Only edition. Mary Saurin Sister Mary Scholastica Joseph brought a case against her superior and another nun for assault and conspiracy to drive her from her convent and have her expelled from the order. Known as "the great convent trial" it was a sensational case that fueled contemporary prejudices against Catholics monastic orders and women. These themes are apparent in the Solicitor-General's opening remarks. This case shows "what women were capable of when they shut themselves up from their kind and did violence to the instincts of their nature and the great though mean and petty cruelty they could wreak upon a sister in the name of a religion of love" 2. The jury found in favor of the defendants on the counts of assault and for the plaintiff on the counts of libel and conspiracy to have her expelled from the convent.

1983791983. Very good. Ps. Sensational original presentation color photograph 16" X 20" of Carrie Fisher as Princess Leia in her slave costume. Boldly inscribed by Fisher in black ink to her psychiatrist Dr. Arnold Klein "For my own crazy. Who loves you darling Guess again. Princess Leia. Opiates for sure." With the original hologram sticker "Officially Licensed Star Wars Photograph" in the lower left corner. 2 dozen surface scratches else very good. Framed. If you like this sort of thing this is the sort of thing you'll like. My take Carrie's Leia is one of the 2 late 1970s world-wide magnetic babe fantasies see page 19 in this catalog for the other but needless to say we don't number our pages. And speaking of babes when we do employment interviews at Biblioctopus we give the women a bite-sized Snickers. If they take the wrapper off before eating it we make them catalogers. If they eat it with the wrapper still on they get hired for Security. unknown books

It is titled 'Defence of Fort McHenry.' BAL notes six previous newspaper publications in October 1814. Like this Analectic printing none of them includes the author's name. <br/> This printing is also famous for the editor's oft-quoted anecdotal introduction: "These lines have been already published in several of our newspapers; they may still however be new to many of our readers. Besides we think that their merit entitles them to preservation in some more permanent form than the columns of a daily paper." The editor describes the "circumstances" under which the song was composed. "He watched the flag at the fort through the whole day with an anxiety that can be better felt than described. In the night he watched the bomb-shells and at early dawn his eye was greeted by the proudly-waving flag of his country."<br/>BAL 11081 Section One G. Sabin 1358. unknown books
