1778réf. 44871London: Henry Fenwick 1778. The county of Middlesex essentially London was the heart of radical politics in England at the time of the Revolution and the greatest pro-American feeling was found in the merchants and working classes of the metropolis. The colonists often appealed directly to Middlesex for support. These works contain petitions relating to the American colonies dating from June 1774 to March 1778 including petitions regarding the Quebec Act in which the people express their concern over the encroachment of Catholicism and French influence in the colony. Likewise it includes the text of a letter from John Hancock to the mayor of London dated September 1775 expressing a hope for peace between Britain and the colonies. Adams notes that these two titles are often found bound together sometimes with other publications of the Council. The petition of the freeholders of Middlesex County concerns the John Wilkes case. Wilkes ran for Parliament and was elected as a radical candidate for Middlesex but was arrested and imprisoned shortly thereafter for seditious libel. Wilkes spoke out against the British war against the American colonies and his opposition to the Crown was a rallying point for the American cause. Contemporary calf spine gilt leather label. Boards heavily worn head and foot of spine chipped. Very minor scattered foxing. Good plus. In a brown half morocco and cloth slipcase. ESTC T108621 T108605 T43921.

1969réf. 1319Folded poster-pamphlet with texts and images printed in black ink on cream paper stock opens to large color poster on verso. 4to opens to 17.5 x 22.5 in Near fine ; old central crease. Loose folded sheet. 1319 A delightfully riotous publication with texts attributed to former King Mob member Phil Cohen and associates in the London Streeet Commune. The poster illustration on the pamphlet's verso depicts a youth with a huge erection being sentenced to correction bu authorities at a "Penal Institution." Our expert source informs us that Agro was printed in an attempt to organize London's hippie greaser and skinhead youth cultures to work together against ruling class oppression rather than antagonize one another. "At the end of 1969 the pilot – and only! – issue of Agro tried to mobilize the skinhead opinion. The paper 'printed by the Gutter Press' bore the stamp of the London Street Commune and most of it in fact consisted of an abridged version of 'Project Free London' a small booklet to which I shall refer again. An editorial claimed that Agro would be produced and distributed not from an office but through an informal network of 'skinheads greasers heads; in pubs caffs clubs and on the streets'. The Commune was worried because skinheads and greasers had mobilized against each other instead of against straight society and they saw Agro as a way of combining forces as a 'single subcultural front.'" Extremely rare. We can find no copies in OCLC or online. ref. https://standupandspit.wordpress.com/2019/11/19/agro/ https://www.wussu.com/squatting/144_piccadilly_supercrew.htm The Gutter Press books
1855réf. 53636Peoria: printed by Benjamin Foster 1855. First edition 8vo pp. iv 5-72; some foxing on the early leaves else fine in original printed salmon wrappers. "Root was a former common-school teacher who moved to Peoria County from Ohio in the fall of 1830. He apparently became a farmer after moving to Illinois" Byrd. An eccentric populist attack against big banks and the American legal system from an aging Peoria county farmer who notes that for "more than fifty years I have seen that there was some thing radically wrong in the political and religious world . I exerted myself for more than half a century politically and religiously for the sole purpose of heading and stopping those evils but all to no effect. The public journals both religious and political would not publish my communications because they were Truth." He was apparently a member of the National Reform Association an organization bent on re-Christianizing American society. He puts forth a libertarian philosophy saying that the greatest evils are: first and foremost Land Monopoly; Chattel Slavery; Alcohol; and Monopoly of the Law.

réf. 11588vo. 186x 119 mm. 7 ¼ x 4 ½ inches. 1-14 1 15-19 21-24 1 25-29 1 30-36 1 37-90; folios 74 and 83-90 blank except for page numbers and 4 lines on fol. 85 verso; plus 18 blank leaves at the end followed by 1 leaves containing 3 index pages and 1 final blank leaf. Manuscript section tiles in outline capitals on separate leaves included in foliation. Complete the gap between folios 19 and 21 is a foliation error. Ruled borders throughout. Text in brown ink in a flowing cursive hand varying lines numerous insertions and deletions. The manuscript on wove paper is illustrated with 20 pen-and-ink drawings of which 7 full-page on rectos with verso blank the first five not included in the foliation and 13 half-page or smaller plus 2 small ornaments. Bound in black straight-grain morocco covers gilt paneled central panel with arabesque tooling at corners smooth spine with gilt title cartouche lettered “Bluettes” from which extend triple gilt fillets terminating in ornaments at head and tail gilt edges with moiré satin endleaves; binding a bit rubbed with corners bumped. A manuscript of poems and short prose pieces all in a romantic vein illustrated with quite accomplished pen-and-ink drawings presumably by the author whose name and the date of the manuscript are supplied on the verso of the front free endpaper: “Le Baron Achille de Cholet / Officier á l’Etat-Major / 1836”. In the first poem Aux Dames the poet calls himself a “novice Ecolier” implying youthfulness and the date of 1836 on the front fly leaf is probably at the time of writing although some of the many corrections and deletions may have been added later. The titles of the other poems or groups of poems are : Le Rin Le Déserteur L’Isolement L’Impiété Un Croix sur la Montagne La Mère du Prisonnier L’Avenir / á Melle Francine d’Hurbal Rheyms Séparation L’Enfant perdu L’Adieu au Plaisir La Campagne / á Mr le Vicomte Alfred de R. . . Le Cloches du Soir La Neige Les Pauvres and Le Jour des Rois . . . These stolid sentimental poems and prose impressions reflect the prevailing Romanticism of the period as do the far more skillfully executed pen-and-ink drawings that illustrate them. Somber or dreamlike with dark cross-hatching contrasting with lighter areas the drawings show a dark tunnel under a rocky mountainside a soldier in a garret or prison a cloaked barefoot man an emblematic trophy with musical instruments and weaponry a raven perched on ruined tombstones and columns a domestic scene of father and daughter a women on her knees the façade of Reims Cathedral surrounded by swirling clouds architectural details of cathedrals several surrounded by decaying facades and vignettes of crumbling chateaux pastoral churches and snow-covered gatehouses all of which reflect the vogue for l’ancienne France and the “pittoresque” as notably popularized by Nodier and Taylor in their Voyage pittoresque et romantiques dans l’Ancienne France 23 volumes 1820-1878. Achille de Cholet was descended from an ancient Anjou noble family according to his obituary in 1888 in the Bulletin héraldique de France vol. 7 235-6. He became an officer in the Légion d’honneur and was well known for his important topographic researches in the south of France. A few of the pieces in the manuscript are dedicated to aristocrats mainly female. It seems likely that the Baron shared his family’s Royalist views: his father had died in exile and his brother whose first name is not given in the obituary was an “ardent champion of the Royalists press” and author of a book title Madame en Vendée relating the attempted coup in 1832 of the duchesse de Berry mother of the Prentender the Comte de Chambord which was pursued and effectively banned by the tribunals indeed the work appears not be recorded in OCLC or other online OPACs. Thanks to Nina Musinsky for this description. . unknown books
