1903250806003Raleigh North Carolina: Self-published Reverend Morgan Landon Latta 1903. 1st Edition. Hardcover. Very Good. Rare true first edition of the controversial autobiography of Reverend Morgon London Latta.<br /> <br /> IMPORTANCE<br /> <br /> Born into slavery from a background of poverty from which he successfully emerged Latta is a polarizing historical figure. In some circles Latta is recognized in as an important leader in Black education during post-Reconstruction. For others he is a fraudulent schemer whose autobiography was found to be filled with falsehoods and exaggerations of the truth that were used to exploit Northerners into donating to fund his university Latta University donations largely misappropriated for personal use - a scandal which ultimately shut down Latta university and tarnished his image. <br /> <br /> Condition- VG - ex-library. <br /> <br /> Note: I rarely sell ex-library but a true first edition of this infamous and fascinating "autobiography" rarely comes up for sale. All other copies I currently see listed as of this posting as first editions are actually the 1923-24 reprint.

Octavo 8 3/8" x 6" 371 pp. Black and white photo illustrations. <br /> <br /> ABOUT THE AUTHOR <br /> <br /> Rev. Morgan London Latta L.L.D. 1853 -1937 was an African American educator who operated a fraudulent scheme to solicit and misappropriate funds. He founded Latta University in Raleigh North Carolina and used it to exploit the goodwill of Northern donors during the post-Reconstruction era. Despite the exposure for his criminal misconduct which brought an end to his school and standing Latta's legacy continues to be commemorated in Raleigh as a pioneer in Black education. <br /> <br /> Latta founded Latta University in Oberlin Village an antebellum enclave established by free Blacks in West Raleigh. Latta University received its official incorporation on February 15 1894 following the acquisition of land in Oberlin Village and fundraising efforts to finance its construction a process spanning three years. Latta traveled across the North making speeches and fundraising for the university. Despite numerous primary accounts and documents revealing his autobiography to be false it played a crucial role in his fundraising efforts and decades later in establishing his legacy.<br /> <br /> In 2019 Morgan Latta was inducted into the Raleigh Hall of Fame stating "Reverend Latta's history and legacy continues to inspire children from all backgrounds through programming by the City of Raleigh and the Latta House Foundation." <br /> <br /> CONDITION REPORT<br /> <br /> VERY GOOD - ex-library. Library numbering stamp on spine stamp on bottom of introduction page and rear pastedown with the library card and pocket for Hartford Public Library in Connecticut. <br /> <br /> The book was donated to the library by Henry J.

34946At head of title: On Monday April the 8th 1861 and during the week the performances will commence with a New Drama in 4 acts by Mr. G. Conquest partly founded on a tale by Pierce Egan Esq. entitled . Whitechapel : Pownceby Steam Printer 43 Leman St. 1861. Double-page playbill 340 x 430 mm; lithograph printed on thin paper; original central fold in very good condition. A rare large-format playbill produced for the opening night of Forget & forgive ; or Love me leave me not at the Royal Grecian Theatre formerly the Eagle Tavern in London's Shoreditch in April 1861. The theatre's proprietor Benjamin Conquest 1803-1872 also managed the Garrick Theatre in nearby Leman Street - where the present playbill happens to have been printed by Henry Pownceby. George Conquest Benjamin's son not only wrote this play; he also produced directed and starred in it. This would have been one of the first of around 100 productions that the father-and-son team staged during the 1860s and early 1870s. The first act of this three-act melodrama is set in the 'Crags and mountain tops of Australia'. The characters listed on the playbill are Dick Stoney an escaped convict played by Mr Alfred Rayner; Nut Gull an 'anythingarian and lover of money' Mr George Conquest; Francis Fairland 'a wealthy trader' Mr Holland; Henry Moreland 'a settler in Australia' Mr William James; and Adele 'a wild girl and half Native wife of Henry Moreland' Mrs Charles Dillon. The final part of this opening act is described thus: 'A Dell near the Sea! The Hut and Home of Adele The Wild Girl of Australia . the Loving Wife . Love me leave me not! The Flight . the Shot.' The action then moves to England where the final two acts take place and the paths of Dick Stoney Nut Gull Henry Moreland and Adele all cross once again. The performance of Forget & forgive was followed by a burlesque - also written by Conquest - entitled Guy Faux! and a single-act play Ostler's Vision penned by local actor Alfred Rayner. A musical concert with free admission held in the Assembly Room concluded the evening's entertainment. Trove locates a single example of this playbill in Australian collections SLNSW unknown

