Calf rubbed front and rear boards moderate foxing throughout page block. prior owners names front endpages and title page front hinge just starting to separate. Contents are unmarked. One of the prior owners whose name is handwritten 3 times is "Alfred Balch Nashville". Balch was a close personal friend and neighboring plantation owner to President Andrew Jackson. He was a practicing lawyer in Nashville and eventually became head of the Nashville Bar Association. During Andrew Jackson's presidency Balch was appointed to the role of Commissioner of Indian Treaties. During this time he would be active in trying to resolve issues the Creek and Seminole tribes had with the United States government and may have helped resolve the Second Seminole War. Later in 1840 during the presidency of Martin Van Buren Jackson would pressure his former vice president to appoint Balch to the role of United States District Judge for the Middle District of Florida where he would serve as a Florida District Judge for only one year. In 1835 letters appear between Alfred Balch and Andrew Jackson suggesting a level of comfort that only friends would have with one another. In one letter Jackson seems to write angrily about a secret conspiracy to undermine his chosen successor Martin Van Buren. What evidence there is seems to suggest a very close relationship between Andrew Jackson and Alfred Balch.Balchepedia; the Encyclopedia of Balch History.

Memorie Storiche Dell'Antichissimo Municipio Ora Terra Dell'Ariccia e Delle Sue Colonie Genzano E Nemi Dedicate a Sua Eccellenza Il Signor D. Agostino Chigi

1796réf. 001121Rome: Presso I Lazzarini 1796. 1st Edition. Hardcover. Very Good. 4to - over 9¾ - 12" tall. xii 502 pp. Full and rich history of Ariccia and surrounding towns on the outskirts of Rome to the Southeast of the City by Castel Gandolfo the Papal Summer Residence. Ariccia is one of the most ancient cities in Italy dating to at least the ninth century B.C. This history concentrates mostly on the seventeenth and eighteenth century when it was ruled by the powerful Savelli Chigi family which produced one pope Alexander VII and built a grand residence in the town that has been used many a time as a movie set such as in Visconti's "Il Gattopardo" "The Leopard". While it is over two millenia since the town yielded to Rome's preeminence as a city Ariccia continued to be the next most important city in Lazio for long stretches of history owing to its propitious location on the Via Appia the first way station on the road between Rome and Naples and its pleasant salubrious climate in contrast to malalial Rome made it a favored resort for the powerful of Rome in prior centuries. This copy of the history a model of municipal histories in its day is very good. There is some light and occasional foxing yet little that could be considered disconcerting. The exception would be the four places where a prior owner presses leaves which left a residue and in one instance may have created a tiny wormhole type of hole. However the small amount of loss has no effect on readability where it occurred. The vellum has an attractive mottled almost tiger striped design. Book is tight. Occasional light pencil notes a word or two in each case affecting a handful of pages. Still a very good copy. Presso I Lazzarini hardcover books

Wear and some tears and loss at folds with toning and stains some with marginal damage. Very good to excellent. The Carlisle Indian Industrial School had a number of publications including The Indian Helper The Red Man The Red Man and Helper The Indian Craftsman and The Arrow. The latter was founded in 1904 when William A. Mercer became superintendent after the school's founder Richard Henry Pratt left the position. The paper's motto describes it as "A Paper Devoted to the Interest of the Progressive Indian" and the very first edition states that its aim is to "become a medium for the best thought obtainable upon all sides of the Indian question" Vol. I no. 1 August 25 1904.

Football is almost always front-page news and the paper typically reports big wins for Carlisle which one article describes as "Bringing Home Another Scalp" Nov. 1906. Football news is also a place to emphasize the importance of obedience for instance "'Pop' Warner had his men under good control and as event after event was pulled off the value of efficient coaching and strict compliance with instructions was plainly manifested"; May 1907 a theme which is reiterated in a number of the articles. Students provide updates on school events both religious and secular and brief updates on individual students at home and away such as "Louise Hardin who is out in the country at Mt.

The Arrow also reprints articles from other newspapers about the school such as a November 1906 article from the New York World which describes the school: "The Indians in the school range from little tots six years of age to grown men and women who have been at the institution for a dozen years. They represent every tribe in the United States. Many of the youngsters are just entering the state of civilization while those in the graduating class are fine specimens of the modern educated Indian."

