192014043Kansas City: Burton Publishing Co 1920. First Edition. Small octavo 19cm. Cloth boards lettered in red and black; 184pp. Presentation copy warmly inscribed on front endpaper to UMWA President John L. Lewis: "To John L. Lewis Esq / I am with you heart and soul in any honest effort to better the condition of the heroic hardies who work under ground / R.D. Kathrens" dated 1920. Light wear and soil to boards; presentation leaf has been tipped-on to a stub; a few marginal marks in text possibly in Lewis's hand; Very Good. Publishes a series of letters from the author to Charles Schwab who at this time was President of Bethlehem Steel seeking Schwab's support in implementing a sort of "maximum wage" scheme in the United States. Kathrens's letters grow increasingly indignant as Schwab steadfastly ignores his requests for the courtesy of a reply: ".it is hardly consistent with the civilities--as we understand them west of the Alleghenies--to shoo me away or send me to the back door or require me to deal with the servants." Kathrens professes his own sanity and good judgment frequently enough that our sympathies fall firmly on the side of Mr. Schwab. Includes a full reprint of Kathrens' earlier effort The Menace of the Millionaire and reprints other letters to and from Samuel Untermeyer and George W. Perkins. Burton Publishing Co unknown books

1785WRCLIT72914Dublin: Printed for Luke White 1785. 2ii200;24pp. plus errata slip affixed to title verso. Octavo. Extracted from nonce pamphlet volume. Modest tanning at edges and some dusting to title and terminal leaf two old stamps of a defunct mercantile library; a good copy. First Dublin edition this being ESTC's normal state of the title with '86' and 'His'. The concluding 24pp. are separately signed and paginated printing "A Bill for Effectuating the Intercourse and Commerce between Great Britain and Ireland ." ESTC suggests that the various London "editions" are likely related to the same setting as this printing. Woodfall "is said to have visited Dublin by invitation in 1784 to report the debates on the 'commercial propositions' Nichols Lit. Anecd. i. 303. His reporting was an effort of memory; he listened to a speech and then committed to paper a remarkably accurate version of it. His fame had preceded him and crowds followed him in the streets of Dublin because he was supposed to be 'endowed with supernatural powers.' Nichols records that Woodfall's report was printed and prepared for sale as a pamphlet and that 'not more than three copies were ever called for" - DNB. The last observation perhaps explains the efforts to market sheets under the London imprints although the extraordinary abundance of copies reported in OCLC suggests some measure of circulation occurred.

169616674London 1696. First edition. 1 vols. Sm 4to. Disbound chipping and losses from removed stitching margins closely trimmed and cropped with text loss on the first eight pages the loss is generally a letter or part of a word so that the content is understandable thereafter a line of text is missing on each page as well as the letters or parts of words trimmed from the margins these losses do not seem to greatly affect comprehension of Killigrew's plan two overlay slips to correct text on page 4 and another on page 8 some soiling. First edition. 1 vols. Sm 4to. This is Killigrew's proposal for allaying the national debt by a system of bonds and paper specie. He had presented a similar proposal in the early reign of William and Mary and apparently revives it here with additions and answers to some of his critics. Kress and the DNB give 1663 as the date of publication but he makes references to "the reign of Charles II" and in the "Clause" the notation "To carry on the War the year 97" appears. Killigrew died in October 1695. Following this pamphlet is a single leaf entitled "To the Honourable the Knights Citizens and Burgesses in Parliament Assembled The Humble Petition of Percivall Brunskell Gent." Kress 1111 giving the date of 1663 as does the DNB; Wing K.466 giving the date of 1696 unknown books
