[Signed Astronaut Memoir] Mitchell, Edgar; Williams, Dwight
The Way of the Explorer: An Apollo Astronaut's Journey Through the Material and Mystical Worlds.
<p>New York:: Putnam 1996. First Printing of the First US Edition. A Fine copy in a Fine unclipped dust jacket. Inscribed by astronaut Mitchell on the half-title page. Apollo 14 astronaut Mitchell offers a vision in which technology and intuition are harmonized in pursuit of a more advanced consciousness. When Mitchell was hurtling back to earth after walking on the moon in 1971 he had a profound sense that all things are interconnected and that the universe is an intelligent process with which we need to link up. We hear how Mitchell began a career as a fighter pilot in the years following WW II switched to NASA with the hope of being part of the new space program and came to know the legendary Wernher von Braun whom he believes was a true visionary rather than a Nazi opportunist. Mitchell tells how while returning to earth he carried out a private ESP experiment that seemed to yield positive results. Subsequently he founded the Institute of Noetic Sciences in order to test paranormal phenomena scientifically. He offers us a tour of Western thought from Aristotle to Newton arguing that intuition and science were divorced until the advent of Einstein and quantum physics. We hear a lot about synchronicity left and right brain and the concept that psychic events are quantum exchanges in the brain that link us with the larger world. From "Kirkus".</p> Putnam, hardcover

[SOCIAL FICTION] [KKK] DIXON, Thomas Jr (novel); C D Williams (illustrations)
The Leopard's Spots: A Romance of the White Man's Burden 1865-1900
New York: Doubleday Page & Company 1903. Deluxe Issue. Octavo 23.5cm; cream cloth-covered boards with titling and decorations stamped in gilt and red on spine and front cover; top-edge gilt; fore- and lower-edges untrimmed; 469pp; illustration to frontispiece and throughout. Signed by previous owner E. G. Warren on front endpaper. Shelf-soil with light rubbing to crown; Very Good.<br /> <br /> Dixon 1864-1946 an American author lawyer Baptist minister and professional racist spent his writing career romanticizing the South opposing equal rights for African Americans and glorifying white supremacy and championing the KKK as the knights of the South. "No American author of his time was more deeply devoted to the cause of white supremacy than Thomas Dixon Jr. When Dixon prepared his attacks against Blacks he drew skillfully upon an imagination that had been schooled in both the Baptist ministry and the study of Law" Blockson p.42. In his preface to the reader Dixon explains that the novel "develops the true story of the "Ku Klux Klan Conspiracy" which overturned the Reconstruction régime." <br /> <br /> The novel spans five years 1865-1870 opening shortly after Robert E. Lee signs the treaty at Appomattox and heavily promotes the post-emancipation theory of racial retrogression. "The basic premise of the theory was not only that blacks were inferior to whites but also that as they became further removed from the taming influences slavery had provided they were actually retrogressing to an even more bestial state that made their very presence a threat particularly sexually to white society. Because there was no hope of blacks' rehabilitation total segregation posed the only viable alternative and equality with whites in any area remained an impossibility" Inscoe John C. "The Clansman" on Stage and Screen: North Carolina Reacts." The North Carolina Historical Review Vol.64 No.2 April 1987 p.142. At the time of publication The Clansman together with The Leopard's Spots quickly became the biggest sellers of the young and financially struggling Doubleday Page & Co. doing much to establish them as a major publishing company. Aware of the enduring popularity of Uncle Tom's Cabin on the stage Dixon adapted a dramatic version of his novel in 1905 in the hopes of reaching a wider audience with his message; he often traveled with the touring company making short speeches between acts. The play was a huge success alternately vilified and enthusiastically received depending on the state. Dixon's message would ultimately find an even broader audience once his book was adapted into the 1915 film Birth of a Nation by D.W. Griffith formerly an actor in a stage production of Dixon's novel The One Woman. BLOCKSON 53; SMITH D-423. 84768. Doubleday, Page & Company unknown

"For a number of years Elia Kazan the director of several of Tennessee Williams's play on Broadway as well as films had been urging Mr. Williams to weld into an original film story two of his early one-act plays which were roughly concerned with the same characters and situation. And in the summer of 1955 while he was traveling in Europe Mr. Williams wrote and dispatched to Mr. Kazan a proposed script quite different from the two short plays. With some changes this was filmed the following winter mainly in the Mississippi rural area which had been the original setting of the two short plays." from the Publisher's Note. The film Baby Doll is the story of a middle-aged man married to a girl of twenty and of his jealousy and hatred of the young Italian immigrant who steals first his business then his wife.

