American Lit 1000Hay, John, 1838-1905. The Bread-winners: a Social Study. New York: Harper and Brothers, 1884, 319p. Covers somewhat darkened, wear to edges, gift inscription from 1884 on title page, bookplate of collector on front lining paper. Good condition overall. The author was Lincoln's personal secretary and had a distinguished career in the public sector. This, his fourth book, and only novel, was written anonymously. It was first published in installments in The Century Magazine. It takes a decidedly anti-labor stance, apparently a reaction to bitter strikes that had plagued his various business interests in the 1870s and early 1880s. Hay never acknowledged writing the book, but he was widely suspected of being the author. It was only after his death that the true authorship of the book became common knowledge. BAL 7762.

Americana fvcp Fisher, Vardis. The Caxton Printers in Idaho. A Short History. Cincinnati, Ohio: Society of Bibliosophers, 1944, viii, 32 pages. First edition. The gilt lettering on spine is pretty much worn off but a good plus to very good copy of the book. (Small point: on the verso of the title page there is a small sticker that states: Copyright, 1945 by Lloyd Emerson Siberell, Cincinnati, Ohio). Lloyd Emerson Siberell, born in Kingston, Ohio, was an official of the Norfolk and Western Railroad, but his main interest in life was books and bibiography. He used to refer to himself as a railroad man by vocation and a literary man by avocation. Above all, he was an enthusiastic collector of Powysiana, which had preeminence over the rest of his activities, for he strongly believed that the Powys, and John Cowper especially, would be one day recognised as the great writers they were. $22.50 Box 10

New York: The Spiral Press, 1929, xi, 94 pages. This is number 448 of 535 numbered copies. The book is in overall good condition but with the following detractions: the cover, cloth spine paper over boards, is bumped at the corners exposing boards; spine is little dusty, paper label is OK; the paper on the bottom edges of the cover are worn away in part; the front lining paper has a light yellowish stain, maybe where a bookplate was; on the front free endpaperare three or four small stains. Else good as noted. $21.50 Box A 126Michael Wigglesworth (1631–1705) was a Puritan minister, physician, and poet whose poem The Day of Doom was a bestseller in early New England. Sort of appropriate that the work was published in 1929, the financial day of doom.
