MACLEISH, ARCHIBALD ADDRESS BY ARCHIBALD MACLEISH BEFORE THE AMERICAN LIBRARY ASSOCIATION
1942 MACLEISH, Archibald. ADDRESS BY ARCHIBALD MACLEISH BEFORE THE AMERICAN LIBRARY ASSOCIATION. Milwaukee, June 26, 1942. Nine pages, typed, stapled. The address first risks upsetting his audience by hotly criticizing intellectuals for their isolationism at the onset of WWII. Macleish, then, somewhat more congenially, traces the roots of fascism to the coordinated anti-intellectual provocations of an alienated populace, whether this be abroad or at home. Citing the press's neglect of an attempt made by the 1942 Spring session of the House of Representatives to cut acquisitions funding for the Library of Congress, Macleish states, "It was not news that the leader of the attack had unconsciously revealed a fear of books, a fear of letting information reach the people, a fear of scholarship and learning." Interesting both as a literary and historical document, this scarce item still resonates in this election year. Folded once, the condition is very good. 2

BURGESS, GELETT FINE WORK MARRED
1947 MS BURGESS, Gelett. A FINE WORK MARRED. [N.P.: N.P., c. 1947]. Manuscript, 7 typewritten sheets, plus an earlier version of page 1, with holograph corrections in ink. This is an unpublished review of "Shakespeare's Use of the Arts of Language" by Sister Miriam Joseph, part of the review being used by Burgess to advance the Shakespeare-Oxford theory. The 7pp. manuscript has relatively trivial corrections, while the additional page 1 would appear to be the first or second draft, with many changes in wording. Also, on the verso of this page, Burgess has typed a letter to an "Abe," quoting in full a letter of Sigmund Freud to a Mr. Looney. Burgess' letter warns that he has not yet received permission to print Freud's letter. Together with the manuscript is a carbon copy of the same review. The pages bear the mark of a paper clip in the upper left corner and are slightly chipped at the lower right edge. The early draft of page 1 is somewhat more worn, with a few small nicks at the top and bottom edge. 2
