June 2018 New Acquisitions Eastern Promises June 2018 New Acquisitions Eastern Promises: Americana East of the Mississippi Early American Discourse on Columbus’s Discovery, And On the American Origins of the Honey Bee 1. Belknap, Jeremy: A DISCOURSE, INTENDED TO COMMEMORATE THE DISCOVERY OF AMERICA BY CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS; DELIVERED AT THE REQUEST OF THE HISTORICAL SOCIETY IN MASSACHUSETTS....TO WHICH ARE ADDED, FOUR DISSERTATIONS. Boston: Printed at the Apollo Press, by Belknap and Hall, 1792. 132,[2]pp. Early twentieth century three-quarter morocco and marbled boards, spine gilt, raised bands. Half-inch by 2¼ - inch portion clipped from upper outer corner of titlepage, not affecting text. Occasional minor tanning and foxing. Very good. A significant early work of American historical examination by the notable Federal-era historian and Congregational clergyman, Jeremy Belknap, a founder of the Massachusetts Historical Society. The central work was delivered to commemorate the three hundredth anniversary of Columbus's voyage and discusses his discovery at some length, with a brief consideration of the introduction of African slavery, "this detestable species of traffic," into the New World. Also included are other "dissertations" by Belknap: on a claim of Martin Behaim to a pre-Columbian discovery of America; on the early circumnavigations of Africa; and on the complexion of Native Americans. The fourth dissertation, on the question of the American origins of the honey bee (Belknap says the bee IS American), "significantly provides one of the earliest investigations and discussions of this matter" (Mason), which led to a further inquiry by Benjamin Smith Barton.

NOVEMBER, 1916 [all published?]. [Boston. November, 1916]. 32pp. Original pictorial wrappers. Wrappers detached, but present. Wrappers lightly soiled, and with some small chips in the edges. Printed on very poor paper, with some small edge chips, and with the lower outer corners of the text leaves chipped away (not affecting the text). Good. A rare satirical journal - quite likely the only issue published - attacking the activities and personalities of New England's Watch and Ward Society, a group of moral watchdogs intent on (as the headline of a critical profile in Mencken's AMERICAN MERCURY put it) "Keeping the Puritans Pure." Specifically, Rob Roy's pellets are aimed at the Rev. J. Franklin Chase, leader of the group and a powerful figure in Massachusetts politics. The Watch and Ward Society went after supposedly pornographic publications and images, gambling, prostitution, drugs, and other vices, and was emblematic of what Miller and Rotundo describe as a masculinization of the reform movement in the post-Victorian era. In the mid- 1910s, Chase was himself involved in a scandal, as it was discovered that one night he checked into a hotel under an assumed name with a woman who was not his wife. That episode and other accusations against Chase are discussed in this publication, which accuses Chase himself of usurping police authority, having more political power than the state legislature, and of betting on horses, among other things. "Rob Roby" was the pseudonym of BOSTON POST journalist B.H. Benton, and he presents a thorough and highly-detailed indictment of Chase and the actions of the Watch and Ward Society, which he criticizes as corrupt and hypocritical. He also offers his thoughts on a variety of social issues, including immigration, business, and sports (particularly boxing). No copies are located in OCLC. The only reference I could find to this journal is in chapter five of Neil Miller's BANNED IN BOSTON: THE WATCH AND WARD SOCIETY'S CRUSADE AGAINST BOOKS, BURLESQUE, AND THE SOCIAL EVIL (Boston. 2011). $300 Against the Jay Treaty and in Favor of a Nationalist Trade Policy 3. [Bowdoin, James]: OPINIONS RESPECTING THE COMMERCIAL INTERCOURSE BETWEEN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, AND THE DOMINIONS OF GREAT-BRITAIN, INCLUDING OBSERVATIONS UPON THE NECESSITY AND IMPORTANCE OF AN AMERICAN NAVIGATION ACT. Boston: Printed and Sold by Samuel Hall, 1797. 61,[1]pp. Errata note printed at foot of page 61. Half title. Contemporary blue wrappers, string-tied as issued. Wrappers lightly stained, most of the spine paper chipped away. Old stain in upper outer corner of most text leaves. Very good. Untrimmed and unopened. Published anonymously but written by James Bowdoin, the son and namesake of a Revolutionary statesman and former Massachusetts governor; grandson of one of the leading merchants of New England, this is a sharp criticism of British trade practices and the recently-concluded Jay Treaty between the United States and England. Bowdoin's argument is an interesting mixture of Jeffersonian criticisms of docile policies toward England, coupled with a strong statement from a New Englander in favor of promoting domestic manufactures. "In its strictures on British trade regulations, its keen analysis of commercial principles, and its vigorous demand for a retaliatory policy, [it] is reminiscent of some of his father's pronouncements thirty years before" - DAB. Bowdoin joins James Madison and other prominent Democratic-Republican voices in criticizing the Jay Treaty for granting too many concessions to England and marshals statistics to show the American trade deficit with Britain. He also encourages the development of domestic manufactures, favors trade restrictions, and argues for an "American Navigation Act," which would put the United States on a full reciprocity trade footing with other nations. Despite his Jeffersonian politics Bowdoin served in a number of Massachusetts political offices and, like his forebears, was a successful merchant. In 1804 Jefferson named him minister to Spain.

