8. Akers Allen, Elizabeth: [Autograph Quotation, Signed, With Autograph Letter]. Portland, ME. 27 November 1880. Two pages, on two octavo leaves. Formerly mounted, with small loss at two tips of one leaf, otherwise very good.

An attractive autograph transcription by Akers of the first stanza (8 lines) from her best-known poem, “Rock Me To Sleep,” beginning “Backward, turn backward oh time in your flight ...,” signed in full at the conclusion “Elizabeth Akers Allen.” Accompanied by a one page a.l.s., Daily Advertiser Office, Portland, ME, 27 November 1880, to a Mrs. James Elder, apologizing for the year that has passed since she had written asking for a sample of her manuscript: “I was in England at the time whence I have just returned ... This, I hope, is sufficient apology for my apparent heedlessness of your request ... my handwriting is so far from pretty that I think you will be satisfied with the accompanying stanza ...” Again, signed in full. Akers (1832 – 1911) published her first collection of verse in 1855, under the pseudonym “Florence Percy.” Her career as a popular poet ran parallel with her accomplishments as a journalist and editor. She served a two year appointment in the War Department and included among her circle of acquaintances prominent feminists such as Paulina Kellogg Wright Davis. Shortly after this poem was first published under her pseudonym in 1860, her claim to authorship was challenged by a New Jersey poetaster and leather dealer, Alexander Ball, and although her claim was vindicated, the controversy was the subject of much public interest.

Produced by The Play’s the Thing Productions, distributed by RKO Radio Pictures, this black and white film adaptation of the novel by Louisa May Alcott was based on a screenplay by Mark Kelly and Arthur Caesar, and was directed by Norman Z.

Elsie was the Borden Milk Co. spokescow, and is billed in the opening credits as “Elsie – The Moo Girl of the New York World’s Fair.” Hardly a pristine copy, but the prominent featuring of Elsie (in a central vignette on the upper panel of a dust jacket for Alcott’s book) is pretty bizarre. $60.

First edition, publisher’s deluxe binding. Edges shelfworn, small nick in upper joint, but a very good, bright copy, in a binding destined by its very nature to not age well in the moist and trembling hands of those seeking escape in the pages of the latest simmering potboiler by the best-selling, but by then very troubled, Chicago author.

First edition of the second separate (but first substantial) publication by Elstob, a highly significant figure in the development of 18th century Anglo-Saxon studies, and future author of Rudiments of Grammer for the English-Saxon, First Given in English (1715). Elstob was as well prominent among feminists of the era, and counted Mary Astell among her circle of friends. The final leaves print a substantial list of subscribers, along with errata. This edition “is a lavishly produced book equipped with copious text-critical and explanatory notes, with a modern English translation facing the Old English text on each page and a lengthy introduction and appendix dealing inter alia with the role and enduring importance of Gregory in the English church. The historiated initial of the modern English translation of Ælfric’s text contains Elizabeth Elstob’s portrait engraved by Simon Gribelin ... Elizabeth Elstob’s scholarly œuvre is on a par with the best work produced in Anglo-Saxon studies at the beginning of the eighteenth century. Moreover, her concept of writing her Old English grammar in English, and of providing her editions with a critical apparatus, introductions, and translations—all in English—at a time when scholarly publications in the field were almost invariably written throughout in Latin, clearly pointed to the future” – DNB. The location of over one hundred copies by ESTC might be taken as demonstrative of the esteem in which Elstob’s text has been held. ESTC T86163. LOWNDES III:734-5. BRUNET II:966. $850.

Advance copy of the first edition of the author’s second book, published a year short of her death by suicide. Nicolson’s 1901 collection, The Garden of Káma, was represented as a collection of translations and the male pseudonym, and the translation ruse, helped deflect some of the criti- cisms leveled against the poems on the basis of their “tropical luxuriance and Sapphic fervour” (Thos. Hardy). The author’s true identity and gender were revealed in 1902 in the Critic, and the posthumous collection, Indian Love (1905) included a portrait as confirmation. Thomas Hardy praised her work, and after her death, contributed her obituary to The Athenaeum (19 October 1904). He endeavored to contribute a preface (eventually rejected by Heinemann) to the 1905 collection. As the first Anglo-Indian woman poet to achieve a popular readership (which persisted long after her death, and included musical settings and cinematic interpretations), Nicolson has an interesting place in literary history.

