1737WRCAM55322Philadelphia: Andrew Bradford 1737. 4pp. illustrated with two woodcuts in the masthead and four maritime woodcuts in the text. Folio printed on a single folded sheet. Minor foxing and edge wear marginal stabholes along central vertical fold two short repaired horizontal tears. Very good. A rare issue of the first newspaper printed in Philadelphia and in fact the first American newspaper to appear outside Boston. THE AMERICAN WEEKLY MERCURY was founded by the pioneering Philadelphia printer Andrew Bradford in 1719. As would be expected this issue contains news from both Great Britain and the colonies. The first page contains a Parliamentary dispatch regarding the production of iron in the American colonies "where it is capable of being produced in every respect equal in Goodness to the best Iron from Sweden." and a report of a shipwreck off the coast of Bristol. Also included is shipping news from Boston and Philadelphia along with almost twenty advertisements containing information on ships for hire runaway servants trade services debt notices real estate offerings and more. <br> <br> Most notable among the advertisements are three relating to slaves. The first advertises for sale "A Likely young Negro Man about Seventeen that has been in the Country some Years and had the Small Pox." The second seeks return of a runaway "Servant Man named Patrick Burk a Saddler by Trade.of small stature brown Complexion short black Hair mark'd with the Small Pox." The last advertisement in the paper touts for sale "Very good Houshold sic Goods of all sorts: Also divers young Negro Boys and Girls all Born here." <br> <br> Andrew Bradford was the fourth printer in Philadelphia and the son of William Bradford the first printer there and in New York. The younger Bradford became Philadelphia's sole printer when he returned there in 1713 and remained so until Samuel Keimer arrived in 1723. He immediately obtained the lucrative contract to print the colony's laws and produced the first collected volume in 1714. He also published works on his own account including almanacs religious works broadsides the second edition of CONDUCTOR GENERALIS and the present newspaper. Bradford published the MERCURY from December 1719 until his death in 1742 though it was continued by others until 1749. <br> <br> Issues of THE AMERICAN WEEKLY MERCURY or any early 18th-century American newspaper rarely appear at auction or in the market.

02972612mo 361 pages of manuscript entries plus 16 pages of memoranda and cash accounts at rear pocket diary bound in original dark blue leather wallet style binding some minor wear to binding few old tape repairs to wallet flap entries in a good clear legible hand. The entries are dated January 1st through December 31st 1865. Accompanied by mid-twentieth century typescript transcription compiled by a Michener family descendant. Manuscript diary of Philip Fie Michener a carpenter and resident of Duncannon Pennsylvania. Michener was born July 30 1821 and died July 22 1889. The entries record the daily activities of Michener the work he was engaged in news of the Civil War the death of Abraham Lincoln and his experiences on a trip west across Iowa to Sioux City Iowa and into Nebraska Territory looking at various properties with a view to purchasing a homestead in that Territory. Michener was a correspondent of Rev. Samuel Aughey 1832-1912 a Lutheran minister and natural scientist and former Pennsylvanian and who had been in Nebraska since 1864 who acting in the role of promoter and booster seems to have induced a number of residents of Duncannon to Dakota Nebraska Territory to seek homesteads. Aughey was appointed in 1871 by the regents of the University of Nebraska to a chair of natural history at the new university. The only scientist on a faculty of five Aughey acquired the title of “Honorary State Geologist.” He was possibly the best known member of the university faculty during the 1870’s Aughey became a well-known Nebraska booster. He promoted the richness of the state’s soils the idea of increasing precipitation by cultivating more acres and the prospects for coal fuel in that state with few trees. Sample Quotations: Sunday January 1 1865. “Sunday the weather fine and clear at Sunday School at 1 o’clock. School opened by P. F. Michener Sup’t and closed by Father Sylvanus Green with a few appropriate remarks we did get the news of the death of M. B. P. Stewart who was seriously wounded and died from the effects on the 27th of November 1864.” Monday January 2 1865. “… received from A. G. White twelve dollars for making sleigh and one dollar & half from A. Miller for repairing sausage cutter John McLain is very sick and he is at John Jones no