189053980Pittsburgh: Department 0f Public Safety Bureau of Police 1890. 1890. PENNSYLVANIA. This is a 10" x 7 1/4" reward posted that is pasted onto a piece of cardboard with the message: $200 REWARD! ESCAPE FROM WESTERN PENITENTIARY ALLEGHENY PA. "A $100 REWARD each will be paid for the arrest and detention of PADDY McGRAW and JAMES DOBSON who broke away from the Western Penitentiary in Allegheny City on the evening of November 28th 1890." A complete description of Paddy McGraw and James Dobson are provided with a picture of Paddy McGraw provided. This appears to be a "mock-up" with all pertinent information typed and pasted on a stiff paper board and then used as a template for producing the needed wanted posters. On the verso is a similar "mock-up" by Porter's National Detective Agency of Nashville Tennessee offering a reward leading to the arrest of John W. Cullen. Roger O'Mara was Pittsburgh's top cop at the turn of the twentieth century. His long career as a policeman and private detective coupled with his flair for publicity made him one of the most well-known law enforcement figures in the United States during his lifetime. He recounted his cases in newspaper features and his exploits inspired many a detective story in dime-novel crime fiction. The presentation of the poster is a bit shabby but overall a good and serviceable copy of an interesting reward poster. Department 0f Public Safety, Bureau of Police, 1890. unknown

1852AQ35188Melbourne: Printed by John Ferres at the Government Printing Office 1852. x 66pp. Printed on powder blue paper. Stitched as issued. Title page and verso of terminal leaf a trifle marked very occasional light spotting. 'The existing Police Force is insufficient in numerical strength - deficient in organisation and arrangement - and utterly inadequate to meet the present requirements of the country'. A rare survival of a disparaging report cataloguing the inadequacies of the police force in the 'Colony of Victoria' Australia. In 1851 the discovery of gold at Victoria resulted in an unprecedented and overwhelming influx of potential prospectors to the region. The vast increase in population placed immense pressure on the police force faced with a meteoric rise in local criminal incidents. The need to recruit additional officers to combat the escalating crime rate as the present report details was hindered by a reluctance from potential applicants - and indeed existing law enforcement personnel - to abandon the opportunity to share in the wealth pouring from the gold mines. In consequence the local police committee resolved to petition the Home Government to supply experienced officers to bolster their numbers offering the 'extravagant' sum of ten shillings per diem in order to induce 'men of a proper class'. There is a single entry in OCLC without a location reference. . First edition. Folio. Printed by John Ferres, at the Government Printing Office unknown

Educated in Ashmyany Zhitomir and Kremenchug and arrested as a youth for revolutionary activities he went on to study at the St. Petersburg Technological Institute and later at the Sorbonne.<br> Fleeing Russia after the assassination of Tsar Alexander II Krantz settled in Paris and then London becoming a key figure in early Jewish socialist circles. He was a founder of the Jewish Arbeiter Verein and an early contributor to Yiddish socialist journalism despite initial resistance to writing in what he called the "Jewish Jargon."

His works include popular surveys of astronomy and ancient history as well as biographies of Spinoza Muhammad Bar Kokhba Sabbatai Zevi and the Rothschilds among many others. A tireless educator and propagator of knowledge Krantz was committed to enlightening his readership helping to build a secular Jewish culture in Yiddish for the modern age.
