193215829New York: The Macaulay Company. Good in Good dj. c.1932. Reprint see note. Hardcover. Good only book is worn and moderately soiled at page edges both hinges weak rear due to removed endpaper; jacket worn at edges and corners quarter-sized chip at top rear hinge taking part of the title with it soiling and scuffing to rear panel. The story of a brothel in Northern Germany where "fashionable women came to sight-see and sip champagne and fashionable men were frequent callers." The book is structured as a series of chapter-vignettes about each of the nine women who work there this being the joint's m.o.: "There were only nine girls never more and all of them beautiful all of them from different countries". You've got Natachia Russian Esther from Palestine Hahlihla from Morocco Frankie "the vivacious American girl" Fatima Arab father/Syrian mother Paulette French Lotte German "whose bourgeois appearance was contradicted by her store of strange desires and sadistic impulses" Raquel Spanish -- and "the newcomer the shy delicate-featured girl from Budapest who was to cause a strange turmoil in the house of Madame Antonia." The author was an actress and occasional playwright who appeared in the original Broadway production 1924 of "What Price Glory" as Charmaine the role played in the famous silent film by Renee Adoree The reason I state the edition as "Reprint" is that the book appears to have been published by Liveright in 1932; there's no indication on this Macaulay edition of any prior printing but then again Macaulay was a little slipshod about such matters. It's worth noting however that several of the books advertised on the rear jacket panel were in fact 1933 publications. . The Macaulay Company hardcover books

1867WRCAM56202Atlanta 1867. Broadside 15 3/4 x 10 inches. Text printed in three columns. Old folds. Minor foxing spotting and creasing. Very good. An eloquent appeal against the disenfranchising poll tax by a southern champion of Reconstruction. Henry Pattillo Farrow issued this appeal on behalf of the poor of all races in Georgia at a critical moment in the history of Reconstruction and the future of voting rights in the state while the Reconstruction Constitutional Convention was meeting. Georgia led the way in making the poll tax a bulwark against fundamental change in race relations in the South. Despite the opposition presented in this broadside the poll tax was retained in the final draft of the Georgia Reconstruction constitution adopted in 1868 and was carried over in the 1877 revision. <br> <br> After serving in the Confederate Army Farrow was a Georgia state attorney general and a federal district attorney who strove to cooperate with northern efforts at Reconstruction and ensure the state's compliance with the Sherman Reconstruction Bill. Here he argues for removal of a provision in the proposed Reconstruction constitution for the state of Georgia which permitted the imposition of a poll tax for "educational purposes." In part Farrow's statement on the poll tax reads: <br> <br> "There is in the humble judgment of the writer no species of taxation ever assessed by any government more violative of the principles of the science of political economy and of common sense than taxation of that kind. A poll or per capita tax is not upon property; is not upon a profession a trade or a business; but it is a tax on man's inalienable rights - 'life liberty and the pursuit of happiness.' All who are in the enjoyment of those inestimable and inalienable rights ought aid in supporting the Government which protects those rights. There is no disputing that self-evident axiomatic proposion sic. Yet can a man be so poor so destitute as to live without yielding some return in the way of tax to the Government which protects him Can you point to a single citizen of Georgia white or black who pays no tax You can not do it." <br> <br> Scarce with only seven institutional copies recorded in OCLC at Yale Duke Williams College University of West Georgia University of Michigan Vanderbilt and the American Antiquarian Society. Hummel adds a copy at the University of Georgia. A fine example of early and ultimately unsuccessful resistance to the institution of poll taxes in the South. HUMMEL 594.
