196333458New York: V.L. Richman 1963. Six issues. Quarto 14" x 8-1/2". Original corner-stapled sheets; mimeographed; each issue 6pp. Horizontal folds for mailing else Very Good to Fine. Six representative issues including the scarce inaugural number of this individualist anarchist semi-monthly which ran to a total of 23 issues ceasing publication in 1965. An eccentric and ephemeral publication described on the mast-head thus: "An independent and assertedly individual journal of commentary news and criticism of interest to residents of New York City published semimonthly edited by V.L. Richman and dedicated to prisons and jailers that they may continue to make anarchists of us all." The second issue contains a solicitation for submissions but it would appear that Richman in addition to editing and publishing the paper also provided most of its content. V.L. Richman unknown

24837Without date or place. Late eighteenth or early nineteenth century. Edinburgh. See Craig’s entry and that of Chesterfield in the Oxford DNB. 4pp 4to. Bifolium. The second leaf had been neatly inserted into a windowpane mount. On brittle and aged paper; complete but coming away at foot from torn remains of mount with slight chipping at foot of first leaf the central horizontal fold of which has closed tears along its crease. The item is unsigned but ‘Lord Craig’ is identified as the author in pencil in nineteenth century hand twice on the mount. Ninety-two closely-written lines with extensive revision and amendation. Begins: ‘Few Books have been published of late years wh. have drawn men more than the Letters of ye Earl of C. to his son. The high character of ye Nob. Author & uncommon elegance of the stile & manner have contributed to their celebrity and the peculiar nature of the instructions which they contain their progress in the World.’ Although untraced the essay was probably intended for periodical publication probably in ‘The Mirror’ or ‘The Lounger’.

1900Q1833ca. 1900. Hardcover. Fair. Half leather folio 16 x 11 inches. Manuscript pagination to 390. Leather rubbed and a little tattered at the edges but consolidated to treat red rot and free of residue. The first 48 pages are clippings from assorted publications starting with a lengthy 1895 critique of what went wrong for the Confederates published in the New York Sun. It picks up on page 56 with clippings from the Milwaukee Free Press founded by Harry P. Myrick spanning its very first issue printed June 18 1901 through December 9. The Free Press clippings occupy up to page 158 with the remainder up to 390 left unused. Articles about executive power tariffs tax evasion pension fraud post office deficits and chronic complaints about other news outlets' "unfair and mean" reporting are among the timely conceits. The book is believed to have been compiled by one of the Free Press' contributing writers and primarily his own work. A few items have pencil notes complaining about edits made by H.P. Myrick founding editor of the Free Press; a few clippings also have Myrick's name written at the bottom. Pro-LaFollette and anti-Tammany but the politics aren't always clear or consistent regarding Southern sympathies imperialism and women's rights. Spelling including immigrant surnames and grammar is the United States or Are is a recurring point of contention. Very tidily composed with evenly spaced continuous strips to rather pleasing aesthetic effect especially with the age toning. On first consideration a kind of foil to Michael Lesy's Wisconsin Death Trip full of mainstream politics and pettiness it still contains an inescapable amount of Midwestern weird quacky characters and tabloid mystery: see "A Foolish Woman and Man" on a married woman murdering a "sporty young man" who had made unwanted sexual advances our author is unsympathetic; and the tale of a "Quack Preacher" from Chicago who "expects to be lonesome in heaven for lack of men" noting the decline in male churchgoers--to which our author responds "to have to sit and hear a donkey preach keeps them away." Another clipping about the investigation of Francis Schlatter: "Investigations touching the sanity of other healers than Schlatter ought to result in a large measure of benefit to the world and a largely increased population at the asylums. Other topics: "Wisconsin Bad Boys" fraternal hazing 129 "Education and Anarchism" 123 Admission of Hawaii as a state 77 death of McKinley 114 women working in offices 111 contentions on the term "Polly-wog" 33 Steel strike 88 plague scare 89 alcohol in Alabama 131 wealth distribution "harmless amusements" gambling voter suppression 125 divorce and "The Mistakes of Women" 12.
