Self-published, 1924. Soft Cover. Very Good binding. This controversial pamphlet caused a stir when Neva Moss went on the lecture circuit in the 1920's. She portrayed herself as an "escaped nun" and characterized convents as "Roman prison houses" and "slave houses". Ms. Moss was at the "House of the Good Shepherd" in Detroit, and the booklet is illustrated with many black and white photographs of that facility. She was actually arrested when lecturing in Australia for attempting to give a lecture "for women only". 145 pp. and uncommon, with only six copies found on OCLC. Very Good binding.

Wright and Buckingham's historical descriptions of various places in Belgium, the Rhine, Italy, Greece, and the Shores and Islands of the Mediterranean, with engraved illustrations by various artists. Complete with two volumes bound in one. Vol. I is complete with all 73 plates called for in the 'Contents,' though "Great Canal, and Antique Gothic House" [or "Ghent"] is bound in at Vol. II, p. 58, and "The City of Catania and Mount Etna" is bound in near Vol. II, p. 152. Vol. II is lacking pp. 25-32, and pp. 49-56, and also lacks the eight plates that would have been in those two signatures. This is quite possibly a binder's error, as there does not appear to be any explicit damage to the textblock at those locations; the binder also misplaces a number of plates, though most of these errors are simply a few pages off. Vol. I with all 73 plates. Vol. II with 73 of the 81 plates. Altogether with… Read More
