Paperback. Condition: Very Good. This first volume in the Coward Collection contains four plays written within a two year period when Coward and the century were still in their 20s. The volume is introduced by Sheridan Morley, Coward's first biographer. Hay Fever, a comedy of bad manners, concerns a weekend with friends of the Bliss family, who have all been invited independently for a weekend at their country house near Maidenhead. The Vortex was a controversial drama in its time, introducing drug-addiction onto the stage at a time when alcoholism was barely mentioned. Fallen Angels, which is written for two star actresses was described as 'degenerate', 'vile', 'obscene', 'shocking' - the second half of the play is entirely taken up with an alcoholic duologue between the two women. Easy Virtue is an elegant, laconic tribute to a lost world of drawing-room dramas, no other writer went more directly to the jugular of that moralistic, tight-lipped but fundamentally hypocritical 20s society. "He is simply a phenomenon, and one that is unlikely to occur ever again in theatre history" Terence Rattigan. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Collection of 22 medical offprints bound in a single volume. de Forest is an important figure in the history of fingerprinting. As a surgeon for the New York City Police Department from 1902 to 1912, de Forest recommended fingerprinting as a means of preventing potential civil service employees from having others take their exams for them. de Forests recommendation led to the first fingerprint file in the United States and the first use of fingerprinting by a U.S. government agency. The use of fingerprinting for criminal identification began when the New York State Prison adopted the system. Among the titles in this collection are Police Methods of Dealing with Prostitution in Germany, Obstetric Hemorrhages and Their Treatment, The Care of the Infant, Motor-Boat Fractures, Surgery of the Thoracic Duct, and Soliloquy of a Fallen Woman. Ostensibly, these offprints were sent to Evalyn Lee Messenger, who had them bound in a functional red buckram binding by New York bookbinder H. Kaufman. Two of the offprints are inscribed in ink to Messenger and signed by de Forest. Another contains this inscription in ink: With the regards of henry P. de Forest April 19, 1908. In two other offprints are compliments slips signed by de Forest. The collection, then, contains 5 signatures of de Forest. On one offprint are Messengers initials in ink: E.L.M. The book also has interest for historians of the bookplate. de Forest was also a designer of bookplates. Among those he completed was The Story of Cornell. In the Fulton Patriot of May 7, 1930, both de Forest and Messenger were given credit for helping design the bookplate for the City of Fulton, New York. Messengers bookplate is inside the front cover of this collection, and de Forests bookplate is facing it on the front free endpaper. Both are very interestingly designed, but Messengers is the more fascinating and can often be found in online postings of impressive bookplates. The back blank cover of one of the offprints has an edge chip. The book is Very Good. Signed by Author(s).…
