Best known on campus as the editor of Songs of the Hill Winds a book of Dartmouth verse he also wrote plays histories of Americas military academies and a fake 1784 cookbookall in his spare time. By day Banning edited several well-read magazines including Popular Radio Judge Cosmopolitan when it ran serious pieces of journalism and Snappy Stories a pulp mag for men. Danielle Sigler 96 a curator at the Harry Ransom Center at the University of Texas at Austin recently rediscovered one of Bannings more interesting works Censored Mother Goose Rhymes a 1929 self-published collection of the well-known nursery rhymes. The slim volume packs a powerfuland amusingpunch with its anti-censorship message. Banning placed black bars over certain words in the rhymes leaving much to the readers imagination and humorously demonstrating how censors have taught us how to read naughty meanings into harmless words as he wrote in his dedication. Banning understood the uses of censorship. In 1926 hed written The Military Censorship of Pictures a volume that documented the crucial censorship of WW I photos. Conversely he complained in his class 1927 annual report that as an editor he waged almost constant warfare with professional reformers censors prohibitionists fundamentalists and other groups of busybodies who seek to enforce their own particular brand of idiosyncrasy or doctrine upon the rest of us mortals in general and upon editors and publishers in particularpresumably on the assumption that the press being influential in molding public opinion should be muzzled and forced to conform to the pet theories of the particular group that starts the trouble. Most bothersome to Banning was a campaign to have Snappy Stories banned in Massachusetts. It may interest members of our class to know that the Boston fight started when we refused to recognize the mandate of the Watch and Ward Society to keep out of New England an issue of Snappy Stories that contained an excellent short tale by our classmate Charlie Goddard he wrote. Bannings Mother Goose became a curiosity in the history of censorship because he sent it to Congress in 1929 as part of a lobbying effort against an anti-smut provision in the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act. These rhymes have given pleasure to generations Banning wrote on the books last page and this version makes a new claim as amusing nonsense. But even more important than jingle or nonsense is the clear demonstration made here of the effect of censorship upon anything it touches. Although history is silent as to Mother Gooses impact on the legislation the tariff bill passed in 1930 with an amended censorship provision that wasnt nearly as strident as what bill sponsor Sen. Reed Smoot had wanted. 1722RO090. Signed by Authors. 1st Edition. Hardcover. Good/No Jacket. Kendall Banning, The Cheltenham Press hardcover

Potter dated Apr 17 1895. A rare Ohio/American medical imprint five OCLC library holdings for this second edition; none for the first edition. Full leather gilt spine lettering 8 3/4 x 6 inches 500 pp. index two small illustrations. Good plus or very good minus. Dr. Potter assisted the escape of a fugitive slave to Canada: "Perhaps the most notable incident in the extended and eventful life of Dr. POTTER was the rescue of a fugitive slave named Jerry in Syracuse New York about 1852. It occurred soon after the fugitive slave law was passed and on the occasion of holding a national anti-slavery convention at that place. Daniel WEBSTER had recently delivered a speech to an immense concourse there threatening that "when this convention thronged the city a noted fugitive would be arrested and taken back to slavery. The United States Government would teach the people that there was potency in law." Four United States marshals had been detailed from as many adjacent cities and the whole police force of Syracuse were ready. Jerry was arrested and placed in chains. About thirty thousand people were waiting to witness the scene. The man with blue eyes red cheeks and brown curly hair with no other semblance of a negro was taken away from the officers by the mob and finally placed by Dr. POTTER in the grounds of a residence inhabited by a stiff pro-slavery man where the most active search failed to find him. After the lapse of a week and search having been made from house to house when detection was imminent the doctor arranged with Jerry's host to drive in with a meat wagon got Jerry in and covered with blankets he drove before the door of the Syracuse House hitched went in with the doctor took cigars and drove out through the city about 4 P.M. in beautiful sunshine no one suspecting the presence of Jerry. After reaching Brewerton seventeen miles; Dr. POTTER took Jerry in his carriage sending the team back and conveyed the fugitive to Mexicoville and by the underground railroad to a small harbor on Lake Ontario whence he obtained a passage on a small sailing vessel to Canada. No more noted fugitive slave case ever occurred in the United States and in it the doctor was the principal agent of success." 3214027. Signed by Authors. 2nd Edition. Hardcover. Good.
