1813ref. 829801813. Rare Prospectus for a Legal Periodical: Only One Other Copy Known Legal Journal. Williams John of the Inner Temple. The Legal and Literary Journal and Mercantile Magazine. To be Continued Monthly And Number Three to be Published January 1st 1814. Conducted by John Williams Esq. Author of the Laws of Trade and Commerce &c. &c. Assisted by Several Literary and Commercial Gentlemen. London: S.n. circa 1813. 10-1/4" x 8" 26 cm x 20 cm broadside address of recipient and postmark to verso remnants of red wax seal. Moderate toning two horizontal fold lines. A very good copy of a rare item. $350. This is a rare and detailed prospectus for a periodical published under the guidance of John Williams a barrister and author of The Law of Wills and Codicils 1810 The Laws of Trade and Commerce 1812 and A Treatise on the Study and Practice of the Law 1823. Since the prospectus states that issue "Number Three" will be published in January 1814 it may be assumed that two issues had already been printed but today no issues of any date are found in Library Hub OCLC or in major libraries including the British Library or Library of Congress. This prospectus then with its five-part table giving the "Proposed Arrangement" of topics may preserve all that remains of the content and intentions of this serial. The themes of the "Legal Department" included "1. A Copious Epitome of the Decisions in the Courts of Law and Equity as also in the Prize Courts. 2. A Full and Faithful Abridgement of the Public Statutes Immediately on Their Receiving the Royal Signature. 3. Dissertations on Constitutional Subjects. 4. Dissertations on the Various Branches of Law" and 5. Legal Biography. " Rarely will a prospectus state its own print run but this one does: 3000 copies. As we find only one other exemplar in the world at Yale Law School the rarity may be calculated with unusual exactness: the survival rate for copies of this prospectus being one fifteenth of 1%. Yale's catalogue record does not indicate a manuscript address. Ours is addressed on its verso to Robert Thorpe 1771-1847 attorney and Clerk of the Peace in Alnwick Northumberland. There are many extant copies of Williams's treatises. By contrast his periodical The Legal and Literary Journal and its prospectus are his rarest productions by. unknown books

[Diary] [Women's Social History] Catherine Harrison SquibbABAA

An heiress grows into womanhood in a changing world documenting five years of her life in the US and Europe

1911ref. 6011US Germany 1911. Red cloth over card with gilt to front board. All edges stained read. Measuring 200 x 170mm and containing 186 handwritten pages across five years. Dried flowers and theatre program loosely inserted at front. Ownership signature and bookplate of Catherine Harrison Squibb to front pastedown and endpaper with signature of the same to rear endpaper. A research rich and densely written diary the present would be useful in fields including but not limited to intergenerational wealth and its relationship to emotional abuse women's education and educational travel early 20th century reading habits modern friendship courtship and romance and women's increased mobility and travel. The second daughter of Charles Fellow Squibb himself the second son of pharmaceutical boss Dr. E. R. Squibb Catherine Harrison Squibb was raised in economic privilege. Her earliest years were spent in the Brooklyn townhouse built for her parents by her grandfather while her teen years were split between her father's historic estate of Welwood and her boarding school in Dresden. At Welwood Charles always considered as "the lesser son" according to his E.R.'s journals followed in his father's controlling footsteps by "purchasing polo ponies setting about learning to jump" and "insisting his children do the same.to maintain the lifestyle of the landed gentry" Belcher. This is confirmed in the opening entry of the diary October 25 1906 near Catherine's 16th birthday where she reports "I rode side-saddle with Rosalie in the morning.rode again in the afternoon ist richerverlobt! er est 62 --- alt!!" The numerous rides do not seem to entirely please Catherine as she hides her frustration in the German parenthetical roughly "he is engaged to be a judge! he is 62 years old!!". Three days later on her birthday she spends her time significantly differently clowning with her brother and aunt and "playing tennis in the afternoon." This becomes something of a tradition as her birthday entries report several times "played tennis all afternoon" She also notes her time in French and German lessons -- with German becoming more frequent during and after her time at school in Dresden especially when she wants to obfuscate her thoughts from unwanted readers. If this diary is any indication music and reading travel and school became refuges for Catherine. And she claimed as much time as she could to find independence and develop herself outside of Charles' strict rules. Her reading preferences reflect this desire to immerse herself in Jane Austen's world of social visits and balls where family conflict is eventually smoothed by a woman's exit to a loving partner and home of her own. "Good day!" she writes on April 29 1908 "Stayed in bed all day. I finished Pride & Prejudice and began Emma." This is contrast against her reaction to Charlotte Bronte's work on May 1 of the same year: "Cold & windy. We came in on the 9.30. Aunts at Welwood.had music lesson.I began Jane Eyre. Dismal book!" Her tone and word choice reflect the most happiness in these circumstances whereas riding is reported like a duty -- she may report what time of day and what horse but no expressions of joy accompany them. While the diary concludes in 1911 when Catherine is 21 we know that she would return to Europe from 1917-1919 as a nurse in WWI watching her own country battle her beloved Germany. Within the time her father had sold his birthright in Squibb and with "his extravagant lifestyle eating through his money quickly.he was forced to sell Welwood.not long thereafter he went to France" and never returned to the US Belcher. In 1920 she would marry veteran and shoe manufacturing foreman Raymond Pratt moving with him to Pasadena California and becoming a civic leader. Much deeper work can be done on Catherine's lives and relationships especially considering the current cultural trends of novels films and series depicting both the glamour and the emotional squalor of the 1%. unknown books

