186934035Boston: Printed at the Office of "Weekly American Workman 1869. 22 2 pp. Original printed blue wrappers some light edge chipping and toning stitched. Very Good. <br/><br/> This printing designated "20th thousand" is the earliest edition located at the Library of Congress or on OCLC as of August 2017. It is Heywood's only Boston-published work. There are undated editions of the "Fortieth Thousand." <br/> "YOURS OR MINE attempted to solve the problem of property ownership. It was an investigation of the basis upon which property was held and the reasons why it was inequitably distributed. The labor reform movement should seek 'fundamental equity' he said and not become another 'assault on vested interests' a 'raid of the have-nothings upon the have-somethings.' .Heywood believed that occupancy and use were the real valid titles to ownership despite the fact that society acquiesced in other claims to ownership in the belief that such deference performed some benefit to the 'general welfare.'" Martin James: MEN AGAINST THE STATE 1953 page 111. <br/> A graduate of Brown University Heywood was a public speaker author abolitionist suffragist and individual anarchist. He believed that small communities should govern themselves without a central authority. Interested in labor reform he was a founder of the Worcester Labor Reform League and a delegate to the National Labor Union. In addition to his other causes he believed in "free love" opposed marriage for subjecting women to sexual slavery and supported free choice for women in sexual relations birth control and abortion. Arrested three times and jailed twice under the Comstock laws he was not dissuaded from following his own path. See DAB; Martin at pages 105-125.

Moderate toning light soiling and dampspotting to margins of a few leaves faint dampstaining to heads of preliminaries. $1500. Only edition. The colorful duchess is said to have been the basis for William Thackeray's character of Beatrice in Esmond and of the Baroness Bernstein in The Virginians and was also ridiculed in a play that she tried to legally suppress The Capuchin. Prone to romantic entanglements and scandals she had many lovers and it is said that George II was one of many to be swayed by her charms. When she determined to marry the Duke of Kingston Elizabeth feared the scandal of divorce from her first husband Augustus Hervey later Earl of Bristol who wanted a divorce so she instituted a suit of jactitation against him. His negative response ignored she took an oath that she was unmarried and the court so declared her. She married the Duke of Kingston in 1769 and he died in 1770 and left her a substantial estate on the condition that she remain a widow. The duke's nephew Mr. Evelyn Meadow brought suit against her for bigamy shortly after the duke's death while she was traveling in Italy. She returned to England to stand trial. Found guilty she would have been "burned on the hand" but she claimed the privilege of her peerage which served to exempt her from corporal punishment. She continued a life of travel and adventure until her sudden death in Paris in 1788. Dictionary of National Biography IX:730. Sowerby Catalogue of the Library of Thomas Jefferson 1957.

1932002745New York: Farrar & Rinehart 1932. #619/1000 copies printed " for presentation to friends of the author and the publishers". SIGNED AND INSCRIBED BY AUTHOR on verso of front wrapper ""Autograph for Eugene L. Delafield Esq. by Hervey Allen". Delafield was a noted New York book collector 1907-2001 the bulk of whose collection now resides in the Yale Collection of American Literature at the Beinecke Library. Laid in is a 1 page letter signed with the initials "H.A." that reads- "One of the few remaining copies of my first book- newspaper reviews with the exception of the "Weakling" which was printed in El Paso and sold to the troops along the Mexican Border in 1916. As you remember I told you I destroyed perhaps foolishly a few copies that remained in my possession and have been able to get ahold of only one or two since then that turned up in an old trunk. I am not anxious to have this book known as it contains verse written when I was very immature." On the back of this letter in a different hand presumably Delafield's is "written circa 1925". Indeed very few copies of Allen's 1st book survive today and after a promising start as a poet Allen turned to fiction and became best known for his novel "Anthony Adverse" which became a huge best-seller and was made into a memorable movie winning 4 Oscars. .