Transgender History Mario Martino Emergence 1977 Early Trans Masculine Autobiography

1977réf. 228421977. Martino Mario. Emergence: A Transsexual Autobiography 1977 is a foundational work in transgender life writing documenting one of the earliest full-length autobiographical accounts by a trans masculine individual published for a mainstream audience. The text supports research into transgender history medicalization of gender variance and the lived experience of female-to-male transition in the mid-20th century United States. Written at a time when clinical authorities largely controlled narratives of trans identity Martino's account asserts first-person authorship over gender transition providing direct testimony of dysphoria identity formation and social negotiation within a Catholic Italian-American family structure. Martino Mario. Emergence: A Transsexual Autobiography. New York: Crown Publishers 1977. First edition. The memoir recounts Martino's early life assigned female at birth and raised as Marie detailing adolescence marked by gender dysphoria religious pressure and attempts to conform through heterosexual and institutional pathways. The narrative includes descriptions of intimate relationships with women prior to transition illustrating the intersection of lesbian identity and trans masculine development during a period lacking stable public terminology. Central to the account is Martino's pursuit of gender-affirming medical care documenting barriers imposed by psychiatric and medical gatekeeping systems as well as the procedural realities of hormone therapy and surgery. His relationship with Rebecca who becomes his wife is presented as a sustained personal and emotional framework supporting his transition. Co-written with journalist Harriet the text combines personal narrative with clinical and social commentary while maintaining Martino's authorial voice throughout. One volume; 244 pages; no jacket present or as issued with photo-illustrated dust jacket. Octavo. Bound in original navy blue cloth with gilt spine lettering. The work emerges within the broader context of 1960s-1970s developments in transgender visibility including the institutionalization of gender identity clinics and increasing public discourse following cases such as Christine Jorgensen. Martino's dual role as a nurse and trans counselor situates the text within early peer-led advocacy efforts contributing to evolving critiques of medical authority over trans lives. Light shelf wear minor toning to jacket with edge wear and small chips at spine extremities; internally clean; very good overall. A significant early narrative of trans masculine identity and medical transition offering direct primary-source evidence for the study of gender sexuality and healthcare systems in the late 20th century. unknown books

1955 Study on Gender and Sexuality "All The Sexes: A Study of Masculinity and Femininity" First Edition

1955réf. 229931955. LGBTQTransgenderScience Medicine Henry George W. M.D. All the Sexes: A Study of Masculinity and Femininity. New York: Rinehart & Company Inc. 1955. First edition. Octavo. Original black cloth boards in original printed dust jacket. A landmark work of midcentury American sexology All the Sexes extends the clinical project of George W. Henry's earlier publication Sex Variants 1941 moving beyond case study and pathology to offer a broader psychosocial theory of gender and sexuality. Henry then Associate Professor of Clinical Psychiatry at Cornell Medical College presents this volume as the culmination of more than thirty years of psychiatric research drawing on interviews with over 8000 men and 1000 women. Framed as a moral and psychological inquiry into "sexual maladjustments" the book reflects the constraints and the contradictions of pre-Stonewall sexual science as Henry attempts to humanize queer people while pathologizing their identities through normative frameworks of adjustment and deviance. In Henry's summary of his studies on homosexuality he writes: "The psychosexual histories in the heterosexual and homosexual groups were conspicuously different. All patients in the heterosexual group were married and had from one to seven children. None of them had been unfaithful since marriage." Such comparisons mark the book's internal contradictions purporting scientific objectivity while repeatedly invoking moralistic assumptions about heterosexual domestic life as a baseline for mental health. Despite these limitations All the Sexes is historically significant for its expansive taxonomy of "sexual variants" including detailed analyses of gender nonconformity cross-dressing transvestism and "the female impersonator." Despite outdated language and theories of sexuality the book represents an early institutional effort to document classify and interpret LGBTQ identities. Jacket lightly worn with moderate edgewear and shallow chipping at crown and foot of spine panel. Binding sound and pages clean with no internal markings. An essential if deeply conflicted midcentury contribution to the psychiatric literature on homosexuality and gender variance. Though shaped by the biases of its era All the Sexes offers indispensable documentation of early clinical attempts to make sense of sexual diversity. unknown books

Documenting Black Intellectual Achievement in the 18th Century Abbé Grégoire's Foundational Antiracist Work "An Enquiry Concerning the Intellectual and Moral Faculties and Literature of Negroes" First American Edition

