The green boards are in good condition (intact, bumped spine top and bottom, bumped corners, some edge wear). 8 x 5 ½, 306 pages, 19 ounces XX [From the 1934 New York Times review] Mr. Kent, who has a good time pot-shotting 'recovery' and its mechanisms in the editorial columns of The Baltimore Sun has selected about forty of his articles dealing particularly with the two sessions of the Seventy-third Congress and the intervenIng recess and arranged them in what he calls a realistic running comment on the great Federal experiments, their operations and operators. Mr. Kent has the freest hand because he has no thesis to be developed systematically and can fire at any mark that offers. He finds marks in plenty and rarely fails to score a hit. He pays his respects to professor Moley the special adviser sweeping into the London Conference by seaplane and naval destroyer only to be sunk within three days, and professor Moley the editor providing the comic touch by advising the veteran M. Litvinov how to conduct himself as a diplomat after he reached the United States. Professor Tugwell. Peering through the empurpled haze down long. lovely vistas at the end of which lie flowery beds of ease on which everybody leads a happy life, and producing articles and speeches literally reeking with Conservatism, yet dropping his standards instead of sticking to them when a Senatorial committee questioned him and doing nothing that would increase respect for him among discriminating people, is an obvious target. as are the financial experts of the Senate who spoke with authority out of the business experience acquired in those great financial centres of Gulfport Tonopah, Jacksonville, and Medicine Park.

From the Dust Jacket: "FAITHFUL FRIENDS is a superb collection of the wonderfully diverse and prolific observations that have been recorded about dogs and their relations with us through the ages. The fruit of many years' research by a lifelong breeder and dogman, the sources here are as varied as the subjects they explore. FAITHFUL FRIENDS contains joyously funny, sometimes entrancing, often serious and informative descriptions that range from classical Greece to contemporary Britain and America, from sportsmen to breeders, philosophers to ploughmen, poets and politicians to kings. Here are the things worth saying about canine character, form and variety; friendship, fidelity and constancy; herding and hunting, rural pursuits and companionship. Many writers have commented on the camaraderie and good cheer whenever dog-lovers meet; their best work is given here. There are observations on the dog's extraordinarily acute senses and natural intelligence, and finally there are poignant and inventive epitaphs on the inevitable end of the friendship." Bound in the original gilt-lettered red boards. . First U.S. Edition. Hard Cover. Fine condition./Near Fine dust jacket. 8vo. x, 533pp. Great Packaging, Fast Shipping.…

The yellow boards are in good condition (intact, bumped spine top and bottom, bumped corners, smudges on front and back covers). 8 x 5 ½, 334 pages, 18 ounces XX [From the 1936 New York Times review] the one-time historian of the Democratic Party has passed into opposition. He does not like the New Deal nor the men in it, and he has said so. Yet his position is not totally defined, for Mr. Kent has no particular affection for the Republicans. He stands apparently in that twilight zone which of late has been called, for want of anything better, Jeffersonian democracy. The fundamental tenets of this faith are opposition to government spending and to government concentration. Now excitement over spending leads to rash assertions. Does Mr. Kent really believe, for instance, that there was never a Senatorial liberal who did not abhor the thought of governmental retrenchment and economy, and to whom the mere idea of balancing the budget was not repellent? That goes pretty far and surely anyone acquainted with the liberals on Capitol Hill is aware that these men, however unorthodox on financial matters, do not take so extreme and indefensible a position. Senator LaFollette, to whom tribute is paid for his tax proposals of last summer, is confessedly a senatorial liberal, and yet he does not oppose budget balancing in itself. What he does oppose is curtailed public spending in a period of deflation when private spending dries up. The senator believes in a pay as you go policy as much as does the Baltimore publicist. Where the two part company is over taxes which one believes to be socially desirable and the other regards as an unpleasant necessity. One man's meat --. As a matter of fact, Mr. Kent distrusts the liberals in Congress, and to them he attributes the chief features of the New Deal, something that has a certain amount of novelty since most anti-New Dealers blame all upon the professors. The progressives, however, are rather hesitant about accepting this distinction, and rightly so, for while some progressive ideas have become part of the New Deal, the application has been quite different from anything anticipated. Concentration of power at Washington disturbs many men, New Dealers as well as Jeffersonians. But this trend which indicates future no less than present worries for the political scientist, became apparent long ago. How to change it has not been acceptably answered by anyone, although the merest tyro can point out the evils inherent in governmental bigness. xx See Kent's 1934 WITHOUT GLOVES.…

hardcover. Condizione: Very good. Octavo, green cloth covers, ix [1] 306 pages. Kent was initially a supporter of FDR's polices, but by 1934 Kent, a lifelong Democrat, turned against the New Deal. "He criticized FDR and liberals who tried to disrupt his cherished Jeffersonian principles - the balanced budget, limited spending by the federal government, and a limited government. As his criticism became more severe, he charged that the Democrats no longer stood for states' rights. Kent pronounced the New Deal's AAA farm program a failure and was astonished that the Roosevelt administration did not propose to abandon it, but intended, instead, "to proceed from one experiment that has failed to a more drastic experiment along the same line" in the direction of greater control over agricultural production. As for the centerpiece of New Deal efforts to promote economic recovery, NRA, Kent found no enthusiasm for it any longer." --from Wikipedia. 021210A Americana, Franklin D. Roosevelt.…
