1765ST19567-130Dublin: John Exshaw 1765. Fourth Edition First Irish Edition. 250 x 125 mm. 8 x 5". 8 p.l. xxvi 443 1 pp. 6 leaves index. <br/> Plain contemporary calf spine with raised bands head and tail of spine and some edges and corners skillfully restored. Four copperplate diagrams inserted into the text three folding; additionally with two attractive woodcut headpieces and one tailpiece all with scrolling foliate motifs. Front pastedown with handwritten bookplate of L. A. Skinner 4 The Ridge Coulsdon Surrey. ESTC T129360. Spine and edges of the boards dried and darkened lower corner of front cover with large discoloration from damp text with very thin dampstain all suggesting the book survived a fire but the binding sturdy and the text surprisingly clean and fresh nevertheless.<br/> <br/> This is a nicely illustrated work that had a huge impact on British horticulture as the first work to focus in depth on the practicalities of growing plants in a cold climate like that of Scotland. Scottish lawyer and horticulturist Sir James Justice 1698-1763 was well known among his contemporaries for the collection of rare and exotic plants he curated on his Midlothian estate. He is credited with having cultivated the first pineapple in Scotland and was elected to the Royal Society for his botanical efforts. Fellow Royal Society member William Houston named in his honor the genus Justicia which contains more than 900 species of mostly tropical flowering plants. This work his best known was originally published in Edinburgh in 1754 under the title "The Scots Gardiners Director." Because of its obvious relevance for gardeners in Scotland it was an immediate success there as well as in northern England and Ireland. This led to the re-titling of the book to "The British Gardener’s Director" and the publication of two further editions in Edinburgh followed by our 1765 Dublin edition which seems to be quite rare on the market.

19545690New York: Committee for Justice for Puerto Ricans 1954. Very good. 4pp. on a single folded sheet plus mimeographed transmittal letter. Minor wear central vertical crease throughout. A fundraising pamphlet seeking support for prominent African-American lawyer Conrad Lynn who at that time was defending seventeen Puerto Rican citizens arrested in the wake of an incident in 1954 when four Puerto Rican nationalists opened fire in the United States Congress. Lynn's clients were additional Puerto Rican nationals arrested under a "crack down" described here as "a sweeping and unprecedented indictment for general conspiracy to overthrow the government by force and violence." The transmittal letter details Lynn's recent success in securing the acquittal on appeal of Ruth Reynolds another Puerto Rican national arrested after being accused of participating in the 1950 uprising in Puerto Rico. The committee points out the similarities in that case and the current one urging that Lynn will attempt to bring the same result. Conrad Lynn was known as the "Lawyer for the Damned" who worked over the course of his career for civil rights and in defense of draft resisters Puerto Rican nationals the Black Panthers and others. Lynn was also notable as the first Black graduate of the Syracuse Law School in 1932. We could locate no other copies of this appeal in OCLC or elsewhere.

Internally an excellent copy with original wraps bound in; occasional light foxing and small paper loss to margins of last two leaves neither affecting text. Octavo collates complete with 31 pages. An exceptionally rare copy of Sand's first work on social justice of which only 500 were printed. This copy is the only one known to have come onto the market with none in the modern auction records and the only other held at La Bibliotheque Nationale de France.<br /> <br /> Having dedicated the first decade of her career toward writing novels about women's internal and social struggles George Sand made her first move into activism with Fanchette. Shocked by the story of a young girl with mental illness who had been refused refuge in a convent and was soon after discovered pregnant and arrested for begging Sand opted to expose the events in a set of letters printed in the Revue Independente. Following a wave of public outcry "Sand decided to have the letters printed in brochure form with the plan that half the copies would be distributed free to the workers of La Chatre the others sold for the benefit of Fanchette. Five hundred copies of this brochure of thirty-one pages were printed and circulated. The Fanchette case therefore revealing as it did an appalling lack of sympathy for the poor and misfortunate convinced George Sand that an effort should be made to awaken the citizens of La Chatre to their duties as members of a community" Bowes. This publication marked a new phase of Sand's writing career which more directly emphasized social justice particularly for vulnerable women. A rare and important work.