First US edition of the British actress, poet and dramatist’s journal of her sojourn, with her two children, at her then husband’s plantation in Georgia. The redundancy on p. 314 is present, but lightly marked through with pencil. This book contains a record of her life there during the winter and spring of 1838-39. Her husband prohibited the publication of the journal, and its publication finally took place years after their divorce and his death. “It is a small masterpiece of generous outrage, arguing from the amply and sympathetically documented details of what she had seen [in regard to slavery], to generalized indignation that such treatment could be tacitly encouraged by part of a civilized nation. Although it was deliberately not published in the American south, copies soon found their way there and scarcely increased admiration for the meddling of an outsider who expressed herself on what was regarded as an indigenous issue” – DNB.

404. Levertov, Denise: THE COLD SPRING & OTHER POEMS. [Norfolk]: New Directions, 1968. Paper over boards, printed spine label. Fine in dust jacket.

First edition. From a total edition of one hundred press numbered copies printed by Carolyn Ham- mer in Emerson type on Shogun paper and signed by the author, this is one of an unknown number of copies with the variant setting of the title-page and the limitation page (with one very minor difference) which Wilson denotes as the “deluxe edition,” but with endsheets and binding identical to that appearing on the ordinary copies. This is copy #14 and bears the ownership signature of poet/printer/publisher Walter Hamady. All of the copies we have previously had with these variant settings have been numbered ten or lower. As the publisher asserted that there was no “deluxe edition,” it would seem likely that the variations are a consequence only of stop-press alterations by the printer and were not intended as a mark of distinction between “editions.” WILSON A16b. $650. 405. Levertov, Denise: THE COLD SPRING & OTHER POEMS. [Norfolk]: New Directions, 1968. Paper over boards, printed spine label. Fine in dust jacket with small closed tear at one fold mended on verso.

First edition.

The binding is the normal configuration. As the publisher asserted that there was no “deluxe edition,” it would seem likely that the variations are a consequence only of stop-press alterations by the printer and were not intended as a mark of distinction between “editions.” WILSON A16 a&b. $600.

Each bearing the rubberstamp “From The Estate of Anita Loos,” but very good.

A good and affectionate sequence of letters from Lewis to Loos, who was then engaged in the adaptation of Colette’s Chéri and The Last Of Chéri to the stage. Lewis directed Kim Stanley and Horst Buchholz in the play during its two month run at the Morosco Theatre. Through much of period of the correspondence, Lewis is partially preoccupied with rehearsals and the opening for his current production in London (Hellman and Bernstein’s Candide, which opened in London in April), but while pressed for time, focuses too on his reading of Loos’s drafts in progress, meetings with potential cast members and negotiations with Buchholz, his own conceptions of the stage presentation, and other nuts and bolts issues. His letters anticipate his return to New York in May, “when we can then go right into collaboration ....” Accompanied by typed transcripts of three of the letters, a copy of Playbill for the production, and a catalogue for an exhibition drawing on Lewis’s papers at Kent State, 1991-2. Lewis (1909-1997) was a founding member of the Group Theatre, founder of the Actors Studio, and eventually became Chairman of the Yale Acting and Directing departments in the 1970s. $550.

She published her many novels, as well as collections of short stories, under a nom de plume (created by combining names from each of her parents’ families) to avoid trad- ing on her father’s reputation.

First edition. According to the accompanying mimeographed statement by the editor/printer, dated 1981, Moore originally contributed her text in the form of a letter, to be published in an anthology of tributes to Gregory. The editor, K.A. Ward, modified the text, ostensibly with Moore’s approval, but when contributions sufficient to merit the publication of the anthology were not forthcoming, he resorted to an experimental separate printing of Moore’s text. His understandable dissatisfac- tion with the quality of printing, and Ms. Moore’s death, resulted in his abandoning the project. In 1981, Ward “rediscovered” sixteen copies of the experimental printing, which he offered for sale, numbered and initialed by him, accompanied by the separate historical/bibliographical insert, including his warrant that any further “rediscovered” copies would be destroyed. This is copy #5, and the center bifolium is printed on a variant stock. $450.

