Acier, Marcel (Editor) from Spanish Trenches. Recent Letters from Spain
New York Modern Age 1937 First Edition Hard Cover Very Good Very Good 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall
First-hand accounts of the Spanish Civil War, from Loyalist participants (mainly from the International Brigades). Collected and edited by Marcel Acier, a member of the leftist "League of American Writers" (Quercus speculates this is either a nom de plume or the book was actually compiled by a French curling iron). This is a Very Good copy of the First Edition. Bright red cloth binding with silver lettering. Clean and fresh text; 199 pages plus two pages of publisher's information on various titles and series currently available. The fore-edge of the front cover is mottled (approximately 3/8" affected). The dustjacket is complete and unclipped (although the original price of 85 cents has been crossed out - repriced to 25 cents). Some chipping and edgewear; the spine darkened a bit. The original yellow colour does show the soiling quite well! In a protective plastic cover. A wonderful bit of history that gives the flavour of a cause that galvanized leftists throughout the world, causing them to be labeled as "premature anti-Fascists." Somewhat scarce, although it has been reprinted.

Anonymous ("One of America's Most Famous Detectives") The Great Cronin Mystery or the Irish Patriot's Fate
Chicago Laird & Lee 1889 First Edition Hard Cover Very Good Minus No Jacket 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall
" A Complete and Accurate History of the Assassination of Dr. Patrick Henry Cronin, the Searcxh for the Murderers, the Inquest, the Trial, and the Verdict." Illustrated with many engravings. Cronin, an Irish patriot, was murdered for political reasons in what was known as "the crime of the century" (actual title of a competing volume of popular history by a rival publisher). This is a Very Good (Minus) copy of the First Edition. Green cloth binding, now darkened, with a blindstamped portrait of Dr. Cronin and the motto "Or the Irish Patriot's Fate. A Complete History of the Greatest of Modern Crimes." The volume shows some wear, with moderate soiling and bumped corners. 527 pages; the text is generally quite clean and supple. Three tiny and mysterious stampings, perhaps refering to a private library. There is a split starting at the rear gutter. No dustjacket. The late-19th Century interest in this mystery was comparable to the Lindbergh kidnapping or OJ Simpson; a fascinating nook of American Irish history, and surprisingly scarce.

Barrington, Sir Jonah Rise and Fall of the Irish Nation
New York D. & J. Sadlier & Co. 1848 Second Edition Hard Cover Very Good No Jacket 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall
Sir Jonah Barrington (1760-1814) was a supporter of the Irish Parliamentary Party. A popular memoirist, although plagued by personal scandal. This is an interesting work, containing his observations of political corruption and "naming names" - those MPs who had voted against the Act of Union in 1799-1800. Originally published in 1833. This particular edition not in OCLC; Quercus suggests that this is probably the Second Edition published in America by Sadlier. A Very Good (Minus) copy. Light brown cloth binding with gilt lettering and designs on the spine. Text generally bright with some foxing throughout; very readable, although pages are wrinkled in a manner that suggests previous exposure to moisture. The signatures are strong, but somewhat stiff. No dustjacket; in an archival plastic protector.