person is allowed to go into see him save the family …” Monday January 9 1865. “This morning the coldest this winter. This evening somewhat warmer… Received a letter from Rev. Samuel Aughey from Dakota Nebraska Territory he gives much information about the country…” Wednesday January 25 1865. “This morning clear and very cold and has been all day and this is going to be a very cold night. The boys have a fine time sliding down the hills on their sleds. I was told today that the Smithsonian Institute at Washington has been partly destroyed by fire very lately which did contain many things that can never be replaced Such as paintings and so forth which is a great loss to the country.” Wednesday February 1 1865. “This morning cloudy and not so cold as it has been the sleighing is first rate yet. 18 years today since I did commence business. Chickens are crowing and it is but 9 o’clock. This evening is cloudy. I did today send my application with some certificates and a partition to Provost Marshall General for to try and get back my commutation and also a letter to the Hon. Jas. Bailey member of congress. Slavery is forever done with in the United States.” Wednesday February 22 1865. “This morning clear and pretty cold about 9 o’clock … There is a ball up at Bloomfield. I think it would be better for them here and hereafter if they would turn it into a prayer meeting and ask God to have mercy on their souls. Received the Governor’s message from Nebraska Territory I suppose sent by Bro. Aughey. Some very good things in it.”write for fuller description unknown books
19253070Richmond VA 1925. One year diary bound by Fidelity and Deposit Company of Richmond. Comprised of 271 pages handwritten by Beatrice E. Smither a young woman working in a law firm five years after the 19th Amendment's passage. The majority of passages are written in longhand with scattered shorthand throughout. Beatrice's daily diary reveals an incredibly active life and gives a strong sense of the kind of independence that women of her generation were experiencing.<br/><br/>Employed in Richmond Virginia at the law firm of Williams and Mullen founded 1909 and still operating Beatrice Smithers is the embodiment of a flapper. Throughout the year of 1925 she reports daily on her work at the law firm where she frequently stays til 6:00 or later on meetings of her multiple church and civic clubs and on her romances with two men Cy and George who rival for her affection. She even reports on political events such as board local and presidential elections in which she participates. The diary is clearly a safe space for her where she can sort out ideas and emotions. <br/><br/>"Quite busy at work today" she reports on January 5 "Lunch at noon with Mae Burton - at night trying to work up some plan for Junior Council Meeting - Cy talks to me early - does not bring me home from work - John D. calls me up and wants me to attend a meeting of the Sunday Night Club." In entries like these we get a sense of the busy rhythm of Beatrice's days. In others we get a sense of her ability to manage and lead groups and how seriously she takes community engagement. "Leave office at 5:25 to ride up.to Public Library & look over same & I take out our membership card to get a book for my Sunday leading exercise -- Mae brings me home & I work for awhile on preparing to lead Sunday morning exercises" she reports on January 22. We also get regular glimpses into Beatrice's private life and her family. "Dear Diary" she writes on February 18 "As if we are not all worried enough to kill us with father's craziness drunk nearly all the day since he got back from Westbrook I had to turn my ankle while walking." The next day "Father home - who is again as usual drunk with liquor and not himself." The addiction issues in her family drive Beatrice to pursue financial independence -- and to think seriously about her choice of a mate as she debates between Cy "so dear and devilish" and George "so sweet and faithful"; she even despairs "I wonder if I am a traitor to my own self loving two men at the same time" and "I wish I could die!.Everything is a mess." There are even entries that cryptically suggest she had a pregnancy scare or was using the rhythm method to avoid it: "Menstruation begins" October 8 and "Menstruation ends" Oct 14 the only two such in the whole book. In the course of the year she ultimately breaks with Cy gets engaged to stable and supportive George and decides to continue working.<br/><br/>A densely packed manuscript with research potential including but not limited to women's employment history gender studies post-suffrage literature the history of reading the history of social and civic clubs in America the history of tourism paleography family addiction and mental illness and sexuality. unknown books

