Katharine Graham (1917-2001) was the Publisher, and later, Chairman of the Board of the Washington Post Company. She was a noted Washington hostess, whose dinner table served so many of the powerful, influential and interesting people during their tenure in the Nation's Capitol. The author Violeta Barrios de Chamorro was President of Nicaragua between 1990—1997, and was the first woman to govern a Central American nation. The assassination of her husband, journalist Pedro Joaquin Chamorro Cardenal in 1978, who exposed the corruption and atrocities of the Nicaraguan dictator Anastasio Somoza Debayle, thrust Violeta Barrios de Chamorro into the political spotlight. A housewife and mother of four, she resumed her husband's fight and found herself highly coveted by the Sandinistas once they had replaced Somoza. Though she joined them for a brief time, she eventually ran against their candidate for president in 1990 in the first country's first democratic election since Somoza took over and earned a surprising victory. Dreams of the Heart, a memoir, recounts Chamorro's rise from homemaker to statesperson and illustrates how she led her country through an important transition better than anyone could have expected. ; Signed by Author; Experience the pleasure of reading and appreciating this actual printed item.

Boston Lothrop 1901 First Edition Hardcover Very Good+
Former owner's name on front endpapersotherwise clean and tight in original red cloth bidning with gilt lettering at spine and front cover. One of the creators of "yellow journalism" at the turn of the 20th century, James Creelman became the first American journalist to interview a Pope, accompanied the Japanese in their war with China, visited Tolstoy at his home in Russia, got wounded in the Philippines as a correspondent in the Spanish-American War, pow-wowed with Sitting Bull, and reported on the death of President McKinley at the hands of an assassin. He joined adventurer and showman Paul Boyton on his treks across the Yellowstone River and Mississippi River, dodged bullets reporting on the feud between the Hatfields and McCoys and interviewed Sitting Bull. He also interviewed Mexican President Porfirio Diaz, wherein Diaz stated he would not run for reelection in 1910 to allow new leadership for Mexico, a promise he did not keep and that in part led to the Mexican Revolution. With his incisive style, Creelman related the major stories of his times, often as a participant observe. In her book The Yellow Kids, Joyce Milton describes Creelman as the "conscience of the fourth estate," who did as much talking as listening during interviews. A fascinating memoir.

Graham, George R.; (Editor) ; Edgar Allan Poe Graham's American Monthly Magazine Jan-Dec 1851 Vols XXXVIII-XXXIX
Philadelphia George R. Graham & Co, 1851 First Edition Hardcover Very Good 8vo
iv, 470, iv, 380 pages; Contemporary brown pebbled half morocco over textured slate grey cloth, raised bands with gilt tooling, title and date lettered in gilt directly in the second and fourth panels, pale green endpapers (now foxed and stained from reactions to the glue used in the binding). Just a touch of minor rubbing, but the binding is sound and still quite handsome. Unfortunately, the binder's ticket (remains still mounted to the upper corner of the front paste-down) has been defaced. "Norwalk, Ct" [Connecticut] remains (printed in black on a green ticket), but the name is lost. Also lost are the colored fashion plates -- gone, no trace of removal. Two steel engraved plates remain, (one is the general engraved title page). Much has happened to Graham's magazine in the ten years since George Rex Graham hired Edgar Allan Poe as its editor. Poe was replaced by Rufus Wilmot Griswold in the editor's chair - a central focus of one of the great literary emnities in Western history, but by 1851, Poe has died, Griswold, too, has moved on, and Graham has lost, and then, repurchased, his splendid magazine. But this year still has work by the important writers attracted by Graham's relatively liberal payments. Here, one finds Longfellow, Wlliam Cullen Bryant, Henry William Herbert, N. P. Willis, Bayard Taylor, etc. There is even a posthumous taste of Poe in the form of a three page article by J. A. Tinnon about Poe's poem "Ulalume" -- (first published in another magazine in 1847... see pp. 120-2, here). ; Experience the pleasure of reading and appreciating this actual printed item.

A distinguished editor and writer, he has had a fabulous publishing record -- first managing editor of The New Yorker, editor of Fortune, vice-president and general Manager of Time, Inc. when he created Life, founder of the newspaper P.M. ... With wit and insight he describes his boyhood as a rebel in a conservative, old New York family, his riotously misspent youth at Hotchkiss and Yale, and his hectic years on the fledgling NEW YORKER. His maravelous anecdotes about the birth pangs of that remarkable magazine and its brilliant staff -- Harold Ross, James Thurber, E.B. and Katharine White -- and their associates at the Algonquin Round table, offer a vivid glimpse of a fascinating world.

