[BOOK PROSPECTUS. Barclay, Erastus Elmer]. Dark and Terrible Deeds of George Lathrop who, after Passing through the Various Degrees of Crime, was Finally Convicted and Hung in New Orleans, June 5, 1848 for the Robbery and Murder of his Father...
Broadside, 11 3/4 x 9 5/8 inches with gruesome illustration of a beating, measuring 3 3/4 x 7 1/8(irregular) [Cincinatti (see note): Erastus Elmer Barclay,1848]. Wright I (Revised) 823a and 823b for the published book. Tanselle, "Guide to the Study of American Imprints", GB1102 (p. 427) for E. E. Barclay & Company as a publisher Note: The book itself (in 11 pp. )is in Jumonville (1644), as it has a New Orleans imprint, with the publisher being W. Stuart, the supposed clergyman who took down the felon's last words and accompanied him to his scaffold; the copyright on the book was entered in the District Circuit Court of Ohio. Thomas McDade in his article in the "Pennsylvania Magazine of History and Biography", Vol. LXXX, pp. 452-464 proves quite conclusively that Barclay (who was often the author, as well as the publisher of many fictitious criminal accounts) was known to have used many spurious places of publication, usually choosing a location near where the purported crime occurred. He gives the following places of residence for Barclay: New York (1841–1846); Cincinnati (1846-1849); Philadelphia (1849–1856); Cincinnati (1856-1858); and lastly Philadelphia from 1858 until his death in 1888. The spurious imprints that Barclay used over the years are: Richmond, Charleston, St. Louis, and in this (and at least one other) case, New Orleans. He sold his pamphlets through hired salesmen each of whom had an exclusive territory. The salesman would leave a prospectus at a house, then return to either gather up the prospectus or take an order for the current pamphlet. These were usually under 38 actual pages with extremely erratic numbering, most beginning on p. 19! Barclay preceded Beadle, who started publishing in 1859/60 by many years and probably was largely responsible for the genre of popular lurid literature AMERICAN LITERATURE MURDER

[BOOK PROSPECTUS]. G. W. Carleton & Co. Three Valuable Books/Capital New Books/Attractive New Books
Single sheet of bright yellow paper, printed on both sides 9 1/2 x 6 1/4 inches. One side advertises "Three Valuable Books, All Beautifully Printed and Elegantly Bound." These are: "The Art of Conversation"; "The Habits of Good Society"; and "The Art of Amusing". The other side, in two columns lists under the headings “Capital New Book: and “Attractive New Books some 14 best-sellers." The date of this prospectus is arrived at by the publication by Carleton of "St. Elmo"; "The Widow Spriggins"; "The Bishop's Son"; and "Cameron Pride", all of which were published in 1867; and by one edition of "Habits of Good Society" published in 1868--as this last title was a perennial with the firm, it is possible that in addition to an 1864 and the 1868 editions, there was also an 1867 one which we have not located. G. W. Carleton was in business from 1857-1886 and was known for its humorous publications and best-selling novels; the firm published some 300 titles in various editions. Please see "Publishers for Mass Entertainment in Nineteenth Century America", Edited by Madeleine Stern, pp. 81-88; Ms. Stern is in error in stating that the name changed to G. W. Carleton and Company in 1871; as the imprint on this document is "G. W. Carleton & Co." and clearly dates to 1867-68 New York,[1867-1868]. AMERICANA PROSPECTUS

BRANDEIS Louis D. Typed Letter, signed
4to, 1 page on the Harvard Law School Association letterhead. ,June 221892. Written as Secretary ofthe Harvard Law School Association to Philip S. Abbot asking him to accept the position of local secretary for the Law School of the Harvard Law School Association There is an amusing current correction in Brandeis’ hand: “the efficiency with which you have filled the office of the Treasurer [ink above deleted “Secretary”] of the Harvard Law Review,” which possibly shows the stress this busy young lawyer was under. Brandeis was one of the early founders of the Harvard Law Review in 1887. He stayed with the Review until 1916 when he became an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court. Signed letters are uncommon in trade. The recipient was Philip Stanley Abbot (1866–1896). He graduated in 1893 and worked for Warren & Brandeis for a year. He was killed mountain climbing in Western Canada. LAW

