Description
1796. PAINE, Thomas. The Decline and Fall of the English System of Finance. Paris: Printed by Hartley, Adlard and Son. London: Reprinted for D.I. Eaton, 1796. Slim octavo, period-style half brown calf and gray paper boards; pp. 44. $2000.First English edition and second edition in English of Paine's fiery attack on British finance, with Jefferson possessing a copy in his library and Paine writing Jefferson in 1797, saying, ""people who affected to laugh at my Decline and Fall… now see it in another light,"" a major work asserting the impact of the American Revolution on England, citing Adam Smith and prompting a run on the Bank of England.Paine's provocative Decline and Fall documents the economic impact of the American Revolution on British banks and cites Adam Smith on public debt. Developing ideas introduced in American Crisis (1776-78), ""Paine attacked the English government through its economic system. He set out to prove that within 20 years, Britain's currency would fail… [arguing] that bank notes were not worth the paper on which they are printed."" In April 1796 Paine presented copies of Decline and Fall ""'to the French people'… The pamphlet generated considerable discussion, especially because it predicted that the bellicose government of England was nearing collapse"" (Keane, 427-8). With this controversial work ""a run started on the Bank of England and it had to close its doors. Such was the power of Paine's pen!"" (Gimbel-Yale 100). Though its impact ""was quickly overshadowed by Paine's scandalous attack on George Washington… the British government was reminded of the influence of Paine"" with the printing of London editions and refutations, followed by printings in America and European translations (Keane, 429). Jefferson had a 1796 London edition of Decline and Fall in his library (Sowerby 3188). In an April 1, 1797 letter to Jefferson, Paine wrote: ""you will hear that the bank of England stopt payment on the 27 of Febru. and continues shut up. Several people who affected to laugh at my Decline and Fall of the English System of finance [sic] now see it in another light"" (Founders Online). This copy with ""Reprinted for D.I. Eaton"" on title page; Gimbel ""State A"" with no Oxford rule above half title. Gimbel notes copies issued the same year with title page imprints: ""sold by the booksellrs"" [sic], or ""Re-printed for T. Williams""; no priority established. Preceded the same year by the Hartley, Adlard and Son edition in English printed in Paris, and Paine's original French Decadence et Chute du Systeme de Finances de l'Angleterre. Precedes the first American edition. Gimbel-Yale 101. Gimbel-Stephans, 60. ESTC T5820. Kress B3263. Palgrave III:54. Goldsmiths' 16760. Lowndes, 1762. See Eberstadt 135:743; Evans 30943-30948.

Description
New York: Minton Balch & Co, 1939. First Edition. 8vo, pp. 322. Preceding the London edition of the same year. Inscribed by Connell on the front blank. Original black cloth (also seen in tan, with no priority), light rubbing, spine creases and a light stain to the gutter of the page block, very good, in a good dust jacket, with chips and an old tape repair to the spine fold. A scarce book in dust jacket. A collection of 13 short stories called Variety because the 13 stories are of 13 different types (business, sex, comic, sentiment, war, etc.) The most famous of which is "The Most Dangerous Game" is labeled a "mystery" though that isn't quite accurate. The Most Dangerous Game became one of cinema's most adapted stories. The first film appeared in 1932, produced by RKO and directed by Merian C. Cooper and Ernest B. Schoedsack, who filmed it simultaneously with "King Kong" using the same elaborate jungle sets-a strategy that maximized RKO's investment in expensive tropical construction. Joel McCrea starred as the hunted man and Leslie Banks as the aristocratic General Zaroff. The rain forest sets (soon to become iconic in "King Kong") and intense chase sequences established the template for countless adaptations that followed: a 1943 version called "A Game of Death," the 1956 "Run for the Sun" starring Richard Widmark, and a 2022 film, among others. The premise-a wealthy hunter bored with animals who turns to hunting humans on his private island-has influenced everything from "Predator" to "Battle Royale" to "The Hunger Games." General Zaroff, a Russian aristocrat fleeing the Bolshevik Revolution, recreates the exact power relations that sparked the uprising by establishing his private island as a space of absolute dominion over those he deems inferior. His careful cataloging of victims by race and class ("sailors from tramp ships, lascars, blacks, Chinese, whites, mongrels") exposes how aristocratic privilege and colonialism function through the same logic of categorization and dehumanization. The story illuminates the fundamental violence underlying aristocratic leisure: the inherited right to rule requires an underclass whose suffering and deaths provide entertainment for those born into power. Zaroff's boredom with hunting animals mirrors the colonial impulse to continuously expand dominion once existing territories fail to provide adequate stimulation. His island operates as every colonial outpost has, as a self-contained world where metropolitan rules dissolve and the powerful exercise unrestrained violence against those without institutional protection. The hunt becomes the purest distillation of how colonial systems function, with subjugated populations navigating hostile terrain while aristocratic rulers spectate from safety, their survival treated as sport rather than moral imperative. Rainsford's social Darwinism ("The world is made up of two classes: the hunters and the huntees") merely articulates what aristocratic ideology already assumes but politely obscures through the language of civilization and natural order.