06523London: Sherwood Jones and Co. 1825. A Library of the English Stage in Four Volumes - A Regency Theater in Miniature<br /> The London Stage - From Garrick to Sheridan Printed from Acting Copies<br /> <br /> LONDON STAGE. The London Stage; A collection of the most reputed tragedies comedies operas melo-dramas farces and interludes. Accurately printed from acting copies as performed at the Theatres Royal and carefully collated and revised. London: Sherwood Jones and Co. 1825-27.<br /> <br /> First edition. Four octavo volumes 8 1/2 x 5 3/8 inches; 216 x 137 mm. Each volume with title-page printed in black and pale blue a multi-portrait engraved frontispiece and an early manuscript "index" leaf. Profusely illustrated throughout each play with a woodcut vignette by Byfield Dodd Williamson and others. <br /> <br /> Six of the woodcuts are by George Cruikshank viz. "Dragon of Wantley" "Tom Thumb" and "The Lord of the Manor" in the second volume and "Monsieur Tonson" "Crononhotonthologos" and "The Recruiting Sergeant" in the third volume. That to the "Lord of the Manor" is the only one signed but I have them all signed by the artist in ink." Cohn #507 p. 150. <br /> <br /> In the present copy the woodcuts by George Cruikshank are in volume IV.<br /> <br /> Bound ca. 1825 in full dark blue diced calf. Covers bordered in gilt spines with five shallow raised bands decoratively tooled and lettered in gilt in compartments marbled endpapers. Each volume with the ink name "Fiske" on a front blank leaf volume one with a neat ink inscription "Jane Martha Hicks Beach/August 7th 1827". Some rubbing to joints but still a sound and attractive contemporary set. Housed in an early blue cloth slipcase.<br /> <br /> Each volume with the armorial bookplate of the Dyne family on the front paste-down depicting three goats and a bird on a fess with a crest of a bearded figure in a checkered cap and the motto "Terrere nolo timere nescio" "I do not wish to terrify; I do not know how to fear".<br /> <br /> A substantial and highly engaging anthology of the English stage at the close of the Regency period The London Stage gathers together a remarkably broad dramatic canon drawn "from acting copies" as performed at the Theatres Royal. The importance of this claim cannot be overstated: these texts reflect theatrical practice-cuts adaptations and stage-ready dialogue - rather than purely literary versions offering a rare and practical insight into early nineteenth-century performance culture.<br /> <br /> The collection encompasses works by many of the principal dramatists of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries including William Congreve George Farquhar John Gay Henry Fielding Oliver Goldsmith Richard Brinsley Sheridan and Samuel Foote alongside important theatrical figures such as David Garrick and John Philip Kemble. The range extends from Restoration comedy through sentimental drama and ballad opera to late Georgian melodrama with additional contributions by Susanna Centlivre Hannah Cowley Thomas Holcroft Matthew Gregory Lewis and Elizabeth Inchbald among many others. In effect the work functions as a compact theatrical library bringing together over a century of dramatic literature as it lived in performance rather than on the printed page.<br /> <br /> The inclusion of multi-portrait frontispieces further situates the work within the living theater of its day celebrating the actors and personalities who defined the London stage. The manuscript index leaves - clearly the work of an early owner - suggest active consultation and practical use perhaps by a reader engaged in recitation amateur theatricals or dramatic study.<br /> <br /> Sets preserved in contemporary diced calf are increasingly scarce particularly when retaining their original structure and accompanied by early provenance. The Dyne armorial bookplates lend the present set an added note of distinction and continuity enhancing both its aesthetic appeal and historical resonance. <br /> <br /> A handsome and evocative survival-at once a working theatrical compendium and a remarkably complete snapshot of the English stage in its Regency prime.<br /> <br /> Cohn 507.
