Description
1826. Signed. KENT, James. Autograph document signed. New York, March 2, 1797. One leaf, measuring 7-1/2 by 10 inches, writing on recto; handsomely framed with engraved portrait, entire piece measures 17-1/2 by 25 inches. $1350.Autograph document signed by James Kent, acknowledging receipt of $32 for his attendance at the state legislature of New York.""Superior to any previous treatise on this subject, and a landmark in the history of international law"" (Chamberlain). ""The foremost American institutional legal treatise"" (DAB). ""Without Kent and Story, it is doubtful that the common law could have been received as readily as it was or that judicial decision could have taken over as the law's growing point… Above all, the text writers and their affiliated law schools were a great unifying influence in American law"" (Schwartz, 111). Kent's Commentaries ""contain not only a clear statement of the English law, with all the alterations that have taken place since the time of Blackstone, but a full account of the main principles of Equity, also, a review of the modifications engrafted on the English law by the different states of the Union… and on all important questions, an instructive parallel between the English, American, Modern Continental and Civil Laws"" (Marvin, 438). Kent's goal was ""to transplant the English common law to America… [His] reliance on precedents had the two-prong effect of helping to maintain the primacy of judge-made law in contrast to codification by legislatures, while providing the legal profession with the degree and kind of certainty it craved"" (ANB). A Columbia University professor and judge in New York, Kent was one of the most influential jurists of his time, and early in his career ""was responsible for two significant innovations: written opinions and published reports"" (ANB). Expected fold lines. Very handsomely framed.

1964. First Edition. (TERRY, Luther L.). Smoking and Health. Report of the Advisory Committee to the Surgeon General of the Public Health Service. Washington: U.S. Department of Health, Education, and Welfare / GPO, 1964. Octavo, original printed brown and cream paper wrappers. $1100.First edition of the first surgeon general's report on the connection between smoking and cancer, accompanied by a printed presentation letter from Surgeon General Luther L. Terry.""On June 7, 1962, recently appointed Surgeon General Luther L. Terry announced that he would convene a committee of experts to conduct a comprehensive review of the scientific literature on the smoking question. Terry invited representatives of the four voluntary medical organizations who had first proposed the commission, as well as the Food and Drug Administration, the Federal Trade Commission, the American Medical Association, and the Tobacco Institute (the lobbying arm of the tobacco industry) to nominate commission members. Ten were finally chosen, representing a wide swath of disciplines in medicine, surgery, pharmacology, and statistics, though none in psychology or the social sciences. Candidates qualified only if they had taken no previous stand on tobacco use. Meeting at the National Library of Medicine on the campus of the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Maryland, from November 1962 through January 1964, the committee reviewed more than 7,000 scientific articles with the help of over 150 consultants. Terry issued the commission's report on January 11, 1964, choosing a Saturday to minimize the effect on the stock market and to maximize coverage in the Sunday papers. As Terry remembered the event, two decades later, the report ""hit the country like a bombshell. It was front page news and a lead story on every radio and television station in the United States and many abroad. The report highlighted the deleterious health consequences of tobacco use. Smoking and Health: Report of the Advisory Committee to the Surgeon General held cigarette smoking responsible for a 70 percent increase in the mortality rate of smokers over non-smokers"" (National Library of Medicine). The report specifically named lung cancer, cardiovascular disease, emphysema, and several other ailments as risks of smoking. It also mentioned concerns about underweight and premature babies born to smoking mothers. By 1968, over three-quarters of Americans had been convinced that smoking caused cancer. As a result, rates of smoking dropped over the following decades permanently altering the place of the tobacco industry in American life and culture. With a laid-in printed presentation letter from the surgeon general addressed ""Dear Doctor"", inviting the recipient to read the book and anticipating his or her ""particular concern"" as a physician. Only light rubbing to extremities. A nearly fine copy.

I Married a Communist is the story of Ira Ringold, who climbs up from his tough upbringing in Newark to become a 1940s radio star. Ira marries silent film star Eve Frame, and when their marriage begins to deteriorate, he is betrayed by her in her memoir titled "I Married a Communist." In the paranoia of the McCarthy Era, the book's claims threaten to destroy Ira's life and career. It is widely theorized that Roth wrote the book as a response to Claire Bloom, his partner of nearly 20 years, who had portrayed Roth as a cold and financially controlling partner in her 1996 memoir Leaving a Doll's House. .

