Good. <p>Simon writes that the change proposed by his correspondent is quite acceptable to him.<p>Sir John Simon 1816-1904 was an English pathologist surgeon and public health reformer. He held surgical posts at King's College Hospital and St. Thomas's Hospital in London from 1840 until 1876. Public health was not considered a responsibility of the government in the early 19th century. Parliament passed the Public Health Act of 1848 partly in response to Simon's influence and to deal with the threat of cholera and other public health problems. Simon was appointed the first Medical Officer of Health for the City of London. He was later made the head of the Medical Department of the Government and remained in that post until his retirement in 1876. Though he had no previous public health experience Simon's ongoing interest in pathology gave him a distinct advantage as a medical officer. He called for municipal action to provide adequate sanitary disposal and drainage improved standards of housing and upgrading of the water supply. His advocacy resulted in the Sanitary Act of 1875 which for the first time made a public health law universal and compulsory. Simon was also a member of Privy Council 1858-1876 and President of the Royal Society 1879-1880. May 21st, circa [1860s]. unknown

THE WIDE GATE TO PERDITION: BONIVARD'S REBUKE OF PAPAL CRAFT AND FALSE REFORMBiblio.com

The Path to Perdition: A Warning Against Papal Deceit : Advis et devis de la source de l'idolatrie et tyrannie papale: par quelle practique et finesse les papes sont en si hault degre montez suivis des difformes reformez de l'advis et devis de menconge et des faulx miracles du temps present. By Francois Bonivard. Published by Jules Guillaume Fick Geneva 1856. Text in French throughout

1856373747Jules Guillaume Fick Geneva 1856. Full Vellum. Very Good Condition. This rare 1856 edition resurrects a fiery Reformation tract by Franois Bonivard the former Prior of St. Victor in Geneva and a vocal critic of papal authority. Originally penned in the 16th century Bonivard's Advis et Devis is a sweeping denunciation of papal idolatry tyranny and political cunning tracing the rise of the papacy through pratique et finesse craft and manipulation. The title alone is a manifesto: a condemnation not only of Rome's spiritual claims but of its worldly ascent bolstered by false miracles distorted reformers and the machinery of deception. The 1856 printing by Jules Guillaume Fick a Genevan publisher active in theological and polemical works is notable for its typographic austerity and symbolic frontispiece a woodcut archway labeled la porte large & le chemin spacieux qui mene a perdition the wide gate and spacious path that leads to perdition. This visual metaphor sets the tone for the text's moral urgency and rhetorical force. Though the book is printed in French its spirit is unmistakably Calvinist echoing Geneva's role as a bastion of Protestant reform and intellectual dissent. Bonivard's work is more than theological invective it's a window into the political theology of the Reformation where spiritual critique was inseparable from civic resistance. His attacks on les difformes reformateurs distorted reformers suggest a layered critique not just of Rome but of those who claimed reform while perpetuating corruption. The 1856 edition likely served both archival and agitational purposes reasserting Protestant identity in a century grappling with religious revivalism ultramontanism and the legacy of Enlightenment skepticism. For collectors this volume sits at the intersection of Reformation polemic Genevan print culture and 19th-century religious historiography. Its vellum binding untrimmed edges and stark layout reinforce its status as a deliberate revival a book meant to be read debated and remembered. Bound in full vellum yapped edges. Ties now absent. Edges untrimmed. Binding dusty and marked but very firm and sound. Contents very clean and firm. Size: 14.5 x 22 cms. Category: Antiquarian & Rare; Special Interest. This item may require more postage than the rates shown for delivery outside the UK.

[SOCIAL WELFARE & REFORM] [NEEDLE TRADES] [AMERICAN INDUSTRIAL ASSOCIATION] HOXIE, JosephBiblio.com

Pauperism - Its Evils Causes and Remedy. A Report Presented by Hon. Joseph Hoxie On Behalf of the Poor at a Public Meeting Convened at Hope Chapel on the 16th Day of February 1859

185988899New York: Chas. W. Baker 1859. First Edition. Sewn pamphlet. Octavo; printed paper wrappers 8pp. Text printed in double columns. Old stains to covers and bottom margin throughout else Good and sound. <br /> <br /> A pamphlet issued by authority of the American Industrial Association of which Hoxie a District judge and reform-minded philanthropist was Vice-President. Hoxie's rather toothless report regarding the "alarming increase of the necessitous poor" within the New York city limits distilled to its essence is that "something must be done." Of far greater interest is a brief postscript relating a meeting of New York's "sewing women" under the auspices of the Association where a plan was presented to supply a clean well-lit workroom supplied with new sewing machines at no.10 Fourth Avenue in Manhattan for the use of seamstresses in distress. The presentation was made by John Cooke a Methodist minister who in the best tradition of paternalistic condescension remarked addressing a room-full of seamstresses: "The greatest sufferers are the needle women. Unfortunately they have themselves invited the evil by preferring this mode of living to other avocations sic within their reach thus crowding the city labor market and by an unavoidable consequence cheapening labor." Cooke goes on to propose a solution whereby young working women would be transported out of the city and put into situations in "the country." The proposal for free sewing machines and a clean place to work was met with favor by the women's representatives. No mention is made of their reaction to the idea of voluntary exile to parts unknown. Chas. W. Baker unknown
