(The Society for the Suppression of Vice)
To the Printers of the Kentish Gazette.
s.l.: s.n. 1802. Broadside 250 x 330mm printed on 1 side in 2 columns. Sometime folded in 3 old creases from prior folds 5mm split to one crease blank verso a little soiled. An anonymous letter commending the probity and social standing of the organisers of the newly-formed Society for the Suppression of Vice. The writer defends the society against allegations in the Times of December 4th 1802 that the Society did ‘pay a profligate and needy wretch to suborn to crimes in order to prosecute’ and highlighting their success in prosecuting a man ‘grown grey in his infamous and detestable trade. and had for years exhibited his abominable trash against the wall of Privy Garden Whitehall’. The Society for the Suppression of Vice was formed in 1802 against ‘profanation of the Lord's Day and profane swearing; publication of blasphemous licentious and obscene books and prints; selling by false weights and measures; keeping of disorderly public houses brothels and gaming houses; procuring; illegal lotteries and cruelty to animals’ per their 1803 publication ‘Address to the Public’ and persisted long enough to harangue Richard Burton for his unexpurgated Arabian Nights in 1885 petering out soon after. We can find no trace of this broadside in any library catalogues. [s.n.] unknown

(The Tribune Company)
ARCHITECTURE The International Competition for a New Administration Building for the Chicago Tribune cover title: Tribune Tower Competition
Chicago: The Tribune Company 1923. First Edition. Hardcover. Fine/fine. Large quarto 103pp. followed by 281 full-leaf plates. A crisp clean lovely copy about fine with the rear inner hinge just starting and two tiny and inexplicable tape mends to a rear blank. Touch of foxing to the edges. In the publisher’s notoriously fragile burlap binding with absolutely no repairs. In the rare dust jacket about fine with a few mild scrunches to the crown but no notable tears or chips. In what appears to be the publisher’s original box with hand-written title. Box with a number of partial cracks and some tape mends but still rather sound and complete. A very important volume of architectural history as this 1922 competition drew contestants from some of the most innovative firms in the field all of whom were working just after the widespread use of steel frame technology which allowed for the safe construction of buildings more than a few storeys tall. Among the entrants were Eliel Saarinen whose design was perceived by many to be the best Walter Gropius Adolf Loos Bertram Goodhue and many others. The winning entry conceived by Howells and Hood still stands today; an imposing neo-Gothic skyscraper at 435 N. Michigan Avenue. When the book is found in commerce it is almost always rebacked as the fragile burlap binding was absolutely no match for the heft of the coated paper used for the nearly 300 plates. Similarly burlap bindings have a tendency to destroy dust jackets which is why we’ve only even encountered one other copy in a jacket. As this copy was hardly ever taken out of its box it has been spared the seemingly inevitable fate of its brethren. An important volume of modern Architectural history genuinely rare in this condition. The Tribune Company hardcover

CLEVELAND VIEWBOOKS Cleveland Beautiful cover title
Cleveland: Whitworth Bros. 1904. First Edition. String bound. Very good. Oblong octavo unpaginated 48pp. Imprint dated 1904 introductory text dated 1905. A very good copy in the publisher's string-sewn wrappers. A few mild creases some marginal dust-soiling but a clean sound example. Quite scarce turn-of-the-century viewbook of Cleveland depicing a number of river and lakefront scenes showing the industrial powerhouse near its peak the opening text notes that Cleveland was at this time the seventh-largest American city by population. Scenes depicted include several prominent office buildings some private homes University Circle Gordon Park the Cleveland and Central Viaducts and a full-spread view of Public Square. Particularly interesting is the last image actually from a line drawing titled "The Group Plan of the Public Buildings of Cleveland. Birdseye View Looking South." The plan imagines almost a Haussmann-like boulevard system with grand marble and stone structures at the center of downtown; a kind of "road not taken." OCLC records four separately listed holdings worldwide; three at major Cleveland-area institutions WRHS CPL Oberlin and the other at Columbia University. (Whitworth Bros.) unknown

(THEOSOPHY: THE COULOMB AFFAIR). COULOMB, Emma
Some Account of My Association with Madame Blavatsky from 1872 to 1884.
Madras: Madras Christian College Magazine 1884. First edition of this infamous report. Extracted from the November 1884 issue of the Madras Christian College Magazine one suspects that this article comprised the entirety of the issue. Octavo. 112 pp. entirely devoted to this report by Emma Coulomb which severely damaged the Theosophical movement. Contemporary ersatz binding of plain brown wrappers with lighter brown taped for spine front cover with a paper label bearing the title in manuscript. Hinges reinforced. With the bookplate of noted 20th century magician Stanley Collins.A very good copy of the exceedingly rare publication.Blavatsky met Emma and Alexis in 1871 in Cairo. They founded the short-lived Societe Spirite. In August 1879 Emma and Alexis contacted Blavatsky because they had financial problems. They were stranded in Sri Lanka and Blavatsky helped them to get to Bombay and tried to find a job for them. As she could not find a job for them she provided them with a position in the Theosophical Society where they did various chores such as cooking and gardening. In February 1884 Blavatsky and H. S. Olcott travelled to Europe. Prior to their departure Emma had occasion to see what she considered to be fraud on the part of Blavatsky. Blavatsky was rightly famous for introducing the concept of Hidden Masters and their importance in Mankind's crawl toward apotheosis. Traditionally celebrants would seek the advice of a revered Ascended Master through Blavatsky. When Blavatsky asked a question the illuminati would send an answer down apparently originating in midair. Emma claimed to have gone to the room above where Blavatsky was hosting a seeker and she said she saw Blavatsky's assistant in that room dropping little slips of paper through a crack in the ceiling. After their departure a conflict between the Coulombs and the Theosophical Society escalated. The Coulombs tried to blackmail and threaten Blavatsky whereupon Blavatsky dismissed them.After the Coulombs were dismissed they went to their Christian missionary friends of the Free Church of Scotland and gave them letters that were allegedly written by Blavatsky to Emma. These letters suggested that Blavatsky was a fraud. The chaplain George Patterson published extracts from these letters in the Madras Christian College Magazine presented here The incident became well known all over India and also in America and Europe. Blavatsky immediately published a reply in several newspapers. Blavatsky and Olcott then traveled back to India at the end of 1884. Soon afterwards the Hodgson Report was published which further damaged Blavatsky's reputation. The Hodgson Report was an 1885 report by the Society for Psychical Research SPR on Helena Blavatsky and purportedly fraudulent Mahatma Letters. According to OCLC there is not record for the copy here presented. After wading throuh a miasma of red tape we think that there was a report issued in London in 1885 with a title page reading "Some account of my Intercourse with Madam Blavatsky" that followed the original report issued by the Madras Christian College Magazine in 1884 an obvious extract with the title page reading "Some Account of My Association with Madame Blavatsky. In either case it is exceeding rare with no copy ever ever having come up at auction and none ever offered in the trade that we could find. Madras Christian College Magazine unknown
