Description:
New York: John W. Lovell Company, (1886). 12mo (18cm). Original printed paper wrappers; 193pp. Endpapers and wrappers (versos) are ads. Pulp paper text somewhat tanned and brittle, with minute chips to corners (away from text); cover wraps lightly chipped and soiled; Good. Sympathetic (to George) account of Henry George's 1886 New York mayoral campaign, which he ran on the United Labor Party ticket. Despite almost certainly out-polling his Democratic opponent Abram Stevens Hewitt, George was denied victory through the machinations of Tammany Hall. A Henry George mayoralty would have marked a key victory for the progressive labor movement, and would almost certainly have led to significant reforms to New York's labor laws and tax code. Instead, his defeat marked the death knell for the short-lived United Labor Party. In an interesting side-note, George's Republican opponent in the 1886 election was Theodore Roosevelt, who came in a distant third in the voting. The current work, written by the… Read More

Description:
London: Longman, Hurst, Rees, Orme, and Brown, 1817. Third Edition. Octavo (25cm.); later 19th-century green pebbled cloth; 48pp. Cloth boards bumped at corners, added endpapers causing considerable browning to title page and final leaf of text, some light spotting throughout textblock, else a Very Good, still quite sound copy. Inscribed by Owen at head of title page: "With the Author's Regards." Robert Owen first purchased the textile mill at New Lanark, Scotland, from his father-in-law in 1799 and set about experimenting his socialist theories in the management of the business and its community. Owen's greatest success was revolutionizing the early education of worker's children, the foundation of which he expanded to include worker education. The present New Years address delivered at the opening of the Institute for the Formation of Character, which offered education from infancy through adulthood. Owen opened his oration by delineating the main far-reaching purposes of the Institute, "The first… Read More

Description:
Boston: Richard G. Badger, 1913. First Edition. Octavo. Blue cloth boards lettered in black on spine and front cover; dustjacket; 274pp. Tight, Near Fine copy in a crisp, clean dustwrapper, Near Fine but for a spot of erosion at crown of spine panel. Collection of five scholarly lectures by the Scots-American classicist and historian of ideas, long-time head of the Department of Philosophy at The University of Michigan. Of the five works included, only the title essay - on the classical origins of modern Anarchist thought - deals directly with contemporary political movements. Not uncommonly for the period, the author conflates "anarchism" with other nominally "utopian" movements including socialism and communism. The collection includes four other essays on the subjects of Psychology, Education, and Classical Philosophy. A somewhat hard-to-find title in any condition, but truly scarce in dustwrapper.

WOODBRIDGE 1043 (mistakenly identifying this Kerr edition as the first printing). However, see BAL 11897, for the following note: "...advertised in Appeal to Reason. (Girard, Kansas) Oct. 27, 1906...there were many reprints; the earliest (probably not before 1912) was issued by Charles H. Kerr & Company's Co-Operative..." In fact, the address given for Charles H. Kerr on the rear wrapper dates this edition to 1915 or later, supporting Blanck's assertion of priority.

Description:
V.p.: 1946-47. Archive of six TNS (typed notes, signed), five TLS (typed letters, signed), and one Western Union telegram from Upton Sinclair to the Paris literary agent and translator Jean-Robert Lamour (better known by his pseudonym, Yves Malartic). Together with ten of Lamour's retained carbons of communications to Sinclair and others. Correspondence spans the period January, 1946 to December, 1947, and deals with Lamour's efforts to secure publishing contracts for French-language translations of Sinclair's works including The Jungle, They Call Me Carpenter, Our Lady, and others, as well as Sinclair's ongoing work on the Lanny Budd series. Sinclair's letters range from notes of as few as four lines to letters of two pages, the entirety comprising approximately 2500 words, with numerous hand-corrections and signatures in blue or black ink. Lamour's letters to Sinclair comprise nine pieces of correspondence (of which three are partial) and one draft contract, with a total of approximately 3000… Read More

Lengthy unpublished ballad of 86 4- and 5-line stanzas recounting the plight of iron molder and IWW leader Tom Mooney from his birth to the present date (1934, based on the penultimate stanza on p. 6 describing Judge Griffin: "all these eighteen years [since the 1916 trial], / Has fought on Mooney's side"). Though no author is provided, the poet has a detailed knowledge of Mooney's biography and trial, beginning before his birth with his father, "A tall trade-union Irishman, / Choking his lungs out mining coal"; progressing to Mooney's early childhood helping his widowed mother make ends meet as a paperboy; and the first trial against him after dynamite was found (or planted) on a boat in the San Pablo Bay, a crime for which he was exonerated.

Light edgewear to boards, still a bright, clean, and unmarked copy, Near Fine. A socialist's exposé of child labor in America, well-illustrated with photographic plates credited to Marjory Hall, G.W. Goler, Peter Roberts, and the Pennsylvania Child Labor Committee (the last photographic plates, though uncredited, almost certainly by Lewis Hine). Spargo (1876-1966) edited the socialist monthly The Comrade and published a number of socialist tracts before moving to the right during the First World War. In his later years Spargo was an outspoken advocate of free-market capitalism. The current work went through numerous reprintings; the first edition is somewhat uncommon in the trade, and is notable for the quality of its photographic illustrations.
