Originally an adventure fiction periodical the magazine increasingly incorporated war-themed narratives as global conflict intensified presenting stories of combat espionage and military life to both civilian readers and servicemen. Contributions by authors including W. C. Tuttle Kenneth Perkins and others situate the publication within the broader pulp fiction network that disseminated narratives of American and Allied action. Cover lines such as "Attack on America!" "Murder in Martinique" and "They Can Be Licked!" demonstrate the framing of conflict through urgency and resolve while interior stories emphasized endurance strategy and battlefield experience. The October 1941 issue's depiction of paratroopers and the January 1940 cover illustrating armored combat reflect the growing prominence of mechanized and airborne warfare in public imagination prior to and during the early stages of U.S. involvement.

British Women's Suffrage H. Frances Petersen Defends Innate Rights Against A. V. Dicey 1913

1913réf. 162611913. Petersen H. Frances. The Belief in Innate Rights 1913 challenges the legal and philosophical reasoning used by A. V. Dicey in arguments relevant to women's political rights grounding the case for equality in the relationship between law justice and rights existing independently of legislative recognition. Issued by the National Union of Women's Suffrage Societies as No. 58 in its pamphlet series and reprinted from the Law Magazine and Review Petersen takes up Dicey's assertion that belief in innate rights "was expelled from England by.Burke and.Bentham." Rather than accepting positive law as the final measure of right and wrong she examines the premise itself and asks what basis remains for judging an existing law unjust if rights possess no moral existence beyond what the law grants. The argument gave the NUWSS a jurisprudential defense of political equality alongside its constitutional campaign for women's enfranchisement. Contemporary NUWSS advertising lists Petersen's pamphlet among the organization's suffrage literature. Petersen H. Frances. The Belief in Innate Rights. London: National Union of Women's Suffrage Societies 1913. No. 58. Reprinted from the Law Magazine and Review. 12 pages. Paper wrappers string bound. 7¼ x 5 inches. Petersen subjects Dicey's rejection of innate rights to a sustained legal argument distinguishing rights from the sanctions by which governments enforce them and questioning whether legality alone can determine justice. Her argument culminates in the question "If there is no such thing as 'innate right' what meaning have the words justice and injustice" The underlying essay appeared in the August 1909 Law Magazine and Review where contemporary bibliographical notices identify it under Petersen's name and summarize her distinction between legal rights and underlying moral conceptions of right. The NUWSS pursued women's enfranchisement through constitutional political organization publishing and distributing arguments addressing the legal economic and philosophical objections raised against women voting. Petersen's essay addresses a fundamental problem within that debate: if existing law alone defines political rights exclusion from the franchise can be defended simply because the law already excludes women; an appeal to justice requires a standard by which existing law itself can be judged. The pamphlet therefore records the suffrage campaign engaging directly with contemporary jurisprudence rather than relying solely upon arguments about women's social position or political capacity. Thumb-soiling to front and rear wrappers with a light horizontal crease; overall good condition. A substantive NUWSS pamphlet preserving a woman writer's direct engagement with Dicey and the legal philosophy of rights during the British suffrage campaign. unknown books

(Yachting Magazine)ABAA

An archive of materials belonging to John Clarke Kennedy concerning his involvement in Yachting Inc. publishers of Yachting Magazine and the eventual merging of Yachting Inc. into Kelmo Corporation which the Kennedy family controlled

1940réf. 89451940. 1 vols. One full red calf corporate ledger titled "Yachting Incorporated"; one green cloth stock ledger with the remains of a Yachting label on the upper cover; two green cloth books of stock certificates each labeled "Yachting Incorporated Preferred Stock" and one such book labeled "Yachting Incorporated Common Stock"; a similar book of stock certificates of Kennedy Brothers Incorporated; two appointment books with tide tables for 1937 and 1938; and a brown expanding legal-size folder of documents. 1 vols. John C. Kennedy was successively treasurer then president of Yachting Inc. publishers of Yachting Magazine and retained this archive after the magazine changed hands in the late 1930s. Included in this material are the corporate records of the Kelmo Corporation into which Yachting Inc. was merged in 1924 it later separated and was re-merged in 1940 records of the Yachting Board of Directors' meetings primarily concerning financing and including the meeting agreeing to sell all the capital stock to Kennedy; the actual books of issued and unissued common and preferred stock certificates of Yachting Inc. a book of shares of common stock of Kennedy Brothers Incorporated transferring Yachting stock to the Kennedys; the original 1923 signed option agreement by which Yachting's owners transferred for $40000 the total outstanding stock common and preferred and the actual stock certificates themselves and the original agreement of Oswald Garrison Villard conferring for $15000 his title and interest in the magazine--name records and other assets; Yachting's corporate income tax returns for 1927 and 1933 and some later tax and real estate correspondence; a lengthy Price Waterhouse report concerning the history and financial condition of Yachting as of January 1924 and a less encouraging special balance sheet and P&L for 1933; a 1933 recapitulation of book sales; and balance sheets and stock certificates of related companies. Also included are two 4 x 7" black leatherette books "Tide Tables and Daily Log" for l937 and 1938 in which John C. Kennedy has recorded his daily activities from July 7 l937 thru December 31 1938. Of particular interest are the efforts made in the fall of 1937 to interest Roy E. Larsen of Time Inc. in the purchase of Yachting Magazine by Time--a proposition which Larsen declined. The entries for 1938 deal mostly with Kennedy's growing financial worries and the decline of his sister's and his own health: it comes as a shock to learn that the author of these almost unbearably poignant entries was only 50 years old. On June 28 Kennedy reports the transfer "which took away my last of Yachting after 15 yrs." In addition the archive contains the original certification of the familiar "Yachting" logo as a U.S. trade-mark registered June 3 1924; the original certificate registering the same in Canada dated January 20 1925; the unsigned carbon of a 1935 deposition by John C. Kennedy with accompanying schedule showing Yachting Inc.'s stock portfolio at the time of its sale in 1933 at a loss of $144000; the magazine's copy of a signed agreement to publish "The Model Yacht" by John O. Berg; a corrected draft of a document changing the corporate name of Yachting Inc. to Kelmo Corporation dated October 26 1939; 5 insurance policies with photostats of applications on the life of John C. Kennedy; his U.S. passport issued 1924; his autograph 2-pp enumeration of property to be divided among the heirs of his mother along with photographs and correspondence concerning her grave; and other papers including his agreement to lease from Jules S. Bache his 112-ft. diesel yacht "Colmena" for July and August 1931 for $13500--a unique souvenir of happier days. Altogether an archive of engrossing interest for the business and sporting historian alike. unknown books
