191586007Philadelphia: The John C. Winston Company Publishers 1915. First Edition. Octavo 20.5cm; maroon cloth with titles stamped in gilt on spine and front cover; photographic frontispiece8915pp; illus. Spine ends nudged light wear to corners and lower board edges internally clean and tight; a Very Good copy.With printed bookplate of Ruth Jarvis Hall to front pastedown. <br /> <br /> Important early anthology of radical prose poetry and art chosen "from five thousand years of writings on the working man." Includes sources as diverse as Arturo Giovannitti and Eugene Debs to Habakkuk and Martin Luther. Sinclair's intention with this work was to create a "Socialist Bible" to be mass-produced and present in every American household and Winston's initial edition even included a "Bible Issue" in black limp pebble-grained morocco. In his introduction Jack London indeed refers to this as "a humanist holy book;" but as of this writing 2025 Sinclair's effort does not appear to have supplanted the Christian Bible - despite years of looking we have yet to encounter a copy of The Cry for Justice in a hotel dresser drawer. There was also a Sinclair issue of this title ca. 1921; this trade edition from the Philadelphia publisher John C. Winston is by far the scarcer. AHOUSE A22a; BAL 11961. The John C.
