In March of 1832 Charles Knight published the first issue of The Penny Magazine. As a project of The Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge SDUK the magazine aligned with the organization's mission to distribute easily accessible non-radical educational materials to working class Londoners. A new Magazine was published every week and featured wholesome articles on history geography natural science and general trivia. Annuals like these compiled a year's worth of issues into one handsome volume and were available for 7s 6d about £25 today.<br /> <br /> The Penny Magazine's 1d about £0.25 today price plus copious wood-engraved illustrations initially made the publication very appealing to a broad audience. In a somewhat ironic twist this low-cost magazine had very high production costs due to the number of illustrations. Not even a modest price increase to 4d could salvage the budget and The Penny Magazine issued its last on October 31 1847. The Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge unknown

18905909Philadelphia 1890. Very good. Two works: 6; 1pp. Gathered signatures; single sheet. Some edge wear and creasing minor foxing overall. Small hole to inner margin of first work with some chipping to outer margin not costing any text. A pair of scarce circulars issued by the Indian Rights Association in Philadelphia in 1890. The first work prints an excerpt by George Truman Kercheval titled "Heroes of North America" and a passage by Rev. Edgerton Young called "Among the Indians" focused on "Indian Heroism." Both works focus on missionary work to Native American youth and both were also published in The Christian in London around the same time. The second work prints a letter by Herbert Welsh headed "An Appeal for Immediate Aid in Obtaining Necessary Appropriations for Indian Education." Welsh was one of the co-founders of the Indian Rights Association in 1882; his organization dedicated to "bring about the complete civilization of the Indians and their admission to citizenship" was highly influential for quite a long time and continued its work until 1994. OCLC records five copies of the first work at Yale Amherst Harvard Smith and the University of New Mexico and just two copies of the second work at Yale and Harvard. unknown
18863893Mexico City: Lúcas el Brincón 1886. About very good. 58 issues each 4pp. separately paginated. Contemporary quarter sheep and marbled boards; original Mexican binder's ticket on front pastedown. A rare complete 58-issue run of this semi-comic political weekly published in Mexico City during the mid-1880s. The present set includes the very scarce five issues of volume two and is comprised of almost entirely first issues with the original text and layout which was changed for the more commonly seen bound collection of volume one only. Most of the small number of institutional copies recorded seem to be this bound re-issue of volume one with "segunda edicion" printed in the masthead. The typesetting and content usually varies between editions as well -- the second edition issues for example typically have an advertisement inserted at the foot of the final page whereas the original issues mostly do not have ads. Often the differences are even more significant -- in the second edition of issue seven much of the content has been cut from the final page and placed into issue eight.<br /> <br /> The text itself comprises a liberal satire of Mexican politics under the Porfiriato during the 1880s. The introduction to the first issue states the publication's political stance which is support of the liberal 1857 Mexican constitution. Each issue opens with the publication's main rule "Pagarlo antes de leerlo" or "Pay before reading" then follows an essay stating El Valedor's views on a topic sometimes as a satirical reframing of an article in another periodical. The remaining pages of each four-page issue are given over to political poems comic dialogues and quips on various subjects. Typical of its era the language is slangy filled with nicknames and allusions to politicians and it assumes a lot of knowledge of mid-1880s Mexican politics and newspapers. Porfirio Díaz Romero Rubio and Manuel González are among the politicians mentioned and the editor writing under a pseudonym that might translate as Lucas the Leaper did not think much of them referring to Díaz as "el Perfirito". A rare anti-Diaz periodical from the midst of his reign near the end of the 19th century. Lúcas el Brincón unknown

195016680New York: Inter-Union Institute Inc 1950. First Edition. Quarto. Staple-bound printed card wrappers; 64pp. Covers rubbed with small losses to extremities not affecting text; text clean and unmarked; Very Good. An anticommunist but pro-socialist labor periodical which drew articles and influences from across the left-right spectrum of the post-war labor movement. This issue includes what appears to be the first and possibly only appearance in English of Russian playwright Lev Luntz's dystopian drama The City of Truth first published posthumously in Berlin in 1924 translated by Hannah G. Hardman. The play envisions a society in which children are reared in an environment completely devoid of motherly love -- a theme that would be revisited in a number of mid-century anti-communist dystopias. Luntz died in a Hamburg sanitarium in the same year this work was published leaving behind a small body of work. He was only 23 but his passing drew commentary from no less a figure than Maxim Gorky who wrote ".he was talented wise exceptionally educated for a man so young. One felt in him a rare independence and daring of thought.it is difficult to write about this sad loss the untimely death of a talented man." This appears to be the only one of Luntz's works to have been translated into English and this the only appearance of the translation.
