State for the State of New York for the year 1856. He had a varied career,
working as a clergyman, historian, author, newspaper editor, adventurer

preaching career in Stockbridge, Massachusetts. Finding the work too
straining, he left for Europe in 1842 and began to write as a Historian.

edition, first printing, bound in the Publisher's original purple cloth and
wears in a good example of the dust jacket. The volume contains a noted
Poem by William Knox which focuses on Mortality and which is said to have
been Abraham Lincoln's favorite Poem. Of the Poem Lincoln once stated: "".
Lincoln's own handwritten (by him) copy of the Poem is held by the Western
Heritage Museum at the University of Oklahoma. So often did Lincoln recited
the Poem from memory that many hearing him thought that it was his own
Poem. Of the Poem, Lincoln (in 1846) himself stated: "I would give all I am
worth and go into debt to be able to write so fine a piece as I think that
is." Having been protected by the QUITE SCARCE DUST JACKET, the volume's

and such half-title page shows less, foxing. The title page and the text
itself shows only minor foxing. The volume's spine is lettered and banded
in gilt and the front board is attractively decorated in gilt and black
and, in that it retains its dust jacket, it remains a REMARKABLE COPY. Very
good + / good. Item #3407

Trollope, Anthony; Millais, John Everett [Illustrations]
Orley Farm [at least partially bound from the Original Parts]

London: Chapman and Hall, 1862. First Edition, First Printing. Hardcover. A
Very Good copy of the first edition (showing rubbing to the boards and some
scratching and rubbing to the spines -- top edge of each volume's closed
page block in gilt) with each volume having the bookplate of Dorothy Ripley
on its front pastedown, apparently a mixed issue, bound at least partly
from the Original Parts. Located twenty-five (25) miles from London, Orley
Farm was the home of Lady Mason and her son Lucius. The Farm's ownership
was in Sir Joseph Mason. Upon his death, he left his elder son a
substantial inheritance but, in a late codicil of his Will, he made Lucius
--the son of his then second wife -- the heir of the Orley Farm property.
After coming to ownership of the property, Lucius canceled some of the
leases, including that of Samuel Dockwrath, a shyster lawyer. His older son
(born of his first, now deceased wife), was convinced by Dockwrath to
contest the codicil of Sir Joseph's Will whereby Lucius had inherited the
farm. The young widow was accused of forging the codicil, giving rise to a
case being made against her. As to the novel Trollope in his Autobiography
stated: "Most of those among my friends...who are competent to form an
opinion on the subject, say that this is the best I have written....The
plot...is probably the best I have ever made; but it has the fault of
declaring itself, and thus coming to an end too early in the book....The
hunting is good. The Lawyers talk is good. Mr. Moulder carves his turkey
admirably, and Mr. Kantwise sells his tables and chairs with spirit. I do
not know that there is a dull page in the book." The illustrations are by
John Everett Millais and notably the frontispiece depicts a real place,
Julian Hill at Harrow in which Trollope lived as a boy and Trollope
declared it in his Autobiography to be: "Just as it was when we lived
there". When examining this set, one finds stab holes (a feature of the
first edition's first state) in multiple leaves. However, the volumes may
be too tightly bound to reveal all of them. However, the last illustration
in Volume II has a caption (Sadlier calls the underlining) different that
listed by Sadlier in his Bibliography of Trollope's works, causing the
writer of this description to concluded that Volume II (and possibly, but
not definitely, Volume I) are, while firsts, are at least partly in a later
state of the first edition. A worn, but still a Very Good set produced, at
least in part, from the Novel's issuance in the Original Parts. Very good /
very good. Item #3465

Price: $325.00       TEMPORARILY AVAILABLE AT $175.