Description
Small folio, two pages, plus integral address leaf, in very good, clean, and legible condition. 1819 Grandson of a Signer of the Declaration of Independence supports "Toleration" School for religious liberty. The grandson of Josiah Bartlett, the fist Governor of New Hampshire and second signer (after John Hancock) of the Declaration of Independence was not as active in national politics as his brother, Josiah, Jr., who served in the New Hampshire State Senate and in the US Congress, but Levi took a strong interest in political affairs in his hometown of Kingston, as reflected in this letter to a Methodist clergyman who was also a pioneer educator, heading three schools he helped found: An Academy in his own hometown of New Market, August College in Kentucky, and Allegheny College in Pennsylvania, a distant forerunner of Wesleyan University. Which is why Bartlett informed Ruter about a controversy over the founding of a new Academy in Kingston. But first he gave Ruter an account of proceedings at the town's Annual Meeting. Bartlett was apparently a Democratic-Republican in his politics and details the votes at the meeting between his party's candidates and their Federalist opponents, for local offices, for the state legislature and US Congress, and for Governor and US Senator. But the main subject of the letter was the establishment of a Kingston Academy and where it should be located: "I am confident, if the place of setting it can be removed from the obligation to which we all agreed to be bound, can be altered, the only place must be on Mr. Loverens, to be generally satisfactory. North or South of these two places will produce such a collision, as can be remedied only by fixing a spot and opening a new subscription for that place. Mr. Sanborn has dealt with the subscribers in such a way, that his land now, on any terms, will be quite out of the question; notwithstanding the good opinion we may formerly have had of it. Justice will lead to Union, selfish policy may prove fatal to the best of causes. I shall ever disclaim the honor of being on the list of benefactors where justice and impartiality are thrown into background. I am conscious of the rectitude of my motives for the public good in the part I have taken in this business. But Calumny hath already attributed to my generosity unworthy motives never conceived by me. I have and still wish for the Public Good in this institution; if it can be had on righteous terms; under this view, any place between the two corners, that will promote the public good will suit me; But placed as I am, no consideration would induce me to consent to injustice. I say to you this, that I may not be considered as a mere automaton, as easily moulded to selfish motives as to the cause of Truth and Justice." If the highfalutin rhetoric about choosing a school site seems curious, it can be understood with some background about the history of the proposed school. While it was incorporated by Methodists, at Bartlett's urging, they had specified that it should be a "Toleration Academy", open to all faiths - which appealed to Bartlett, who was himself a Universalist "apostate" from his family's Congregationalist leanings and was instrumental in having the Methodist founders accede to these "toleration" principles: "That this Academy shall never come into the hands of any one Religious sect or Denomination whatever but shall be known by the name of Kingston Toleration Academy….That no sectarian principle of Religion shall be taught in said Academy; only General principles of Doctrine and Rules of Morality, Piety, Benevolence & strict Virtue be taught, enforced & form a basis of Practical Religion. No one sect shall have greater liberties or privileges than another, all tolerated & all put upon an equality." This may be seen in the context of the larger "toleration" movement about to be embraced by the entire state of New Hampshire, which, at that very moment, after a long and heated debate, was about to pass a "Toleration Act" which provided "That no person shall be compelled to join or support any congregation, church, or religious society, without his express consent first had and obtained ... And any person may be leaving a written notice with the clerk of the society be exempt from any future expenses." Specifically, no citizen could be required to help pay funds for a school or any other religious-oriented institution which differed from his own religious faith. It was poetic justice that the grandson of a "Founding Father" should be instrumental in supporting this cause of civil liberty within his own community.

The author, Margaret Wise Brown (1910-1952), was an American children's author. Her early work as a teacher and her approach to children's education emphasized the real world and influenced her writing. Published posthumously, this book on the life of storks educated young children on their habits, migration, and habitat. A farmer's kindness assists the nesting storks by placing a wheel on his chimney. Bold, colorful illustrations by the Hungarian American artist, Tibor Gergely (1900-1978), bring the story of the storks to life.

Brunswick (Australia): Globe Press. Near Fine in Near Fine dj. (c.1986). 1st English-language edition. Hardcover. [nice-looking copy, just a bit of wear to the spine ends; the jacket shows light handling wear only]. Novel, "originally published in Yiddish in 1956," about the World War II experiences of a Polish Jew who flees into the Soviet Union (with his father and brother) from the advancing German army, and eventually ends up spending five years in various forced labor camps. Per the jacket blurb, this seems to parallel the author's own experiences to a large degree. .