AN EXPOSE OF THE TREASONABLE ORDER OF THE "SONS OF LIBERY." VALLANDIGHAM, SUPREME COMMANDER [caption title]. [New York]: Printed by the Union Congressional Committee, [1864]. 8pp. Printed on two folded quarto sheets, new stitching. A bit of old staining, else near fine. In a printed Goodspeed's Book Shop envelope. An outgrowth of the harshly-contested 1864 election in the Union, in which Lincoln's Republican Party did all it could to attack the actions of the "Peace" Democrats, so-called "Copperheads" who called for an end to the Civil War at the cost of an independent Confederacy. The text begins: "The more effectually to aid the Southern traitors in their efforts to destroy the Government, many of the leaders of the Democratic party in the North, who are in sympathy with such efforts, determined to form secret, oath-bound, treasonable associations throughout the Northern States to act in concert with those already existing in the States in rebellion." The Ohio politician, Clement Vallandingham, who had been convicted essentially for sedition in 1863 (his arrest had been a prominent challenge to Lincoln's suspension of habeas corpus) and exiled to the South, was the putative head of the movement, though it was much more far-reaching. The text describes the allegedly treasonous behavior of the Sons of Liberty and other allied organizations in the Midwest, giving the names of their leaders, and printing excerpts from Copperhead literature. Published by the Union Congressional Committee, this pamphlet was actually printed by John A. Gray & Green of New York. OCLC locates five copies, at the American Antiquarian Society (which has two copies), Harvard, Hamilton College, and Princeton Theological Seminary. Scarce in the market - Rare Book Hub notes a different copy sold at auction in 2017, and then not another since Goodspeed's offered a copy in 1965. The present copy was offered by Goodspeed's in 1950. SABIN 16706. OCLC 82444492, 950923600. GOODSPEED 437:225 (this copy). $300 Offering Premiums for Exports from the American Colonies 5. [Colonial Commerce]: PREMIUMS OFFERED FOR THE ADVANTAGE OF THE BRITISH COLONIES BY THE SOCIETY INSTITUTED AT LONDON FOR THE ENCOURAGEMENT OF ARTS MANUFACTURES AND COMMERCE. London: Printed by Order of the Society, 1762. 44pp. Late nineteenth-century half cloth and marbled boards, manuscript paper label on front board. Boards edgeworn and lightly rubbed. Occasional tanning and light foxing. Very good. A scarce work, one of a flurry of such titles issued during the Seven Years' War to encourage imports to England from the North American colonies. The text lists the premiums to be paid for imports from New England to the southern colonies in a wide variety of categories, including sturgeon, silk (and silk cocoons), olive trees, potash, scammony, wine, raisins, opium, hemp, and a variety of fruits and vegetables. An appendix describes a method for making potash. Instituted at London in 1753 by William Shipley and continuing into the present as the Royal Society of Arts, the Society for Encouragement of Arts, Manufactures and Commerce, the group aimed to use financial incentives to promote agriculture, manufactures, and the arts and to encourage commerce. Several prominent men are listed as "correspondents" of the Society in America, including Benjamin Franklin of Pennsylvania. They first announced their "Premiums" in a publication of 32 pages issued in 1761; this 1762 edition is not listed in OCLC. The most recent copy of this 1762 edition in auction records was sold at Swann Galleries in 1999. ESTC lists six copies, at Bowdoin College, the Baker Business School Library at Harvard, the John Carter Brown Library, Massachusetts Historical Society, University of Pennsylvania, and the Pequot Library. Good evidence of the British view of the North American colonies as an important supply of a variety of raw and processed materials in the years preceding the Revolution. SABIN 65054. ESTC N22173.

INTRODUCTION "Throughout history, families and religious groups have recognized their influence over the lives of their members and have used this influ- ence to maintain unity and adherence to a given set of values."' Vocal activists have for generations waged wars against works of literature and 2 art that they have found offensive to their religious or moral beliefs. They have attempted to exert their influence over society as a whole and to impose their values over all others. These activists believed that they were providing an invaluable service to society. From the time of the colonization of the United States through the 1950's, moral activists had the weapon of choice on their side: the strong-arm censorship powers of the law and the courts.

