the 1900s decade, supported the radical demands for racial justice being voiced by W.E.B. DuBois, in contrast to the gradualist views of Booker T. Washington. Until 1939 Spingarn served as the chairman of the NAACP's National Legal Committee (which also included Felix Frankfurter and Clarence Darrow), and subsequently he was NAACP president from 1939 to 1966. He had a major book and manuscript collection focused on the black American experience, which went to Howard University -- into what became the Moorland-Spingarn Research Center. Upon his death, eulogies were given by Thurgood Marshall and by Roy Wilkins.

Description
14 letters, 14 pp. (mostly typed), dated 14 October 1890 to 14 March 1891; of the 14 letters, 13 were written to Mrs. S.L. Oberholtzer, 1 letter is addressed simply "Dear Sir," but likely the recipient was a Professor Thompson; some minor tears at folds of letters, one letter torn through at center fold. The Society for the Extension of University Teaching The Society for the Extension of University Teaching was an outreach program that offered to communities an instructional program that helped bring participants up to date in a particular area of knowledge or skills. The instructional courses were designed especially for part-time adult students. In 1872 the University of Cambridge (England) having received many requests from large towns throughout England, asking assistance in promoting higher education, appointed a syndicate to organize lectures in populous places. The scheme grew rapidly and the syndicate conducted lectures in more than 60 towns. In some places the lectures led to the foundation of permanent educational institutions. It was thought that in London also, although much valuable secondary instruction was already provided, there was still ample room and need for similar work. The experience of the Cambridge scheme had shown that outside the ranks of those who are able to take advantage of the routine of colleges, there are in all large centers of population numbers of persons engaged in the regular occupations of life, who are yet willing to avail themselves of opportunities for higher education.1 A London institution applied to the Cambridge syndicate asking for help, but on that being done there were a number of gentlemen interested in education, who met in London and who thought that similar arrangements could be made in London as those that Cambridge had made for the provincial towns. They placed themselves in communication with various other institutions, and the result was the foundation of the Society for the Extension of University Teaching in England in 1875.2 The idea behind University Extension, eventually migrated to America where it first took root in the city of Philadelphia. Cambridge University professor Richard G. Moulton kicked off a statewide university extension campaign with a rousing speech In Philadelphia, in 1890. Extension lectures, Moulton advised, must contain less rote instruction and more stimulation, less logical exposition and more human drama. Popular audiences, he insisted, needed "something tangible and human" to pique their interests. At Moulton's encouragement, Philadelphia academics founded the Society for the Extension of University Teaching (SEUT) and published a magazine and two papers. Between 1890 and 1900 their "People's University" delivered 954 lectures at 236 extension centers. Throughout Pennsylvania, they found students prepared for educational fare by the hard work of Chautauqua volunteers like J. Max Hank, who helped created Chautauqua Extension Centers in Middletown and Lebanon.3 The SEUT was founded in Philadelphia on 1 June 1890. George Henderson, our correspondent, was the General Secretary of the local society for at least 1890 to 1891 when he wrote these letters to Mrs. S.L. Oberholtzer. Mrs. Oberholtzer had written to Henderson for help in organizing a branch in Norristown, Pennsylvania. Henderson, along with Prof. Moulton, Prof. Lawrence, and a Mr. Bensley, were also editors of the new monthly University Extension World, published by the University Press of Chicago. Mrs. S.L. Oberholtzer, of Norristown, Pennsylvania, was a poet and author, and through her work with the W.C.T. U., she was superintendent of School Savings Bank, where she helped hundreds of public schools in the United States follow a program similar to the saving banks system, proving children thus trained would not spend money for cigarettes and drinks, which bread intemperance.4 Henderson responds, in these letters, to earlier letters from Oberholtzer. He writes welcoming her to the society. He also discusses his ideas and plans on how she can start up the program in Norristown. He offers her introductions to several professors, estimates of the costs involved, encouragement, he asks about her proposed location, thoughts on the traveling library, etc. These letters, written between October 1890 and March 1891, offer an early look at the spread of University Extension ideas in America.

