Description
1739. (TRENCHARD, John). A Short History of Standing Armies in England. Written By that Eminent Patriot, Thomas Trenchard, Esq. London: Printed and Sold by Dick Thomas, 1739. Small octavo (5 by 8-1/4 inches), period-style half brown calf and marbled boards; pp. ((1-4), (i-viii), 9-68. $3200.1739 edition of Trenchard's controversial work, issued posthumously, the work that shaped American revolutionary thought by arguing that a standing army will inevitably ""find a Tyrant"" and fracture the balance of power needed to protect civil rights, with Benjamin Franklin possessing Trenchard's writings in his library, handsomely bound.More than any other single individual, Trenchard created the American suspicion of standing armies when the controversial Englishman here argued that ""such a Power is to be trusted to none"" (38). At its initial publication in 1698 and in the emerging revolutionary years, the controversial Englishman argued that the British army threatened the public interest: ""If this Army does not make us slaves, we are the only People upon Earth in such Circumstances that ever escap'd it… such a Power is to be trusted to none, which if it does not find a Tyrant, commonly makes one; and of not him, to be sure a Successor."" American colonists similarly saw ""the standing army as a repressive instrument of tyranny, a constant threat to civil liberties… and having had considerable experience with the regular armed forces in their midst, had also had occasion to see the king's men in their role as a police power… During the first half of the new century, the century of the American Revolution, those attitudes were to be shaped and intensified"" (Leach, Roots of Conflict, 24). Trenchard's famous tract convinced Americans that the appearance of British troops in America in 1768 was ""one of the classic stages in the process of destroying free constitutions of government"" (Bailyn 113-14). His warnings appeared to be proven by the Boston Massacre. In the uproar which followed, the prominent Boston patriot Andrew Eliot spoke for many when he wrote that the Massacre ""serves to show the impossibility of our living in peace with a standing army,"" and cited ""Trenchard's Short History of Standing Armies, which… is excellent."" Colonial fear of standing armies was so deep that Hamilton addressed Federalist essays #8 and #24 to the subject.In this, ""his most popular pamphlet… Trenchard gave examples from history of how standing armies often led to arbitrary governments… dictated by the whim of an absolute power"" (Barry, Dress Rehearsal for Revolution, 14). Throughout he demonstrated his ""preoccupation with a theme that would persist in all his writings, the precariousness of the delicate balance that inhibits the arbitrary use of power"" (Krammick, Bolingbroke and His Circle, 244). He proposed that ""all wise Governments indeavor [sic] as much as possible to keep the Legislative and Executive Parts asunder, that they may be a check upon one another"" (vii). Daniel Defoe, who strenuously objected to Trenchard's Short History, answered it the same year with his Brief Reply to the History of Standing Armies in England. Franklin had a copy of Short History in his library, bound with Defoe's Brief Reply (Wolf and Hayes, Library of Benjamin Franklin 3407). With half title. Initially appearing in the virtually unavailable 1698 first edition and rare subsequent printings. See Wing T2117; ESTC R187525. Tiny early numerical notation above half title.Text very fresh with scant soiling to rear leaves. A handsome about-fine copy.

