1870304527Chicago: Evening Journal Print No. 46 Dearborn Street 1870. First edition possibly a later state. 73 3 pp. 1 vols. 8vo. Original blue morocco title blocked in gilt on upper cover leafy roll border to boards marbled endsheets. Some rubbing. First edition possibly a later state. 73 3 pp. 1 vols. 8vo. Rare Work on Treating Opium Addiction. First edition of this work on opium addiction in the U.S. concerning the discovery of a patent cure of Opium addiction by Samuel B. Collins and his correspondence with Fitz Hugh Ludlow editor of the Easy Chair column in Harper's and an acknowledged opium addict. Ludlow had published several chapters in The Opium Habit with Suggestions as to the Remedy 1868. Collins titles the first section An Answer to "What Shall They Do To Be Saved".<br/><br/>The work shows signs of being hastily printed referring to letters dated June 1870 and the Harper's column for August 1870. The last few pages are set in a smaller font but forming part of the last gathering and record a dispute with Henry Read over the marketing of Collins' cure and pledges of testimonials to be published in the Easy Chair that were never honored because of Ludlow's death; the last page bears memorial bands across top and bottom and begins: "A letter conveying the mournful tidings of the death of Fitz Hugh Ludlow was received by Dr. Collins ."; the elegy concludes ". for He has found the Fountain of Eternal Youth Fitz Hugh Ludlow can never grow old." Ludlow died in Switzerland on 12 September 1870.<br/><br/>Scarce institutionally and in the trade. Only the copy recorded at the Toner Collection Library of Congress shelfmark RC371.O6 C7 1870a has pagination similar to this copy. It appears to have been regularly reprinted: a sixth edition is noted with date 1871 Library Company of Philadelphia. A copy digitized at the National Library of Medicine http://resource.nlm.nih.gov/66640200R bears the date 1870 on the title page but the pagination is different and the book manifestly printed later blurred type in the imprint and the text on page 69 referring to a letter dated 26 January 1871; the digitized copy from the Library of Congress has a date of 1870 on the title but a preliminary page bears an accession stamp dated 1881; this would appear to be the copy cited by Cordasco 109 pp. Cordasco 70-021 Evening Journal Print, No. 46 Dearborn Street unknown books

192546404415Paris, Éditions du Monde Moderne, 1925 ; in-12, broché. 141 pp., 1 f.Introduction d’Albert de Pouvourville : “... il me faut me laver d’un reproche que vont me faire, très haut et très officiellement les Sociétés de tempérance qui exercent un contrôle sévère sur la vertu des contemporains, contrôle qui absout naturellement chacun de leurs membres des atteintes individuelles que, contre ladite vertu, ils ne manquent sans doute pas de commettre en leur privé. Mon ami chinois (l’auteur du livre) qui a la chance extraordinaire de vivre auprès du Jardin des Supplices, dans la récente République aux sept couleurs, ignorera toujours l’excommunication majeure des Sociétés en question, et de la S. D. N. qui en est le chef de file. El la connût-il, il ne ferait qu’en sourire, de ce sourire que mettent aux lèvres humaines cinq mille années de civilisation. Mais moi, citoyen de l’Europe infortunée, j’ai, de ces juges improvisés, une frayeur intense et justifiée. Car je sais leur austère intransigeance : je sais que, par eux, la libre et sèche Amérique, qui pratique le mariage en avion et le divorce au téléphone, a pudiquement réformé la Bible et déclaré que le Lord n’a jamais créé la vigne et que le patriarche Noé n’a jamais bu. (...) Nguyen-Te-Duc-Luat est médecin (...) Il est en outre Tongsang du rite Taoïste, ce qui équivaudrait chez nous à être docteur en théologie et superdocteur en philosophie. C’est un Sage. Son souverain qui honore les lettres, lui a jadis offert un poste de gouverneur. Il a refusé.” Pouvourville précise encore que l’auteur a eu 22 enfants et qu’il fume quotidiennement 30 pipes d’opium depuis le jour de sa puberté. Il a actuellement 74 ans. Le livre du docteur Nguyen est un manuel du fumeur d’opium : examen préparatoire, mécanisme et manipulation, art du fumeur, effets psychiques, théorie psychologique. Conclusion : “Les blancs, pour échapper à la tentation de la fée noire, n’ont qu’à rester paisiblement chez eux.”Un des 200 exemplaires sur beau papier.
