Quite scarce collection of poems by a near-unknown poet. Despite the imprint the poems are inspired mostly by nature and Greek mythology rather than socialist politics. We find one contemporary review whose critic rightly strips the work of any literary merit stating that "Much of his work shows no idea of the meaning of words" providing as evidence the following line: "A dreamer fair and bland!"

1959ref. 134256Los Angeles: Pad-Ram Enterprises 1959. A Eight vintage still photographs from the 1959 film. Included are 4 stills from the US release and 4 stills from the UK release under the title "Mr. Teas and His Playthings." From a cursory glance one can immediately see the differences with regard to nudity paid by both US and UK publicists the UK stills decidedly more liberal with regard to the "forbidden flesh." The US stills were taken directly from scenes of the film and the UK stills appear to be from either a deleted scene or a mock setup designed for foreign publicity with Mr. Teas seen in a bathhouse with the "Buxom Bath House Beauties" Baby Dahl Chicky Fricase Frenchie Tost Teri Clawthe that were not seen in the final cut. The UK stills purport "Monstrous Murder!" and "Sizzling Suspense!" taglines however the final cut features neither murder nor suspense. The story finds the shy Mr. Teas played by William Ellis Teas a door-to-door dental appliance salesman who has a chemical reaction with an anesthetic that allows him to have X-ray vision as in "seeing through women's clothes." He also overcomes all of his inhibitions leading to ribald encounters with his dental nurse his therapist his secretary a girl in a bar etc. Russ Meyer's first feature produced by Pad-Ram Enterprises a monogram using the initials of director Russell Albion Meyer and producer Peter A. DeCenzie and the film that basically launched the lighthearted "nudie" pictures of the early 1960s. The film was immediately touted as "ribald" and "Frenchy" with regard to the "genuinely sexy sequences with generous expanses of attractive flesh" that used to be seen strictly in foreign films. At a time when Hollywood moguls were losing audiences to the comfort of in-home cinema through television Meyer and DeCenzie who spent years on the burlesque and night club circuits released an independent naturally sexy endeavor in the tradition of the great Chaplin films. The bigger productions companies would never have made a film as far overboard on sex. For his debut Russ Meyer did even more of the crew work than usual shooting in four days during the spring of 1958 with a budget of $24000 ultimately making over $1.5 million worldwide. The film was marketed as a "nudist" film with a "French" sensibility but exhibited all the distinctive traits for which Meyer would soon become known including large bosoms insane plots a somewhat feminist perspective campy dialogue and guerilla cinematography. Shot on location in various California destinations including Malibu Lagoon State Beach. Meyer even shot various scenes at his beach-front home in Los Angeles. All stills 8 x 10 inches some differ slightly in size. Two US stills Very Good plus others Near Fine. UK stills Near Fine. Pad-Ram Enterprises unknown books

1876ref. 13937Coventry England: Thomas Stevens 1876. Unique. Near Fine. Unique. John Wesley /28 June O.S. 17 June 1703 - 2 March 1791 was an English cleric theologian and evangelist who was a principal leader of a revival movement within the Church of England known as Methodism. Moving across Great Britain and Ireland he helped form and organise small Christian groups that developed intensive and personal accountability discipleship and religious instruction. He appointed itinerant unordained evangelists-both women and men-to care for these groups of people. Under Wesley's direction Methodists became leaders in many social issues of the day including. Thomas Stevens a local weaver responded by adapting the Jacquard looms used in Coventry to weave colourful pictures from silk. By 1862 Stevens could produce four different designs and by the late 1880s this had grown to over 900; they became known as "Stevengraphs" the abolition of slavery and support for women preachers.--Wiki.

1774ref. 1283611774. First Edition. BENEZET Anthony WESLEY John. Thoughts upon Slavery. IN: A Collection of Religious Tracts. London Printed: Re-Printed in Philadelphia: Joseph Cruckshank 1774. Small octavo early full brown sheep. Housed in a custom chemise and clamshell box. $12000.First American edition preceded only by the same year's much shorter English edition of Wesley's influential and controversial early attack on slavery and the slave trade the first to contain abolitionist Anthony Benezet's expansive notes and afterword not in the English edition bound with a separate title page with four other works in publisher Joseph Crukshank's A Collection of Religous Tracts.Wesley a ""founder of MethodismÉwas noted not only for outstanding powers of leadership but also for practical holiness social concern and immense courage"" Oxford Dictionary of World Religions 1037. He formulated a doctrine of perfection that led to the ""creation of the largest new family of churches to be thrown up by the revival in Britain and in the rest of the English-speaking world"" ODNB. While he was a colleague of leading abolitionists William Wilberforce and Anthony Benezet in Thoughts upon Slavery ""the ethical core of the argument is Wesley's own"" Field John Wesley as a Public Theologian 4. He first witnessed the horrors of slavery as a missionary in Georgia and South Carolina. ""By the time he published his Thoughts upon Slavery he clearly opposed the cruelties and violations of the slave tradeÉ It is striking that in this attack on slavery Wesley explicitly does not use the Bible as the basis for his position. Instead he argues that slavery cannot be reconciled with justice and mercy and derives his understanding of justice from natural lawÉ Jennings reports that Wesley went even further in moving from protest to transformation"" Sample Future of John Wesley's Theology 58-9. Wesley's work also stands out in that he was a political conservative who rejected democracy and ""strongly criticized mass actionÉ here however he legitimated slave resistance and rebellion as an expression of natural liberty in contradiction of biblical injunctions to slaves"" Field 6.This pivotal edition was issued at the urging of Benezet after reading the same year's much shorter English edition. He was especially moved by Wesley's ""exhortation to the ship captains merchants and planters involved in slaving urging them to 'give liberty to whom liberty is due that is to every child of man to every partaker of human nature.'"" Benezet quickly ""arranged with Philadelphia printer Joseph Cruikshank to reprint Wesley's pamphlet but not before he added five expansive footnotes and a lengthy afterwordÉ the general tenor of these additions was to clarify and amplify points Wesley had made"" Crosby ed. Complete Antislavery Writings of Anthony Benezet 197. In England ""the public response to Wesley's Thoughts upon SlaveryÉ would soon be so great that 229000 people signed petitions against the slave trade to be presented to Parliament"" Jackson Let This Voice Be Heard 126. Yet ""Wesley's attack on the profitable slave trade was riskyÉ his opinions were an affront to those who considered the Africans their inferiors. For the latter group Wesley had further unsettling words: 'The inhabitants of AfricaÉ are not inferior to the inhabitants of Europe; to some of them they are greatly superior'"" Yrigoyen John Wesley. ""Wesley's contribution to the struggle against slavery did not end with the publication of Thoughts upon SlaveryÉ Symbolically the last letter he wrote before his death was to Wilberforce supporting him in his struggle to have the slave trade abolished"" Field 6. Preceded by the same year's 53-page English edition published without Benezet's lengthy notes and afterword. Thoughts Upon Slavery was both published separately and included as ""the second title in: Benezet Anthony. The Potent Enemies of America Laid Open Philadelphia: Joseph Crukshank 1774 Evans 13146 and as part of some copies of: A Collection of Religious Tracts as here Philadelphia: Joseph Crukshank 1773-1778 Evans 13145"" ESTC W28091.
