SIGNED by Thomas Jefferson. "Upon the whole, I consider the fisheries of the utmost importance to America, and her natural right thereto so clear and evident, that it does not admit of a debate, and to surrender them is a species of treason for which no punishment is too severe" (Thomas Paine, 1779). SIGNED by Thomas Jefferson as Secretary of State, Philadelphia, 16 February 1792: "An Act concerning certain Fisheries of the United States, and for the Regulation and Government of the Fishermen employed therein."

Leaves separated at central fold, light browning at edges, some very faint marginal spotting, horizontal fold-creases reinforced and lightly discolored, with a couple short marginal separations.

Description:
First Edition/First Printing of Hazlitt's great novel, originally published as "The Great Idea" by Appleton-Century-Crofts, 1951 (New York, NY). In Time Will Run Back, Hazlitt envisions a future in which the communists won and have been in power for more than 100 years. All traces and artifacts of the ancient capitalist world have been wiped out. Hazlitt himself acknowledged his novel bears some similarities to 1984 (published two years earlier, which he hadn't read). He explained that authors like Orwell, Aldous Huxley (and his Brave New World) and he were: "plagiarizing from the actual nightmare created by Lenin, Hitler and Stalin….All the writers had done was to add a few logical extensions not yet generally foreseen." Toning to endpapers in very scarce complete unclipped jacket with small chips to edgewear. Book #vC2334. $295. We specialize in rare Ayn Rand and other legends and landmarks.

F. Scott Fitzgerald Typed Letter Signed with handwritten addendum, December 26th, 1939, one year almost to the day before his death. F. Scott Fitzgerald, cash-strapped near the end of his life, pleads with his landlord "with somewhat bowed shoulders" for a reduction in rent, expressing hope that a Hollywood studio will employ him soon. "Things look a little brighter. My health is better and I really think I am going to work at the studios within a week. All this illness has, however, put me in debt and it may be some months before I am straightened out." In 1920, three days after publication, the entire first printing of F Scott Fitzgerald's This Side of Paradise, all 3000 copies, sold. Riding the crest of his brisk sales and enthusiastic reviews, Fitzgerald propelled himself further into the financial and cultural elite with The Beautiful and the Damned (1922), and achieved immortality with The Great Gatsby (1925). His private life with his wife Zelda captivated his engrossed readers as much as his…

You cannot expect it to be accepted by everyone at once." Typed Letter Signed by Ayn Rand, to a college student, pointing out how her novel, Atlas Shrugged, illustrates the impracticality and immorality of collectivism, explaining that modern philosophy is the cause of the broken spirit of students today, encouraging her to learn to defend the "right ideas" and persuade others in order to build an "intellectual Renaissance," and enclosing a brochure concerning the lectures of objectivist Nathaniel Branden [not present]. 2 pages, 4to, personal stationery, written on separate sheets; horizontal folds.

Description:
Soft cover. Condition: Fine. Two page letter to Marcella Bannett Rabwin of Selznick International Pictures, Oct 14, 1937, signed "Ayn." Rand begins with some personal reflections; then she discusses at length the"progress"of the Broadway production of her first, somewhat autobiographical novel We the Living. According to Rand, Jerome Meyer, the plays original producer, "dropped his option on it recently, and for a very sad reason: he is afraid of producing an anti-Soviet play.I am somewhat indignant about it because it appears as if the Reds have established a nice little censorship [in Hollywood] of their own, and it is very hard to get ahead with anything anti-Communistic." Broadway/film legend George Abbott eventually took over production, and the play was released under the title "The Unconquered." It closed after six performances. The letter's recipient was full time Executive Assistant to David O Selznick in the 1930-s and 40-s, including during the making of Gone with the Wind. She appeared as…