Description
FIRST EDITION OF SCIPIONE GONZAGA'S AUTOBIOGRAPHY PRINTED ON BLUE PAPER Large 4to (276x200 mm). [16], 430, [2] pp. and one engraved plate between fols. Zz2 and Zz3, bearing a portrait of Gonzaga along with his family's coat of arms. Engraved vignette on the title page presenting an allegory of the city of Mantua, executed by M. di Pietro, who was also responsible for the engraved vignettes on fols. A1r, K1r, and Aa4r. Another full-page engraved portrait of the author on the verso of fol. b4. Engraved decorated initials and headpiece. Contemporary Roman red morocco, covers within an elaborate gilt frame, spine with five raised bands, compartments richly gilt tooled, title in gold on olive morocco lettering-piece, board edges decorated with small foliate tools, marbled pastedowns and flyleaves, inside dentelles, gilt edges, green silk bookmark (spine slightly discoloured and with a few tiny worm holes, three small scrapes on the back panel). On the front flyleaf bookplate of the twentieth-century bibliophile Arturo Dazza. Some occasional minor foxing on a few leaves, but a very good, wide-margined copy, printed on thick blue paper. First edition of the autobiography of Cardinal Scipione Gonzaga, composed at the age of thirty-seven in 1579, then extended to the year 1587. For unknown reasons the Commentarii remained unpublished for over two centuries and was printed for the first time only in 1791. Scipione speaks of himself in the third person, recounting only events he witnessed directly, many of which regard episodes from the life of the Gonzagas, particularly of his father Carlo and of Cardinal Ercole. But he also narrates his relations with the most powerful people of his age, including several popes and Emperor Maximilian II. In 1563 Scipione founded in Padua the literary Accademia degli Eterei (Academy of the Ethereals) and in his youth composed verses from which he takes distance in the Commentarii as he probably considered them as not suitable anymore to his role of cardinal. Probably for the same reasons the name of Torquato Tasso (1544-1595) is never mentioned in the work, despite the fact that Scipione was a great patron of Tasso, who dedicated to him several of his works, and personally transcribed and edited Tasso's Gerusalemme liberata (Mantua, Osanna, 1584). The Commentarii includes only one reference to a manuscript of the Gerusalemme liberata, then in the hands of the Gonzaga family. "Se esiste nelle pagine dei Commentarii uno sforzo di persuasione attraverso cui Scipione cerca di fare accettare al lettore la plausibilità d'un autoritratto 'ragionevolmente' edificante, vi sono anche moventi irriducibili alle stratificazioni retoriche di tale sforzo; momenti di assoluta e sconvolgente verità della cui sincerità è difficile di poter dubitare […] Abbiamo avuto modo di notare che i Commentarii obbediscono nel loro schema generale al modello retorico della narrazione selettiva, ma capillare ed esauriente, di eventi considerati come veramente rilevanti. Per quanto riguarda la costruzione del ritratto del protagonista l'autore però fa ricorso a modelli ideali di perfezione sui quali lo sviluppo della personalità del giovane come dell'uomo risulta in qualche modo esemplato. Proprio all'inizio dei Commentarii s'impongono alla nostra attenzione i ritratti di Carlo Gonzaga, padre di Scipione, un guerriero irrefrenabile e spericolato, e di Ercole Gonzaga, suo zio, precettore e mentore nel campo della vita religiosa […] La lotta per la propria sopravvivenza e in ultima analisi per un rilancio del proprio successo nelle cose del mondo s'identifica con lo studio delle strutture della dissimulazione; uno studio incessante da cui egli [Scipione] trae gli itinerari della propria condotta. Si tratta, senza dubbio, del capitolo 'letterario' più importante in cui c'imbattiamo nel nostro itinerario di scoperta dei Commentarii […] L'educazione di Scipione alla scuola dello zio abituato alle sottigliezze delle deliberazioni ecclesiastiche e alla calcolata prudenza della Chiesa, frutto d'una secolare conoscenza delle vie degli uomini, conta certo molto, ma in questo caso, assume peso notevole l'esperienza diretta, acquisita prima nell'ambiente mantovano-padovano, quando ancora Scipione viveva sotto l'egida dello zio, poi alla corte di Massimiliano, e poi infine nel lungo tirocinio alla corte papale" (D. Della Terza, op. cit., pp. XIX-XX and XXVI). The work -originally comprising three books- is supplemented in this Roman edition with a fourth book, titled 'Paralipomeni', which was compiled by the abbot and then professor of eloquence at the Jesuit Collegio Romano, Giuseppe Marotti (1741-1804). This additional book integrates the Commentarii with the information that Scipione Gonzaga for choice and priority reasons had purposely omitted. Scipione was born on 11 November 1542 into the branch of the Gonzaga family of the dukes of Sabbioneta. His father, the condottiero Carlo Gonzaga, was Marquis of Gazzuolo. Second-born, he was destinated since his childhood to the ecclesiastical life. He passed his youth under the care of Cardinal Ercole Gonzaga, having as tutor Antonio Possevino, and subsequently he studied at Bologna and Padua. After completing his theological studies he went to Rome, where he entered the service of Pope Gregory XIII. In 1585 Sixtus V appointed him Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem and in 1587 cardinal priest of Santa Maria del Popolo. Sixtus also made constant use of Scipione's services in the execution of his policies, and sent him on frequent missions to Florence, Trent, Venice, Innsbruck, Vienna, Prague, and Nurnberg. Scipione was religiously close to Carlo Borromeo and Filippo Neri. Throughout his life he patronized literature and men of letters, including Torquato Tasso and Battista Guarini, who dedicated to him his Il pastor fido. He died on 11 January 1593 in San Martino dall'Argine, where he was buried (G. Benzoni, Gonzaga, Scipione, in: "Dizionario biografico degli Italiani", vol. 57, 2001, s.v.). Another copy issued on blue paper is preserved in the library of the University of Illinois. D.