The text was printed in Garamond types on San Marco paper by Joseph W. Tatum, after a design by Oakley and H.H. Dunn. Violet Oakley (June 10, 1874 – February 25, 1961) was a transformative force in the field of American mural painting and a principal affiliate of the Brandywine school of painting and illustration. After studying abroad and a term as a student of Howard Pyle at the Drexel Institute, she was commissioned to undertake the murals and stained glass for the Church of All Angels in New York, earning her distinction as America’s first profes- sional woman artist. Her political beliefs were shaped by the Quaker William Penn whose ideals she represented in her murals at the Pennsylvania State Capitol. She was committed to the principles of pacifism, equality of the races and sexes, economic and social justice, and international government. She lived with two other women artists, and the three were known professionally as the “Red Rose Girls.” They were joined by a fourth woman, Henrietta Cozzens, with whom Oakley had a long-term committed relationship, and they collectively adopted a common surname: the ‘Cogs’ family. When the United States refused to join the League of Nations after the Great War, Oakley went to Geneva, Switzerland, as an informal self-appointed Ambassador and spent three years drawing portraits of the League’s delegates, some of which are included here, in company with reproductions of her murals at the Pennsylvania Supreme Court building. After World War II, Oakley was an early advocate of nuclear disarmament. A special calligraphic presentation leaf appears in the first part, recording the donation of this copy to the institution from whence it was recently deaccessioned. $2000.

First edition of Porter’s first book, in so far as an unsigned bit of editorial/ghost-writing may be so declared. The text had previously been serialized in Asia magazine. Holly Franking’s 1991 annotated edition of this text of her grandmother’s narrative (UT Press) sufficiently lays to rest whatever controversy remained about Porter’s involvement in the preparation of the text. The pencil inscription: “Edith Eliot from L.F. 1921,” deserves consideration, although the ‘L’ conforms to none of the proper names of the Franking family identified in the 1991 edition’s notes. Getting to be uncommon in jacket. $850.

First edition of the noted Texas novelist and folklorist’s most important novel. Scarborough published this novel anonymously due to her trepidations about its reception in her home state. It follows the gradual descent into madness of a woman transplanted from her Virginia home to West Texas, where the constant wind personifies all the harshness that leads to her malady. The unflattering depiction of the region led to one of the more memorable instances of oafishness on the part of the Texas Legislature when, after the identity of the author was discovered, an “Anti-Dorothy Scarborough Day” was proclaimed. The novel was eventually transposed into a moderately suc- cessful film vehicle for Lillian Gish, and when it was reissued by the University of Texas Press a few years ago, it evinced a high degree of interest, and elicited no further response from the Texas Legislature. $450.

First Book

676. [Schreiner, Olive]: THE STORY OF AN AFRICAN FARM A NOVEL. By “Ralph Iron” [pseud]. London: Chapman & Hall, 1883. Two volumes. Original cocoa-brown cloth, pictorially decorated in darker brown, spines lettered in gilt. Tiny nicks to spine crowns, light occasional spotting and soiling to cloth, one rear inner hinge cracked (but sound), spines slightly darkened, but a very good set.

First edition of the author’s first and most widely known book, originally published pseudonymously in a relatively small edition, suggested by some to have consisted of as few as three hundred copies. An important feminist novel, containing perhaps the first “New Woman” in British fiction. The publication of “The Story of an African Farm” caused a sensation in the literary world, with the result that much of the edition was read to pieces by patrons of the circulating libraries. Copies in the original binding – in any condition – are therefore extremely uncommon. From the collection of Mrs. J. Insley Blair, with her “Blairhame” leather book label. Not in Sadleir, and Wolff lists only one of the later yellowback editions. OCLC/Worldcat locates 9 sets of the first edition, 4 in the US (Yale, Morgan, UCLA and Illinois), 3 in South Africa, and two in the UK (BL and Cambridge). A contemporary review from the St. James Gazette (20 March 1883) is laid in. NCBEL III:1077. $8500.

