Truth: a New Year's gift for scribblers
Boston: Stephen Foster 1831. First edition of the author's first book of poetry 16mo pp. vi 7-52; without the errata slip not present in all copies; a nice copy in original muslin-backed drab boards the cloth a little nicked and brooken along the spine. Snelling 1804-1848 was the son of Josiah Snelling commandant of the fort that bears his name at the confluence of the Minnesota and Mississippi Rivers in St. Paul. William lived at Fort Snelling for seven years 1820-27 where he became familiar with the Indians their language and habits. After returning east he wrote many newspaper and magazine articles and several books which drew on his experiences with the Indians and this poem a satirical commentary on the state of American poetry and poets "that rocked the small literary world of Boston for a time. But the onslaughts of his political and literary foes combined with personal misfortunes gradually drove him to dispair and he took refuge in drink. To the great delight of his ill-wishers he spent four months in the House of Correction but he emerged broken rather than in health or in spirit. He continued as an independent journalist and in 1847 became the editor of the Boston Herald which he conducted with great vigor for one year before he died in Chelsea at the age of forty-four burned out. Snelling is best remembered as . the author of Truth which is one of the best verse satires ever written in America" DAB. BAL 18413. <br/><br/> Stephen Foster hardcover books

SOCIAL REFORM PRISON IMPRINT Webb Jesse P.
The American Prison System
Salem Oregon: Printed for the author at the Oregon State Penitentiary 1920. First Edition. Hardcover. Fine. 262 pp. A fine copy in original cloth. Webb spent ten years incarcerated at the Oregon State Penitentiary providing him with more than sufficient material for this reasoned and well written critique. He argues that the prison system is purely punitive and utterly fails to rehabilitate prisoners: "Every prison is a school for crime.As a rule instead of prison changing the convict to an honest man it makes him a more vicious man. It generally destroys the little good character he has left." He identifies failures in the legal system sentencing prison employment programs and attempts at rehabilitation through religion. Although ultimately "more is expected of prisons than they can possibly fulfill" and other social reforms are needed to address the problem of crime Webb still believes that serious attempts at rehabilitation are worthwhile. "Force prisons out of politics and place men in charge who understand humanity. For of all tasks there is no greater than that of remaking men."
