191166101Nashville: Orion 1911. Fourth version. Hardcover. Very Good. 193p. 19cm. Attractive modern quarterbinding with marbled boards. Text has some wear and a few brown spots. No Jacket. Rev. Griggs was the author of a number of books and is best known for the five novels he wrote and self-published between 1899 and 1908. This is a non-fiction item about racial issues which was apparently first published in 1909 in 2 versions of 116 and 134 pages a third version in 1910 of 145 pages and 2 further versions in 1911 of 193 and 259 pages. This makes this a copy the 4th version or edition. We owe this information to John Gruesser a professor of English at Kean University who inquired about the contents of another copy and was kind enough not to mention our previous misidentification of the edition. The 5th version added a final section with a separate title-page "Beyond the End" and table of contents but does not appear to have revised any of the material in the first 193 pages. <br/><br/> Orion hardcover books

No Jacket. In this Third and final edition Griggs added an essay on "The Leopard Spots" an infamously racist novel by Thomas Dixon. In the earlier editions Dixon's book is discussed in less detail by two characters in the novel. All editions of this early African American novel are rather scarce. <br/><br/> Orion hardcover books
191775400Memphis: National Public Welfare League 1917. Paperback. Good. index 170p. Original wrapper. 18cm. Cover chipping and wear. A couple of inkblots inside back cover. Moderate browning. A little dog-earing. Contains an Introduction and nine chapters. One of Rev. Griggs' many self-help volumes and his third book with "According to Law" in the title. This book is probably an expanded version of an identically titled self-help book published in 1916 which contained 122p. Griggs also published in 1916 a even shorter work of 103p. which was titled "According to Law." A comparison with "According to Law" in stock when this item was catalogued showed that almost all of the material in the earlier work appears in this differently-titled 1917 edition as well as much that was not found in the earlier work. <br/><br/> National Public Welfare League paperback books
