A member in the teens and twenties of the "Die Junge" school of Yiddish poets and playwrights who consciously avoided the social themes of their "Sweatshop Poet" forebears Steinberg appears by the late thirties to have embraced a more proletarian world view; the current work deals frankly with poverty crime anti-Semitism and "the degeneration of the governing class by power largely misused" from the jacket copy. <br/><br/>The book was composed in English though nearly all Steinberg's earlier published work was written in Yiddish. Text Illustrations rather crudely reproduced by S. Witkewitz Louis Lodowick Rinaldo Cuneo Hilda Katz George Grosz others. Uncommon in dustjacket this is a fairly well-preserved copy.

Webster Noah 1758 1843
EARLY AMERICAN SCALEBOARD BINDING. The prompter; or a commentary on common sayings and subjects.
Boston: printed and sold by John W. Folsom 1794. Fourth Edition. Good. 12mo in 6's. 140 x 87 mm. A-H6 = 48 ff COMPLETE AND UNSOPHISTICATED. Paper-covered scaleboard binding with sheep spine hinges cracked paper almost completely removed from covers wood chipped away at corners leather chipped at head of spine leather rubbed along spine. Front binder's blank slightly detatched pages browned small water stain on bottom edge of back pastedown inscription on p. 18. Ownership inscription of Joseph Gould on verso of final binder's blank see below. A scarce 18th-century American scaleboard binding on a popular work by Noah Webster. Despite the modesty of the present binding its first owner Joseph Gould was clearly a discerning bibliophile: on page 18 he has written: "If any should chance this book to red sic let keep his fingers clean." <br/><br/>Scaleboard a.k.a. scabbard or scabboard was made from very thin sheets of wood that had been split going towards the grain instead of being sawed. Whereas the survival rate of early American scaleboard bindings is not high owing to their fragile nature they were once in great abundance used in place of paste or pulpboard from the 1680s until the mid-nineteenth century most often on widely disseminated texts such as this one. In the present binding the grain of the scaleboard is horizontal a common New England practice.<br/><br/>The present text was first printed in Hartford in 1791 and was reprinted well into the 19th century. Webster's authorship of the text was revealed in an advertisement in the "American Minerva" dated January 16 1796 which Webster had established in 1793 as New York's first daily newspaper and edited for four years. Called "the father of American scholarship and education" Webster was a prolific writer and textbook pioneer his "Blue-Backed Speller" books educating generations of American children. His name became practically synonymous with the word "dictionary" when his first dictionary "A Compendious Dictionary of the English Language" was published in 1806.<br/><br/>Provenance: inscribed "Stoneham / January 28 Day 1795 / Joseph Gould His / Book." This may be Lieut. Joseph Gould 1767-1800 who is buried at the Old Burying Ground sic in Stoneham. <br/><br/>Only one other copy of this edition appears on the market though not in a scaleboard binding.<br/><br/>Sabin 102383; Evans 28050; Skeel E.E.F.

The pamphlet attacks "the mad projects of designing men" Jeffersonians who favor "revolutionizing Connecticut" and who seek "to subvert the system of our State government-- to remove from office all those venerable men who have hitherto conducted our affairs and to fill their places with individuals from their own body." The author recommends a list of satisfactory candidates for the upcoming State elections. They include Oliver Ellsworth William Hillhouse David Daggett Chauncey Goodrich Simeon Baldwin Matthew Griswold Jabez Clark-- all respectable Federalists.

Webster Noah? Van Ness William Peter?
A LETTER TO THE SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY ON THE COMMERCE AND CURRENCY OF THE UNITED STATES. BY ARISTIDES
New-York: Printed by C.S. Van Winkle 1819. 39 1 blank pp. Disbound wrapper remnants in inner margins of first and last page. Light soil Good or so. <br/><br/> This pamphlet advocates in response to the Panic of 1819 "two restrictions on banks: first they may discount no 'accommodation paper' i.e. simple loans that were not self-liquidating in the course of active trade; and second that they grant no renewals of loans." The absence of such restrictions the author argues encouraged excessive speculations and brought about the depression. See Rothbard 'The Panic of 1819' page 132 1962. As evidence Aristides cites the "wild enthusiasm" which characterized resumption of commerce after the 1815 Treaty of Ghent and the resulting extensions of credit "to the utmost limit." <br/> Authorship has been variously attributed to Webster and Van Ness. Skeel doubts Webster's hand. "Among other reasons she states that the Letter does not seem to be written in his style and that she finds no allusion to it in his letters. The pamphlet has also been ascribed to William P. Van Ness another who used the pseudonym 'Aristides.'" <br/>Sabin. <br/>AI 49978 4. Sabin 102364. See Skeel page 563 note 12. Printed by C.S.

