1981157890Westport CT: Arlington House Publishers 1981. First edition first printing presentation copy inscribed by the author on the front free endpaper "To Justin Dart Best wishes to a friend of supply-side economics. Bruce Bartlett July 8 1981". The recipient was "the bluntest and most outspoken member of the 'kitchen cabinet' of old friends who have been longtime advisers to President Reagan" New York Times obituary. In 1939 the businessman Justin 1907-1984 married the actress Jane Bryan 1918-2009 Reagan's co-star in Girls on Probation 1938 Brother Rat 1938 and Brother Rat and a Baby 1940. The couple met regularly with Reagan and his first wife Jane Wyman whom he had met on the Brother Rat films and afterwards with Reagan's second wife Nancy. Their friendship lasted until Justin's death over four decades later and was significant - the Darts were partly responsible with other Southern California businesspeople in persuading and aiding Reagan to run for governor of California in 1966 and encouraged him to run for vice-president in 1976 and president in 1980. In Reagan's autobiography he recalls it was Justin who on a trip to England first introduced him to Margaret Thatcher American Life p. 204. Reagan awarded him the Presidential Medal of Freedom posthumously in 1987. Bruce Bartlett was a committed supporter of the supply-side model. Published in the early months of Reagan's presidency Reaganomics both outlines the supply-side theories and makes proposals for further reform. Octavo. Original blue cloth spine lettered in silver.

Map condition: Very Good. Howes B201 Wagner-Camp 234. From Texas State Historical Association:<br /> "Thanks to his standing in the Whig party John Russell Bartlett 1805-1886 was appointed United States boundary commissioner by Zachary Taylor to carry out the provisions of the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo. Despite his ignorance of the Southwest he accepted this post because he wanted to travel because he wanted to see Indians and because he needed the money. Bartlett left New York with a large party on August 3 1850 and landed at Indianola Texas twenty-seven days later. After traveling overland he arrived at El Paso del Norte Juárez to begin work with the Mexican boundary commissioner Pedro García Conde. The point where the southern boundary of New Mexico was to begin on the Rio Grande proved difficult to determine because of inaccuracies in Disturnell's 1847 "Map of the United Mexican States" and Bartlett allowed the boundary to be set forty-two miles north of El Paso. When American boundary surveyor Andrew B. Gray refused to agree to this Bartlett departed for a tour of northwestern Mexico. He arrived in California he then traveled east through Arizona and New Mexico to Texas where he learned that Congress had rejected the Bartlett-García Conde line. Because of Bartlett's error the United States in 1853 had to negotiate the Gadsden Purchase which set the boundary of New Mexico at 31°47' north latitude. The Gadsden Purchase which transferred mainly desert lands to the United States was viewed as essential for establishing a southern route for the transcontinental railroad. <br /> <br /> "Bartlett returned to Rhode Island and wrote a two-volume Personal Narrative of Explorations and Incidents in Texas New Mexico California Sonora and Chihuahua Connected with the United States and Mexican Boundary Commission during the years 1850 51 52 and 53 1854 which became a standard early source of information about Texas and the Southwest.

Minimal foxing to endpapers two light scratches to front cover otherwise a fine copy.<br /> <br /> Journey's End began life as one of the most powerful stage depictions of the First World War - premiering in 1928 and quickly becoming a defining work of trench literature. This 1930 novelization written by Sherriff in collaboration with Bartlett expands the emotional interior of the officers in the dugout preserving the claustrophobic tension and quiet fatalism that made the play so enduring.<br /> <br /> One of the earliest collectible book forms of the text following the play's triumph and one of the most authentic literary portrayals of WWI trench life. It bridges drama and prose.<br /> <br /> A cornerstone work alongside Remarque and Sassoon in shaping the literary memory of the war. London: Victor Gollancz Ltd. , 1930 unknown