Trollope, Anthony
The Land-Leaguers [Rare Yellowback Edition]

London: Chatto & Windus, 1885. First Yellowback Edition. Hardcover. A Very
Good + copy of the works first yellowback edition with "A NEW EDITION" and
1885 to the title page, a catalogue dated July 1885 to rear, and "TWO
SHILLINGS" to the spine, all as required by Sadlier. The wonderful original
illustrated boards and spine are in remarkably nice condition and show
general rubbing to the spine ends as well as to the spine and board edges
and corners. The volume remains remarkably tight and clean and, but for one
leaf, the pages remain rather clean. As Sadlier states, the work "...was
never reprinted in its original form.... Soon after publication it was
issued by the publishers at three shillings and sixpence in their
"Piccadilly Novels" and at two shillings as a 'yellow back'." Yellowback
editions of Victorian-Era works were sold or rented at such places as
railway stations at low prices so that readers would have a novel in an
inexpensive binding to read as they traveled. Thus, it is quite common to
find them to be rather to quite worn. Yellowback copies are scarce to the
market in any condition and when in a condition as nice as is this copy are
at least QUITE SCARCE INDEED and are certainly RARE TO THE MARKET, THIS
BEING THE ONLY SUCH COPY WE HAVE SEEN in over 40 years of our diligent
search for Trollope Rarities. RARE. Very good +. Item #3460

Price: $525.00       TEMPORARILY AVAILABLE AT $325.


[Lonergan, C. James]

States Speaking Tour of British Captain C. James Lonergan.

[WORLD WAR I - INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS/PROPAGANDA] LONERGAN, C. James.
Archive Relating to the United States Speaking Tour of British Captain C.
James Lonergan.

London, New York, and others, 1918. Collection of thirty (30) items
relating to the special duty speaking tour of British Captain C. James
Lonergan. The archive consists of typed and mimeo documents detailing
Lonergan's orders prior to embarking for New York from London; typed
letters signed regarding the organization of the tour once Lonergan had
arrived in New York; numerous memos from the American National Red Cross
Atlantic Division regarding individual speaking engagements throughout the
Northeast; and letters of gratitude from the organizers. Highlights of the
archive (and Lonergan's speaking tour) include the program of an event
organized by the Flatbush Motor Corps on December 9, 1918, at which Harry
Houdini performed (Lonergan was slated to speak during intermission and
from which a meaningful portion of the rear wrap has been torn away and is
missing). Condition of the collection is generally Very Good with usual
mail folds and toning at extremities; rather large loss across bottom
margin of Motor Corps program with some loss of sense; otherwise Very Good.
A detailed list of the collection can be found below:

1. 5pp. typed and mimeo-ed document sent by Lieutenant J.L. Fisher of the
War Office delineating Lonergan's special duty responsibilities while in
America. "The primary purpose of your visit to the United States was to
take part in a publicity campaign to encourage subscriptions to the new
Liberty Loan, but on account of unavoidable delays, it is feared you will
now arrive too late for this...The object of your mission is not so much to
explain the reasons why Great Britain entered the war, nor the aims which
must be attained before Great Britain can agree to peace, but rather to
quicken the interest and enthusiasm of the American people for the war
(whenever that may be necessary)." The document goes on to describe what to
expect of American citizens, especially with regards to their shortcomings:
"In speeches and conversations, however, you should remember that there
exists in the United States considerable ignorance of European policy and
diplomacy, and that this is enhanced by a failure to appreciate the
geography of Europe...In the course of your tour you may meet with heckling
and even hostility from certain sections of Irish-Americans. You will
probably find it expedient to treat such manifestations with good humour,
above all avoiding implication in the Irish controversy." The instructions
go on to urge him to practice temperance, and report to the British Bureau
of Information upon arriving in New York.

2. 1p. typescript document titled "Public Speakers to the U.S.A.,"
providing bureaucratic instructions regarding permission slips, uniforms,
etc.

3. Typed permission slip accomplished in manuscript giving Captain Lonergan
permission to wear his uniform while delivering his lectures.

