1850réf. 62509Boston: Redding and Company 1850. Opposing the Extension of Slavery in the Territories with Interesting Provenance Boston edition of a speech by Horace Mann before the United States House of Representatives in which Mann declares his opposition to the extension of slavery in the territories. Horace Mann 1796-1859 was an education reformer politician and abolitionist from Massachusetts. In 1848 following the death of John Quincy Adams Mann was elected to the U.S. House to serve out the remainder of Adams's term. For more than a decade Mann had fought for education reform as secretary of the Massachusetts State Board of Education and he hoped his seat in Congress would give him the opportunity to bring about reform at the national level. Instead however Mann found himself preoccupied with what was perhaps the most pressing political issue of the day: slavery and its extension in the territories. This is the subject of the present speech given on the floor of the House of Representatives on February 15 1850. In it Mann states his opposition to slavery and its extension on moral and legal grounds. Embracing "the epithet 'Free-Soiler'" Mann insists that he "will engage in any honorable measure most likely to secure freedom to the new Territories" and "resist any and every measure that proposes to abandon them to slavery." Mann goes on to adopt the rallying cry "No more slave Territories no more slave States." Given the South's ultimatum of extension or secession Mann closes with what turned out to be his most forceful – and most controversial – statement: "In conclusion I have only to add that such is my solemn and abiding conviction of the character of slavery that under a full sense of my responsibility to my country and my God I deliberately say better disunion - better a civil or a servile war - better any thing that God in his providence shall send than an extension of the bounds of slavery." Much to Mann's disappointment later that year saw the passage of the Compromise of 1850 which not only failed to prohibit slavery's extension in the territories but worse still Mann thought included the Fugitive Slave Act which required the return of escaped slaves to their owners while denying them the rights of habeas corpus and a trial by jury. Mann's outspoken opposition to the act as well as his criticism of fellow Whig Daniel Webster who helped broker the compromise cost Mann the party's nomination for his congressional seat in 1850. However in a turn of events that in retrospect made his comments from the previous February about being a "Free-Soiler" seem prophetic Mann managed to secure the Free Soil nomination before going on to win reelection by a landslide. This copy bears the bookplate of Walter L. Pforzheimer 1914-2003 a lawyer intelligence officer and book collector. Pforzheimer was one of the founders of the Central Intelligence Agency having served as an Army Air Force intelligence officer and worked on a number of operations for the Office of Strategic Services - the forerunner to the C.I.A. - during World War II. Among these was an operation called the "Yale Library Project" a mission for which Pforzheimer as a member of the Yale Library Associates used his role as a cover to launder money for the O.S.S. In 1956 Pforzheimer founded the C.I.A.'s Historical Intelligence Collection and went on to serve as the collection's first curator. The rear wrapper of this Boston edition notes other speeches on slavery published by Redding and Company including by Henry Clay John C. Calhoun and William Seward.

1965réf. 132240Germany: Atlas Films 1965. Original German A1 poster for a 1965 re-release of the 1930 German film. From the collection of noted film historian Amos Vogel. Full provenance available. Marlene Dietrich became an immediate international star on the strength of her performance as the temptress Lola Frohlich in Josef von Sternberg's classic tale of love and obsession. Professor Immanuel Rath Emil Jannings is a strict and humorless schoolmaster who is shocked when he discovers the boys in his class have been spending their time at a sleazy cabaret called The Blue Angel where an entertainer named Lola Dietrich keeps the men in thrall and sells suggestive postcards of herself. "The Blue Angel" was shot in both German and English language versions; the German is preferable as most of the cast were obviously more expert in that tongue. Dietrich introduced what would become her theme song "Falling In Love Again" in this film. 23 x 33 inches folded. Several short tears at the edges light rubbing. Very Good plus overall.

1853réf. h45580Syracuse: Hall Mills and Company 1853. First Edition. Hardcover. Very good. 12mo period binding of half brown calf and paper-covered boards very good light wear and rubbing contents a bit tanned and foxed throughout 1878 pencil gift inscription on flyleaf bookseller's old tag on pastedown J. T. Heald Bookbinder Wilmington DE. 141 pp. First printings are rare in the trade and at auction. The work consists of two lectures Mann delivered in 1853 and 1854 in which he explores women's role in society arguing for the importance of education for women and their unique capacity to shape the moral character of those around them. From what we can gather from online sources in these lectures Mann who was the leading early 19th-century proponent of public school education expresses a degree of ambivalence about women's social roles and the relations between men and women. Rather than positing two entirely separate "spheres" for the sexes Mann reframed the traditional "woman's sphere" as a hemisphere - one half of a single shared orb of human interaction - emphasizing that each sex is necessary as the complement of the other. Consistent with his broader educational philosophy Mann believed women were particularly well suited to teaching and to the moral elevation of society and the lectures advocate giving women access to quality education so they can fulfill that role. He also argued that women should be permitted to participate in public life and be accorded the same legal rights as men - though a contemporary feminist critic Ernestine Rose sharply challenged his lectures accusing him of "pandering to prejudiced public opinion" by confining woman's greatest duty to the cradle and to educating children. Overall the work sits in interesting tension: progressive in its call for women's education and rights yet still tethered to 19th-century notions of feminine moral influence and domestic purpose.
