In his later note Yeats explains the poem in part by quoting Coleridge: “The man’s desire is for the woman; but the woman’s desire is rarely other than for the desire of the man.” Also contains illustrations by D.G.

One octavo leaf folded into four pages, Signed “Gliddon,” dated 6 June 1847 from the Franklin Hotel in Philadelphia. Gliddon apologizes for not writing, laying the blame on archeologist and editor E.G. Squier who apparently was supposed to explain to Bartlett about Gliddon’s travel and adventures in Ohio. Gliddon facetiously threatens that if Squier has failed in this charge, Gliddon will “… review him, as Job wished to serve his ‘adversary’s book’, in the Jerusalem Quarterly.” Gliddon discusses a mix-up in receiving Bartlett’s book, Progress of Ethnology, buying a copy, lending it to Hodgson, acknowledges Bartlett’s kind notice of him in the book, etc. He relates the activities of another acquaintance, Dickson. He mentions his western trip, and claims that “in Louisville, Ky. they tax intelligence $5 per night!” He looks forward to seeing Bartlett “so I shall have the pleasure of fighting our battles over again.” He mentions other colleagues as well. An interesting letter between two leading archeologists of the day. [BTC #326510]

Tipped-in is a printed copy of a letter from Bronislaw Malinowski complimenting the book. The letter is dated in 1940, raising the question of whether this is a later edition, although we suspect it was added by the self-publishing author at a later date. Laid in is the author’s business card promoting the “intelligent use of type.” The printed glassine jacket states “This gives the answer to: Why are we Right- Handed?” [BTC #313726] 195 RICE, Elmer.

Corners a little bumped and rubbed, two senior pictures removed from the 1941 book, else each book is near fine. High school yearbooks for James Salter’s junior and senior years, when he was known as James J. Horowitz (or “Horrible” Horowitz, according to some sources). Salter appears (as Horowitz) in several places in the 1941 book as a junior, and is much more prominent in the 1942 book, his senior year. At his senior portrait it is revealed that he was on the football and track teams, wrote for this yearbook, was associate editor of the school’s literary magazine, The Quarterly, was in the Dramatic Club, and was a charter member of the Poetry Club. He is pictured elsewhere – mostly in relation to these activities. Of some interest is the presence in the same class of actor and playwright Julian Beck, co-founder of The Living Theatre. Beck is prominent in the book as well, and is listed with Salter in the Poetry Club, where Salter’s poetry is shown to be “revealing modern tendencies in a still-formative style.” Both played prominent roles in the Dramatic Club’s productions: Beck clearly pictured, we think Salter may appear in one picture in false whiskers but as yet have been unable to confirm this.