[Three Mountains Press] Williams, William Carlos
The Great American Novel
Paris: Three Mountains Press 1923. Hard Cover. Good binding. Octavo.79 1 pp. First edition; numbered 275 of 300 copies; signed by Williams on the front free endpaper. Bound as issued in publisher's cloth-backed boards; lacking title label. Binding is bumped at the board edges; spine ends softened with some fraying; boards toned; offsetting to the endpapers; a closed tear to the fore-edge of the front free endpaper has been discreetly mended; an additional short closed tear to the fore-edge margin of a leaf had an early tape repair that was removed and mended more sensitively. All in all a reasonable copy of an uncommon book. <br /> <br /> A notable early work from one of the great American writers and issued like so many important literary works of that time from a small but significant American press in Paris. William Bird founded the Three Mountains Press in the 1920's and worked closely with Robert McAlmon's Contact Editions not long after opening. Bird was responsible for publishing and/or printing numerous major literary works of the era including several works by Ezra Pound Ford Madox Ford's Women and Men Robert McAlmon's Distinguished Air William's The Great American Novel and perhaps most notably Hemingway's second and defining work In Our Time. In fact Pound edited the series of six short prose works that included this present novel and Hemingway's In Our Time. Pound solicited Williams's work for this series about which he wrote in a letter to Williams that the "point of the thing would lie in its being really interesting." Williams's novel was that. While he later referred to it as a "satire on the novel form" his bibliographer contended that "it could be described as an attempt to explore" using Williams's own word "the background of American life" Wallace 16. An important work in its own right The Great American Novel is also rooted in the culture of expatriate artists that Gertrude Stein named the Lost Generation. Bird's Press was integrally connected to the burgeoning Modernist movement in Paris which would define a generation of writers and influence generations that followed. An important work signed by one of the great writers of the 20th century. Wallace A6. Three Mountains Press unknown

Oscar Williams was his pen name. He was born Oscar Kaplan in Letychiv Ukraine son of Jewish parents Mouzya Kaplan and Chana Rapoport. He immigrated to New York at the age of 7. Among his influential anthologies are Master Poems of the English Language Immortal Poems of the English Language The Pocket Book of Modern Verse and the Little Treasury Poetry Series which were used in colleges and high schools around the U.S. in the 1950s and 1960s. During his lifetime anthologies he edited sold more than two million copies a nearly unheard amount for books of poetry. Many of his anthologies are still being republished today. Though a friend and promoter of poets like Dylan Thomas and George Barker Williams' own poetry is not highly regarded by critics though he published several volumes during his life time and is not nearly as accomplished as the poetry of his wife the unjustly neglected Gene Derwood 1909-1954. Among Williams' poems are "Revenge" "Poem" "Poet" "The Last Supper" and "I Sing an Old Song" "The City's Face". Wikipedia hardcover

[WILLIAMS, S Wells]
A NARRATIVE OF A VOYAGE OF THE SHIP MORRISON CAPTAIN D. INGERSOLL TO LEWCHEW AN
Canton 1837-39 Mission Press. New green cloth over boards very good with issues numbers 5 8 9 the complete article extracted from the Chinese Repository 1837-38 66 pages a most bright and clean copy nicely rebound. R A R E This is a most fascinating primary resource. Obscure & rare! The narrative begins: "The object of this voyage was to carry back to their country seven shipwrecked Japanese who had been residing at Macao for several months and whose return it was reasonably supposed would form a good excuse for appearing in the harbors of that empire." With this mis- sion in mind the story unfolds. This is an exceptionally obscure and rare copy of the journal kept by S.W. Williams a celebrated American sinologist and missionary who came to Canton to run the Mission Press. During his twenty-three sojourn in China as a missionary he supervised the publica- tions from the Mission Press as well as the monthly period- ical the "Chinese Repository" and worked on a dictionary of grammar of the Cantonese dialect. He was also the celebr- ated author of the classic on China: MIDDLE KINGDOM. So the story continues. It was in the summer of 1837 that Williams received an invitation to join in the attempt to organize the return of some seven shipwrecked Japanese sailors from Macao to the Bay of Edo in the ship "Morrison." The mission failed because the Japanese refused to allow the return to Japan of any of its citizens who were lost at sea or who il- legally went abroad during the period of Sakoku or "Closed Country." This experience in Japan stimulated Williams to study the Japanese language and people with the assistance of two of the shipwrecked Japanese sailors whom he employ- ed at his press. Against this backdrop & experience in 1853 he received a request from Commodore Perry to accompany the expedition to open Japan as the official interpreter. Will- iams was was picked up by Perry in Canton and he joined the celebrated expedition to open Japan in 1853-1854. Published serially in three issues of the journal 1837-1838 the comp- lete essay. ALWAYS RARE ! unknown