I am also to say that if he lectures his subject will be ‘Is the Dean of Manchester a Christian.’” In the postcard of 1910, she declines an invitation on their behalf as “We have taken a great resolution & are off on an Xmas trip to Jamaica to see the obvious.

First edition. In spite of a somewhat rootless early life, Smith (1776-1806) seems to have been something of a largely self- taught prodigy, acquiring competence in French, Italian, Arabic, Persian, Hebrew, Spanish, German, Greek, Latin, mathematics, music and astronomy. Her knowledge of Hebrew was a consequence of a Hebrew Bible loaned to her by the mother of her friend, Henrietta Bowdler. She was praised by Hannah More, and after her premature death (from a cold), her posthumously published Fragments in Prose and Verse (1808) achieved considerable popularity. This text was edited for publication by Francis Randolph. HERBERT 1536. $250.

First British edition -- the US edition preceded by six months, but contained fewer illustrations. Presentation copy signed by the author on the title-page and inscribed by her on the front free endsheet: “To H.R.H. [Henrietta R. Haythornton (?)] with love from E.OE.S. May. 1931.” Pasted-in on the verso of the plate between pp. 146-7 (“The Fairy Shoe”) is an original black-and-white photograph depicting a small overcoat. Beneath the photograph, in Haythornton’s hand (in faded black ink), is the story of how this garment was discovered under a stone in Ireland, named the “Fairy Coat” and shown at a party in 1923. The tale is reminiscent of Somerville’s fairy shoe story that appears on pp 144-148 of this book. HUDSON, p.49. $750.

[London: Printed (verbatim) by E. Spragg, December 1802]. 22pp. Octavo. Extracted from nonce pamphlet volume. Externally foxed and dust soiled, internally less so, about good.

First edition of this element in the prodigious body of publications, by Southcott, and her supporters and detractors, associated with Southcott’s career as a self-described prophetess. This work relates in particular to Southcott’s distancing herself from her contemporary and fellow-prophet, Richard Brothers, much of the text cast in verse. She asserts Brothers’ book, A Dissertation on The Fall of Eve, was written under the influence of the devil. Like the copy at Texas, there is a three word manuscript revision in the text on. p.11. A second edition appeared in 1815. WRIGHT(SOUTHCOTT) 13. $100.

718. Southcott, Joanna: COPIES AND PARTS OF COPIES OF LETTERS AND COMMUNICA- TIONS, WRITTEN FROM JOANNA SOUTHCOTT AND TRANSMITTED BY MISS TOWNLEY TO MR. W. SHARP, IN LONDON [caption title].

First edition of this work occasionally referred to as “The Parable of the Little Flock of Sheep,” after the opening selection.

NSTC reports copies at BL, Bodleian and Cambridge. WRIGHT(SOUTHCOTT) 22(1). $250.

719. Southcott, Joanna: LETTERS AND COMMUNICATIONS OF JOANNA SOUTHCOTT, THE PROPHETESS OF EXETER: LATELY WRITTEN TO JANE TOWNLEY. Stourbridge: Printed by J. Heming, 1804. 128pp. Octavo. Extracted from bound pamphlet volume. Light foxing (though the second signature is more heavily foxed), otherwise a very good copy.

First edition. Southcott met Townley on a visit to London in 1802, and with Ann Underwood, Town- ley became among Southcott’s most intimate help-mates, recipient and transcriber of much of her dictation and, as here, letters and “communications.” Interspersed with the text and verse by Southcott are sections of “Continuation of Joanna’s History,” signed by Townley. WRIGHT(SOUTHCOTT) 24(1). $250.