4. 1p. typed letter signed by Frederick J. Nichols to Lonergan, dated
November 11, 1918, on United Work Campaign letterhead instructing him to
report to Charles M. Mayne upon arriving in New York.

5. 1p. typed letter from Dr. H.D. Dakin to Lonergan (11/14/18), in regards
to the arrangement of a talk at the Rockefeller War Demonstration Hospital.

6. Printed notecard accomplished in manuscript stating that Captain
Lonergan will speak at the Rye Seminary on November 15, 1918.

7. 1p. typed letter signed by Katrina Ely Tiffany, "Chairman" of the
Speakers' Bureau, United War Work Campaign of Greater New York on their
letterhead. Dated November 22, 1918, thanking Lonergan for his service.

8. 1p. typed memo on American National Red Cross Atlantic Division
letterhead (11/22/1918) regarding a trip to the Chester Hill Methodist
Church, Mt. Vernon ("Take a taxi").

9. 1p. typed memo as above (11/29/1918) regarding a speaking engagement at
the New York Institute for the Deaf ("An interpreter will repeat your
speech to the audience").

10. 1p. typed (copy) letter signed by organizer Earl J. Arnold on
Overland-Manross Tire Co. letterhead (11/30/18), addressed to Red Cross
organizer Claude Reddish regarding the upcoming speaking engagement in
Bristol, Connecticut: "...what I am nervous about is to get him [Lonergan]
here in time Sunday as the Cranston Benson lecture I managed gave me
nervous prostration, almost, as the speaker did not arrive until just
thirty minutes before the time of the lecture, and I had 2,200 people
already in the church, and no speaker as yet in the city."

11. 1p. typed memo as nos. 8-9 (12/3/18) regarding Lonergan's speaking
engagements in Bristol, Connecticut, and Flatbush in Brooklyn.

12. 1p. typed memo as above (12/9/18) regarding four engagements, at P.S.
160 in Brooklyn; the Bird Cage Tea Room on Fifth Ave. ("You are to speak
briefly and informally"); Jersey City; and at an open house mass meeting at
the Union of All the Churches.

13. Program for the event organized by the Flatbush Motor Corps and the
National League for Women's Service held at Flatbush Theatre, December 9,
1918, at which Houdini performed. Octavo (24cm.); original tan decorative
card wrappers printed in red and blue; [40]pp.

14. 1p. typed letter signed by H.L. Stone (12/10/18) thanking Lonergan for
his lecture.

15. 1p. typed (copy) letter signed by Jacob C. Klinck (12/11/18) thanking
Lonergan.

16. 1p. typed letter signed by Stephen Callaghan of the Supreme Court of
New York (12/11/18) thanking Lonergan in advance for his upcoming lecture
at the Men's Club at the All Saints' Church in Brooklyn: "We shall have a
splendid attendance, and an intelligent audience, of at least four hundred
people."

17. 1p. typed letter signed by Lieutenant Ada S. Best of the National
League for Woman's Service (12/12/18) thanking Lonergan for his lecture
delivered at the Flatbush Theatre.

18. 1p. typed (copy) letter signed by Earl J. Arnold (12/12/18) addressed
to Claude Reddish thanking him for organizing the event in Bristol.

19. 1p. typed letter signed by Claude Reddish to Lonergan (12/26/18)
thanking him for his service.

20. Printed card accomplished in manuscript extending Lonergan with a
30-day membership to the Metropolitan Club.

21. 1p. typed letter signed by Earl J. Arnold directly to Lonergan (no
date), thanking him for his talk in Bristol ("Your lecture was simply a
hummer").

22. 2pp. autograph letter signed by Grace G. Lambert of the Junior War
Relief Society (1/7/19) thanking Lonergan for his lecture: "We need more
such talks to enlighten as to the actual conditions of the German Prison
Camps."

23-30. Newspaper clippings relating to Lonergan's speaking tour.

