PUBLIUS ON BANKING: OR THE MONEY-CHANGERS' TABLES OVERTHROWN

184937355New York: Printed for the Author 1849. Contemporary plain blue wrappers a little extremity chipping stitched. 22 2 blanks pp. Widely scattered foxing light wear. Good. Williams signs the preface 'To the People of the United States and more especially to the People of the State of New York.' He argues that government bonds "should not be sold in foreign countries as in that case you must pay interest to the foreign bondholder and thus compel the nation to pay tribute." He urges that American currency "be secured with United States State and City Corporation Stocks thus creating a home demand for these stocks" and likens such a reform to Christ's expulsion of the money-changers. He buttresses his arguments with nine letters on banking and currency. AAS Catalog Record #410591. Not in Sabin Eberstadt Decker or the increasingly unreliable OCLC as of January 2021.

The Night of the Iguana

1961D15376New York: New Directions 1961. Hardcover. Fair/Fair. 8vo; green cloth with black cloth spine lettered in yellow; dust jacket worn and chipped. Fireside Theatre Book Club Edition as noted on jacket. Laid into this copy is a program from the fireside Theatre's production in February 1963 starring Bette Davis Margaret Leighton and Patrick O'Neal. The play served as the basis for a memorable film 1964 directed by John Huston starring Richard Burton Ava Gardner and Deborah Kerr. This copy is from the library of Bryan Sheedy with his ownership signature dated 1963 on the front flyleaf. Additionally signed from the bottom up on the same page by Tennessee Williams. Sheedy bought and ran a guest house in the Turks and Caicos and over the years befriended literary figures Williams among them. Apparently a wide-bodied larger than life figure in the look and manner of a modern day Falstaff he was known to have a large library of inscribed literary first editions see New York Times travel piece on Sheedy from 1998. Unfortunately the Turks and Caicos is not the best place to store a collection of books and Sheedy's copies tended to be judging by the ones we have well on the "sheedy" side. This one was spared the water damage that affected some of the other books but has suffered curious little puncture wounds to the upper and lower corners of the front board. Unlikely that these are from a chained iguana such as the one that is depicted in the play; one would need to consult a herepetologist. In any case one of the more difficult titles to find signed by Tennessee Williams who was generous when it came to signing books. An interesting copy. Sold as is. New Directions hardcover books