1810réf. 181831810. African AmericanSlavery and Abolition Grégoire Henri. "An Enquiry Concerning the Intellectual and Moral Faculties and Literature of Negroes." First American Edition. This work constitutes one of the earliest sustained Enlightenment arguments in print asserting the intellectual and moral equality of people of African descent. Originally published in French in 1808 as De la littérature des nègres Abbé Henri Grégoire's treatise directly challenged racial pseudoscience and proslavery ideology by assembling biographical and literary evidence of Black achievement. Appearing in English in 1810 in both London and Brooklyn the present Brooklyn printing represents the first American edition and marks the earliest circulation of Grégoire's antiracist argument within the United States issued just two years after the federal abolition of the transatlantic slave trade and decades before emancipation. A Catholic priest revolutionary statesman and Constitutional Bishop of Blois Grégoire was among the most visible European advocates of racial equality and universal civil rights; this text stands as his most focused intervention into transatlantic debates over slavery human capacity and citizenship. Grégoire Henri. An Enquiry Concerning the Intellectual and Moral Faculties and Literature of Negroes; Followed with an Account of the Life and Works of Fifteen Negroes & Mulattoes Distinguished in Science Literature and the Arts. Brooklyn: Printed by Thomas Kirk 1810. First American edition of the first English translation translated by D. B. Warden. Sabin 28728. Blockson 18. Octavo. 253 pages. The text systematically dismantles claims of Black inferiority through documentary case studies examining figures such as Phillis Wheatley as evidence of Black literary achievement Olaudah Equiano as moral and intellectual witness against slavery Benjamin Banneker for scientific accomplishment and Toussaint Louverture as an exemplar of political and military leadership. By grounding abolitionist argument in documented intellectual production rather than abstract sentiment Grégoire constructs what may be understood as an early printed compendium of Black intellectual history aligning Enlightenment universalism with emerging Atlantic abolitionist discourse. Original marbled boards heavily worn. Spine crudely retaped with losses; spine cracked where tape is lacking and back board partially detached. Front free endpaper loose. Title page and contents leaf with partial tear without loss of text. Early manuscript ex-libris note affixed to front pastedown. Textblock clean and complete with scattered foxing. Overall condition fair. Issued contemporaneously with the London printing of 1810 and at a moment when the United States had prohibited the slave trade but not slavery itself this Brooklyn edition represents one of the earliest and most explicit antiracist works printed in the early republic asserting Black intellectual and moral equality through documented achievement and thereby providing foundational documentary evidence for the development of American abolitionist thought. unknown books

[Women's Social History] Ladies of the Union Benevolent SocietyABAA

Constitution and Meeting Minutes

1854réf. 4539Walesville NY 1854. Contemporary quarter roan over marbled boards. Spine and boards worn with loss to foot of spine and evidence of label removal to front board. Internally foxed and soiled but remaining legible throughout. Comprised of 53 handwritten pages in various hands. Documenting the founding of the women's group focused on local philanthropy which allowed men entry only as silent "honorary" members the manuscript outlines the group's goals and structure in addition to recording officers participants and meetings during its first eight years. At its founding on December 31 1846 the Union Benevolent Society laid down its Constitution consisting of 9 articles. In addition to naming itself the group set out a mission to "relieve the wants of the poor of our own vicinity" and articulated that it would be run by women. "Gentlemen may become honorary members" through financial contribution but they would have no governing say. At this meeting the women elected their eight officers and recorded 52 members and 39 honorary gentlemen many sharing surnames with the married and unmarried members. It becomes clear that the organization will be embedded in the community's families and that the women in charge managed to get significant financial support from local men. The minutes in the first few years are succinct and lacking in detail about the "much work" that the secretary reports being done. These early entries simply report on the location of meetings -- usually gentlemen's homes -- and whether there was high or low attendance. As new secretaries take on the role the minutes change in structure. We begin to learn more about the men invited to speak the topics on which they lecture and the financial contributions raised at the end of each meeting. Still we get no strong sense of the group's real work; and there is increasing evidence that the men use the meetings as an opportunity to reinforce domestic feminine values for the group's members. The present manuscript is an opportunity for genealogical study and potential work to discover whether and the Society accomplished within its community. It also offers a chance for scholars to consider how the founders' and members' good intentions were watered down by such a broadly articulated mission and whether by opening the door to men's financial contributions such groups came under the governance of those men. unknown books