Description
1900. Black women's labor photo archive depicting agricultural work, nursing, hospital training, clerical employment, service labor, and street protest from the turn of the century to 1960. Black women's labor photo archive depicting the long movement of Black women into paid work beyond domestic service and agricultural labor, from cane-processing and uniformed service roles to clerical offices, nursing education, and public union protest. During the first half of the twentieth century, Black women remained heavily concentrated in farm work, laundry work, cooking, cleaning, and private household labor, while wartime industry, hospital expansion, civil service employment, and postwar union activity opened limited but visible routes into wage work with uniforms, job titles, training credentials, and collective bargaining claims. The Hotel Washington strike, the 1960 Sonoma State Hospital nursing class, and the large named office workforce portrait place Black women inside the workplaces where that transition became visible: on picket lines, in state medical institutions, at typewriters and desks, and among mixed race and gender employee groups. Photo archive of 10 silver gelatin photographs, various sizes ranging from 2" x 3" to 8" x 10", United States, circa 1920s to 1960s. A large interior staff portrait records a mixed race and gender office workforce, with verso first and last name identifications. Nurses in white uniforms stand in rows outside a brick institutional building, with "grad class of '60" and "S.S.H. Sonoma State Hospital" written en verso; another photo of a nurse is shown with her in uniform and identified en verso "Lillian Moore Johnson R.N."; another office interior includes Black women gathered around desks, papers, and a typewriter. Agricultural labor appears in a captioned rural scene reading "molasses time in Dixie," where Black women in aprons work around steaming kettles, a seated man, and children near a cane-processing setup, while smaller portraits show women in nursing or service dress, including a Red Cross uniform and a posed group in matching aprons. The strongest labor scene places picketers outside the Hotel Washington near the Washington Monument, with sandwich boards reading "on strike" for the Hotel and Restaurant Workers Union, A.F.L.; the October 1946 Washington hotel strike involved approximately 5,000 workers at 18 hotels and ended after 21 days with wage increases, improved tip arrangements, vacation changes, and schedule improvements. Sonoma State Hospital, identified en verso on the 1960 graduating nurses' class, was a California state institution at Eldridge serving residents with developmental disabilities and later became the Sonoma Developmental Center. A large office workforce portrait identifies workers by full name and job title on the verso, preserving Black women and their white coworkers as named clerks, typists, stenographers, receptionists, and supervisory staff rather than anonymous employees. During the same decades, Black women's paid work moved unevenly from domestic, agricultural, and service labor into hospitals, state institutions, clerical offices, and unionized workplaces, while segregation and job discrimination continued to shape hiring, pay, and promotion. Light creasing, fading, and surface wear appear throughout, though photos generally clean and clear; overall in good condition. This archive showcases Black women's labor across the twentieth century, from plantation field work and uniformed care work to clerical offices, hospital training, and public labor protest.

Two titles bound in one: 392; 72 pp. Wanting any title page, index, or preliminaries that might have been published. The Examiner and Hesperian was a new name the editors chose for The Literary Examiner as a second volume began, but the whole enterprise ended after no. 2 of the former was issued (perhaps occasioned by the move to Cleveland of one of the editors, E. Burke Fisher, who continued his publishing career there). Mott I, pp. 390 and 804. OCLC: "This Pittsburgh literary magazine published poetry and tales, literary reviews, biographical sketches, and articles on geography." American Imprints 56847 (Library of Congress, Minnesota Historical Society, North Carolina, Texas-Austin, Spokane Public). OCLC apparently locates only microform and internet resource versions (all recording only a caption title). Endpapers at front repaired, those at the rear wanting, owners' names, foxed; still a good serviceable copy of a rare western periodical. Contemporary calf (quite rubbed and worn), rather crudely rebacked in leather at an early date, leather spine label. (#5711).

A Near Fine copy with just a bit of toning to the spine. This chapbook compiles thirteen of Charles Bukowski's poems that had been previously rejected by literary magazines and book publishers. In his "Foreward" [sic], Bukowski writes, "The poems in this book...have been overlooked (or looked-over and shunned) by those people who, for reasons unknown to society, publish collections of poesy. This, I hope, will be the sixth gathering of my work since I began writing at the cobby age of 35, a sad long 9 years back, and these are the poems the editors didn't want for the earlier books...I went through the magazines looking for turned-away poems. I found 20 poems I wish I had never written, 20 I didn't give a damn about one way or the other. The others you will find in here." Krumhansl 16. Near Fine.

n.p. [Boston?], 1931. Very Good. Theatrical Broadside with black and white illustration occupying most of top half. Approximately 22 x 57 cm. Several later horizontal folds. Minor soil and creases at corners. Upper left corner chipped. Harford seems to have been a white editor at Harper's Bazaar, Collier's Weekly and elsewhere. He also was a writer. "The Underground Railroad" seems likely to have been a comedy full of racist humor. We found nothing about this production which may have been a one-off charitable performance. The list of characters lncludes Harriet Beecher Stowe (an authoress), three Winterbottoms (a merchant and his female child Abigail and her brother Ezra), Belle Boyd ,(a spy), Uncle Tom (a celebrated "Darky"), Aunt Jemima (Uncle Tom's consort), Dred Scott (a Cause Celebre), Jim Crow (a Jumper), etc. Actors not identified.
