London: W.Richardson for G.Kearsly, 1783. A new impression with considerable additions. "Safe from the Bar, the Pulpit and the Throne, - Yet touch'd and mov'd by Riducule alone." Satirical advice for all ranks. The Commander in Chief - Take care of your own sacred person, and never expose it to any dangers. When any service of danger is to be performed, you should send your second in command. If he succeeds in the business be sure to take all the merit of it to yourself. To the Corporal - It is your officr to post the sentinels, and to see that they are properly relieved; and a disagreeable office it is in a dark, cold, and stormy night. You may therefore in bad weather save yourself that trouble, and send the relief by themselves. This will be a means of teaching them how to perform their duty, when corporals, and surely they must be very unfit for sentinels, if they cannot be trusted alone. New binding with cloth spine and marbled boards. 118pp.. Marbled Boards, Cloth Spine. Very Good. 175x110mm.

Trumansburg, NY: Out of Step Press. Fine with no dust jacket. 2016. Numbered Edition; First Printing. Pamphlet. The author's non-linear poem about the billeting of soldiers in civilian homes in wartime. Copy 89 of a limited edition of 250. Folded into the form of a letter, the work was letterpress printed in wraps of handmade "combat paper" made from military uniforms. The author says: "Some time ago-maybe a year, maybe two? I had a conversation with some of my Combat Paper brothers (well, the kids call them their combat paper uncles, so it follows
) that led to me writing the poem "Quartering." Which was informed by them, of course, and by all the rooms I'm in, and by imagining what is really required of all the caregivers I love. It's a thought experiment: if we tore down the barracks at military hospitals and offered incentives for Americans in the surrounding neighborhoods to quarter injured service members, what would the honest instructions…
