18681st edition, first printing, of Authors only book. Original Publishers Cloth, Brown cloth cover stamped in gold, 16mo, 7-124 pages; 15 cm. Singerman 2085 (for the 126 page edition) . Singerman notes as well that he, the "compiler[, ] saw the rarer 124 page edition without the publisher's statement [about Dickens]. " Poems. The true first edition, first printing, dedicated to Charles Dickens but without his warm letter thanking her reproduced, as appeared in later printings. The success of this book meant that later editions appeared the same year in London as well as in the US (published by Lippincott) but with more pages (141 & 126, respectively) and the Dickens letter reproduced. Includes some poems with Jewish themes, such as Judith (Oh forget not that I am Judith! /And I know where sleeps Holofernes) , Hear, O Israel (The God of Jacob is our Shield) , etc. Menken (1835-1868) was Internationally famous for her starring role in the equestrian melodrama Mazeppa, in which she was stripped on stage to a flesh-colored body stocking, lashed to the back of the wild horse of Tartary, and sent flying on a narrow ramp above the theater, Adah Isaacs Menken consistently defied social mores. She cropped her black hair and smoked cigarettes, and publicly disparaged conventional married life. Menken represented an early example of the cult of personality, blurring her private life with her public persona. She married four times in the course of seven years. Her second marriage, in 1859, was to the heavyweight boxing champion of the world, John C. Heenan . One of the most glamorous celebrities of the 1860s, Menken also cultivated a literary following. She wrote poetry and developed relationships with the likes of Walt Whitman, Charles Dickens, Dante Gabriel Rossetti, Alexandre Dumas, and Algernon Swinburne. George Sand was a close friend to the actor and was godmother to Menkens second child . A major bone of contention to this day is the authenticity of her Jewishness. Though scholars have some evidence that Menken was raised a Catholic and converted to Judaism only after marrying her first husband, Menken herself once publicly rebuked a journalist who labeled her a convert by announcing that she was born in that faith [Judaism], and have adhered to it through all my erratic career. Through that pure and simple religion I have found greatest comfort and blessing. Whatever her origins, it is clear that Menken was fervently Jewish in her adult life. After moving to Cincinnati with her first and only Jewish husband, Alexander Isaacs Menken, Adah learned Hebrew fluently, studied classical Jewish texts, and contributed many poems and essays to The Israelite, a weekly founded by Rabbi Isaac M. Wise. Her poems indicate a passionate temperament, deeply committed to a kind of proto-Zionism and even messianism. Many are collected in the posthumously published volume Infelicia [this volume]. Menken viewed herself as a modern Deborah, calling on Jews to rise up against persecution in Turkey and protesting the kidnapping of a six-year-old Jewish boy in Bologna by representatives of the Catholic Church. She was one of the few Jews in America to protest when Lionel Nathan was denied the seat in the English Parliament to which he had been elected. And, at the height of her acting career, she refused to perform on Jewish High Holidays. On her deathbed at age thirty-three, suffering from what may have been peritonitis or tuberculosis (or both) , and treated by the personal doctor of Napoleon III, Menken was visited by a rabbi. Adah Isaacs Menken died on August 10, 1868, in Paris. She is buried in the Jewish section of Montparnasse Cemetery (Ackerman, 2014) . The book is also cited in Podeschi, J. B.

In-8 (192 x 123 mm), demi-chagrin rouge, dos lisse orné de double filet et petits fers dorés, titre doré en long (rel. signée L. Hauser), 37 p., (1) f. blanc. Edition originale, rare, de ce réquisitoire d'une extrême violence des "Dames de la Halle", harengères, poissardes et marchandes de Paris, contre la vie chère, la noblesse et le pouvoir en place, les fermiers généraux et la fiscalité, le clergé, l'état de délabrement des hôpitaux, la spéculation, la corruption des magistrats... De longs passages sont consacrés à dénoncer la prostitution, à décrire le malheur des jeunes filles abandonnées à leur sort et jetées sur les trottoirs parisiens par la misère et l'avidité d'individus sans scrupules. "Epicentre de la politique révolutionnaire", les "Dames de la Halle" ont été à l’origine de la marche sur Versailles, les 5 et 6 octobre 1789, événement qui fit basculer la Révolution. Les autrices précisent, en tête du pamphlet (p. 3 et 4), qu'il aurait été rédigé à leur demande et diffusé par "M. Josse, écrivain à la pointe Saint-Eustache"; écrivain public, celui-ci prenait également en charge les comptes et la correspondance des "Dames de la Halle & des marchés de Paris", signataires de cet écrit. L'authenticité de ce texte a été récemment confirmée. Il est cité par les études spécialisées, aussi bien à propos de l’intervention des femmes à la veille des États Généraux que du langage populaire, des parisianismes et de l'argot de la période. (S. Blanc, 'Les femmes et la Révolution française', p.8. Tourneux, I, 978). Petites restaurations de papier au titre sans perte de texte. Quelques rousseurs éparses. Bon exemplaire.
