185043049New York: n.p. 1850. First edition. A very good clean copy with mail folds small watermark in one corner leaf browning at edges. 1 sheet. 7 1/2 x 9 3/4 inches. Opposes candidate William D. Greene and calls for the Whig Nominating Committee of the Eighteenth Ward to select a different candidate for State Assembly. William D. Greene was a clerk for Harvey Hart in the NYC Bureau of Taxes who lived in the 18th Ward 15th St. near Fifth Avenue. Already in 1850 the New York City Whig Party was fracturing with a contingent opposing the Compromise of 1850. The conflict had come to a head just a month before this letter when the conservative faction left the convention under the leadership of Francis Granger and were known as the Silver Gray Whigs. Perhaps Greene was caught in the cross fire. OCLC locates only one copy: New York Historical Society. n.p. unknown books

1902147701902. By Hermann Sudermann. New York: Charles Scribner's Sons 1902. Original dark grey-green paper-covered boards decorated in gilt.<br/><br/> First and only Edition in English first American issue of one of Edith Wharton's earlier literary endeavors. She agreed to translate this play only reluctantly perhaps drawn by a topic she would later express in her own novels: the plight of a woman who is unhappy in her marriage due to her love for another man. In her Translator's Note she indicates that she had to exercise some creativity in her task because "to English and American spectators the long German speeches are a severe strain on the attention"; this is perhaps why Wharton's bibliographer Garrison lists this play as one of Edith Wharton's works -- and in fact she is sometimes referred to as the co-author of the play. Incidentally "The Joy of Living"'s last three words before the final curtain are "I am dead" -- just after the heroine has taken her own life. As with the one other copy we have had loosely inserted is a slip indicating that the British stage actress Mrs. Patrick Campbell née Beatrice Stella Tanner now holds the dramatic rights to this play; she was the director of the short-lived ironic! Broadway production produced in 1902 by Charles Frohmann. The second British issue of this book five or six months later consisted of these same American sheets with a Duckworth 1903 title leaf; it includes the same "dramatic rights" notice on its copyright page. Like some of Edith Wharton's other early books THE GREATER INCLINATION 1899 THE TOUCHSTONE 1900 and CRUCIAL INSTANCES 1901 this book was unfortunately bound in grey-green paper-covered boards rather than in much sturdier cloth. As a result none of these books has survived well. This however is a fine bright copy -- uncommon condition for what in our experience is an uncommon book. Garrison A7.1.a. unknown books