Antiquities of England and Wales 1773 a foundational eighteenth century antiquarian survey that documents medieval castles abbeys and architectural remains across England and Wales at a moment when systematic historical preservation had not yet emerged as an institutional practice. Compiled from Grose's own field observations and drawings the work records structures that in many cases were already in decay providing a visual and descriptive archive of the built environment prior to nineteenth century restoration movements. Grose working outside formal academic institutions while serving in excise duties and later traveling with the Surrey Militia produced one of the earliest large scale efforts to catalog national architectural heritage for a broader readership. Grose Francis. Antiquities of England and Wales. London: S. Hooper 1773. Four volumes. Folio. The set is extensively illustrated with engravings based on Grose's drawings including frontispieces vignette title pages and numerous plates throughout each volume depicting abbeys castles and other historic sites. The accompanying descriptive texts provide historical context and architectural detail reflecting Grose's stated aim to produce a readable and accessible account of England and Wales's historical monuments. Upon Grose's death his preparatory sketches and finished drawings for the work were acquired for George III and are now preserved in the British Library underscoring the recognized importance of his documentation. Produced during a period of growing antiquarian interest in Britain Antiquities of England and Wales contributed to the emergence of national historical consciousness tied to landscape architecture and medieval heritage. The work precedes later institutional preservation efforts and remains a key source for the study of sites that have since been altered or lost. Grose's combination of fieldwork illustration and narrative description established a model for subsequent antiquarian publications and shaped how historical monuments were studied and valued. Bound in leather with gilt decoration and marbled endpapers; armorial bookplate present.

[Transgender History] Gilbert, OP O PABAA

Men in Women's Guise. Some historical instances of female impersonation

1926réf. 8227London: John Lane 1926. First edition. Very Good . Translated from the French by Robert Bruce Douglas 1848 - 1927 though seemingly unpublished before this edition. Complete with six plates including frontispiece. xv 1 284 4 ads pp. A Very Good copy. Publisher's red cloth. Spine somewhat faded with some splotches of discoloration. Top edge red. Minor toning to endpapers otherwise very clean throughout. A work on crossdressing and transgender identity centering five French historical figures: the Chevalier d'Éon 1728 - 1810 the diplomat and spy who received legal recognition as female by King Louis XVI; Abbé de Choisy 1644 - 1724 Philip of Orleans 1640 - 1701 Abbé d'Entragues and Jenny de Savalette de Lange 1786 - 1856. The work authored by Oscar Paul Gilbert 1898 - 1972 takes a sympathetic even affirming approach to these figures and their identities. The work is notably sympathetic even affirming: in the introduction Gilbert writes "If there is an inexorable desire to be a man or a woman and to wish it with all one's heart and soul ought we to shrug our shoulders contemptuously because the wish appears to us cowardly or childish There are many unhappy persons to whom life is a weary load and whose heart is heavy with an inexpressible tenderness because they have not the personality they desire; because their brain and heart belong to a sex which is not their own." Though title of the work implies that its subject is crossdressing which is today understood as distinct from transgender identity the author's lucid description of gender dysphoria and his treatment of multiple figures who could reasonably be categorized as transgender women situates this work well within the context of transgender history. Men in Women's Guise was published during a period of expansion in the understanding of transgender identity following the establishment of Magnus Hirschfeld's Institute for Sexual Science the first organization to offer medical transition services and to advocate for the rights of transgender people. The period between the publication of Hirschfeld's The Transvestites 1910 "the first book-length treatment of transgender phenomena" Stryker and the Nazi crackdown on Hirschfeld's work in the 1930s saw a brief flurry of publications on transgender life written by both allies like Hirschfeld and Gilbert and transgender people themselves. Hirschfeld published several works on the science of transgender medicine following The Transvestites and several trans people published their memoirs including Jennie June's Autobiography of an Androgyne 1918 and The Female Impersonators 1922 and Lili Elbe's Fra Mand til Kvinde 1931. All of these works including Men in Women's Guise long predate the wave of midcentury works on transgender identity published in the wake of Christine Jorgensen's highly publicized transition in 1951. Publications on transgender life became much more common throughout the 1970s and beyond; any work predating World War II is notably early and is likely quite scarce. Very Good .
