1923GITk551Paris Editions des Juris Classeurs 1923. In-8 broché VII 386pp 1 feuillet non chiffré (table des illustrations et des matières). Orné de 17 illustrations à pleine page dont 7 fac similes d'autographes. Bel exemplaire frais et complet accompagné d'une lettre autographe originale sur double page (21,5cm x 15cm) à en-tête imprimée du Ministère des Affaires Etrangères, Cabinet du Ministre, datée de Versailles, 18 avril 1871. Jules Favre (1809-1880), alors Ministre des Affaires Etrangères, s'adresse à "Monsieur le Gouverneur", c'est-à-dire au Comte de Gueydon 1809-1886), alors Gouverneur de l'Algérie, pour lui recommander un jeune Lieutenant de Spahis, qu'il avait recueilli à l'âge de 12 ans, lorsque son père, Mohamed Bel-Hadj, Agah des Ouled Riah, avait été condamné pour son implication dans l'affaire de l'attaque de la diligence de Tlemcen-Oran, le 12 septembre 1856 dont il est question dans ce livre. On trouvera, page 296, un fac simile de lettre de Jules Favre faisant déjà allusion à ce jeune homme. Le capitaine Auguste Edouard Doineau (1823-1914) fit à nouveau parler de lui en 1874 lorsqu'il aida le Maréchal Bazaine, qu'il avait connu en Algérie, à s'évader. BEAU DOCUMENT EN PARFAIT ETAT.

Dustjacket. 256pp. Minor bumping to the spine ends a little superficial wear to extremities strong and handsome with a few areas of discolouration to the bright red cloth in a clean solid dustjacket lightly sunned and spotted to the spine and with some soiling of the white areas and shallow marginal wear. A very good copy. Internally clean although there is some acid reaction or offsetting to the pastedowns and flyleaves toning to page edges. Six illustrative photographs. A rather fascinating early work on conditions for prisoners in US carcerial institutions Fishman pioneered what was referred to as "Deprivation Theory" citing lack of access to heterosexual relationships as a major cause of unrest and friction amongst inmates he was an early suggestor of conjugal visits and a reduction in overcrowding:<br /> "Why is there such a wall of silence encircling the subject of Sex in Prison We are living in a frank and realistic age yet the subject of sex in prison - so provocative so vital so timely in view of the recent epidemic of prison riots - is shrouded in dread silence."<br /> Fishman's researches despite encompassing a number of theories that we know today definitively contribute to unrest and violence amongst prison populations weren't favourably received until the 1960's when a new generation of reformers took sections of his research and advanced them into a more modern understanding of what happens to incarcerated peoples and why the concept of "punishment" is essentially useless without a conceptual pathway towards rehabilitation and a time "after punishment."

48p. Original printed wraps, stained along the top edge. Publisher's advertisement on the rear wrap. 8vo. Contains a listing of the names of those unfortunate 600, and makes a strong case to refute the notion that Confederate prisoners were well treated by the Union Army. Very scarce. Howes D-577b. Always pro-Union, Alan Nevins describes this only as "An early example of Southern-style prison propaganda; basically a diatribe against Union officers and Negro guards." - Civil War Books I-190. John J. Dunkle of the 25th Virginia Infantry, this bitter invective. Included in his story is this commentary on the character of the guard unit: "Our guard consisted of one hundred Ohio Militia, commanded by two lieutenants. They are just as mean and ruthless as Yankees generally were, exhibiting all that villainy and cowardice so peculiar to Yankee soldiers, especially militia, who had never been in the front of battle. They offered many indignant insults to our honor and cause. Most of them were Ohio fops." I don't think that it has been previously commented upon that this publisher is usually identified with books that appealed to German-Americans, especially Mennonites. It would be very interesting to research John Dunkle's background. Was he one of the battling Mennonites? Along with this goes two nice articles about the 600 Confederate Officers 'Imprisoned Under Fire' in reach of Confederate guns, on Morris Island, South Carolina by Federal Major General John G. Foster. The Immortal Six Hundred were to serve as human shields in front of the Union Batteries at the siege of Charleston. A remarkable incident of the Civil War, written and told by a German-American Confederate. SCARCE. **PRICE JUST REDUCED! Front case 2 L