[BROWN David] The Planter: or, Thirteen Years in the South By a Northern Man
276 8vo, navy ribbed cloth, spine faded to gray; ownership signature on the front pastedown of a "E Montague Grimke" Philadelphia: H. Hooker, Corner of Chestnut and Eighth Sts., 1853. Howes II, B-834. First Edition. We have not been able to find any information on the author, except his dates which are 1786-1875. Possibly from Pennsylvania as the Upper Delaware is mentioned in Chapter I and there was a David Brown active in that part of Pennsylvania at a time when the author was alive. From the Advertisement p. [3]:"It is the proud boast of abolition authors and senators, that the literature of the age is all on their side. There let its infidel philosophies and licentious levities forever remain...This boasted literature represents the condition of the southern slave as enormously wretched; and the true facts appearing will be received as evidences of the enormous wickedness of abolition literature. The time is approaching for the reaction to commence. This truthful little work is designed to accelerate it, by showing that the world abounds with worse evils far, than Southern slavery, even as falsely represented by its calumniators.

BUCHANAN Joseph R[hodes] The "Vanguard of the Army;" an Introductory Lecture, Delivered at the Eclectic Medical Institute, Nov. 7th, 1849
24 8vo, cream wrappers, front printed, somewhat soiled; lightly foxed throughout Cincinnati: Medical Class of the Eclectic Medical Institute, 1849. Not in OCLC; one location in NUC (National Library of Medicine). We found the following information on this homeopathic school: The Eclectic Medical Institute was completed in 1846, and first occupied November 7th, by the faculty and graduating class of 1847. Doctor Wooster Beach, the founder of Medical Reform, and now well along in years, came on from the East to take charge of the 'clinique' and his text-book— “The American Practice”—was the only book on reformed medicine then available. Text-books of the regular school were still used, but the lectures on practice were carefully revised and presented according to the views of the reformed physicians. The new school was prosperous and had, in its first year, 81 students and 22 graduates; and in the following year, 127 students and 31 graduates. The first year of the embryo institution passed off successfully, having had a good enrollment and a fair sized graduating class. Thus far Doctor Morrow had kept his hand on the helm. Being broad, tolerant, and liberal-minded, however, he was tempted, by the desire to spread reform and enlarge the school, to recognize and aid homeopathy—unwisely for the peace and prosperity of the new college. He with others looked favorably upon the efforts of the homeopaths to gain a foothold, and inclined strongly toward the establishment of a chair of homeopathy in the Institute—a purpose duly announced in the college journal. This innovation, to be referred to hereafter, proved to be one of the first disturbing procedures in the progress of the infant school. Another was the addition to the faculty of one who for the next decade provoked continual uneasiness among the corps of teachers. On March 25, 1846, there was taken into the faculty a brilliant scholar and lecturer, who, though not deeply versed in medical knowledge, had recognized the justice of the cause of Eclecticism and had cast his lot with the reformers. He was a fluent and persuasive speaker, ready with the pen, and could grace the occasion when a convincing orator was needed to appear before the people. It was, therefore, considered a great stroke of policy when Doctor Joseph Rhodes Buchanan was added to the faculty. Professor Buchanan remained with the school some ten years, and well- meaning though he undoubtedly was, he proved as visionary and unpractical as he was talented and eloquent. So tenacious was he of his favorite subject of cerebral physiology (closely allied to phrenology) and so insistent was he to display it on all occasions, that there soon arose dissensions in the faculty which resulted in the withdrawal of some of the most able professors from the teaching force MEDICINE