One of 100 numbered copies (of a total edition of 126) Signed by the Bishop. Bishop was a perfectionist, who only published 101 poems in her lifetime. The overt of her poetry is a precise photo realistic account of the physical, but a closer analytic examination exposes the reader to humanistic themes of longing, depression and alienation. Since her death in near obscurity, Bishop has been noted among the great American poets of the 20th century.

Description
Chicago: Danforth Mills Company, 1914. Very good. 16¾" x 17¾". Faux leather over boards. 32 thick-card leaves with 312 product samples. Very good: moderate wear and staining to boards; most pages with small bits of surface loss; lacking five fabric samples. This is a massive promotional for the Crack-a-Jack Brand Tailoring company. Per contemporary newspaper mentions, the company existed as early as 1907 with the latest mention in 1920. Crack-a-Jack apparently licensed distributors throughout the midwest who peppered newspapers with advertisements such as: "Crack-a-Jack Brand Tailoring is a strictly custom made service with all the mind-consolation and body-comfort that go with clothes you get from a high priced tailor, but you don't have to pay the excessive tax." This book is filled with over 300 product samples for the company's 1914-15 Fall/Winter line. In addition to suits, it provides information on overcoats, tuxedos, collars, cuffs, belts, hats and other suit-adjacent products. The text also lays out the firm's guarantee, pricing structure and a multi-page pitch as to the firm's superiority. Opposite most pages with fabric samples are large illustrations depicting dozens of individual suit styles. One of them markets the "Mannish Ladies' O'Coat." OCLC locates no copies of this book, but does find one issued by the company in 1920.

Description
1880. New York: Henry Holt and Company, 1880. 8 pp undated ads (plus endpaper ads, the front one dated March 31, 1880). Original cream cloth decorated in black. First Edition of this anonymously-published novel, a cutting satire of Washington politics; Adams's authorship was not acknowledged until after his death in 1918. It is about Washington power, its use and abuse. It involves a woman who goes to Washington so that she can be near the hub of all political power, and her "salon" becomes the hub itself; a particularly apt quote is "Is a respectable government impossible in a democracy?". Characters include a Senator Clinton from New York, as well as a Mr. Gore. This copy is in Blanck's state "A", bound in cream-colored linen, with signature mark "F" present on p. 65, and with the endpapers dated March 31, 1880 (the book was first published just that week). Blanck lists seven states -- A through E in white linen and numbered #112 in the Leisure Hour Series, F and G in mustard yellow cloth and corrected to #111. (Blanck gives precedence to this state "A," but then says "The sequence of forms B-G has not been determined and the order as given is all but wholly arbitrary" -- though cream-colored cloth was certainly the earlier binding.) Condition is near-fine, with very little of the usual cover soil, very little of the usual spine-end wear, and very little of the usual bubbling of the cloth; there is a small bit of adhesive near the gutter of the title leaf. Blanck 11. Provenance: the title page bears the early signature of Ogden H[offman]. Fethers (1845-1911), an attorney in Janesville Wisconsin who would become a regent of the University of Wisconsin and, as supreme chancellor of the Knights of Pythias, was one of the authors of the Pythian Service Book (Nashville 1906).

