London: George Allen & Unwin, 1935. First Edition. First impression. Octavo (22cm). Blue cloth gilt; dustjacket; [vi],[14]-404,[4]pp; folding map inserted between end of text and index. Tight, clean and unmarked, Near Fine; in the original printed dustwrapper, unclipped (priced 16s. at base of front flap); jacket lightly worn, still Very Good or better. An attractive copy. Rigby (1820-1885) was the second British consul at Zanzibar, serving from 1858 to 1860. He was an energetic opponent of the slave trade and, though he did not succeed in fully suppressing the traffic in enslaved people during his time in Zanzibar (where the last slave market would not close until 1873), he did manage to free more than eight thousand slaves during his two-year tenure. This volume includes a full transcription of Rigby's lively journal, the original of which was sold at Bonham's in 2021 for more than £50,000. A nice copy of a somewhat uncommon book, rarely seen in its dustwrapper.

Following the war, The Masses was revived in a slightly different…

Eberhart's bibliographer notes the tipped in contents page in two variants, but evidently did not see any copies before they were "recalled". This copy inscribed to another New England poet and signed "Dick". A letter (Als) covering a full page regarding the work of another poet (poem in fact) and beginning by thanking the poet for a party. Some of the letter I can not decipher including the name of the male poet. Although a few of the "ur-editions" may have escaped, they are likely exceedingly uncommon, and not examined by the bibliographer. The book is unevenly sunned and lacking the (common) dust jacket else very good. The letter is folded else fine. Meckler A27a.
