1866784871866. MITCHELL S. Weir. The Case of George Dedlow in The Atlantic Monthly July 1866. Original printed wrappers. Boston: Ticknor and Fields 1866. First edition. S. Weir Mitchell's literary work for adults. Printed anonymously in the Atlantic Monthly this is the fictional account of a Civil War assistant surgeon who had lost all of his limbs in battle. The realistic descriptions of the narrator's injuries and amputations led many readers to believe the story to be true. The story was later collected in The Autobiography of a Quack and the Case of George Dedlow New York: The Century Co. 1900. In the introduction Mitchell says the story wasn't written for publication. He had lent the manuscript to a friend who sent it to another friend who then sent it to the Atlantic Monthly. Mitchell was a physician who specialized in disorders of the nervous system and is considered the father of modern neurology. During the Civil War he was placed in charge of Turner's Lane Military Hospital in Philadelphia which became a specialty hospital for soldiers with neurological diseases. This allowed Mitchell to study and treat soldiers with a condition he called "sensory hallucinations" of stumps commonly known as "phantom limb syndrome." Although first described as early as the 16th century by French surgeon Ambroise Pare Mitchell was the first to study and describe the phenomena in detail describing it in his 1872 textbook Injuries of Nerves and Their Consequences. The term "phantom limb syndrome" became popular from an earlier article Mitchell wrote "Phantom Limbs" in Lippincott's Monthly Magazine Dec. 1871 in which he described the condition at length for a more general audience. Small closed tear to front wrapper early owner's name "BC. Vaughan" in pencil at head of front wrapper else very good. unknown

3735427<p>New Orleans: Conservative Society of America 1968. Single sheet printed in red black and blue folded to make a multi-paneled brochure described here as a “pamphlet.†Condition is very good. hajhlcb374330</p> <p>A striking survival of conservative counter–civil rights literature centered on Reverend Henry Mitchell a Chicago pastor promoted as a patriotic Black leader by right-wing activist Kent Courtney and the Conservative Society of America.</p> <p>The pamphlet portrays Mitchell as an alternative to Martin Luther King Jr. and Stokely Carmichael emphasizing self-responsibility anti-communism and opposition to civil disobedience busing and welfare dependency. In Courtney’s framing Mitchell offered “constructive alternativesâ€â€”education employment and juvenile reform—while rejecting protest and direct action.</p> <p>Mitchell openly challenged Martin Luther King Jr. in 1967 over strategy and tactics and denounced Carmichael as “seditious.†His North Star United Missionary Workers of America consisting of some 65 ministers and tens of thousands of members is depicted here as an organization devoted to training employment and self-reliance for African Americans.</p> <p>Follow the North Star exemplifies a deliberate effort to elevate certain Black leaders who rejected mainstream civil rights approaches while simultaneously attacking the press liberal clergy and federal programs as communist-inspired. The closing text urges readers to buy copies in bulk and distribute them to politicians editors and pastors reinforcing its role as a propaganda piece.</p> <p>Scarce. Copies of CSA “pamphlets†as this is described were cheaply produced for mass circulation and seldom survive. This example illustrates the intersection of race conservatism and Cold War anticommunist politics at a pivotal moment in 1968 when King’s assassination urban uprisings and Black Power radicalism reshaped the political landscape.</p> unknown

An especially nasty piece of negative political campaigning attacking Hallett's private character during an 1856 Congressional contest in upstate New York. Mitchell trots out details of some private commercial litigation against Hallett along with some of Hallett's other transactions. "I do not know of a single case where a person has been benefited by dealing with Mr. Hallett; whereas on the contrary it is my candid opinion that there is not a single case where Mr. Hallett has had any dealings to any extent with any person or persons but what they are the worst off; except in cases where he has co-operated with sharks for their mutual interest in the destruction of others."

90458º: 8 263 1 pp. Oorspr. bedrukt karton rug verdwenen. 'Reveries of a Bachelor or A Book of the Heart' verscheen in 1850 in boekvorm in New York nadat een gedeelte in 1849 al in een tijdschrift was gepubliceerd. Het boek was een enorm succes: tussen 1850 en 1907 is het bijna honderd keer herdrukt waarmee het - althans in commercieel opzicht - vergelijkbaar is met een andere Amerikaanse bestseller 'Uncle Tom's Cabin'. Donald Grant Mitchell 1822 - 1908 schreef het boek onder het pseudoniem Ik Marvel. De Nederlandse uitgever maakt op de titelpagina handig gebruik van de populariteit die Hasebroeks 'Waarheid en droomen' bezat. Ook daar gaat het om de wat melancholieke beschouwingen van een oudere vrijgezel Jonathan geheten. unknown
