Her work, even on the volumes which do not include her trademark ‘MA’ monogram, is quite recognizable, and her bindings are widely collected.

[Spiritualism] Miss X (Goodrich-Freer, A. [Ada]) SOLD Essays in Psychical Research George Redway, London, 1899. Second edition. Errata slip bound in preceding p. 1. The personal copy of Violet Tweedale, a Scottish spiritualist, with her name in pencil on the front endpaper. Ada Goodrich-Freer, who published most of her works under the pseudonym ‘Miss X’, was a self-described mystic and psychic who wrote quite a few books and articles in this field. She was likely among those fraudulently capitalizing on $250 the popularity of spiritualism at the time, though: she was expelled from the Society for Psychical Research based on such suspicions, and was later found to be faking a seance. Violet Tweedale, to whom this book belonged, also wrote numerous works in the field (as well as quite a few novels). Tweedale was an associated of Helena Blavatsky, the prominent Russian

www.yesterdaysmuse.com 34 occultist and founder of the Theosophical Society. Tweedale belonged to the Order of the Golden Dawn. Her 1924 book Phantoms of the Dawn included a preface by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, the writer of the Sherlock Holmes mysteries. Doyle was a self-declared spiritualist, and attended numerous seances and other such gatherings. He was also a member of the same society that rejected Goodrich-Freer. In this work, ‘Miss X’ discusses haunted houses, crystal-gazing, dowsing, hypnotism, psychic healing, and second sight. An interesting book with a fascinating association. 211. [Theatre] Gantillon, Simon; Boyd, Ernest Maya: A Play in a Prologue, Nine Scenes and an Epilogue Robert M. McBride & Company / J.J. Little & Ives Company, New York, 1928. First translation of the French play which was suppressed by legal authorities in New York City after fewer than two weeks at the Comedy Theatre in 1928, after being deemed an ‘immoral’ play. Drama critic Alexander Woollcott, who called it “so beautiful a play... that it cannot fail. But... there is always the chance that New York will fail...” later commented that the play was censored “in almost medieval secrecy... [by a] murderously $150 effective and, to my notion, entirely vicious law.” Examines the world of prostitution in a controversial manner similar to Shaw’s Mrs Warren’s Profession, which suffered the same treatment by authorities. This censorship inspired an outpouring of equally controversial dramatic productions, leading to the Wales Padlock Law of 1927, which allowed playwrights, producers, and actors to be criminally prosecuted for their roles in these allegedly immoral works. Maya was the first play against which the law was used (Wainscott, The Emergence of the Modern American Theater, 1914-1929, p. 76). This publication in book form followed the suppression of the play, and the jacket illustration by Darcy (this is probably Art Deco illustrator Lyse Darcy, who produced a number of well-known advertisements for the French cosmetics company Guerlain) showing two pairs of hands suggestively reaching upward towards the title character seems to be an open act of defiance against the law. The play inspired a film of the same name in 1949 starring Jean-Pierre Grenier and Viviane Romance, which was directed by Raymond Bernard. 212.

By Mr. Peter Kalm, a Swedish Gentleman who travelled there. J. Whiston and B. White, London, 1751. First edition (Sabin 3868, Howes B222). John Bartram was a Quaker, brother of naturalist William Bartram, and the first native-born $7500 American botanist. Carl Linnaeus called him ‘the greatest natural botanist in the world.’ In 1743, he and Benjamin Franklin co-founded the American Philosophical Society. An important book, notable also for the fold-out frontispiece which depicts the town of Oswego, as well as an overhead view plan of an Iroquois longhouse. Church 977: “This is a very reliable work by two of the most eminent observers and naturalists of their day. Bartram made this trip in 1743 with Conrad Weiser, an agent of Pennsylvania, sent to hold a friendly conference with the Iroquois. His principal object in making the trip was to study the flora of the country. He was an expert botanist, and acquired such a reputation that he attracted the attention of Linnæus. His book throws considerable light upon the manners and thoughts of the people with whom he came in contact. It contains a plan and view of the Long House, a form of architecture peculiar to the tribes of the Six Nations. Kalm’s account is the first scientific description, in English, of Niagara Falls.” 229. [Literature] Steinbeck, John The Grapes of Wrath The Viking Press, New York, 1939.