The annual dues are $5 - ; may I enroll your name? I sincerely hope that the work may be organized at Norristown. I beg of you not to let the lack of an existing demand deter you; even as sleepy a place as Frankford has taken hold of the plan. Awaiting advice as to some definite move at Norristown, I am Yours sincerely, George Henderson" "The Society for the Extension of University Teaching, Office of Secretary, 1600 Chestnut Street, Philadelphia, 10/27 1890 Dear Mrs. Oberholtzer: - Please send word by return mail of the location of the Hall where Teacher's Institute meets? Prof. J. T. Skidmore goes up on Wednesday. In the organization of your work it would be well to consult Dr. R. H. Chase of the State Asylum; he got together a list of 100, sometime ago, who wanted to take such a course. If necessary I will give you a letter to him. Sincerely thanks', George Henderson" "The Society for the Extension of University Teaching, Office of Secretary, 1600 Chestnut Street, Philadelphia, Dec. 1st, 1890 Dear Mrs. Oberholtzer: - Your note just been received; I think it would be a great misfortune if your committee should decide to attempt to organize two courses at the same time. To be sure the financial part of the question is the all important one, but I am certain they will find it difficult to make it pay. I am glad to learn that you and Ellis will join the Central Society. Will you kindly send me Mrs. Beever and Miss Spooner's address so that I may notify them of their election. Tell Ellis not to say anything about the rebate, and that I would like to talk further with him in regard to that at any time he may be able to call. Very truly yours, George Henderson" "The Society for the Extension of University Teaching, Office of Secretary, 1600 Chestnut Street, Philadelphia, January 12th, 1891 Dear Mrs. Oberholtzer: - Your valued favor of the 10th inst. To hand, and I am glad to learn that you have already 75 for Prof. Moulton's course and I think I can pretty confidently say that you will have 200 before you are through. I take pleasure in sending herewith the additional literature which you request, and at any time you can use more copies I trust you will notify me. I am glad to learn that the news of our work is to be promulgated in Russia. I am sorry that Prof. Thompson's list we mislaid and suppose it will come to hand within a few days. I am glad to learn that you will prepare newspaper notices for the press of the neighboring towns. This would certainly be most valuable and would be the entering wedge for our occupying all the small towns in this vicinity. I would suggest that you not only give them an outline of the movement, but tell them something of the practical methods of organization and to whom they may apply for further information; something also of the cost of the work, and something of the towns which are undertaking it. And I might say in this connection that the following have applied to form 'Centres": - Williamsport, Wilkes-Barre, Rochester, N.Y., Wilmington and Newark, Del., and Havre-de-Grace, Md. I think you could make a special plea, that it is a pity that the towns at a distance should be so quick to reap the benefits of this work, while those so nearby are not moving in the matter…."

[N.p., n.d.] 1872, octavo, 8 pages, text in double columns, removed from bound volume of pamphlets, else in very good, clean condition. Illustrated with four cartoons by Thomas Nast; the first showing Greeley eating from a large bowl lettered "My Own Words and Deeds." In 1872, Horace Greeley ran unsuccessfully for President of the United States. He served as the candidate of both the Democrats and the Liberal Republicans (a breakaway party that split off from the Republican Party due to its members' dislike of the corruption of the Republicans and the Republicans' Reconstruction policies), in the 1872 election. In the run-up to the 1872 United States presidential election, major changes occurred in the United States. Specifically, the 15th Amendment gave African Americans the right to vote for the first time, while the government cracked down on the Ku Klux Klan. In addition, the economy was still in good shape and President Ulysses S. Grant's corruption scandals for the most part was still not public knowledge. With this background, the incumbent U.S. President was able to decisively defeat Greeley. His hypothetical victory would have marked the first socialist presidency, alongside having held no prior office. See Midland Notes 100:320

"In 1923, when Charles Saunders covered the ground that he writes about in The Southern Sierras of California, there were few mountains road accessible to the automobile. With the exception of an auto trip on the Rim of the World Highway in the San Bernardinos and a road trip between and around Palomar Mountain and the Pala Asistencia, all of Saunders wanderings were on foot. Saunders narrative deals with specific sections of the Southern Sierra, combining first-person travel accounts with passages on the people both famous and obscure who helped create the history and folklore of the area." William Donohoo. Zamorano Select 98 Charles Francis Saunders (1859-1941) was a naturalist, photographer, and prolific author of books and articles about, California, and the Southwest. In the early 1900s he moved to Southern California and spent much time exploring and traveling the deserts and mountains throughout the area. He had a deep love and appreciation for Native American ethnobotany and the California missions.

[a nice clean as-new book, slightly blemished by modest bumping to the lower corners and a couple of minor scuff marks on the top edge of the text block; the jacket is flawless]. (Filmmakers, No. 84) Series A comprehensive interview with the noted director of LIVES OF A BENGAL LANCER, THE DARK CORNER, KISS OF DEATH, CALL NORTHSIDE 777, and numerous other classic and near-classic films. The interview sessions were conducted in the early 1970s by Polly Platt, under the auspices of The American Film Institute's oral history program, but the project was put on hiatus in 1973 due to a lengthy illness suffered by Hathaway, and was never resumed, at least in part because of Platt's burgeoning career as a production designer, screenwriter and producer. (Because of this, the interviews cover Hathaway's career only through the late 1940s.) Hathaway died in 1985, by which time responsibility for his oral history had been transferred to the Directors Guild of America; the Guild engaged Rudy Behlmer to edit and annotate the transcripts of the completed interviews, and to provide supplementary material. The latter includes a "Postscript" on Hathaway's later career, cobbled together from various other interviews he had given, and a comprehensive filmography. (xx) .
