1830Best.-Nr. 4844Paris 1830. 8vo. Peytieux colophon: Sétier Later black half morocco with short-title on spine marbled paper sides. With a lithographed title-page with an illustration and a small woodcut decoration on the letterpress title-page. 14 2 pp. Very rare first and only edition of a short play criticizing new regulations issued by the Paris police in 1830 regarding prostitution specifically the ordinance proclaiming that prostitutes were no longer allowed to go out on the streets at night. The author argues that the new regulations are bad for business since one does not buy something without having seen it first. The play ends with the ladies of pleasure bidding adieu to France. They will go to a less barbaric country suggesting America in the knowledge that they will soon be missed as France "cannot do without them". Lithographed title-page closely trimmed at the outer margin some minor foxing otherwise in very good condition.l CCfr 3 copies; Gay-Lemonnyer II 312; WorldCat 1 same copy; not in Sudoc. unknown

1828Best.-Nr. 5421London: T. Birt 1828. First edition. Single sheet measuring 250 x 185mm and printed in two columns to recto. Some edgewear to margins not affecting text; a bit of foxing and toning largely confined to margins. A scarce and delicate survivor OCLC documents only one example at the National Library of Scotland. The present is the only example on the market. The Dandy Wife is narrated by a man who aimed "to choose me out a loving wife" at the age of twenty-one but whose experience becomes a warning to "all young men of high renown": "If you want a tidy wife Beware of a boarding school." What unfolds is a satire of how the marriage economy is affected when women have access to knowledge -- intellectual and physical -- and how by meeting a man's superficial expectations a woman can fulfill her own more pressing needs. Thinking that a boarding school girl will have the innocence submissiveness and domestic skill he desires the narrator selects a wife from among their ranks. Thinking only of what he can obtain from such a bargain he is unprepared for what an educated woman brings into his house. The Dandy Wife he describes understands the commodity value of her own beauty and material adornment and that these are her key means for acquiring wealth of her own. "She takes one-half of what I earn In drinking gin and tea; Besides such frills and furbelows My Dandy Wife does wear.Her sleeves upon her dandy gown Oh! Lack they're such a size You'd think they were two balloons that in the air would rise." Aside from staying on par with fashion trends her clothing assists her in avoiding domestic tasks she abhors. She refuses to do laundry more than monthly and through ridiculous cooking failures she rapidly establishes that the kitchen is not a showcase for her skillset. Accustomed to a life of learning she is not trained to conduct domestic business. By the ballad's end it becomes clear that the Dandy Wife was savvier in managing a marriage than her husband was. For not only does her superior intellect help her carve out a more satisfying role but she also has physical knowledge that predates him: "The day that I was married I thought I'd got a charming maid But I was much deceived.For scarce five months we'd married been When she had a darling son.

1911Best.-Nr. 3745Seattle 1911. Very good. 4pp. on a single folded sheet. Two old horizontal folds partially reinforced with cello tape. A stark and sobering illustrated leaflet calling to action the parents and citizens of Seattle to help close a house of prostitution in the city and at the same time stop the construction of another across the street. Apparently a local businessman former mayor and current mayoral candidate named H.C. Gill allowed for the construction of a large dormitory-style building which housed 250 prostitutes; recently the foundation was laid for another building across the street slightly larger that would accommodate around 300 girls. The authors of the present leaflet implore the reader to vote against Gill the candidate who would "ratify the construction and operation of these buildings and the placing of 500 young girls inside as white slaves under the plea that such a thing is necessary for the Alaskans and the men of this city." The authors ask "Do the women of this city want 500 girls to be compelled to ply a shameful avocation in little cells 8x12 all night" And they beg voters to reject the candidacy of H.C. Gill as mayor in order to stop the construction and operation of these house of ill repute. The final sentence pleads: "Let every mother and home-loving woman go to the polls on March 5 and vote for Mr. Cotterill so that these buildings may remain uninhabited; that our homes may remain unpolluted and that the shame of Seattle may not be advertised to the world." A photograph of the exterior of the brothel already built covers page two of the work while a floor plan of the second and larger proposed building occupies page three. The printed caption for the former reads "The Largest House of Prostitution in the World Constructed in a Public Street Under the Sanction and Approval of H.C. Gill when Mayor and now Ready for Occupancy." The last page excerpts relevant unsavory passages from a Grand Jury Report on the subject. OCLC records just a single institutional copy at the Seattle Public Library. unknown

(ca. 16,8 x 12 cm). 298 S. Flexibler Ganzledereinband der Zeit (rot) mit goldgeprägtem Rückentitel, golddekorierten Deckeln und vier verschiedenenfarbigen Lesebändchen. Einband mit leichten Gebrauchsspuren. Büttenpapier innen gut erhalten, Druck teils etwas unregelmäßig. Insgesamt guter Zustand. Es handelt sich höchstwahrscheinlich um einen Nachdruck der Subskriptionsauflage von 1925 (153 numerierte Exemplare), die wohl fast zeitgleich hergestellt wurde. Der Druck ist hierdurch auf wenigen Seiten etwas blasser. Die Ausgabe enthält aber auch die Initialen "J. M." vor Textbeginn sowie auch den Hinweis der limitierten Auflage, wodurch die Leser sich verpflichten "das Werk stets unter Verschluß zu halten und unter keinen Umständen zu verleihen". Die Ausgabe geht durch den roten Ganzleder-Einband und Büttenpapier jedoch noch über die schlichtere Subskriptionsauflage hinaus, welche nur einen Leineneinband besaß. Seltene Ausgabe!
