ADDAMS, Jane. A New Conscience And An Ancient Evil. New York: Macmillan, 1912. First edition. 8vo., orig. blue cloth, 219, (5)pp.ads. A near fine copy. In her preface, Addams states "The following material, much of which has been publishe in McClure's Magazine, was written, not from the point of view of the expert, but because my own need for counter-knowledge to a bewildering mass of information which came to me through the Juvenile Protective Association of Chicago. The reports which its twenty field officiers daily brought to its main office adjoining Hull House became to me a revelation of the dangers implicit in city conditions and of the allurements which are designedly placed around many young girls in order to draw them into an evil life..."

ALAMANNI, Luigi. La Coltivation. Parigi (Paris): Roberto Stephano, (R. Estienne), 1546. First edition. With the bookplate of Stillman Drake. 8vo., full contemporary limp vellum, 154, 8pp. [A-T8, U-X2, (2) leaves. With the errata on U2v. In this copy the dedication leaves signed * are inserted at the end rather than between A1 and a2 as in Schreiber 88. Bookplates, small hole in the titlepage, ink blot on a2, at some point there has been some damp to the foredge which has caused someone to trim the foredge as well as that side of the vellum wrapper (however there are still quite large margins), there is damp to the outer margins through most of the work and there is some rotting to the edges of some leaves, there is slight loss to the margins of the e/papers through A3, some loss to the edge of the wrapper but this is still a very good copy. "The work is unique among the books produced by Robert Estienne in two respects; it is the only book printed entirely in Estienne's larger italic, and also the only one printed in Italian, in fact, it is the only book in a modern language, other than French to issue from Robert Estienne's press." (Schreiber). First edition of this famous didactic poem on the care of fields and gardens, written in imitation of Virgil's Georgics. Alammani wrote the poem while at the court of Francois I, where he became on of the most influential Italian poets at the French court.
