Description
1939. First Edition. PECORA, Ferdinand. Wall Street Under Oath. New York: Simon and Schuster, (1939). Octavo, original blue cloth. $3200.First edition of Pecora's electrifying account of his key role as chief counsel in the dramatic 1930s Senate hearings on Wall Street's role in the 1929 Stock Market Crash, hearings that, in Pecora's own words, ""cast a vivid light upon the uninhabited mores and methods of Wall Street,"" ranked with Watergate in their impact, laying the groundwork for long term financial reform and prompting FDR to name Pecora a commissioner of the newly formed SEC.""For 16 months in the depths of the Great Depression, Ferdinand Pecora, a former New York prosecutor turned Senate inquisitor, captivated the country. He chronicled how, in the run up to the 1929 crash, Wall Street's elite financiers manipulated stocks, dodged taxes and collected enormous bonuses for peddling shoddy securities to unsuspecting Americans."" As Pulitzer Prize-winning historian Ron Chernow notes, ""Pecora was the perfect foil to the posh bankers who paraded before the microphones… When he was hired for $255 per month by the Senate committee, Pecora was earning less money than most Wall Street mandarins disbursed weekly in pocket change. Pecora was meticulous in preparation and legendary in stamina, mastering reams of material and staying up half the night before interrogations… The hearings started in a modest committee room, but as the public was swept up in the drama, they shifted to a stately caucus room, illuminated by chandeliers and flashbulbs. As it gained momentum, the inquiry expanded until it shined a searchlight into every murky corner of Wall Street. Pecora exposed a stock market manipulated by speculators to the detriment of small investors who could suddenly attach names and faces to their losses… On Black Thursday of 1929, the nation had applauded a seemingly heroic attempt by major bankers, including Albert Wiggin of Chase and Charles Mitchell of National City, to stem the market decline. Pecora showed that Wiggin had actually shorted Chase shares during the crash, profiting from falling prices. He also revealed that Mitchell and top officers at National City had helped themselves to $2.4 million… By the time Pecora got through with the bankers, Senator Burton Wheeler of Montana was likening them to Al Capone and the public referred to them as 'banksters,' rhyming with gangsters. ""With a public aching for retribution, Pecora was playing with combustible chemicals, and Wall Street complained that he was destroying confidence. President Franklin Roosevelt retorted that the bankers 'should have thought of that when they did the things that are being exposed now… In implacable style, Pecora badgered [House of] Morgan partners into admitting that they had paid no taxes for 1931 and 1932—an incendiary revelation when the country was undertaking huge public works projects to combat unemployment… No less inflammatory was exposure of Morgan's 'preferred list' by which the bank's influential friends participated in stock offerings at steeply discounted rates… One Morgan partner, George Whitney, lamely explained that the intent was to safeguard small investors by preventing them from assuming such risk. To which Pecora responded tartly in his best-selling book, Wall Street Under Oath, 'Many there were who would gladly have helped them share that appalling peril!"" Donald Ritchie, the associate historian for the Senate, ranks ""the Pecora committee as one of the most effective among congressional inquiries, second perhaps to the Watergate hearings 'in terms of its impact on the nation… The Pecora hearings laid the groundwork for financial reform legislation… The Securities Act of 1933, the Glass-Steagall Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934—all addressed abuses exposed by Pecora"" (New York Times). In 1934 FDR appointed Pecora one of the first commissioners of the newly formed Securities Exchange Commission. ""After serving only six months, however, he was appointed by New York governor Herbert Lehman to the state supreme court in 1935. In that same year he was elected to a full 14-year term and was reelected in 1949"" (ANB). In 1939 Pecora published Wall Street Under Oath to remind the nation ""what Wall Street was like before Uncle Sam stationed a policeman at its corner, lest, in time to come, some attempt be made to abolish that post"" (xi). First edition with ""no printing or edition notice"" on copyright page (Zempel & Verkler, 407). With one page of publisher's advertisements at rear; without very scarce dust jacket. Tiny bit of early marginalia to two leaves.Interior fresh with only faint trace of binder's glue to gutter edge of early leaves, mild soiling to cloth, with spine gilt rubbed away. An attractive copy.

