18482532Brimfield MA 1848. Columbian Writing Book #7 Designed for Use in Schools. Blue stitched paper wraps with flag and manicule motifs to front cover and general directions for proper handwriting on rear cover. Completely filled and comprised of 20 densely written manuscript pages in ink and pencil created by Ada N. Kenney of Brimfield Mass who leaves her ownership information in pencil on the front wrap. A lovely and fascinating historical document tracing both the method by which a young woman developed her hand as well as how such lessons served the additional purpose of indoctrinating her into socially-appropriate femininity.<br/><br/>Ada Kenney's copybook contains a neat and precise hand throughout which suggests that she was educated and belonged to the rising middle class. Meticulous and organized Ada breaks her book into two clear sections. The first 9 pages contain precisely copied and repeated sentences such as "Assiduity in labor produces fame and fortune" "Cherish sentiments of charity towards all men" "Discretion of speech is superior to eloquence" and "Immodest words are in all cases indefensible." As the lines get repeated 19 times each in the alphabetical order dictated by the first word it is clear that Ada is being trained in an elegant cursive. Yet the content of the lines and their repetition also serve as lessons to her about the value of female silence virtue and chastity. By the second half of the book Ada commits another 9 pages to carefully copying out poetry; and here her choices push up against the demure repetitions of the previous pages. "Long Fanny Gray" "The Troubedour" Gaily the Troubadour Touched his Guitar and "Highland Mary" are each ballads of romance and flirtation love and loss. These selections suggest a burgeoning interest in courtship and men as well as women's expressions of desire and jealousy. By the final 2 pages Ada shifts into much less organized quotations jotting down random lines of poetry in French and English alongside several names of friends and relatives. <br/><br/>A fascinating and valuable historical document with research potential including but not limited to paleography education theory and practice gender studies literature and poetry and the transmission of folk tales and folk music. unknown books

"Even though the fighting forces of the United States have overcome the military might of Italy Germany and Japan we have not been equally successful in defeating fhe Fascist threat here at home.

Hoke concerned that proceedings against alleged WWII American fascists were being stymied or kept secret decided to write this book to serve as a final report which woujld attempt to tell the whole truth. "I will not violate any of the legal rules of secrecy surrounding Grand Jury proceedings. But I insist that it is permissible to give all the names of all the people who appeared before the various Grand Juries investigating WWII-era sedition and to give too the background of the witnewsses known from long and close study. I describe what has happened to some of the witnesses who appeared before the Federal Grand Jury what they are doing now and whhat their announced plans are for the future. All of this put together should give a pattern of what the Fascists expect to do and why we should be on watch against them." - Introduction.

1932347j0317London: BUF - British Union of Fascists. Good with no dust jacket. 1932. Reprint. Hardcover. "The object of this book is to prove by analysis of the present situation and by constructive policy that the necessity for a fundamental change exists. Our political system dates substantially from 1832. The intervening century has seen the invention and development of telegraph telephone and wireless. Wise laws and wise institutions are those which harness without restricting; which allow human activity full play but guide it into channels which serve the nation's ends. Hence the need for a New Movement not only in politics but in the whole of our national life. The movement is Fascist i because it is based on a high conception of citizenship and ii because it recognises the necessity for an authoritative state." - Introduction. "Sir Oswald Ernald Mosley 6th Baronet 1896-1980 was a British politician during the 1920s and 1930s who rose to fame when having become disillusioned with mainstream politics he turned to fascism. He was a member of parliament and later founded and led the British Union of Fascists." - Wikipedia. viii 2 11-160 pp. Second printing of the 1932 first edition.

1961356j1297New York: Grove Press Inc. Good in Good dust jacket. 1961. First U.S. Edition. Hardcover. "In May 1945 an American officer in Germany confiscated the manuscript of an unpublished book ascribed to Adolf Hitler and sent it to the U.S. The book had been dictated in the summer of 1928 then placed in a safe at the Nazi party central publishing house. In the summer of 1958 it was identified beyond any question as a second book by Hitler devoted entirely to foreign policy. Nowhere else did Hitler set forth his foreign policy so frankly and fully. What emerges is an elaborate rationalization for a war policy on Germany's part and an intensive sketch of an alliance policy in preparation for war. Closes with an exposition of 'the Jewish Question' as Hitler saw it including his claim that the Jews by 'bloody Bolshevization' 'promiscuous bastardization' and 'economic conquest' would try to 'destroy the intellectual upper classes' and emerge as 'the master of a mankind become leaderless." - dust jacket. xxvi 230 pages.