720. [Southcott, Joanna]: ON THE PRAYERS FOR THE FAST DAY; MAY, 1804 [caption title]. [London]: Printed by Marchant and Galabin, 1804. 48pp. Octavo. Extracted from bound pamphlet volume. Scattered minor foxing, faint discoloration in upper margin of last few leaves, but a very good, crisp copy.

First (?) edition. Like the variant copy cited by Wright, this copy has Rousseau’s imprint on the verso of the last leaf, but bears the Marchant and Galabin imprint on the first leaf. WRIGHT (SOUTHCOTT) 21a(3). $125.

721. Southcott, Joanna: A WARNING TO THE WORLD. JOANNA SOUTHCOTT’S PROPHECIES [caption title]. London: Printed by S. Rousseau, 25 April 1804. 100pp. Octavo. Extracted from nonce pamphlet volume. Title leaf somewhat foxed and dusty, with 1805 ownership signature of “Lucy Jenkins” in upper margin, occasional light foxing elsewhere, intermittent shallow tide-mark at top edge of a few leaves, otherwise very good.

First edition. “A prophecy dated London, May 10th, 1804. Joanna here admits that she does not understand her prophecies; only her judges, picked and inspired by God, can understand” – Wright. Accounts of some additional visions by Joseph Prescott are also recorded in this work. NSTC reports copies at BL, Bodleian and Cambridge; COPAC adds two more to that count. WRIGHT A20(1). $250.

722. Southcott, Joanna: ... ANSWER TO GARRETT’S BOOK, ENTITLED “DEMONOCRACY DETECTED -- VISIONARY ENTHUSIASM CORRECTED; OR, SIXPENNYWORTH OF GOOD AD- VICE....” ALSO, REMARKS ON AN ENGRAVED PRINT, PUBLISHED BY THE SAID GARRETT OF HIS OWN HEAD: WITH MARVELOUS AND WONDERFUL ACCOMPANIMENTS, WHEREIN THE DEMON IS DETECTED, DISSECTED -- WHO SOON WILL BE CORRECTED, AND ALL HIS ADHERENTS REJECTED. London: Printed by A. Seale..., [nd but ca. 1805]. [2],22pp. Octavo. Extracted from nonce pamphlet volume. A very good copy.

First edition. Jeremiah Lernoult Garrett, himself a rather colorful character in the world of purported religious visionaries, attacked Southcott in the afore-mentioned book, and she here replies, partially in her characteristic verse. The print in question showed Southcott in the embrace of Satan and Garrett in a stance of high-holiness, a characterization she did not take to comfortably. OCLC locates eight copies. WRIGHT(SOUTHCOTT) 26. $225.

723. Southcott, Joanna: THE CONTROVERSY BE- TWEEN JOANNA SOUTHCOTT AND ELIAS CARPEN- TER, ONE OF HER JUDGES, MADE PUBLIC. PART I. [through] PART V. [London: Printed by S. Rousseau ..., 1805]. Five parts (as issued), continuously paginated. 240pp. Octavo. Extracted from nonce pamphlet volume, with contemporary blank bifolia interleaves between each part. Residue of original spine, but a very good set.

First editions. Southcott’s serial attack on her former supporter, Elias Carpenter, a wealthy paper maker who broke with her and allied himself with two other alleged visionaries, Henry Prescott (a.k.a. Joseph) and Thomas Downland (a.k.a. Jeruasha). In the context of her account of the dispute, Southcott defends some of her prophecies which she thinks were fulfilled. Somewhat uncommon.

First edition. A fourth edition had been called for by 1814. A significant text relating to one of Southcott’s most controversial practices, the granting of protective “seals” to the faithful. “This book was written to explain to those who wished to sign the Woman’s petition for the overthrow of Satan, and become sealed believers the significance of what they were doing, something not to be entered into lightly. It is still required of believers who desire to be sealed that they have read and own a copy of this book ... before signing” – Joanna Southcott, The Woman Clothed with the Sun (online).

[London]: Printed by W. Marchant, [1808]. 83,[1] pp. Octavo. Extracted from bound pamphlet volume. Some foxing early and late, but a good copy.