Description
Paris, France; and Washington, D.C., 1945. Six 8 x 10 inch and smaller typed pages; one 4 x 5 inch card with two tickets; one twenty-six page 4 x 5.5 inch pamphlet; one six page 6 x 8.5 inch pamphlet; six 2.5 x 3.5 photographs and two 3 x 4.5 inch photographs. Of the printed matter, most is affixed to paper, some small tears and folds; overall excellent; photographs near fine. Mary J. Bremer (1917–2019) was a Technician fourth grade from Grant Township, Nebraska. Her correspondents here include June Miller (1920–deceased), an aviation cadet from Michigan, and John Melotte (1919–deceased), an artilleryman from Philadelphia. Bremer and Miller were members of the Women’s Army Corps (WAC). Established in May of 1942 as the Women’s Army Auxiliary Corps, the WAC converted to active duty in July of 1943. The women of WAC, known as Wacs, served in noncombatant roles across the various theaters of World War II. Offered here is a small archive of Bremer’s documents and photographs relating to WAC: a few letters, including a description of Paris the day after the Nazi surrender; two pamphlets, including the War Department pamphlet Two down and One to go –; and a collection of photographs of Eisenhower’s victory parade and Roosevelt’s funeral procession. On April 12, 1945, President Roosevelt died of a stroke in Warm Springs, Georgia. His body was returned to Washington two days later, and a military procession escorted it from the train station to the White House. Two photographs of the funeral procession are included in the archive. One, showing a woman at the start of a section of the parade, is identified verso as “WACs led by Capt. Machen”. The following month, the Nazis surrendered. Bremer’s friend June Miller was stationed in Paris at the time. She wrote to Bremer the next day, describing the celebration: “It began the night before when we stood on the roof and watched the flares go off all over the city--just like the 4th of July; the Sacred Couer was blazing with lights and it looked like a miniature fairy-land. Last night all the famous old buildings, including the Arc d’Triumph, was all lit up, the fountains in the parks, at Concord, in front of the Trocadero--they were all going, and the kids were wading and splashing around, having the time of their life. It was really something to see--something the French had been waiting a long time for. “Fini le guerre”, they kept saying--the end of the war!” Miller also claims to have witnessed a bomber flying a celebratory loop through the Eiffel Tower: “When we came out of the [Trocadéro], the fountains were on, and what a sight that is. Looking down over the water that looks like a miniature waterfall to the Eiffel Tower at the bottom of a small hill. And if I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, I would never have believed that I saw a small bomber come through the bottom, but that’s just what it did--and just did clear it, too. The planes seemed to be going as wild as the people on the ground--[they] were so thick up there that pretty soon we thought surely something would happen.” In June, Dwight Eisenhower returned from Europe and a homecoming parade was held for him in Washington, D.C. Six photographs of this parade are included in the archive, including a shot of his plane arriving at the airport and one where he is visible standing in the back of a Jeep. Miller notes in her letter from Paris that “you wondered what was coming next; where we would go from here, ‘cause in a sense, there is still a war very definitely going on”. In fact, John Melotte, who seems to be Miller’s partner, writes to Bremer that he “May be slated for that place they call the CBI, but don’t tell June please. She does not want me to even mention the place in my letters so I let well enough alone” (July 15, 1945). Hostilities would continue in the CBI—the China-Burma-India theater—until September of that year. The process by which soldiers were selected to be sent to the Asia-Pacific theater is laid out in the War Department pamphlet Two down and One to go –. The pamphlet reminds them that there are still “a couple of big jobs ahead”, the primary one being to “crush” or “smash” the “Japs”, and the second one being to occupy and police “conquered lands [...] until the peril of future aggression is gone.” It is a visually striking piece, with illustrations in a bold black and red color palette; its cover is a reproduction of a caricature of Hitler, Mussolini, and Hirohito by Polish-Jewish artist Arthur Szyk. Also included in the archive are a card from a friend with tickets to an American League baseball game; a humorous poem congratulating Wacs Ruth O.B. and Lenore I. Nier on new work assignments; and a Christmas 1945 WAC pamphlet with a dinner menu and list of WAC officers. The pamphlet assures the Wacs, with a note from Colonel Kenton Cooley, “Before another Christmas you all will have returned to civilian life and each of you will take with you my appreciation and my sincere admiration for a great job well done.” Of interest to scholars of women’s history, especially in the military; and of the events leading up to the end of the Second World War.