A URBAN TRAGICOMEDY FOR THE WEDDING BADOER-CONTARINI 12mo (134x73 mm). 65, [1] leaves. Collation: A-E12 F6. The last leaf is a blank. Printer's device on title page. Roman and italic types. Woodcut decorative ornaments and initials. Later flexible vellum. On the last leaf verso manuscript dedication "Alla Serenis.ma Sig.ra Palazzina Anconitana" signed with the letter "G" and followed by the drawing of a heart within a square. Some light marginal staining. Rare first edition of this tragicomedy in five acts in verse dedicated to Giovanni Badoer on the occasion of his wedding with Maria Contarini. In the dedication, dated Venice, 20 September 1597, the author states that with this play he introduced something new into drama by bringing love stories far away from woods and rivers (i.e., pastoral and piscatorial dramas) and setting them for the first time in a urban landscape (Rome is the scene): "nel prendere argomento io della mia favola, Cittadino, & nell'introdurre Città, e Cittadini, forsi non ho fatto male" (l. A3v) (cf. L. Riccò, Minotauri, centauri, ermfroditi: misti e mostri teatrali italiani, in: "Norme per lo spettacolo, norme per lo spettatore: teoria e prassi del teatro intorno all' 'Arte Nuevo' ", G. Poggi & M.G. Profeti, Florence, 2011, p. 89). "Due secoli più tardi per condizione dei personaggi, non principi, non gente d'altissimo affare, ma semplici borghesi, il dramma del Turamini si sarebbe chiamato tragedia urbana" (E. Bertana, La tragedia, Milan, a. 1905, pp. 210-212). Born in Siena to a wealthy family, Bernardino Turamini decided to take the vows as an observant minor and to change his name to Giacomo. After the conversion his literary activity focused exclusively on religious themes. He later moved to Rome, where he entered the circle of the Barberini family and printed a series of sacred dramas based on the life of saints and biblical heroines.

