Thomas Andrew Bailey December 14 1902 - July 26 1983 was a professor of history at his alma mater Stanford University and wrote many historical monographs on diplomatic history as well as the widely used American history textbooks A Diplomatic History of the American People and The American Pageant. He was known for his witty style and clever terms he coined such as "international gangsterism." He popularized diplomatic history with his entertaining textbooks and lectures the presentation style of which followed Ephraim Douglass Adams. Bailey contended foreign policy was significantly affected by public opinion and that current policymakers could learn from history. This book wad designed to be a general introduction to American diplomatic history. As in the previous editions the bibliographies have been brought up to date the index has been revised and the glossary added in the Fourth Edition as been expanded. The emphasis of this book remains on the American people and their influence in the shaping of foreign policy. Professor Bailey after three years at Hawaii taught American history for nearly 40 years at Stanford and also served as a visiting professor at Harvard University Cornell University the University of Washington and the National War College in Washington D.C. He retired in 1968. Bailey authored a number of articles in the 1930s that indicated the historical techniques he would use throughout his career. They remain noteworthy for the care with which Bailey systematically overturned received myths about U.S. diplomatic history by a careful reexamination of the underlying sources. His first book was a study of the diplomatic crisis over racial issues between the United States and Japan during the Theodore Roosevelt administration. He delivered the Albert Shaw Lectures on Diplomatic History at Johns Hopkins University on the Wilson administration's policy towards neutral nations in 1917-1918 later published in 1942. While the impact of public opinion on the making of foreign policy was a theme that ran through most of his works he laid it out most clearly in The Man in the Street published in 1948. In 1968 he was elected to the presidencies of both the Organization of American Historians and the Society for Historians of American Foreign Relations. The Commonwealth Club of California awarded him gold medals in 1940 for his Diplomatic History of the American People. Among the topics covered are Diplomacy Foreign Affairs Alliances Louisiana Purchase Neutrality Monroe Doctrine Anglo-American Relations Annexation Mexican War Samoa Hawaii Panama Canal Spanish-American War Theodore Roosevelt Washington Conference New World Order Cold War Korean War Immigration and Foreign Trade. This work which went through at least ten editions was a foundational text for much of the second half of the Twentieth Century and continued to have impact on historiography pedagogy and curriculum development. This fifth edition represents the state of knowledge and the state of teaching practice at the middle of the Twentieth Century and is an essential reference point for understanding what changed from earlier editions and what were noteworthy additions to subsequent editions.

A Gentleman from Mississippi. Founded on The Play of the Same Name Under the Direction ofWm. A.Brady and Jos. R. Grismer

190920579New York: J. S. Ogilvioe Publishing Company 1909. Softcover. Good. This softcover novelization of a long running serious drama of the early 20th Century is of interest for two reasons: it contains photos of the young Douglas Fairbanks Sr. who was appearing in the play still in production and while this softcover edition is not a first it is a rare surviving copy of the softbound edition from a "dime novel" and "how to book" publisher who appears to have had a significant niche in theatrical material which as the ads strongly suggest. The theatrical angle could intersect with the dime novel as this novelization exemplifies but also the how-to manual as obscure titles in the ads make plain. 8vo. 18 by 12 cm. 189 7 pp. Four plates all photos of the Broadway play that was still in production. Fairbanks is appears in two of the photographs. Ogilvie issued earlier a hardcover version of this novelization with eight plates. It would be an obvious cost cutting measure to reduce the number of plates when producing a cheap softbound. We note that the plates in our softcover version other than the frontis are placed at different junctures than any in the hardcover. We can not even say that the plates here were among those in the hardcover copy. The hardcover edition did have four pages of advertisements but there is no overlap with the six pages of ads in our copy. We suspect that our copy was hawked primarily at the theater itself and thus the theatrical slant to the ads. A few examples: On the rear cover is a pitch for "The New Mayor" "A Novel Founded upon George Broadhurst's play 'The Man of the Hour". Another page is devoted to a book"The Temptations of the Stage". Even material that at first blush may not be obviously theatrical can turn out to have nuggets that are so. Such is the case with a cheesy how-to book entitled "Old Secrets and New Discoveries" a potpourri of dubious tricks to get your way basically. One of the techniques it supposedly imparts is how to perform the "Spirit Mysteries" like the Davenport Brothers famous Vaudeville magicians. The cover is stained and soiled with a few small chips and other wear. Spine base chip up to and including last two letters of title. The pages are very heavily browned and also brittle as inevitable given the pulpy paper stock used. That said the copy is easily readable and we need not worry about damaging the book by mere touch; the book should be able to withstand careful handling -- requiring no special precautions -- just fine.
