In his introduction Taylor explains: 'The accompanying Report has been prepared under the auspices of the Office of the Governor's Legal Counsel in response to your questions: first, as to whether there are substantial grounds for believing - at least in light of the criminal justice standards of today - that Sacco and Vanzetti were unfairly convicted and executed, and, second, if so, what action can now appropriately be taken. It is my conclusion that there are substantial, indeed compelling, grounds for believing that the Sacco and Vanzetti legal proceedings were permeated with unfairness, and that a proclamation issued by you would be appropriate.' Loosely inserted are two items. First, a Typed Letter from Veda Paoletta of the Governor's Press Office to Lucille McMahon of Wellesley Free Library, enclosing a copy of the report. 1p., 8vo. 15 November 1977. Second, a photostat (1p., 8vo) of Dukakis's 1977 proclamation removing 'any stigma and disgrace' from the men's names. Now scarce: no copies found on COPAC. WorldCat lists six locations in the USA.…

Navy-blue embossed publisher's cloth, gilt illustration & lettering on front cover, gilt lettering on spine (minor edgewear, minor bumping to corners, rubbing, inner hinges expertly repaired), sitll a VG copy. First edition of this propagandistic, and self-promoting work by one of the lead investigators into the Haymarket Case in which after a peaceful protest by 1500 workers in Haymarket Square against the police actions breaking up the McCormick Harvesting Machine Co. strike May 3, 1886. The police led by Schaak crony Inspector Bonfield led a raid against the crowd as it was dispersing, a bomb was thrown, chaos resulted, police and possibly some strikers opened fire resulting in one protester's death, as well as 7 police officers, and still 60 others wounded. In response, the "Chicago Eight" anarchists were sentenced to death, and the incident touched off the red scare that swept the US, as well as being generally credited with offering the origin of International Workers' Day. The book widely distributed at the time served as an aggrandizing recruiting tool for the Pinkerton's and their ongoing operations against striking laborers, and although it included many of the documents and testimony of people in the event, also featured extensive fabrication, decidedly biased accounts of Communist, Socialist, and Nihilist movements in the U.S. and Worldwide, and failed to restore the careers of Schaack and Bonfield who were dismissed for fabricating evidence, encouraging perjured testimony of police witnesses, and jury rigging by the prosecution.

Duodecimo [19 cm] Beige cloth over boards, with a black ink stamped title on the backstrip and front board, and black ink stamped single-ruled borders on the front board. Reproduced photographic frontispiece portrait of the author by T. Kajiwara. Prominent toning to the spine and a large section of the rear board. Cloth a bit frayed at the edges, with the underlying boards at times peeking through. Endpapers split along the hinges. Text block cracked at the title page. Name in pencil on the title page. Very occasional brief markings (mostly in the form of hatching) in pencil and colored pencil. With two newspaper clippings pertaining to Emma Goldman ("Red Emma") laid in. A classic of radical literature. Third edition printed on front cover. Emma Goldman was once viewed as "the most dangerous woman in America," and was a thinker so far ahead of her time that even today, her views seem strikingly revolutionary. This collection of essays is a magnificent introduction to her thoughts: ranging from her views on women's suffrage and emancipation, patriotism's menace to liberty, the psychology of political violence, the prison system ("a social crime and failure"), the hypocrisy of Puritanism, and the strategies of dissent. These writings all reflect her fearless joyousness, her radical dedication to the idea that life is meant to be a source of delight- and that avoiding the meaningless grind of everyday life must be achieved in any way possible. This copy is inscribed (not to a specific person) by Emma Goldman on the front free endpaper: "Emma Goldman / Portland August / 1916." Emma Goldman (1869-1940) was born in Kovno (now Kaunas, Lithuania). She grew up in what is now Kaliningrad, Russia, and in St. Petersburg. Her formal education was limited, but she read widely, and in St. Petersburg became involved with a radical student circle. She immigrated to the United States in 1885, first settling in Rochester, New York, then in New Haven, Connecticut, where she worked in clothing factories and came into contact with socialist and anarchist groups. Subsequently, she moved to New York City, where in 1893, she was jailed for inciting a riot when a group of unemployed workers reacted to a fiery speech she had delivered. In 1895, upon her release, Goldman began lecturing throughout Europe and the United States, and later, in 1906, Goldman founded Mother Earth, a periodical that she edited until its suppression in 1917. Goldman's naturalization as a U.S. citizen was revoked by a legal stratagem in 1908. Two years later she published Anarchism and Other Essays. An early edition of Goldman's famous essays, signed by the much revered revolutionary activist author just under a year before she was sentenced to two years in prison for her opposition to the U.S. involvement in World War I and for agitating against mandatory military service. Third edition (Second revised edition on title page).…

Though first published in France in 1843, "Mon Oncle Benjamin" was not previously available to an English-speaking readership before individualist anarchist publisher Benjamin R. Tucker's translation, which appeared just in time for Christmas, 1890. The novel, which is set in the last days of the reign of Louis XV and into that of the doomed Louis XVI, recounts the exploits of a hapless doctor, the eponymous Uncle Benjamin, who takes poorly to the administering of medicine but excels at drinking and accruing unpaid debts. Like many novels Tucker chose to translate and publish, "My Uncle Benjamin" is not overtly anarchist, though as one early review notes, "very little thought [is given] sometimes for the sensibilities of the pious or the delicate reader, but with tender regard to the sacredness of human rights and feelings" (from "The Brooklyn Daily Eagle" (under the header "A Virile Old French Novel"), December 28, 1890).…

Though Tolstoy never considered himself an anarchist, he was among the American movement's literary darlings due to his sympathetic portrayals of the peasant class and anti-militarist views. The present translation, by radical publisher and individualist anarchist Benjamin R. Tucker, was his major bestseller (62,000 copies reported) and ran into multiple printings despite being banned from the mails under the Comstock Act for indecency (the novella portrays a man whose jealousy leads him to murder his wife). The only other copies of this title currently on the market (November, 2018) are later printings. Reference: Candace Falk, ed. "Emma Goldman: A Documentary History of the American Years," Vol. 1, p. 559. No priority established between this and the first London edition, both first appearing in June, 1890 (see "Bibliography of Russian Literature in English Translation to 1945," p. 42).