Description
1893. Mine inspection and safety archive of six booklets dating from 1893 through World War I, documenting evolving labor practices and safety standards in the mining industry. Mine safety practices expanded rapidly after lethal mining disasters and labor conflicts of the late nineteenth century forced government intervention in regulating ventilation, machinery, explosives, compensation liability, and emergency medical response. This six-item group preserves that transition across multiple jurisdictions and administrative levels. The materials document the dangerous conditions that lead to the founding of the United Mine Workers of America, including an 1893 inspection report with a "tabulated list of fatal accidents" from Michigan iron mining operations, and Pennsylvania's 1893 Bituminous Coal Mines act, which codified requirements for safety catches, signaling apparatus, and shaft protection. By the 1910s the regulatory framework had broadened into compensation systems and standardized industrial enforcement: materials from California's Industrial Accident Commission, the Pennsylvania Bituminous Mutual Association, the Pennsylvania Department of Mines, and the Federal Bureau of Mines detail ventilation and sanitation standards, worker's compensation insurance, and first-aid instruction for mine workers covering gas poisoning, fractures, hemorrhage control, burns, rescue transport, and artificial respiration. The materials span nearly 30 years, from the early days of the United Mine Workers of America to the rapidly expanding demand for coal during WWI, documenting the evolution of safety practices and federal regulation demanded by workers in this dangerous industry. Six mining safety and regulation publications issued between 1893 and 1922, covering Michigan, Pennsylvania, New Mexico, California, and federal Bureau of Mines administration. [1] Boss, Clarence M. Annual Report of the Inspector of Mines of Gogebic County, Mich. Ironwood, Mich.: The American Citizen Print, 1893. Issued for the year ending September 1, 1893, during the peak development of Michigan's Gogebic iron range. The report opens with a "Scene on Ninth Level of the Colby Mine" and includes tables covering producing mines, ore tonnage, underground and surface employment, fatal accidents, and accident classifications. The descriptive section recounts flooded shafts, underground development delays, pumping operations, and reduced production after the collapse of ore prices in 1893. [2] An Act Relating to the Bituminous Coal Mines of Pennsylvania, and Providing for the Lives, Health, Safety and Welfare of Persons Employed Therein. Scranton, Pa.: The Colliery Engineer Co., 1893. Pennsylvania's comprehensive post-disaster mining law requiring detailed underground survey maps, ventilation systems, shaft signaling apparatus, safety catches, and approved hoisting machinery. Article I mandates mine maps showing excavations, openings, air currents, and adjoining coal lands, while Article III specifies requirements for shaft communication tubes, overhead cage protection, brakes, and safety gates. Issued in the same decade as the Mammoth Mine and Twin Shaft disasters that intensified pressure for stricter state oversight of coal operations. [3] Annual Report of the United States Mine Inspector for the Territory of New Mexico to the Secretary of the Interior for the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 1903. Washington: Government Printing Office, 1903. Submitted by United States Mine Inspector Jo E. Sheridan to Secretary of the Interior Ethan Allen Hitchcock. The contents include county-by-county reports on coal mines in Colfax, McKinley, Rio Arriba, Santa Fe, San Juan, San Miguel, and Socorro Counties, together with "Prices paid for labor," "List of fatal accidents," "Coroner's inquests," and "United States laws governing the working of coal mines in the Territories." Sheridan's opening report discusses railroad fuel demand, competition with California fuel oil, and expansion of coal production across Arizona and New Mexico. [4] Mine Safety Rules. Sacramento: California State Printing Office, 1915. Effective January 1, 1916. Issued by the Industrial Accident Commission of the State of California under the Workmen's Compensation, Insurance and Safety Act. The prefatory material names representatives of the California Metal Producers' Association, Amador County Miners' Union No. 135, Grass Valley Miners' Union No. 90, Randsburg Miners' Union No. 44, and the United States Bureau of Mines who drafted the rules. The contents cover ventilation, sanitation, women and children in mines, explosives storage, electrical equipment, shaft protection, ladders, abandoned shafts, signaling systems, hoisting regulations, and accident reporting requirements. [5] Pennsylvania Bituminous Coal Mine Compensation Rating Schedule, 1919. Huntington, Pa.: Pennsylvania Bituminous Mutual Association, November 1, 1918. Prepared for use in workers' compensation insurance administration after the adoption of state compensation laws. The schedule divides coal mines into "nine classes or groups" coordinated with accident statistics from the Federal Bureau of Mines and the Pennsylvania Department of Mines. Sections address catastrophe elimination, valuation losses, electrical hazards, ventilation, hoisting ropes, explosives, safety catches, sanitation, and experience-based premium calculations. An "Appeals" notice grants operators hearings before the Committee on Coal Mine Schedule Rating and directs correspondence to Harrisburg and the Pennsylvania Insurance Commissioner. [6] Manual of First Aid Instruction for Miners. Washington: Government Printing Office, 1922. Issued by the Department of the Interior, Bureau of Mines, under Director H. Foster Bain and revised by R. R. Sayers of the United States Public Health Service. The contents include carbon monoxide poisoning, electric shock, fractures, burns, hemorrhage control, stretcher transport, splints, artificial respiration methods, and advanced first-aid instruction for mine rescue work. The manual also advertises lantern slides available "for lecture purposes" through the Bureau of Mines, reflecting the federal government's growing use of standardized safety instruction after the Bureau's formation in 1910. Edge wear, toning, occasional staining, rusted staples, and scattered chipping to wrappers and spines; several items with old tape reinforcement or minor separation at folds and hinges. Overall good condition.

