184119189Boston: Published by S. G. Simpkins 1841. First edition. Some trifling wear and soiling; a fine copy. 16mo original blind-stamped diaper grain blue cloth gilt lettering 48 pages. No man of ordinary observation can pass through the streets of New York or Philadelphia without meeting numerous living witnesses of the misery which exists in both of those cities and especially in the former. Enough can be seen in Boston to make any benevolent heart ache daily for suffering humanity. But still the amount is less in proportion to population than in either of the other two cities. Through the influence of better laws for education intellectual culture the best preservative from vice and crime is more generally diffused in Boston than in Philadelphia; and from its geographical position Boston is not like New York the common resort of the squalid poverty that seeks refuge on our shores from Europe." A fairly nuanced sociological criminal and economic argument for temperance among the laboring classes pointing to the savings in cost of drinks and to the economic advantages of sober fathers; additional aspersions are cast as well on adulteration of wines and liquors. Originally published as a series in Boston Daily Times here collected and published with a prefatory Advertisement dated May 1841 and signed by a committee of Boston advocates of temperance. Includes an appendix of collected statistics on inmates at the jails and house of correction juvenile crime insane asylum numbers etc. OCLC 6/2019 notes two locations. Published by S. G.

185519759N. p.: Jan. 4th 1855. Autograph address in ink on an unbound fascicle of 15 folia 30 leaves stitched. These arguments it is believed fairly prove that a man can be at the same time both a slave-holder and a Christian or stated in the abstract that the particular relation of superior & inferior known as slavery is not in itself necessarily sinful." An extensive detailed legal and ethical apology for American slavery arguing that a reciprocal relationship exists between the enslaver and the slave; the speak tentatively argues that Congress does have power to regulate slavery in the territories and had words against the doctrine of Popular Sovereignty. The anonymity of this argument and the popular setting of the lyceum stage perhaps as a student production seems altogether fitting as a reflection of the widespread currency of legalistic equivocation over chattel slavery in America prior to the Civil War. With revisions and interpolations and corrections to the text throughout. Jan. 4th, books