Lowell, James Russell ; et al. HARVARDIANA
Cambridge James Munroe; and John Owen 1835-38 First Edition Hardcover Good
392 pages; Four annual volumes bound in three of this scarce literary periodical comprising the complete run -- which consists of four academic years, from Vol. 1, no. 1 ([Sept.] 1834) thru vol. 4, no. 10 (July 1838). Contents are clean and tight in the original bindings of quarter calf over marbled boards, very minor scattered foxing. Volume two is lacking its front board; leather is chipped from spine ends of other volumes (especially at heads); general rubbing and wear, especially along the hinges and at the corners, internally the contents are complete and clean. The two volumes which retain their front boards have the bold woodcut bookplate of David Murray (1842-1928), Glasgow lawyer, antiquarian and bibliographer -- a variant of the plate reproduced as plate # 39 in 'One hundred book plates engraved on wood' - by Thomas Moring, London: De la More Press, 1901. The plate reproduced in Moring's volume has the date "1875" cut into the block; these two examples are clearly printed from the same block, but do not have this date in the sash on either side of the bearded central figure. Harvardiana was a periodical published in Cambridge, Massachusetts, first by James Munroe and Co. (1835) and then by John Owen from 1836 through 1838. It was a literary journal administered by Harvard University undergraduates. The periodical was the brain-child of two Harvard freshmen in the fall of 1834. They submitted their plan for an undergraduate literary magazine to their classmates who whole heartedly approved it, but turned over the project to some juniors and seniors who actually started the journal. The first issue appeared in September of 1834; in the manner of periodicals, this volume has a collective title page with the date 1835, matching most of its contents. The earliest editors are not identified, but by 1836 they included Samuel Tenney Hildreth. In 1837 the editors were Charles Hayward, Samuel Tenney Hildreth, and Charles Stearns Wheeler, (classmates and friends of Henry David Thoreau). Horatio Hale, the philologist, was named as one of the editors for that year, but he was appointed to Charles Wilke's exploring expedition and was, consequently, abroad. In the fourth and final year (1838), the editors included Rufus King, George Warren Lippitt, Charles Woodman Scates, Nathan Hale, Jr., and James Russell Lowell. It contains the earliest of Lowell's published poems. Very likely fewer than 250-300 copies were issued, as the periodical was produced at the expense of the editors for a small group of subscribers. When, in September 1837, this team of undergraduates undertook the publication of "Harvardiana," Lowell was eighteen, Hale was eighteen, Scates, King, and Lippitt only a bit older. In the case of "Harvardiana" no eager body of contributors appeared, and the table of contents shows that the five editors contributed much more than half the volume. James Russell Lowell authored more than a dozen poems and articles, including "To Mount Washington," "Saratoga Lake," and the four parts of "Skillygoliana." Evidently, subscriptions waned and the periodical was abandoned after the fourth year. In a farewell notice, the editors cited squabbles and hurt-feelings between the two major camps of their subscribers as cause. OCLC 9669242 & 840001378 Quite scarce in commerce.

Multiple Authors Critical and Social Essays Reprinted from the New York Nation
New York Leypoldt & Holt 1867 First Edition; First Printing Hardcover Very Good+ 12mo
iv, 230 & (4, ads) pages; Publisher's dark green cloth, with beveled edges to the boards, title lettered in gilt on the spine and front cover, gilt publisher's device at the foot of the spine. Chocolate brown endpapers. Essays from the New York Nation founded by the Irish-born American journalist and editor Edwin Lawrence Godkin (1831-1902). In planning the new weekly publication, E. L. Godkin was joined by fellow abolishionists Charles Eliot Norton and James Miller McKim, who helped gather contributions from many progressive writers of the period. Godkin remained editor of his "Nation" until the end of the year 1899, even though in 1881 he sold the Nation to the New York Evening Post. According to The Nation's founding prospectus of 1865, "The Nation will not be the organ of any party, sect, or body. It will, on the contrary, make an earnest effort to bring to the discussion of political and social questions a really critical spirit, and to wage war upon the vices of violence, exaggeration and misrepresentation by which so much of the political writing of the day is marred." The Nation is still in existence, after many difficulties, various owners, and anger directed towards it by various pillars of the establishment. It is now the oldest continuously published weekly magazine in the United States. The periodical, devoted to politics and culture, is self-described as "the flagship of the left." This handsome gathering of articles from the first 18 months of "The Nation" was published by Leypoldt & Holt, a firm founded in 1866 by Frederick Leypoldt and Henry Holt. Initially, this firm specialized in translations from foreign books. Indeed, almost simultaneously with this little book, the firm published the first English translation of Ivan Turgenev's "Fathers and Sons" (issued in a nearly identical format to this tidy volume). In fact, the two works appear, with one other, on a leaf of 'Seasonable New Books' included in the publisher's ads at the rear). In 1868, Leypoldt decided to devote his future efforts to bibliography. He founded the periodical that eventually became "Publisher's Weekly, and others. By 1873, the firm had become Henry Holt and Company. A splendid copy, tight, clean and sound, with the neat pencil signature of H. C. Angell dated 1868 on the front blank leaf. There are three tiny spots (of ink?) on the spine, but the binding is otherwise virtually unworn, even at the edges. ; Experience the pleasure of reading and appreciating this actual printed item.
