192117120Pasadena: Upton Sinclair 1921. Reprint. Octavo 18cm. Printed buff wrappers; 891pp ads. Covers and text mildly toned; still a tight lightly worn copy of the unusual wrappered edition. Simultaneously reprinted in cloth by Sinclair; initially published by John C. Winston & Co. in 1915. 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 printing even included an 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 2013 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.

1750WRCLIT54321London: Printed for John Whiston 1750. 222pp. Octavo. Extracted from pamphlet volume and disbound. Title and verso of ad leaf rather darkened and smudged old creases; just a sound copy. One of several contemporary printings of this work for Whiston priority unknown; it was quickly reprinted for other booksellers and in Dublin and elsewhere and saw several reprints in later years. "After the earthquakes of 1750 Sherlock published a 'Pastoral Letter' of which 'ten thousand were sold in two days and fifty thousand have been subscribed for since the first two editions" - DNB quoting Walpole. Not unlike certain extremist religious eccentrics of our own times Sherlock did not miss the opportunity to interpret very natural if unfortunate occurrences as evidence of divine displeasure at such things as plays operas music dancing cock-fighting and prize-fighting during Lent and the common availability in the city's streets of novels "vile abominable Pictures of Lewdness" and "Books in the Instruction of the Unexperienced in all the Mysteries of Iniquity."

His work culminated in the publication Researches into the Anatomy and Pathology of the Eye 1896 which earned him worldwide recognition."
