London: The Cresset Press, 1953. First edition. Octavo. Original green cloth and dust jacket (not price-clipped); chipping to head and tail of dust jacket, and one-inch closed tear at spine, otherwise moderate edgewear. Near-fine in a very good-plus dust jacket.. A bright copy of this collection of fables from the British archeologist, poet, and essayist Jacquetta Hawkes (1910-1996). Hawkes was a highly respected British archeologist who combined her love for archeology, history, and literature to publish over twenty books-from poetry to fables to works on British history and geology. Hawkes was born in Cambridge, England, the youngest child of Sir Frederick Gowland Hopkins, a biochemist and 1929 Nobel Prize recipient for his credited discovery of vitamins (and the cousin of Gerard Manley Hopkins). She studied archeology at Newnham College, Cambridge, gaining first-class honors, and during the 1930s she joined and led archeological excavations around the world, including at Mount Carmel, Palestine,…

Description:
New York: Politics Publishing Co, 1946. Magazine. Stapled wraps, 8.5 x 11 inches. Lightly worn, staples rusted. Near-fine.. A bright copy of this uncommon publication of Simone Weil's (1909-1943) essay "Factory Work." During the years 1934-1935 ("hard and bitter years of economic crisis" in France), Weil set out to experience and document the "proletarian condition" of France's laborers in the factories of suburban Paris. As a result of her experiences Weil concluded that "our factories have become festering grounds of evil, and the evils of the factories must be corrected." Weil's essay records her appeal for the good over the useful, the qualitative over the quantitative, goodness over well-being-in sum, for a fundamental purpose over mere utilitarian function. Dwight Macdonald (1906-1982) published Weil's essay in the December 1946 issue of politics, a magazine he founded in 1944 and which began as a monthly publication until its fourth year, after which it ran as a quarterly. Macdonald launched…

New York: John T. Flynn, 1945. Second edition, revised; a follow-up to his privately-printed pamphlet The Truth About Pearl Harbor (1944). Pamphlet. Stapled newsprint, 6 x 9 inches, 15 pp. An uncommon privately printed pamphlet. Browning and offsetting to newsprint wrappers with chipping to corners, else very good.. A privately printed pamphlet published by John T. Flynn (1882-1964) as a follow-up to his 1944 pamphlet The Truth About Pearl Harbor. Flynn, an anti-war journalist and staunch critic of President Roosevelt, was among the first to publicly question the events surrounding the Pearl Harbor attack on December 7, 1941. In September 1944, Flynn privately printed a pamphlet, The Truth About Pearl Harbor, in which he argued that President Roosevelt's administration had advanced knowledge regarding a possible Japanese attack on the US. Flynn's The Truth About Pearl Harbor was also published in the Chicago Tribune in October 1944 and spurred other journalists to critically evaluate the events…

Rare original printing of Alasdair MacIntyre's (b. 1929) early pamphlet discussing and debating a proposed change to Clause 4 of the Labour Party Constitution.