Description
1926. Very Good. Pocket notebook (16 x 8cm); 40 leaves. Handwritten notes in ink on each recto. Staple-bound at top edge with black tape covering. Perforated leaves. Cardboard backing with no front cover, possibly as issued (one stub remains on top from a torn-out sheet; unsure if this was a cover page or a blank, but journal begins on first existing page so no loss assumed). First page loose along perforation but still holding, with all other pages firmly bound. Journal recounts a three-day trip via train and bus from New York City to Washington, DC and Philadelphia Pennsylvania for the 1926 Sesqui-Centennial International Exposition (1926 World’s Fair). The author's name is never stated, but based on content is likely a young man from New York City traveling with his father. Handwriting is legible throughout. Majority of journal describes visiting DC landmarks, describes the interior of the Pan American Union building in detail, and complains about the DC heat. In Philadelphia, he recounts an incident at the hotel: "At 1 o'clock last night (or this morning, rather) the band ... came to the hotel (their headquarters) playing louder than any other bands ever played together and the policemen looked on and laughed. Ha! Ha! What a good joke." A detailed glimpse into one man's travel experience in the mid-1920s.

New York: By the authors, 1893. Very good. Broadside, n. d. (1893); 14 x 8 1/2; text and a table to recto, printed in black; several fold lines, else minor wear; in very good condition. In February of 1893, the US Senate would ratify a controversial agreement, the first ever extradition treaty between the two countries, which initially was proposed by Emperor of Russia Alexander III in 1886 and which would be quite-unfavorably received by many Americans, who feared it would affect political exiles, who had sought refuge in the United States. The treaty indeed included a political offense clause, but it also stipulated an exception for individuals that took “an attempt against the life of the head of either Government . . ." Nowadays, the validity of the agreement has created two camps - on the one hand, those arguing that the treaty specified "it shall remain in force for six months after notice of its termination shall have been given by either of the contracting parties" and since such notice has never been formally recorded - it is still valid; on the other hand, others speculating that with the multiple changes in government, the treaty became invalid after the October Revolution in 1917. The broadside, published by the Society for the Abrogation of the Russian Extradition Treaty, featured a very-large table with columns for names and addresses (unused) and stated: "To the President, Senate and House of Representatives of the United States: We, the undersigned, citizens of the United States, respectfully petition you to give notice to His Majesty, the Emperor of all the Russias, that the United States of America desire to terminate the Treaty of Extradition recently made with him...[When signed please return to Society for the Abrogation of the Russian Extradition Treaty, 100 Broadway, New York City.]" Not in OCLC, not in the trade (as of January 2022).

Description
New York: Mira Books, 2007. First Edition. Hard Cover. Near Fine/Near Fine. 6x1x9. First edition. Jacket edges lightly worn. 2007 Hard Cover. 586 pp. When two ambitious families occupy the same patch of English soil, rivalry is sure to take root and flourish. A glimmer of initiative swells into blind desire, and minor hurts, nursed with jealousy, fester into a malignant hatred. When a bitter feud is born the price for this wild and beautiful piece of ground will take more than three generations to settle. Richard Lanyon answers to no one save the aristocratic Sweetwater family, owners of the land he farms. His bitter resentment is legend within the bounds of their tiny Exmoor community, but as their tenant, Richard Lanyon must do their bidding. Still, even noblemen do not have the power to contain ruthless ambition, and the Sweetwaters are no exception. Driven to succeed, Richard is prepared to take what is not his, and to forfeit the happiness of his family to claim the entitlements he lusts for. But no family can grow and succeed without the nurturing hand of a woman, and even Richard Lanyon knows this. Better still if the woman is clever and hardworking and can bear many sons, and with this in mind Richard arranges a marriage for his only son, Peter. But matches based on pragmatism often hide a multitude of sins, and so it is within the house of Lanyon. Although Peter and his bride, Liza Weaver, settle into marriage, each harbors a broken heart, lost dreams and unspoken secrets. And should their secrets ever be revealed, all that Richard has worked for will be destroyed. Surviving the betrayals of the past means keeping one foot in the present, and an eye to the future. For it is the next generation that holds the power to achieve in one moment what eluded Richard Lanyon for a lifetime.