Vile Professor and Chair Political Science Department Middle Tennessee State University Murfreesboro TN. Reprinted 2008 by The Lawbook Exchange Ltd. ISBN-13: 9781584778561; ISBN-10: 1584778563. Hardcover. New. $49.95 Although Webster 1758-1843 is remembered today as a lexicographer he was equally active as a political writer. As is the case with his dictionary and grammar textbooks his political essays are strongly patriotic and embody a confidence that the United States would soon become a great nation. He composed Sketches of American Policy at a time when the nationally minded segments of the political class were beginning to pursue plans to create a strong federal government to replace the Confederation Congress. Seeing this as a necessary step to ensure the nation's progress Webster endorsed this cause and he wrote this pamphlet to promote it. During his tours throughout the states he presented copies of Sketches to several people who would become delegates to the Constitutional Convention including George Washington James Madison and Benjamin Franklin. The pamphlet circulated widely among the delegates and was an important influence in their debates. Interesting for this reason it is equally valuable as a contemporary critique of the Articles of Confederation by a gifted scholar who associated with the leading statesmen of the day. unknown books

Cham 22<br/>39. Moi je suis ravitaillé!. le rests m'est égal Daumier 3851<br/>40. Après le Siége Cham 113<br/><br/>"Particularly to be noted are his bitter reflections on the legend which Charlet Bellangé Raffet and their imitators had helped to create. The desolate battleground of "The empire means peace" no. 26 offers an ironic commentary on an epigram uttered by Napoleon III in 1852. His "Square Napoleon" no. 14 displays the gravestones of those for whose death the Emperor has been responsible beginning with the Boulevard Monmartre in the winter of 1851 and ending with Sedan in 1870. In Cham's "The reverse of the Saint Helena medal" no. 30 indeed the country's disaster is attributed specifically to Napoleon Bonaparte as well as to Napoleon III. Daumier's first plate for 1871 showing France "Appalled by her heritage" no. 17 is bleak indeed but a later design offers a gleam of hope: "Poor France!. The trunk blasted but the roots hold fast" no. 33.<br/><br/>It should be mentioned that Cham's contributions to this album though trivial in comparison with Daumier's monumental compositions are by no means negligible. He provides the detail that Daumier omitted. The horrors of the bombardment are recorded in his plates but so too is the black humor of Parisian life during the siege. For example he shows the population pursuing food in any form - horses cats rats even a large woman regarded with speculation by an impudent boy: "No more meat! - Let's go then!" no. 20.<br/><br/>The plates included in Album du siège were transferred to zinc for engraving by Gillot's process rather than printed directly from Daumier's lithographic stones."

A later edition of Webster's greatly influential spelling book. "In 1783 Noah Webster published A Grammatical Institute of the English Language. It was a concise dictionary for adults and a precursor to the 1828/1829 compendium An American Dictionary of the English Language. Webster modeled his spellers and dictionaries after English imports but included American words definitions and pronunciations. He believed that Americanizing spelling grammar and pronunciation would unify the new nation. Webster revised the first speller in 1787 under the title of The American Spelling Book and included tables of pronunciations common abbreviations and reading lessons for schools at the back of the book. Webster's son William adapted this sequel for school children in 1844 shortly after his father's death. This edition was used by the majority of literate Americans well into the mid-20th century."

Webster Noah
A COLLECTION OF ESSAYS AND FUGITIV sic WRITINGS. ON MORAL HISTORICAL POLITICAL AND LITERARY SUBJECTS
Boston: I. Thomas and E.T. Andrews 1790. xvi414pp. Modern half calf with early calf corners laid down on the outer corners marbled boards spine gilt leather label. Leather bookplate of William Safire on front pastedown with a handful of marginal pencil notations in the text likely in his hand. Mild offsetting on titlepage minor toning. Overall very good. Noted grammarian and pundit William Safire's copy of the first collection of Noah Webster's writings demonstrating the broad reach of the pioneering lexicographer's genius. Webster's essays touch a variety of topics from the new constitution to the practical reasons why marriage between cousins is discouraged. Of particular note is the presence of many words that are spelled phonetically such as "Guvernment" "Skools" and "Karacter." This editorial decision was in keeping with Webster's growing desire to simplify language and qualify it in American as opposed to British ways by dispensing with unnecessary vowels and misleading consonant pairings such as "ch" for "k". The language experiments played out here demonstrate an important step in Webster's development as lexicographer which would would culminate in the publication of Webster's famous dictionary nearly forty years later in 1828. A charming Webster item with a notable linguistics-related provenance having been owned by William Safire the preeminent popular language and grammar expert of the 20th century. Safire was an author journalist and speechwriter who wrote the long-running column "On Language" for the New York Times. An attractive copy by the foundational American language expert owned by the most notable public expert on language in 20th-century America. NAIP w030387. EVANS 23053. SKEEL 745. BRINLEY SALE 7292.