  • To Inflame the Censors: Hemingway's Use of Obscenity in to Have And
    OF LEGAL AND LITERARY INTEREST To Inflame the Censors Hemingway’s Use of Obscenity in To Have and Have Not BY HON. MONA K. MAJZOUB AND CHRISTOPHER J. DOYLE Ernest Hemingway’s dedication to “full use of the English language” provoked a backlash culminating in the 1938 Detroit ban of To Have and Have Not. The legal battle over the ban of the controversial novel was mired by procedural irregularities, but the litigation catalyzed legal and artistic breakthroughs that ultimately furthered Hemingway’s objective of promoting realism in literature. EDITOR’S NOTE: THIS ARTICLE CONTAINS LANGUAGE WHICH SOME READERS MAY FIND OFFENSIVE. INTRODUCTION In the cabin of a rescue boat at sea between Cuba and Key West, Harry Morgan lies dying.

    FISKE HALL NON-SEMINAR PAPER The Sage of Baltimore . \ l-ife of H.L. Mencken Luke Chennell On a blazing hot Sunday afternoon in 1925, Henry Louis Mencken sat at his typewriter in a hotel room in Dayton, T(.'1lnessee, stripped to his underwear. While he pecked away in his usual manner, he paused occasionally only to light up another Uncle Willie df,>ar and to roar with laughter at his own writing. The dispatch he u,-rote to the Baltimore Evening Stm was inarguably some of his best work. 1\lencken's dispatch told in flowing prose of a visit he and a female journalist took to a Holy Roller revival in the hills outside of Dayton, where "the old-time religion was genuinely on tap." The di>patch, later edited and published as "The Hills of Zion," would be one of Mencken's most reprinted essays.l Mencken was understandably concerned "vith religion at the time. The trial of John Scopes, a junior-high school teacher charged 'Weith teaching evolutionary doctrine contrary to Tennessee's anti-evolution laws, brought national attention to rising Christian fundamentalists across the nation. Though Scopes was eventually found guiltv, the sensational battle of Clarence Darrow and William Jennings Bryan provided endless amounts of amusement for the country at large, no matter what the legal outcome. Always near the center of attention was .Mencken. His lengthy and subjective dispatches to the Sun describing the atmosphere of the town and the trial are pieces of reporting which have hardly been repeated nor equaled in the history of journalism.

The Prudential Center was one of seven Regional Home Offices (RHOs) planned by Prudential in the 1950s to decentralize its management. What began as an effort to reinvigorate the company’s bureaucratic makeup evolved into a prominent building program and urban planning phenomenon, promoting the economic prospects of each RHO city and reshaping the geography of the business district.

  • I COMSTOCKERY and CENSORSHIP in EARLY
    COMSTOCKERY AND CENSORSHIP IN EARLY AMERICAN MODERNISM KAREN E. MAHAR B.A. (English), University of Lethbridge, 2008 A Thesis Submitted to the School of Graduate Studies of the University of Lethbridge in Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree MASTER OF ARTS English University of Lethbridge LETHBRIDGE, ALBERTA, CANADA © Karen E. Mahar, 2011 i To my grandmother, Eva Osyany, who always knew I had potential and recognized the importance of letting me discover it for myself. Nagyon szeretlek. Nagyon hiányzol. ~ A Kicsi iii Abstract Anthony Comstock was a moral crusader who abhorred all things lewd and obscene, and who was successful in introducing the Comstock Law to help his fight against it. His life- long battle against vice at the end of the nineteenth-century had an impact on literature and the literary world as it transitioned from Victorian prudery to modernist realism. Comstock’s influence negatively affected publishers, distributers, and writers, in particular, canonical Americans Walt Whitman and Theodore Dreiser. His methods were unconventional, and in the name of morality, Comstock often behaved immorally to achieve his goals of protecting youth from being corrupted by obscenity. The question of the value of censorship was present then, as it still endures today, and centered on the potential harm of viewing or reading obscene materials. Although Comstock presented an impressive record of confiscations and arrests, his crusade did not have a lasting effect beyond the fin de siècle. iv Acknowledgements The undertaking and successful completion of my graduate degree is due to incredible support from incredible people. To all of you, I am eternally grateful.

BLANCHARD* Three decades ago, Leonard W. Levy surveyed early American history and advanced the theory that the vaunted free press tradition was more myth than reality.' Such a supposition out- raged critics, who felt that Levy had tampered 'with evidence and had tarnished the image of a value central to the nation's development. 2 The attacks on his work were so vehement that, twenty-five years after the publication of the original study, Professor Levy revised his earlier work and tempered its findings to indicate that perhaps a tradition of press freedom had been developing in the nation after all and that his phrase "legacy of suppression" was too harsh.3 The controversy over the Levy book reflects, in part, the importance of the free press lobby among American historians, lawyers, and journalists.