As Surrency notes many articles in this journal "have an enduring quality which makes them enjoyable reading even today. Several historical articles are invaluable as a source of legal history of New York. Generally each issue began with a page or two of current topics reporting on amusing and human tragedies as revealed in the court room. It is only in the pages of such journals that bizarre behaviors are found. For example the defendant who invited the jury over for a meal after being acquitted in Des Moines Iowa would never be recorded in any other legal literature. Full texts of decisions as well as digest are printed from many of the state courts. The book review shows a perception of legal literature that subsequent reviewers have not shown. One can only admire the work of the editor who kept this publication going for those years. Certainly the two editors should receive greater recognition in legal literature for their contributions. Issac B. Thompson and Irving Browne were authors with literary flair rarely found in the legal profession. Their articles were vigorous graceful and often elegant." One of the most important periodical legal publications of the post-Civil War period the Albany Law Journal was an outspoken supporter of David Dudley Field's efforts at codification and law reform.

Mexican Literary History and Luis González Obregón's El Pensador Mexicano 1918

1918ref. 216641918. González Obregón Luis. El Pensador Mexicano: Diálogos sobre cosas de su tiempo sacados del olvido 1918 returns José Joaquín Fernández de Lizardi's reformist literary persona to circulation during the post-revolutionary reconstruction of Mexican historical memory. González Obregón a historian and chronicler of Mexico City selected and presented dialogues associated with "El Pensador Mexicano" Lizardi's influential pseudonym using early republican and nineteenth-century commentary to address national identity civic criticism and cultural inheritance. The issue belongs to Mexican literary-historical culture illustrating how post-revolutionary editors used earlier political writing to recover models of social critique and public intellectual life. González Obregón Luis. El Pensador Mexicano: Diálogos sobre cosas de su tiempo sacados del olvido. México: Cultura 1918. First edition. T. VI Núm. 6. Portada de Valerio Prieto. 78 pages and one leaf. Original printed wrappers with red architectural cover design incorporating Mexico City's Metropolitan Cathedral 8vo. Bibliographic records identify the work as part of the Cultura series and note Valerio Prieto's cover while Stanford records the imprint as México: Typ. Murguía 1918. The wrappers' cathedral imagery links the publication visually to Mexico City's colonial and national past while the text's title "sacados del olvido" states its recovery project directly. Published in 1918 during the unsettled years following the Mexican Revolution and the 1917 Constitution the issue participates in a broader effort to define Mexican civic culture through historical recovery rather than through contemporary polemic alone. González Obregón's treatment of Lizardi places journalism dialogue and moral criticism within a lineage of Mexican public letters useful for studying post-revolutionary literary nationalism and the preservation of nineteenth-century intellectual traditions. Covers heavily worn with edge chipping significant loss to upper right and lower margins and spine creasing; interior pages browned but intact with foxing and minor corner wear; good. A fragile Cultura-series issue connecting post-revolutionary Mexican historical consciousness with the legacy of Lizardi's public criticism. unknown books

Woodson documenting the institutionalization of Black historical scholarship in the United States and advancing early academic study of African American military service political rights and diaspora culture. Issued by the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History which Woodson co-founded in 1915 these volumes situate Black experience within national and Atlantic frameworks including Revolutionary War service Reconstruction governance and twentieth-century military participation. The selection highlights how mid-century scholars constructed a documentary record of African American life in direct response to exclusion from mainstream historiography with particular emphasis on suffrage labor naval service and racial legislation.

Sires's analysis of the Jamaica Slave Insurrection Loan 1832-1863 and Harold Courlander's "Profane Songs of the Haitian People" presenting vernacular cultural material from Haiti. 2 Wesley Charles H. "Negro Suffrage in the Period of Constitution-Making 1787-1865." The Journal of Negro History. Vol. XXXII No. 2. Washington D.C.: ASNLH 1947.

"The Participation of Negro Delegates in the Constitutional Convention of 1868 in North Carolina." The Journal of Negro History. Vol. XXXIV No. 4. Washington D.C.: ASNLH 1949. Documents Black political participation in Reconstruction governance. Additional contributions include Joseph H. Taylor on disfranchisement in Alabama Jessie P. Guzman on Monroe Nathan Work's scholarly contributions and a reprinted 1774 letter by Phillis Wheatley identified by Benjamin Quarles.