Captain C. James Lonergan saw action on both the Western and the Sardinian
front, and spent more than a year in a German prisoner-of-war camp hospital
after suffering grave injuries. A contemporary newspaper article provides
at least a portion of a lecture delivered in Brooklyn before the Colonial
Daughters of the Seventeenth Century: "On October 16 we were on the Arras
front. This was my fourth front in eight months. I was ordered to hold out
as long as possible, but finally, when I saw that we would be surrounded
soon I ordered retreat. Most of my officers and men had been killed. I
received bullet wounds in the right knee and right thigh, and I lay on the
field several hours before a German officer approached me. I asked for
water, and he attempted to jam his bayonet through me. I partly warded off
the blow, but a steel cigarette case saved my life." Eventually a superior
officer intervened, saving Lonergan's life, though not before kicking his
wounded leg. Lonergan goes on to describe the wretched conditions of the
German hospital, where he underwent four operations without anaesthetic,
concluding "If any of you ever meet Dr. Greenbaum cable me. I want that
man's blood."
TOGETHER WITH AN ORIGINAL PUBLICITY POSTER FOR THE CAMPAIGN which we have
added to the Archive. Item #3278

Baldwin, James
Just Above My Head [Signed]

New York: The Dial Press, 1979. First Edition, First Printing. Hardcover. A
Very Good or better copy of the first edition, first printing, in a Very
Good or better dust jacket, SIGNED BY JAMES BALDWIN on the title page as
follows" god bless, / James Baldwin". The book shows some fading to the
spine edges and to the spine's lower portion as well as to the board edges,
light bumps to the leading corners of each board, and some minor staining
to the upper portion of each board, as well as a push to the front board's
leading edge. The dust jacket shows excellent color as well as some edge
rubbing as well as a modest vertical bend line to the front panel.
Baldwin's sixth and final novel, "Just Above My Head". Literary critic
Harold Bloom characterized Baldwin as "among the most considerable moral
essayists in the United States". Of Baldwin, American Novelist, Playwright,
and Essayist stated: Darryl Pinckney, stated "No other black writer I'd
read was as literary as Baldwin in his early essays, not even Ralph
Ellison. There is something wild in the beauty of Baldwin's sentences and
the cool of his tone, something improbable, too, this meeting of Henry
James, the Bible, and Harlem." An individual, John Trott, posted (in an
"Audience review" on Google) his interesting perspective on Baldwin and on
"Just Above My Head": "James Baldwin, for a variety of racial, sexual,
intellectual, and familial reasons, seemed to have rejected Christianity.
Yet to me it seems his world in "Just Above My Head" (and in fact all of
his novels) is afire with Christian symbols, Christian sensibilities, and
Christian ways of seeing. For me, I keep reading and re-reading his novels
even more than his non-fiction because of his relentless focus upon
suffering ("anguish") as a redemptive power and sign of becoming a more
mature human being, and because his relentless assaults upon whiteness are
in fact themselves done out a strangely tender, if relentlessly direct,
love for us in our repressed state. (We refuse to suffer, and by refusing,
are trapped in what both Baldwin and Kierkegaard would identify as
despair.) Maybe critics would say - and in fact some do - that Baldwin's
novels for the most part are too polemical, too "preachy." He does preach;
his childhood preacher training comes forth in that way. But I want to hear
him preach; I want to be convicted and scorched clean." Notably, the New
York Times Book Review described this work, Baldwin's final published
novel, as "the work of a born storyteller at the height of his powers",
showing it to be A FINE CULMINATION OF HIS REMARKABLE WRITING CAREER. A
Very Good copy, SIGNED BY JAMES BALDWIN. Signed copies of Baldwin's book
are rather uncommon to the market and signed copies of this, his final
published book, are QUITE SCARCE INDEED. Very good / very good. Item #3515

Price: $1,850.00       TEMPORARILY AVAILABLE AT $625.
