1855List3242Newport Rhode Island: N.p. 1855. Broadside measuring 21 ¾ x 10 inches folded with some damage to edges with two holes in the center intersecting with text. Very good to excellent. A HAP-HAZARD SONG was written around 1855 by an author using the pseudonym “Miss Terious Devil-up-mentsâ€. It concerns the legal cases of Ives vs. Hazard and Ives vs. Armstrong which involved a dispute over the sale of a farm belonging to Charles T. Hazard a less well-off cousin in the prominent Hazard family. Hazard assisted by his better-known cousin Thomas R. Hazard wanted to back out of the sale of his farm to wealthy Providence merchant Robert H. Ives claiming that his wife had not agreed to it. In 1855 the court decided against Hazard. The broadside mocks the Hazards’ efforts; it opens by telling the story of an “insane jackass†later “Assard†i.e. Hazard who is stung to death by bees and has its hide used to bind Thomas Hazard’s 1857 book concerning the case An Appeal to the People of the State of Rhode Island in Behalf of the Constitution and Laws. It then launches into a parodical song which seems to allege that it was Thomas Hazard not Mrs. Charles Hazard who wanted to keep the farm and that Hazard’s book accused Ives of greed when it was really the Hazards who were greedy; and mocks the opposition to farmland being sold off to the wealthy merchant class:<br /> <br /> “Then they made tremendous speeches / All about ‘the rights of man’ / Which literally translated means / ‘Each one get all you can!’â€<br /> <br /> The chorus which is “to be sung ironically†reads:<br /> <br /> “Ho! Yeomen of Rhode Island / Wherever you may stand / The farms belong to all of us / It is our Native Land.â€<br /> <br /> We find nine copies of A HAP-HAZARD SONG on OCLC. N.p. unknown

One of twenty-three books selected for inclusion on the "Forbidden Bookshelf". 968 pages. Footnotes. Index. Black and white photographic plates. "Prentice-Hall drastically slashed its print run and advertising budget, despite the book's having met its advance sales target and won wide acceptance in reviews across the country. The almost immediate (and reportedly unprecedented) cancellation by BOMC (Book of the Month Club) of a book under such circumstances would have a chilling impact on most publishers, and Prentice-Hall was no exception. They allowed the book to go out of stock while demand for it remained high, and ultimately let it go out of print altogether." - Foreword. The above was discovered only after the author took Du Pont and Prentice-Hall to federal court. "I have tried, with admittedly humble resources, to explain what the Du Ponts and their extraordinary history mean for American society, its past and its future." - Foreword. Book clean and unmarked with average wear. Binding intact. Dust jacket not included. A sound copy of this important work. Book