A cohesive grouping illustrating how Black historians and intellectuals built an evidentiary foundation for African American history as a formal academic discipline in the mid twentieth century. unknown books

1924ref. 217871924. Woodson Carter Godwin. The Journal of Negro History. Archive of three landmark issues published between 1924 and 1928 documenting the institutional development of African American historical scholarship during the early twentieth century. The material records Black intellectual production historical recovery and scholarly publishing through the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History founded by Carter G. Woodson and Jesse E. Moorland in 1915. These issues include Black scholarship challenging white supremacist interpretations of Reconstruction slavery labor and African diasporic history through archival research and independent academic publication. The journal served as one of the central vehicles through which African American historians established scholarly networks disseminated original research and institutionalized the study of Black history within American intellectual life. The archive provides primary-source evidence for the emergence of modern African American historiography and the scholarly movement that later gave rise to Negro History Week and Black History Month. Woodson Carter Godwin ed. The Journal of Negro History. Lancaster PA and Washington D.C.: The Association for the Study of Negro Life and History 1924 1926 and 1928. Three issues in publisher's printed wrappers comprising Vol. IX No. 3 July 1924; Vol. XI No. 3 July 1926; and Vol. XIII No. 3 July 1928. Each issue measures approximately 10 x 6.5 inches and ranges between 120 and 176 pages. 1 Vol. IX No. 3 July 1924. Devoted primarily to Alrutheus Ambush Taylor's major study "The Negro in South Carolina During the Reconstruction" examining demographic change labor transition religion education and political organization in the post-emancipation South. Written while Taylor served as the first full-time Black researcher employed by Woodson's organization the study foregrounds African American agency during Reconstruction and anticipates interpretive frameworks later expanded by W.E.B. Du Bois in Black Reconstruction. 2 Vol. XI No. 3 July 1926. Continues Taylor's Reconstruction scholarship with "The Negro in the Reconstruction of Virginia" detailing Black political participation church organization disenfranchisement campaigns and the reestablishment of white political control in Virginia after Reconstruction. The article constitutes one of the earliest extended scholarly treatments of Black Reconstruction politics in the state. 3 Vol. XIII No. 3 July 1928. Broadens the journal's scope beyond the Reconstruction South through studies including N. Andrew N. Cleven's "The First Panama Mission and the Congress of the United States" W. Sherman Savage's early survey "The Negro in the History of the Pacific Northwest" and Jean Trapp's "The Liverpool Movement for the Abolition of the English Slave Trade." The issue additionally includes Ruth A. Fisher's extensive 109-page documentary compilation "Extracts from the Records of the African Companies" reproducing archival material relating to British commercial participation in the transatlantic slave trade. These issues record the emergence of African American historical scholarship as an organized intellectual discipline during a period when Black historians faced systematic exclusion from mainstream academic institutions and publishing networks. The journal's sustained attention to Reconstruction history preceded revisionist scholarship that later transformed the field with early interpretations centered on Black political participation labor and institutional development rather than Lost Cause narratives dominant in white historiography of the era. Studies on the Pacific Northwest Panama and British antislavery movements extend the journal's diasporic approach to Black history beyond the American South.

Women's Employment History: Remarks on the Obstacles to the More General Employment of Women Challenging Workplace Discrimination and Male Labor Opposition 1860

1860ref. 165691860. J. B. Remarks on the Obstacles to the More General Employment of Women and on the Means of Removing Them 1860. First edition of a pamphlet advocating expanded employment opportunities for British women and identifying discriminatory hiring practices opposition from male workers and limited occupational choices as causes of female poverty. Published through the English Woman's Journal a periodical closely associated with the Langham Place circle of women's rights reformers the pamphlet appeared during an organized campaign to open professions and skilled occupations previously reserved for men. Its author directly challenges workplace resistance to female labor: "Women however cannot be employed in England in this manner because of the jealousy of their fellow workmen. If a master were to employ women in any part of the business the whole of his workmen would strike at once." The passage identifies threatened industrial action by male employees as a practical obstacle to women's economic advancement even when employers were willing to hire them. J. B. Remarks on the Obstacles to the More General Employment of Women and on the Means of Removing Them. London: Published at the Office of the English Woman's Journal Company Limited 1860. First edition. 16 pages. Original paper wrappers measuring 8¼ x 5¼ inches. Reprinted from the English Woman's Journal the pamphlet examines barriers preventing women from obtaining sufficient paid employment and proposes measures to expand their opportunities. The author connects occupational exclusion with increasing demands upon public and private charitable institutions: "Workhouses were found to be overcrowded with able-bodies females while charities were besieged with women praying to be provided either with employment or bread." These observations link women's unemployment directly to poverty relief while the discussion of male workers' resistance identifies the exclusionary practices that prevented women from entering better-paid occupations. The pamphlet was published shortly after the establishment of the Society for Promoting the Employment of Women in 1859 an organization associated with Jessie Boucherett Barbara Leigh Smith Bodichon and other members of the Langham Place circle. The Society sought to expand women's access to commercial clerical and skilled employment through vocational training and direct engagement with employers. The pamphlet's discussion of workplace opposition and overcrowded workhouses provides contemporary evidence of the economic conditions these reformers sought to address preceding later campaigns for women's property rights and equal access to professions.