[Williams, Heberton Lee]
A tale of five mariners bold or the log book of the Hattie B. by "Bertie Lambkins
Philadelphia: July 15-30 1894. Pocket diary 3½" x 6" 73 pages written in ink in a neat hand; 2 small pen & ink drawings at the beginning and the end of the journal; leather cover with some wear at extremities but the binding is sound. Together with 7 cabinet-size photographs each identified on the verso: George B. Taylor Walter E. Terry John E. Latta 2 Harrison W. Latta and Theodore A. Mehl 2. Recounting the adventures of five young men from Philadelphia who formed a club called the "Turk's Club" and who set off on an adventure along the New England coast aboard the sloop Hattie B. out of New York. The names of the five as listed on page one are: Archibald Ferguson Reddie Frederick Howard Mehl Theodore Ashmead Mehl John Ewing Latta and Heberton Lee Williams. They were all born between 1868 and 1870 making them in their late twenties at the time of the cruise. They were from upper middle-class families and included coal and lumber dealers the Mehl brothers a merchant tailor and Reddie at the time an "artist" but later the head of the Public Speaking Department of the University of Oregon. Heberton Lee Williams was to achieve future fame as the designer of the Campbell's soup can label. Campbell introduced its highly recognized red-and-white label in 1898. According to corporate lore the company's treasurer at the time Heberton L. Williams was inspired to drop the then black-and-orange labels in favor of the colors of Cornell University's football uniform after attending a Thanksgiving Day game between Cornell and the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia see: "Campbell Collecting Pieces From Its Past For A New Museum" by Charles V. Zehren Inquirer Staff Writer. May 26 1987. The journal not actually a log is humorously written and opens with "On the eventful fourteenth of July 1894 there was seen at the Broad Street Station Philadelphia four youths of sportive mien surrounded by interested friends and a stack of luggage their faces pictures of happy contentment due to the throwing aside of all cares and the possession of opulent pocketbooks . Leaving Philadela sic on the Limited express played whist enroute arriving in New York chased across the town to East River and boarded the steamer Manhattan of the Mains Steamship Co for Cottage City. "After a hearty dinner we wound our way to the wharf and were delighted to find that the celebrated sloop Hattie B had just arrived. Met the captain a typical yankee skipper with a curious dialect peculiar to the natives . The first procedure on board the sloop soon as she was under way was to make ourselves look as tough as possible in this the success was astounding . Went ashore and laid in a stock of provisions then took an oar apiece and pulled for the sloop found her anchored in Little Harbor Woods Hole with everything in readiness for the night and Capt Carney at his post almost starved no doubt after shipping the stores we proceeded to get supper under discouraging circumstances everything was new the boat the store and the cook. Theodore assumed charge of the culinary department the fire goes out and the water refuses to boil but after two hours of effort supper was announced . The dory drifted quite far out in the bay without our knowledge until we noticed a fog coming up--with an effort reached the sloop just in time to escape it. The spectacle of the gang turning in for the night was amusing such an innovation all slept in our tough clothes and sweaters. Fred in the cabin Theo and Arch on the deck under the awning with cushion for a mattress and a down quilt for covering." The group visited Boston New Bedford points around Cape Cod including Hyannis Port Vineyard Haven then down to Rhode Island; Block Island and Newport. "The entrance to Newport was superb a harbor could scarcely be more picturesque. Arrived in port at 3:15 PM and anchored to a wharf the cook struck tonight so we donned our full dress uniforms and went ashore early to satisfy our curiosity and greedy appetites . Later we ventured to inquire the price of that meal-$6.00 a piece Holy Smoke! but one must put on style at Newport . The Turks flag on our sail seems to attract considerable attention it looks either like a private flag or some ensign. Tis amusing to watch the officers on board some of the palatial yachts in the harbor trying to make out the flag apparently. Owing to the suspicious character of our flag we always arm ourselves to the teeth at night when tied to a wharf for fear of river pirates and other vagabonds. Theo sleeps with his bowie knife under him but judging from the difficulty in rousing him to build the fire in the mornings it is doubtful an intruder could clear the deck without disturbing Theo. Bertie has a trusty revolver at hand but should purchase a barn float down the stream and it became necessary . the chances are the bullet would go right over the barn with the very best intentions." The voyage ended up with stops in New Jersey and then back into New York via steamship. July 15-30 unknown

