181565189Lenox Mass 1815. Single sheet 24.5 x 20 cm. partly printed completed in manuscript. Old folds heavily foxed. For $60.00 Gale sells one bark mill and grants to Elias Gould of Henniker County of Hillsborough NH "the full and exclusive right and liberty of using the said Bark-Mill in the town and county aforesaid." Signed by Gale and witnessed probably by his wife dated in ink September 11 1815. See RINK 1394 for one copy of an 1818 broadside printed in Lenox which takes note of a patent infringement for this patent; and for the grant of patent right see RINK 1392 which is an 1813 notification that Gale has purchased exclusive right to C. Tobey's patent bark mill. Presumably this is a somewhat different machine than our 1811 Gale patent. This broadside is not listed in Rink or Imprints. <br/><br/> unknown books

19681155Tokyo: The Simul Press; Charles E. Tuttle & Co 1968. Very good plus. 22142pp. plus frontispiece. Publisher's salmon cloth gilt. Presentation inscription by the translator on front flyleaf. Dust jacket with some minor soiling one small tear to top edge of rear cover. Japanese translation of Martin Luther King Jr.'s final book containing the important chapter on "Black Power." King's book is about non-violence in the face of growing black nationalism and militancy in the mid-1960s. "In his last book Where Do We Go from Here: Chaos or Community 1967 King dismissed the claim of Black Power advocates 'to be the most revolutionary wing of the social revolution taking place in the United States' but he acknowledged that they responded to a psychological need among African Americans he had not previously addressed. 'Psychological freedom a firm sense of self-esteem is the most powerful weapon against the long night of physical slavery' King wrote. 'The Negro will only be truly free when he reaches down to the inner depths of his own being and signs with the pen and ink of assertive selfhood his own emancipation proclamation'" -- ANB.
