Julie, ou J’ai Sauve ma Rose. Par Madame de C***.
Read More[Felicite de Choiseul-Meuse?]; [Madame Guyot?]
A Hambourg, et se Trouve a Paris: Chez les Marchands de Nouveautes, 1807.Possibly the first sapphic novel written by a woman, over a century before Radclyffe Hall’s The Well of Loneliness. The vivid depiction of lesbian love lends to the warning on the title page, “La mere en defendra la lecture a sa fille” [The mother will forbid her daughter to read it], and led to the novel’s censure in 1825 and on the ruling of obscenity and its order of destruction in 1827. First published in 1807, this is a well survived example of the second edition, differing from the first with the French spelling modernized, published in 1820 or 1821 but with the same 1807 imprint of the first edition. Sometimes attributed to Felicite de Choiseul-Meuse, and also to Madame Guyot, both have been refuted. PERCEAU 6-2, PIA pp. 662-3, GAY Vol. IV pp. 196.

The Australian Constitution: A Documentary History
Read MoreJohn M. Williams
Melbourne: Melbourne University Press, 2005.“This book brings together all the critical documents which formed the Commonwealth Constitution of 1901. Constitutions are the basic documents of a society. The drafting of the Australian constitution was the product of intense negotiation and debate. Line by line it represents the work of dozens of delegates and the considerations of millions of Australians. This authoritative and unique book brings together, for the first time, all the critical documents that formed the Commonwealth Constitution of 1901, tracing the Constitution from its most embryonic stages to its enactment. From the time that the colonies obtained self-government in the 1850s the issue of a large federation was being considered. In the latter part of the nineteenth century the colonies, through their delegates, came together in a series of conventions to draft a constitution that was to be put to the people. The documents included in this book tell the story of that painstaking process. This easily accessible collection of primary source material includes drafts of the Constitution, memoranda, personal letters relating to the drafting, and comments by the drafters themselves. It contains Hansard extracts, speeches, resolutions from Australasian Federal Conventions and comments on the drafts. It also reproduces newspaper cartoons reflecting popular feeling at the time.” (publisher’s blurb)

Though she was a professional dancer, Beasley never forgot the purpose of her studies in documentary work. Along with negligees and stilettos, she regularly brought a camera to the clubs, and began recording testimonies from the managers, dancers, and patrons. The result is Lapdancer, an inside look at the world of professional nude dancing.” (publisher’s blurb)