[Williams, Frederick Wells]
Archive of correspondence to Frederick Wells Williams
New Haven India England and Japan 1915. A collection of 42 items mostly manuscript letters signed from a variety of academics administrators and Yale men to the sinologist Frederick Wells Williams 1857-1928 with a few letters from Williams' father-in-law the theologian Hemen Lincoln Wayland to his daughter Williams' wife Fanny. Frederick Wells Williams was the son of Samuel Wells Williams also a sinologist and missionary to China. The elder Williams was the first professor of Chinese language and literature in the United States. The younger Williams continued this trade and was himself a professor of Oriental history at Yale. The majority of the archive is comprised of manuscript letters addressed to Williams dealing primarily with matters of travel. Williams planned visits to Panama Morocco and particularly India and sought letters of introduction or meetings with men with connections there. The letters chiefly concern meeting up or making plans with some exceptions as noted below. Included are ALS's from: 1. Ion Perdicaris Greek-American heir most famous for being kidnapped in Morocco for a high ransom and compelling Roosevelt to declare "Perdicaris alive or Raisuli dead!" Perdicaris assists Williams in making connections in Morocco. 2. Thomas Raynesford Lounsbury who provided 2 colorful letters one from London: "I am staying here. at this hotel. which bears the honored name Thackery but which to my horror . I find is a temperance hotel. I shall consequentially not stay long." The other a cryptic 1p note reading "You can rely upon me to stand by you unflinchingly on the solemn occasion to which you refer and all the more readily that there are no alien interests to interpose. I shall loom up at half-past six." Lounsbury was an English scholar at Yale and an authority on Chaucer. 3. Guy Lestrange a British Orientalist arranging a meeting 4. William Graham Sumner Yale Professor of social science. He asks Williams to find a replacement for his wife to speak at the Soc. Sci. Club. and compliments him on his previous lecture. 5. Charles Lewis Slattery a bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Massachusetts who provides a "ghost signature" no letter included 6. John Ferguson Weir painter sculptor and teacher at Yale who writes a letter of profuse thanks. "I cannot let the day close without thanking you again for what your friendship prompted and effected - not without great painstaking on your part I know - but which has for me a depth of meaning not to be put in words though it fills my thoughts." 7. George Trumbull Ladd Clark Professor of Metaphysics and Moral Philosophy apologizing for missing a social call. "I was so absorbed in trying out some new rolls that I did not know anyone had entered the house." 8. Poultney Bigelow a Yale classmate of Williams' and traveling journalist. "Just in from the Alps and the Himalayas and the first message from my mound of P. O. Matter is your "US & China" - about which no man can write better than yourself. It was a great pleasure to me last winter in the East to note how tenderly your name is cherished in the minds of scholars & trust you will have many more years of usefulness adding ever to your father's reputation & your own." 9. Maurice Bloomfield American Sanskrit scholar thanking Williams for assistance. 10. Morgan Shuster providing a letter of introduction to General Goethals of the Panama Canal Zone a year after the canal's completion 11. John Bucher thanking Williams for sending something to him. 12. Theodore Morrison an administrator and educator on India regarding letters of introduction for a trip Williams is planning 13. A letter from an unknown author introducing H S Bayley of Hyderabad and "His Highness" the title I can't decipher and advising on how to prepare for Williams' arrival. 14. C. S. Mellen "the last of the railway tsars." Mellen says he will not be able to attend a meeting of the Social Science club because he is having a dinner with the employees and labor orgs of the Boston & Main Railroad. 15. J. G. Jennings inviting Williams to stay with him at his home near Muir College Allahabad. Jenning was at the time president of the college. In addition to this parade of men of note there are a few other letters including: 1. Five letters from M. Arao Oiwa a translator guide and print dealer from Japan discussing the print market in Japan promising products and encouraging Williams to send friends and students to Japan to travel. Oita charges 15 yen a day per person to guide them around the country and speaks warmly of his relationship with Williams. 2. A vitriolic ALS from a Maria Smith who has taken offense at Williams' comment on the behavior of Christian missionaries in China. "You say also that through it all the Chinese have maintained their own 'superior culture and moral principles.' Superior culture! And moral principles! As exemplified no doubt in the condition of their women; the state of marriage; the extremely sanitary condition of the country; the system of education; the political organization and a thousand other notorious systems of debauchery and corruption which have made China what she is and have kept her where she is sunk in ignorance and superstition." 3. Four personal letters between H. L. Wayland and Fannie Williams' wife. Wayland discusses news about the neighborhood and asks after his grandchildren. 4. A manuscript invitation to attend the second meeting of the Excelsior Society of Yale and to provide a lecture. Dated 1908 Signed "Y. Z. China" Also included are a few items of ephemera photo portraits of two Wayland men H.L. Wayland's pamphlet "What Mr. Jenkins thinks" Fannie's grade book marriage license and certificate of proficiency for Remington typewriting menu for the 20th anniversary of the Yale Wolf's Head society of which Williams was a member a menu to the Norfolk Inn on which a pen illustration of women at a table has been drawn a broadside schedule of services for Stewart Street Baptist Church with Wayland providing a sermon and a 6.25" x 10" photograph of an outdoor scene likely Hawaii with figures labeled in manuscript "Norman Garstin J. B. Alexander H. H. Garstin" Norman and H. H. Garstin were English born businessmen who managed a large plantation in Hawaii and moved to California in 1892. Overall an interesting look at the sort of connections a Yale professor maintained at the turn of the 20th century. unknown