Edinburgh: W Creech, 1781. First Edtion.. Contemporary half leather.. Fair; binding broken; some staining and tide marks.. 8vo, [4], [1] - 128 pp. + 10 engraved plates. The original publication of the lecture outlines of Robison's notable series on the physical sciences. Robison succeeded Black to the lectureship in chemistry at Glasgow and eventually was prof. of natural philosophy at Edinburgh. The book offered here is his lecture outline for the the course he gave.They contain an extensive structure of associated topics and mathematics. Robison remarks in the introduction that the main points of his lectures are present in the outline and that none of the proofs were there because he relied on students in class to take extensive notes. These student notes were the basis for the posthumous publication in 1822 of a four volume set supposed to encompass the lectures. DSB XI, 495 -` 98; DNB XVII, 57 - 58; see Roberts Cat. p. 280. Note: text ends on p. 128 with a catchword "greater" - this is how it was issued and conforms to the located copies that all contain this same aberrant point. OCLC cites a handful of copies mainly in the UK.

Description
[London?, 1833. 16pp. Disbound, with some loosening. Caption title as issued. Good plus. Whiteley is very quickly disabused of the notion "that, all things considered, the condition of the negro slave was much preferable to that of the factory child. And with these impressions I landed at St. Ann's Bay, Jamaica." The pamphlet is a chronicle of the harsh, inhumane conditions of plantation slavery. "The author was sent to Jamaica by a London West India house with a recommendation to the latter's attorney that he be given employment. While in the Island he witnessed the harsh punishments accorded the slaves and developed a great antipathy for plantation life. He was found out to be a Methodist and hastily left the colony when his life was threatened" [Ragatz 568]. LCP 11161. Sabin 103668.

Description
New York, New York: Fowlers and Wells, 1851. Very good. Toning, spotting, spine chipped. Modern ink to title-page.. Later American edition, first published in England in 1723, of an early treatise on the potential healing properties of water. This would later be referred to in the 19th century as the alternative medicine of hydrotherapy, sometimes referred to as hydropathy. Using water in physiotherapy was most popular in the late 19th and early 20th century, and prompted the popularity of spas, sanitariums, and the use of what were perceived as "healing" waters and spring waters for health. Some of the interesting claims about the benefits of drinking water in this work: beneficial in child-bearing and breast feeding; preventing hunger; preventing bladder stones, gout, and melancholy; "cools" the blood and "strengthens" the stomach. Correctly states that water is more beneficial to children than hard liquor or wine (p. 40). Single vol. (7.5" by 4.5"), pp. 92, in original printed wrps. Two (2) copies of this edition on WorldCat (Sept. 2025).

The ultimate buzzkill, the special taxes covered every vice one could think of, including alcohol, leaf tobacco, retail liquor, stills, cigars, and various classes of peddlers of tobacco - on foot, or on horses and other animals. The broadsides were intended to be displayed at Post Offices and, presumably, businesses - ordering the establishments to procure a special-tax stamp, denoting the payment of said tax. Green B. Raum (1829 - 1909), who had compiled the text, was a lawyer, author, Brigadier General in the Union Army, and a commissioner of the IRS.

New York: Greenberg: Publisher. Poor. (c.1935). First Edition. Hardcover. a Tully's unsentimentalized tale of a young woman who escapes small-town poverty (and various abusive and sexually aggressive men) by going to work in a high-class and politically well-connected Chicago brothel was beset by serious censorship trouble. Banned outright in Canada, it was one of eight American-authored books that were the subject of obscenity prosecutions in the U.S. between 1934 and 1944 (Sova, "Banned Books: Literature Suppressed on Sexual Grounds," pp.98-100). It was declared obscene by a New York court in November 1935; authorities there and elsewhere responded by confiscating and burning many copies. Although fined only a measly $50, the publishers nonetheless abandoned the book in the face of the many prohibitions against its distribution and sale. H.L. Mencken considered it one of Tully's best works. .

Description
Garden City, NY: Doubleday & Company, Inc., [1970]. Royal octavo, grey cloth, silver letters, 256, xiv pp. Fine, in a Near-Fine (prcie-clipped) dust jacket in protective mylar cover. “In this book Frederick Wilkinson traces the story of all the main categories of hand weapons, from neolithic times up to the ceremonial weapons of the twentieth century, with the same blend of deep knowledge and high readability which distinguished his widely acclaimed Antique Firearms. The superb colour plates, commissioned especially for the volume from Paul Forrester, provide a brilliant panorama of the evolution of the edged weapon, and a fitting sequel to his impressive series of studies in the earlier volume.”
