1905128821905. New York: The Macmillan Company 1905. 3 pp undated ads. Original maroon cloth. First Edition which consisted of only 2530 copies -- fewer copies than any known printing of all earlier Jack London books except his first book THE SON OF THE WOLF 2028 copies. By contrast THE CALL OF THE WILD consisted of 71584 copies and THE SEA-WOLF consisted of 63337 copies. The book consists of seven essays on socialism. Much of the content derived from London's earlier trip to Europe after hanging around the London slums London had sallied off to Paris and Rome where he hobnobbed with the socialists in each city. To quote from London's preface: It is the hope of the writer that the socialistic studies in this volume may in some slight degree enlighten a few capitalistic minds. The capitalist must learn first and for always that socialism is based not upon the equality but upon the inequality of men. This is a near-fine copy slightly faded on the spine as usual but otherwise just a little rubbing at the very tips. Quite an uncommon London title.

1911146811911. trading in the Solomons One page on "Harbor Rest" stationery dated by ink-stamp July 9 1911. With London's name and address "Glen Ellen Calif." in holograph plus his signature at the end of the letter. The text of this letter we apologize for repeating Jack's language! is: Dear sir:- In reply to yours of recent date. Please don't forget that if tobacco was dreadfully wanted was rarely brought was quickly used and gone etc. that not only pennies but sovereigns and any and all other purchasing mediums would be sedulously accumulated against the day when more tobacco was purchasable. You speak of logic. Nevertheless logically when you grant the cheapness of sovereigns compared with pennies during the course of the first trading then you must grant that in the course of the second trading between the coast niggers and the interior tribes the same ratio will obtain. The interior tribes will hold on to the pennies and dispose of the sovereigns just as the coast niggers did with the white men in the first instance. There are several more ways of looking at it but I shall not burden you. Thank you for your good letter. I love to receive criticisms -- especially when I think I can get back at the other fellow! Sincerely yours signed Jack London Jack wrote this letter during the time in 1911 when he and Charmian were moored in Humboldt Bay on the "Harbor Rest" the house-boat belonging to the former mayor of Eureka H.L. Ricks. They would leave Humboldt Bay four days after Jack wrote this letter heading for Hoopa and the Klamath River ultimately north to Crescent City. There is a great photo at the Huntington of Jack and Charmian posing on board the "Harbor Rest" complete with the boat's name-plate. The recipient was a Boston doctor whose office was on Tremont Row there. We do not know exactly what Dr. Brittain wrote Jack about but it was most likely a "criticism" he had after reading Jack's new book that had just come out the preceding month THE CRUISE OF THE SNARK. This book was the account of Jack and Charmian's voyage aboard their boat The Snark begun in 1907 and planned to last seven years around the world -- but Jack's medical and financial problems cut it short in 1909 after cruising to Hawaii the Solomon Islands Fiji Tahiti and winding up in a hospital in Sydney. Specifically in that book Jack wrote about using the tobacco they had brought to barter for goods on some of the islands see page 289 for an example in the Solomons. Jack's use of "the n-word" was unfortunately not unusual at the time and was especially used by explorers of the South Pacific and of Australia. Our favorite line of the letter is the final one -- revealing Jack's irritation that some doctor in Boston considers himself able to criticize something he knows little about. Like this letter the majority of Jack London's letters were typed. The letter is in very good condition -- with faint evidence at the edges of it having being mounted and with a 1.5-inch tear along an original fold right between "Jack" and "London. unknown books
4102To "Comrade Tuck" London references his writings commenting on the fact that he hadn't lectured in a while and suggesting he organize a talk around his answer to Kipling's attack on Socialism. In part "Do you remember Kipling's attack in parable upon Socialism The Bee-Hive parable. I have written a reply to it in the form of a parable. It has been refused by practically every magazine. soon to be published by HAMPTON'S MAGAZINE. entitled THE STRENGTH OF THE STRONG." "The Strength of the Strong" was published in "Hampton's Magazine" Volume 26 March 1911 and later published in book form by Macmillan in 1914. Kipling's attack on socialism in the form of a political parable about bees was first published in "Collier's Weekly" in the United Stated on November 281908 under the title "The Mother Hive" and in the United Kingdom as the "Adventures of Melissa" for "Windsor Magazine" December 1908. In his parable Kipling argued for the need to recognize socialism as an attack against the future of the British Empire and defend against such false progressive ideas. Slightly faded with margin tear to one fold at top not affecting text and two small holes at intersection of vertical and horizontal folds slightly affecting one word. Jack London was a socialist and member of the radical literary group ‘The Crowd' in San Francisco supporting worker's rights and unionization. He became a socialist in 1894 and wove his political perspective into his writings and lectures. Our letter to H.C. Tuck gives evidence to London's political orientation. Referred to here as "Comrade Tuck" Tuck was a socialist leader editor and State Secretary of the Socialist Party of California. In 1910-11 Tuck was arrested for libel having printed some apparently libelous material in various newspaper articles. In 1910 the year he wrote our letter to Tuck London's "Burning Daylight" as well as "Revolution and Other Essays" "Lost Face" and "Theft: A Play in Four Acts" were all published. That same year saw the birth of his daughter and her untimely death just 36 hours later. It was also in 1910 that London purchased the Kohler & Frohling ranch. I. unknown books
