A Good copy. "Printed for Gratuitous Distribution." This is a Unionist tract containing various texts and printed letters that ardently support the Union cause during the Civil War. A tongue-in-cheek "Cautionary Note" in the front explains the title of this pamphlet, a reference to how nurses conceal bitter but necessary medicine in dishes for patients, and says that this pamphlet is a metaphorical "savory dish" that will only be enjoyed by men loyal to the Union. The pamphlet contains two letters written by Union General William Starke Rosencrans, a message and proclamation by Delaware Governor William Cannon, "an argument from an old Democrat," a partial speech by Daniel S. Dickinson (a Unionist Democrat), an essay ruminating over "lessons from the past" and whether those lessons will be heeded, a series of resolutions passed by the 149th Pennsylvania Bucktails, and a statement on inside of back cover further voicing support for the Union. This pamphlet is a rallying cry for Unionists that simultaneously denounces the Confederacy and its sympathizers. Rosencrans's two letters show his opposition to the Confederacy and support for the Union Army. Cannon expresses urgency toward continued and unified efforts to stop the Confederate rebellion. He notes that the Constitution protects life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness but also allows suspension of the writ of habeas corpus should the Union be endangered. Cannon voices his clear support of the United States president and urges the people of Delaware to report any known conspiracies against the national government. In an essay by an unnamed "old Democrat," said Democrat ruminates over the current state of Confederate cause and his changed views as a former pro-slavery Democrat. He had previously taken the stance of not interfering with slavery or permitting its limited expansion. However, this Democrat says he believes the Confederacy and the institution of slavery are destined, by divine providence, to be defeated. He paints a picture of the Confederate Army being ineffectual as he refers to its various military defeats thus far. He also notes the economic prosperity of the Union while criticizing the relative destitution in the Confederacy. For example, he lists the high prices for everyday goods in Confederate states. A brief text preceding Dickinson's speech introduces him as a Democrat who is a Unionist, against the Confederate rebels, and a supporter of the Emancipation Proclamation and employment of African-American soldiers. In his speech, Dickinson lambastes the Confederacy, supports the Union cause, and denounces slavery. He says that the only safeguard of slavery was the Constitution and that the "opinion of the world," "instincts of humanity and religion," "the advance of civilization," and national interests are all against slavery. Another essay states the urgency for protecting the Union lest it fall into despotism like other nations have in the past or turmoil like in France amid its recent revolutions. This essay also derides the Southern "Copperheads." The 149th Pennsylvania Bucktails' resolutions proclaim patriotic loyalty to the Union and denounce Southern rebels and "Copperheads." The text on inside of back cover says there are only three groups of people in the war, the Confederate rebels, Confederate sympathizers in the North, and patriotic people who support the Union.…

Soft cover. Condizione: Good. 2nd Edition. Carl Sternheim (born William Adolph Carl Francke) was an important German playwright and short story writer, who is, unfortunately, little known to American readers. He was one of the most renowned figures in the German Expressionist movement. His works were prized for their keen satire on the moral foibles of the German middle class of the Wilhelmine era. In 1908 he joined with Franz Blei to help found the Expressionist journal "Hyperion". This journal published the first prose works by Franz Kafka. Sternheim later presented the Fontane Prize to Kafka in 1915. Kafka was still largely unknown as a writer. Ottomar Starke, who did the art for this edition of "Schuhlin", also drew the first cover (in 1915) for Kafka's "The Metamorphosis". Carl Sternheim's works were banned by the Nazi government because of his satiric take on the German bourgeoisie, and because he was of Jewish descent (His father was a jew and his mother was Lutheran). He left Germany for Brussels, where he died in 1942. "Schuhlin" is a short 'narrative' (as the title has it) of a man's struggle with music, his development, the impediments placed in his way, and his accomplishments (There is likely more to the work than my brief take). I do not think the work has ever been translated into English. This copy of "Schuhlin" was issued in a paperback format having an attached dust-jacket with flaps. It was issued by Kurt Wolff in Leipzig in that publisher's "Der Jungste Tag Series". "Schuhlin" was No. 21 in the series. The front cover has a lovely crayon lithograph by Ottomar Starke of a man playing a piano. The rear cover has the publisher's promotional text for a work by Franz Blei. The flaps of the cover present the publisher's list for the series. SERIES : Der Jüngste Tag (no. 21) TITLE : Schuhlin, Eine Erzählung AUTHOR : Carl Sternheim (William Adolph Carl Francke, 1878 - 1942) IMPRINT : Kurt Wolff PLACE : Leipzig DATE : 1916 EDITION : Likely Second Paperback Edition STATUS : OP SPECIAL ATTRIBUTES : Handsome Crayon Lithograph Art on front cover by Ottomar Starke, the artist who first illustrated a cover for Kafka's "The Metamorphosis". In a letter to his publisher in 1915, Kafka pleaded that he did not want an insect on the cover. He was adamant. ("The insect itself cannot be drawn.") Starke wisely acquiesced to Kafka's desire, and his cover for "The Metamorphosis" is in a very similar style as his cover illustration for Sternheim's "Schuhlin". STATUS : OP PHYSICAL DETAILS : Trade paperback with attached pictorial wraps, sewn and glued (plain, thin cardboard cover which has a dust-jacket with flaps - the whole attached at the spine); publisher's device on title page; 32 pages (pagination includes title page); approximately 5 3/8" x 8 1/2". CONDITION -- NEAR VERY GOOD -- EXTERIOR : Paper is unavoidably darkened and weathered (most noticeably on rear) ; there is scattered spotting and smudging - edge wear includes small nicking and creasing - corner tips are bumped. There is abrasion to the spine extremities and small loss to the head. All the same, the whole displays nicely. BINDING : There is evidence that mending has been effected to the cover attachment - however the whole seems solid enough and no leaves are detached or loose. INTERIOR : The paper is unavoidably toned throughout (This book was issued during World War I, so the publisher had to work with the materials he could obtain) I spotted a few small check-marks in the margins next to text - these are small and neat and not egregious. Else the interior is clean and presentable. Cover Art by Ottomar Starke (illustratore).…