First edition. Illustrated by Billings. A very attractive copy of this anonymously published collection of verse by the novelist, occasional writer, and author of children’s books (1824 – 1906).

Light wear to fore-edge of upper board, a couple of light spots to free endsheet faintly mirrored on title, some slight occasional hand smudging to margins, but a very good copy of a fragile book.

First edition of the author’s first separate non-pamphlet publication. In addition to all of the preliminary matter, Wiggin wrote twenty-one of the constituent songs, and arranged many others. This copy is at variance from the configurations (no sequence established) noted in BAL: like printing ‘A’ this copy does not have two blanks concluding the last signature, but page ‘x’ is numbered; like binding ‘b’ this copy is in brown printed boards, but the cloth shelfback is dark brown cloth, not green-black. The latter is not something at all unusual, but the former may suggest something significant. By its very nature, a book intended to be consumed, and difficult in this condition. BAL 22577. $500.

927. [Wilcox], Ella Wheeler: DROPS OF WATER: POEMS. New York: National Temperance Society and Publication House, 1872. 132,[8]pp. Original cloth, decorated in black and gilt, t.e.g. Some light dust spotting/discoloration to cloth, some scattered spotting in text (thumb smudges, offset from old floral specimens and the like), otherwise an uncommonly nice, bright copy of a book prone to flaws.

First edition of the poet’s first book, acclaimed as a “puerile collection of temperance verse” by Messrs. Papantonio and Kohn. Her next collection, Poems of Passion, connected with a wider audience after having been rejected by at least one publisher as “too hot to handle.” One of the poems in that collection (“Solitude”) containing the observation, “Laugh, and the world laughs with you; / Weep, and you weep alone ...,” had particular resonance and her fame took root. While known to the wider public for both her popular verse and her association with Theosophy, spiritual- ism, belief in reincarnation and other such passions of the time, Wilcox is best remembered among wits as having been the inspiration of Richard Murdoch’s “Ballet Egyptien” parody. SEVEN GABLES 34:287. $500.

928. Wilcox, Ella Wheeler: [Original Autograph Manuscript Poem (‘Your Wish), Signed]. [Np]. [nd.] Eleven lines, in ink, on 115 x 140mm sheet, trimmed at corners, affixed to verso of 185 x 246 mm. mounted photograph, with printed and manuscript captions. A couple of scuffs to face of image, some smudges and spotting to verso, (with two later pasted on George Washington clippings) and tab residue from having been mounted along one edge. Good

A probable fair copy draft of the poem eventually published in book form in 1916, as “Wishes.” The photograph, which bears a printed caption “A Cool Retreat,” bears a manuscript date 1884, and the notation, “Lake Bank (indecipherable) Milwaukee.” As Wilcox was in Madison until her marriage in 1884, the location (a beach with pavilions, benches, etc., no doubt on Lake Michigan) was possibly meaningful for the popular inspirational poet and New Thought advocate. $250.

929. Wilder, Charlotte: PHASES OF THE MOON. [New York]: Coward McCann, 1936. Large octavo. Cloth. First edition of the first book by Thornton, Isabel and Amos Wilder’s sister, a collection of poems.

Early engraved bookplate on front pastedown, surface loss at crown and toe of spine, fore-tips bumped and surface splits along joints, occasional modest foxing or spotting; despite these issues, a rather nice copy, and very scarce in this original state.

First edition, Novelist/poet Williams (1762-1827) found a second home in France, and wrote pas- sionately, but ignorantly, about the French Revolution, most often, as here, in the form of “Letters.” “The honesty with which she wrote carried conviction to many of her readers; and there can be little doubt that her works were the source of many erroneous opinions as to facts ...” – DNB. She began to publish her sequence of Letters in 1790, and concluded just prior to her death with an account of France post the Restoration. She was widely read abroad, and printers in the US were quick to publish their own editions. NCBEL II:694. $950.

First edition. After a number of years as a school teacher, Wyatt operated inns in several locations in Maine, Massachusetts and New Hampshire.

OCLC locates eight examples of the original edition. OCLC: 62618974. $125.
