1960réf. 232671960. Drug education pamphlets issued across the late twentieth century recording the shift from the publicization of recreational drug use in the 1960s into the broader drug crisis language of the crack era and the AIDS years when intoxication dependency overdose and injection risk became central subjects of school and public health. These pamphlets reduce a wide range of drugs into a simple public warning system meant for students parents and other non-specialist readers. They sort marijuana stimulants depressants narcotics hallucinogens and inhalants into clear categories translate drug culture into recognizable slang and everyday terms and stress the bodily psychological legal and social consequences of use. Archive of 13 educational drug safety pamphlets. 1960s-1990s chiefly 1980s. United States. Multi-page folded and staple-bound pamphlets ranging from 2.5" x 8" to 5.25" x 8.5" including seven color-coded Channing L. Bete drug-class pamphlets which include slang terms for each category and their side affects; a foldout Drug Abuse Products Reference Chart; a Pharmaceutical Manufacturers Association identification folder; and six additional educational pieces on prescription drugs marijuana and drug-abuse identification with references for educators and parents identifying "the effects of drug abuse" and "how to identify the user." Across these pieces the public view of drugs after the counterculture era's focuses on the long term affects of usage with language centered on dependency traffic injury social incompetence arrest and health deterioration with cocaine heroin and injectable drug use entering a climate already shaped by crack panic and by heightened fear surrounding blood-borne disease in the AIDS years. Prescription medicine abuse is not separated from illicit consumption here with tranquilizers barbiturates methaqualone diet pills and doctor-prescribed drugs appearing in the same educational field as heroin and crack. Minor creasing and toning; overall very good condition. This archive traces the broader American perspective shift on drugs from deviant recreation to public health and safety. unknown

Seven pamphlets relating to The Battle of Toulon also known as the Battle of Cape Sicié which took place between 21 and 22 February 1744 near the French Mediterranean port of Toulon. Although France was not yet at war with Great Britain ships from their Levant Fleet combined with a Spanish force which had been trapped in Toulon for two years to break the blockade imposed by the British Mediterranean Fleet. The initial engagement on 21 February was largely indecisive and the British continued their pursuit until midday on 22nd before their commander Admiral Thomas Mathews called off the chase. With several of his ships in need of repair he withdrew to Menorca which meant the Royal Navy temporarily lost control of the waters around Italy and allowed the Spanish to take the offensive against Savoy. Admiral Mathews and several others were censured while Rear-Admiral Lestock was acquitted causing scandal and outrage. In his report Mathews blamed his subordinate Richard Lestock for the failure and the issue was hotly debated in Parliament. At the subsequent court-martial Mathews was held responsible and dismissed from the navy in June 1747 while Lestock's political connections meant he was cleared of all charges. Another seven captains were removed from command for failing to engage the enemy and the investigation led to changes that required individual captains to be far more aggressive.

Miller 730; Smith Friends' Books I p. 240. For "Observations": Sabin 4676; Evans 8542. Boards a little dried and scuffed with a couple of small stains text variably toned because of colonial paper quality perhaps a fifth of the text rather browned dampstaining in the upper margin in the middle part of the volume mostly unobtrusive but darker and extending downward on a few leaves. The texts in the kind of problematic condition expected with early American imprints but the binding much better than is normally seen. This is a presentation copy of an important published collection of Quaker texts that includes four works printed by Benjamin Franklin as well as an early significant abolitionist tract that delivers a powerful condemnation of the slave trade. The collection title page lists nine tracts in total six of which were issued with separate title pages comprising: "An Extract from the Spirit of Prayer" by W. Law; "A Discourse on Mistakes concerning Religion" by Thomas Hartley; "Christ's Spirit or a Christian's Strength" "The Stumbling Stone" "The Doctrine of Baptism" and "The Trial of Spirits" all by William Dell; "The Liberty of Flesh and Spirit Distinguished" by J. Rutty; and "Observations on Enslaving Importing and Purchasing of Negroes &c." followed by "The Uncertainty of a Death-bed Repentance" both by Anthony Benezet. Miller asserts that "the first fifth sixth and seventh had previously been printed by Benjamin Franklin and David Hall all in Caslon type. The remainder had been printed by Christopher Saur who owned no Caslon letter." The volume title also in Calson type is attributed to the press of Franklin and Hall for the same reason. According to Miller Anthony Benezet put together this collection of Quaker material in the spring of 1760 in an edition of 500 copies with the hope of reaching those living "in ye back Parts of Maryland Virginia & N. Carolina . . . and Connecticut." First printed in 1759 Benezet's forceful denunciation of the slave trade is notable for using eyewitness accounts from people actually involved with the trade recounting the horrific practices and conditions that were realities of the system. Citing various lines of scripture Benezet argues that slavery runs contrary to Christian teachings and Mosaic law and that those who purchase and keep slaves bear as much guilt as the traders themselves. Born in France to Huguenot parents Benezet 1713-84 was a Quaker abolitionist educator and writer who became one of the earliest and most outspoken advocates against slavery in colonial America. He emigrated to Philadelphia by way of Rotterdam and London in 1731 where he founded Pennsylvania's first secondary school for girls and later opened one of the first schools to welcome black students. ANB says that "Although Benezet is recognized as the most prolific antislavery propagandist of the eighteenth century throughout his lifetime he supported and wrote about a wide variety of causes and topics including assistance for Acadian refugees temperance peace fair treatment of Native Americans religion educational reform and poor relief." His wife Joyce Benezet d. 1786 née Marriott was a preacher in the faith herself. According to Waldstreicher Franklin maintained a "lifelong friendship with Quaker politicians merchants and scientists. . . . He admired Quakerism because of its affirmation of simplicity frugality anti-slavery and humanitarianism." Franklin also saw the possibility of profit in printing for the considerable Quaker population of his colony. Hall 1714-72 came to Philadelphia from London in 1744 to work for Franklin and became a partner in the firm in 1748. As a considerable mark of his regard for Hall Franklin drew up a contract whereby his partner would over an 18-year period buy him out. It is a further sign of Franklin's regard for Hall that the printer is buried beside Franklin and his wife. As to contemporaneous provenance we can speculate with some degree of certainty that our William Anderson was the person of that name who was a Quaker preacher from Haverford near Philadelphia. His wife Margaret--like Benezet's wife Joyce--was also a preacher and these two husband-and-wife teams are dealt with in Rebecca Larson's "Daughter of Light: Quaker Women Preaching and Prophesying in the Colonies and Abroad 1700-1775" 1999 Appendix 2. .
