1882réf. 13362Hartford CT 1882. Eighteen issues all between 4 and 6pp. Folded sheets. Mostly minor toning and wear some later issues more toned. Overall a very good group. A dozen-and-a-half issues of a scarce amateur magazine produced in Hartford by editor and publisher W. L. Washburn. The present collection includes sixteen of the first seventeen issues lacking only issue five; in addition the first two issues of the "New Series" round out the group. To be clear the issues present here include: Vol. 1 numbers 1-4 6-17; Vol. 1 numbers 1 and 2 of the New Series. The content aligns with amateur magazines of the era with nonfiction fiction poetry news from other amateur journalists advertisements and so forth. Perhaps of chief interest about half of the issues include passages on Chess. Interestingly the masthead of the first issue states that it was printed on the press of another amateur journalist A. N. Daniels in Hartford. The typographical differences after the first issue indicates that Washburn may have acquired his own press.

1913réf. 81178New York: Alexander Fraser 1913-1915. Thirty-eight issues in original printed wrappers; occasional mild soil and wear complete and generally Very Good. Octavo 22cm through April 1914; changes format to small quarto 25cm beginning with June 1915. Weekly through April 12 1913; changes to monthly beginning with May 1913. Title change from "Weekly" to "Monthly" beginning May 1913; from "Monthly" to "Critical" beginning June 1914. Together thirty-eight issues as follows: Vol. I no. 1 Jan 4 1913 - no.23 December 1913 complete. Vol. II no. 1 Jan 1914 - 4; 6-12; lacking issue for May 1914. Vol. III no. 1 Jan 1915 - 4; lacking all issues after April 1915. A nearly unbroken run of the first 38 issues of this scarce independent radical periodical which continued publication as a monthly until June 1916 at which point it was absorbed into The Masses. The New Review's editorial board in fact had a great deal of overlap with that of The Masses which had begun in 1911: key figures including Floyd Dell Max Eastman Louis Fraina Arturo Giovannitti and others shared editorial duties on both journals. Like The Masses The New Review approached radicalism from a fairly ecumenical standpoint - alongside articles on doctrinaire Marxism there appear numerous contributions on anarchism the I.W.W. and social democracy reflecting the brief moment in the infancy of the American left when firm lines had not yet been drawn between qualitatively sympathetic but theoretically divergent ideologies. Whereas The Masses was primarily focused on contemporary art and culture The New Review was principally oriented towards hard reportage theoretical essays and opinion pieces by leading leftist writers of the day. W.E.B. Du Bois who appears on the masthead as a co-editor beginning in June 1914 contributes three substantial articles to this run of issues: Jan 11 1913 "A Field for Socialists"; Feb 1 1913 "Socialism and the Negro Problem" and July 1914 "A Study in Black". Other regular contributors include Mary White Ovington J. William Lloyd Anton Pannekoek Mary Heaton Vorse Robert Rives Lamont Eugene V. Debs and many others. A key and somewhat scarce periodical highly representative of the developmental phase of the organized American Left; uncommon especially in cohesive runs; these copies very well preserved.

In March of 1832 Charles Knight published the first issue of The Penny Magazine. As a project of The Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge SDUK the magazine aligned with the organization's mission to distribute easily accessible non-radical educational materials to working class Londoners. A new Magazine was published every week and featured wholesome articles on history geography natural science and general trivia. Annuals like these compiled a year's worth of issues into one handsome volume and were available for 7s 6d about £25 today. The Penny Magazine's 1d about £0.25 today price plus copious wood-engraved illustrations initially made the publication very appealing to a broad audience. In a somewhat ironic twist this low-cost magazine had very high production costs due to the number of illustrations. Not even a modest price increase to 4d could salvage the budget and The Penny Magazine issued its last on October 31 1847. The Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge unknown

1950réf. 16680New York: Inter-Union Institute Inc 1950. First Edition. Quarto. Staple-bound printed card wrappers; 64pp. Covers rubbed with small losses to extremities not affecting text; text clean and unmarked; Very Good. An anticommunist but pro-socialist labor periodical which drew articles and influences from across the left-right spectrum of the post-war labor movement. This issue includes what appears to be the first and possibly only appearance in English of Russian playwright Lev Luntz's dystopian drama The City of Truth first published posthumously in Berlin in 1924 translated by Hannah G. Hardman. The play envisions a society in which children are reared in an environment completely devoid of motherly love -- a theme that would be revisited in a number of mid-century anti-communist dystopias. Luntz died in a Hamburg sanitarium in the same year this work was published leaving behind a small body of work. He was only 23 but his passing drew commentary from no less a figure than Maxim Gorky who wrote ".he was talented wise exceptionally educated for a man so young. One felt in him a rare independence and daring of thought.it is difficult to write about this sad loss the untimely death of a talented man." This appears to be the only one of Luntz's works to have been translated into English and this the only appearance of the translation.
