"5/4 cts Postage" in ink on final blank.<br/><br/> After the Massachusetts Medical Society had expelled him Bartlett sought to revoke the Society's Charter. The case illustrates the early efforts of medical societies to control physicians' treatment of their patients. The Society had tossed Bartlett for praising a physician who the Society contended was a quack. Bartlett said the Society itself "tended to promote quackery." Moreover it sought exclusive privileges for its members and prohibited "consultation with any who do not become members of that body." Witnesses are sworn and testimony presented. Benjamin Franklin Hallett represented Dr. Bartlett. <br/>II Harv. Law Cat. 1012. AI 54294 5. Cohen 14867.50. Dutton and Wentworth, State Printers unknown books

Letter press printed by Jean Buescher from metal engravings of Nancy Leavitt's original calligraphy in blue/gray pink/red and brown on green and cream colored papers; printing accomplished on a Vandercook Universal I at the Digger Pine Press. Nancy Leavitt's beautiful calligraphy is elegantly spaced bringing life to Jean Buescher's tender words. Art critic Maureen Bloomfield has written of Ms. Buescher's work "The energy.emanates from the interval; the space between act and aftermath; desire and effect. That her poems are thus often about space and the corresponding sensation and suspension of time makes me feel as if her work is best read not in typescript but in the context of a handmade book." In this book the combination of Nancy Leavitt's art is securely intertwined with that of Jean Buescher's - making it a distinct pleasure to hold view and read. Blood Root Press unknown books

1888WRCAM26356San Francisco 1888. 4;45pp. Dbd. Good. Washington A. Bartlett a former governor of California was dropped unceremoniously from the Navy amidst a veritable flurry of accusations in 1855. He appealed for restoration years later since he was out of the country at the time of discharge systematically proving each charge false and thus was restored in glory. The legal brief is a list of the charges and the final conclusion to sustain his restoration; it calls the original decision of the court to discharge Bartlett "an evil influence moved by a powerful enemy." The memorial is a lengthy testament to Bartlett's character and is endorsed by the "Society of California Pioneers" of which Bartlett was an active member. It was used as evidence in the court. unknown books
