Description
Bologna [but Lugano?]: n.p., 1831. Original edition. Good. Octavo (16cm); viii, 238 pages. Bound in contemporary quarter calf over paper-covered boards decorated in a sort of blood cell pattern. Black leather title label. Scuffed and worn, joints tender. Title page and several succeeding leaves lightly foxed, with some stains along fore-edge. Scarce in North American libraries. Anthology of revolutionary poetry published to feed the fever of of the growing independence movement in Italy. The drive to overthrow the Austrian and French control of Italy broke into violence in several Italian cities in 1830 and 1831. Bologna, together with a few surrounding cities, actually declared independence, and existed as a self-governing entity (The United Provinces) for several months before being overcome by a fresh assault of the Austrian military. Perhaps this volume was printed during that brief interval-- we have no reliable bibliographical data to inform us. It packages a storm of patriotic poetry by revered poets such as Foscolo and Monti (both recently dead), together with Teresa Bandettini, Giovanni Pindemonte, Giovanni Gherardini, and many others lesser known, unknown, or anonymous. The book is an artifact of the imaginative passion that underlay the independence movement in the years leading up to the Risorgimento of 1860.

Very good. Light toning.
Description
New York, New York: American Social Hygiene Association, 1952. Very good. Light toning.. An early 1950s sex education booklet in the form of transcribed conversations "between parents and their children [that] were written by a prominent Catholic layman for nonsectarian use. They are distributed by the American Social Hygiene Association as one example of the helpful material on sex education available to parents today" (upper wrapper verso). Highlights common worries parents have, including how to broach delicate subjects with their children, how to pitch sex education to children of different ages, etc. Covers reproduction, menstruation, puberty, and marriage. The last one provides perhaps the best entertainment to modern readers, and features a teen girl being instructed by both parents what happens during sexual intercourse, in a way that is somehow both frank and completely opaque at the same time (it was the 1950s after all). Single vol. (8.5" by 5.5"), pp. 21, [3], illus., in original illus. wrps with images of children on front. KITTY: Mother, what do husbands and wives do when they get married? MOTHER: (STARTLED IN SPITE OF HERSELF) What do husbands and wives-- (QUICK RECOVERY--CASUALLY NOW) Why do you ask, dear?