1819SS321-001Various: Various 1918-1955. Hardcover. Very Good. For an itemized list of the items in this lot please inquire. Condition Very Good to Good. The Courier-Journal newspaper began publication in Louisville Kentucky in 1868 - the last run of the Courier-Journal newspaper was Sunday February 28 2021; the Courier-Journal Job Printing Company printing facilities closed for good on March 4th 2021. The material offered here is dated 1918 through circa 1955 and includes technical material used by apprentices and compositors working in the composition and press rooms of the Courier-Journal Job Printing Co. Included are 6 volumes of the Typographic Technical Series For Apprentices Part VI Nos. 32-40 out of series Chicago IL: Published by the Committee on Education United Typothetae of America 1918. All copies with the bookplate "Property of Courier-Journal Job Printing Co. For EMPLOYES' sic Use Only Return to Superintendent's Office" in a handsome Art Nouveau design on the front paste-down. This educational material demonstrates that the Courier-Journal Job Printing Company was unionized at least from the beginning of the twentieth-century and highlights the power and influence of typographers who were among the most educated economically mobile wage laborers in the United States and who were represented in every major urban center in the newspaper industry; the typographic unions won a 48-hour work week in 1897 and a standard wage scale throughout the newspaper industry; as an example of the power of the typographers unions in the 1930s the International Typographical Union introduced the 40-hour work week across the industry which spread to other unions and has sinse been codified across the labor sector by federal legislation; the typographers occupied an important if ambiguous place in the development of American labor history in as much as American labor was never successful in uniting all laborers together in one force but tended organize within industries. This grouping tends to focus on the tools of the trade including type specimens and catalogs of process inks issued in the 1920s and 1930s; Courier-Journal typographers left notes to themselves in these catalogs indicating material they felt needed representation in the Courier-Journal Job Printing Company's shops. Something of an outlier in this grouping is an accordion-fold volume of photographs of printing equipment available for use in the 1950s by the competing print shop The Standard Printing Company Incorporated of Louisville Kentucky. Most likely a salesman's dummy to show potential clients that The Standard Printing Company had the latest printing equipment and the most prestigious customers this undated circa 1955 without imprint accordion-fold photo-archive of printing equipment shows the most modern print shop of the 1950s. The earliest book printed by the Courier-Journal Job Printing Company was issued in 1884. An interesting article by Chris Kenning in the Louisville Courier Journal March 11 2021 gave some valuable insights into the history of the newspaper the Courier-Journal Job Printing Company and the challenges to the newspaper business and printing in general in the United States with the advent of desktop computers and the rise of the internet. While the Kenning article did not touch much on the time period 1918-1955 there are still interesting stories to tell about the printing industry in America the place of printing in the American labor movement and printing technology in the first half of the twentieth century that can be told using the materials offered here as visual aids. With the sale of the Courier-Journal to the Gannett Co. Inc in 1986 the road to the shut down of the Courier-Journal Job Printing Company was opened. Now the Courier-Journal newspaper will be printed in Indianapolis IN. The current print circulation of the paper is now under 60000 while the Courier Journal's digital journalism garners 4.5 million monthly visitors to their website. Media consolidation has been made possible with the internet's ability to distribute news on a minute-by-minute basis making regional newspapers printed on paper a redundancy. The Cincinnati Enquirer the Lexington Herald-Leader the Bowling Green Daily News are all regional newspapers that will no longer be produced locally after having been produced in Louisville by the presses of the Courier-Journal. This consolidation of the newspaper industry means the loss of 102 Louisville jobs including printing press operators mailroom and transportation jobs that have been lost to the relocation of the press work to Indianapolis.