In-8, broché sous cordelette de soie verte, 15 p., (1) p. bl., entièrement non rogné, tel que paru. Edition originale et unique. Appel des femmes de la noblesse bretonne à ne pas se compromettre avec celles du Tiers États: "avec aucunes femmes, filles ou parentes [sic] de ces gens déshonorés, & les déclarer infâmes, traîtres à la Patrie indignes du nom de vrais citoyens" (p. 4-5) et à les menacer de sanctions ainsi que ceux qui leur prêteraient assistance. "Arrêté en l'Hôtel de madame Dubosq, sur le champ de bataille, A Brest, le 24 janvier 1789", signé nommément par quarante-deux femmes issues de grandes familles de la marine brestoise, comme les trois sœurs de Kerouartz, mariées au commandant de la Marine de Brest – au comte de Soulanges et à De La Porte-Vezins. D’autres familles nobles d’officiers de marine apparaissent comme les De Langle, de Rosily, de Saint-Prix, de Trémigon. Quatre hommes sont aussi nommés comme adhérant à l’arrêté : Rhedon de Beaupréau, De Linoi, Le Provost et le Comte d’Hector, tous hauts gradés de la marine à Brest. "L'arrêté" est suivi (p. 7 à la fin) d'une sorte d'utopie politique: " vision qui n'en sera pas une" qui met en scène un "bon citoyen" transporté dans le palais du "Génie des nations" qui y réside sous la garde d'un Dieu jaloux veillant à l'éloigner de tout esprit d'innovation. Endormi depuis longtemps, le Dieu "n'avait été réveillé qu'au commencement de ce siècle par les cris d'une philosophie hardie..., ennemie des abus…". L’impression conjointe des deux textes, dont le second est favorable aux idées nouvelles, suggère que l'Arrêté des dames de Brest aurait été repris et détourné par le camp des patriotes. Sur cette brochure, cf. Solenn Mabo. 'Les citoyennes, les contre-révolutionnaires (…), engagements et rapports de genre dans la Révolution en Bretagne', Thèse, Univ. de Rennes, 2019, p. 121-124. (Conlon, 'Siècle des Lumières', 89:1505. Martin et Walter, n°3716). Rare. WorldCat ne recense que deux exemplaires dans le monde: BnF et British libr. Très bon exemplaire, bien conservé, non rogné, tel que paru.

Written entirely in her hand Mott declares "Truth for authority not authority for truth" and signs "Lucretia Mott." The formulation distills a foundational principle of antebellum and Reconstruction era reform: the rejection of inherited legal ecclesiastical and political authority when divorced from moral truth and human equality. By 1871 more than two decades after the 1848 Seneca Falls Convention and the signing of the Declaration of Sentiments Mott stood as an elder stateswoman of American reform her Quaker convictions shaping a lifetime of advocacy for abolition women's legal equality and freedom of conscience. Mott Lucretia. Autograph Quotation Signed. 1871. One card approximately 4¼ x 3 inches. Composed during the post Civil War period when debates over Reconstruction citizenship and suffrage reshaped the constitutional landscape the statement reflects the continued insistence by early feminists that justice must supersede custom majority rule and patriarchal tradition. The maxim's structure directly challenges hierarchical authority aligning with arguments advanced by Mott and her contemporaries that law and governance derive legitimacy only when grounded in universal moral principles. As a signed and dated manuscript expression of this credo the card functions as a compact primary document articulating the intellectual core of American women's rights ideology. Paper clean with strong legibility and a bold well preserved signature and date. Overall condition: very good. unknown
