A Hand Book for Infantry: Containing the First Principles of Military Discipline, Intended to Explain in a Familiar and Practical Manner, for the Use of the Military Force of the United States

by William Duane
Condition: Used: Acceptable/Fair		265.00
Pages:		In Stock: 1

Notes:
Self published by the radical Republican William Duane in 1813. Contemporary leather spine, marbled boards. Hardcover. Ex-library stamps and markings. Rubbing. In the "Hand-book for Infantry" of William Duane, a former editor, we have the work of an enthusiast who undertook to diffuse military knowledge in America. His system of drill was largely original and at first incomplete. Tho first part was finished in 1808 but not published until 1812, after it had been voted on favorably by the House of Representatives, while his system was under consideration by the Senate, Colonel Duane promised its completion. It was then made the regulation drill for the U.S. army by a General Order of the "war Department on March 19, 1813. The system was completed in 1814 but the War Department order had done little to spread its employment, as only four regiments of regulars and some of the Virginia, New York, Jersey, and Pennsylvania militia used it.

Revolutionary Radicalism: Its History, Purpose and Tactics With an Exposition and Discussion of the Steps Being Taken and Required (4 volume set)

by the State of New York Joint Legislative Committee; Lusk Committee
Condition: Used: Very Good		425.00
Pages:		In Stock: 1

Notes:
4 volume set. Thick 8vo. Original navy cloth, gilt spine lettering. Clean, unmarked pages. Good binding and cover. Hardcover. This enormous compilation ordered by the N.Y. State Senate may have been reactionary in its creation, but its scope is exciting, providing lengthy details of just about every notable labor v. management and radicals v. government conflict in the late 1880s to 1920. Absolutely essential for any serious understanding of the history of the American labor movement and 20th Century American radicalism. As per wikipedia: "The committee spent over a year gathering information on suspected radical groups by raiding offices and examining documents, infiltrating meetings, assisting law enforcement agents in the arrest of thousands, and subpoenaing witnesses for the committee's hearings. The investigation generated nationwide publicity and contributed to a repressive environment in which the New York State Assembly expelled five of its socialist members. One of its principal targets was the Rand School of Social Science. The Committee's work also led to the prosecution of a number of individuals."
