25479Between 27 July 1885 and 22 March 1886. All from Edgbaston Birmingham the second a letterhead. See his entry in the Oxford DNB. From the Piffard papers. A total of 9pp 12mo. The recipient is 'B. Piffard Esq.' and the letters are all signed 'Jesse Collings'. ONE: 27 July 1885. 2pp 12mo. He apologises for the delay in replying: 'I have been so over-pressed with Parliamentary and other work.' He will go into the matter of Piffard's letter at the 'Committee meeting of our Allotments & Small Holdings Association' that very day. 'We are waking up the Charity Commissioners to a great extent but it will be utterly impossible to do full justice to the rights of the people until the management of these charities and other mattes connected with the poor are placed in the hands of the new rural municipalities which I hope will be created as soon as a Liberal Government returns to power'. TWO: 10 December 1885. 3pp 12mo. The subject of the letter is 'the enclosures contemplated by Earl Brownlow' about which Piffard has sent him a newspaper cutting. 'If I could get a "brief" shortly stating the case I would see if there was any possibility of bringing the matter before Parliament': 'I do not know how I should raise the question but I would watch for some opening if I knew all the particulars of the case'. He informs him that 'The county elections are turning out exceedingly well and this means the beginning of the end of the power of the territorial Party. The action of our Allotments and Small Holdings Association is getting more and more powerful in the rural districts and we shall push it forward to the utmost extent.' THREE: 8 January 1886. 1p 12mo. Further thoughts on the subject of Letter Two. FOUR: 24 January 1886. 2pp 12mo. 'The matter seems a very unsatisfactory one and I should like to do anything within my power towards securing the popular rights if you could suggest anything. I have such an enormous amount of work on hand that it would be impossible for me to go through the matter and prepare a brief but if any short statement can be formulated bringing out the points I will ask some questions in Parliament on the subject. It seems monstrous that Lrods of the Manor should retain such powers while they have shuffled off all the obligations in which their supposed rights over land are founded.' FIVE: 22 March 1886. 1p 12mo. He is pleased to hear of the success which has attended Piffard's efforts both with regard to the Charity Commissioners and the enclosures.' He is returning Piffard's 'plan' and regrets that he is 'so fully occupied just now that I am sorry I am not able to take any special action in the matter'. Between 27 July 1885 and 22 March 1886.

186276501Philadelphia: Philadelphia Society for Alleviating the Miseries of Public Prisons 1862-1871. First editions. Octavo. Various paginations but all complete. Publisher’s printed green wrappers two issues have had their wrappers reattached a few instances of erosion to spine but never affecting integrity. Overall in very good condition.There were two main series of this publication. The first series began in 1845 under the title Pennsylvania Journal of Prison Discipline and Philanthropy and in 1862 a second or “new†series was begun leaving off the Pennsylvania no doubt in hopes of national readership. It was a yearly publication. This two-series format continued until the journal ceased publication in 1920 after which it was succeeded by what is now known as The Prison Journal. The Pennsylvania Prison Society founded in Philadelphia in 1787 was the first private agency to concentrate specifically on correctional issues. The society's journal was one of the earliest periodicals devoted solely to studies of correction and crime. The articles run the gamut of subjects related to these fields from discussions of penal philosophy to inmate interviews and even down to the brass tacks of the costs involved in running a prison. . The journal not only provides information on prison conditions and the evolution of the American penal system particularly in Pennsylvania but also offers a detailed record of the penal reform movement in this country. They were remarkably foresighted. This can be seen in the following two quotes; "The readers of this Journal need not be told that we are not very sanguine in our expectations of the permanent reformation of the mass of convicts. There are doubtless instances enough of success in such efforts to warrant and encourage them and we are not to suppose that they are ever wholly useless. The true position for us to take is this. The earlier we address ourselves to the cultivation of right principles and habits in a human being the more hopeful is the prospect of success" and this little gem "May we not easily forget that between a score of men in our prison cells and twenty score of men that may be selected from society at large the only difference is that the former are detected rogues and the latter are perhaps greater rogues undetected" It was a bold movement away from prison as a punishing experience toward a kinder belief that prisoners must once again become useful members of society.

189243449Chicago: Bloch 1892. paperback. 1st edition original printed green paper wrappers 8vo. 49 pages. Singerman 4345. <br> <br> Rabbi Emil G. Hirsch 1851-1923 "who headed Chicago's Sinai Congregation for forty-two years and led Reform Judaism into the Progressive movement and down social justice pathways was born in Luxemburg.<br> One of several Jews involved in founding the NAACP Hirsch was married to the daughter of abolitionist rabbi David Einhorn and served in his father-in-law's former pulpit in Baltimore before moving to Louisville Kentucky and then Chicago. He was professor of rabbinical literature and philosophy at the University of Chicago in 1892 active in the Republican Party and editor of several influential Jewish publications" Lawrence Bush in Jewish Currents<br> "Hirsch and his congregants struggled to come to terms with the large number of Jewish immigrants who moved to Chicago after 1880 boosting the Jewish community from about 10000 in 1880 to over 300000 in 1920.For the established Jews represented by Sinai the Jewish 'Ghetto' - the immigrant neighborhood on the city's West Side - appeared to represent a world apart and a sharp contrast to Sinai's radical and inclusive reform agenda: a highly visible expression of Jewish ethnicity and traditional Judaism which Reform Jews associated with isolation discrimination and exclusion." <br> Nevertheless during the 1890s "Hirsch spoke up against the deplorable condition of Jews in the Russian Empire and reached out to West Side residents. His support for workers' rights also won him much support among Jewish immigrants who overwhelmingly belonged to the working class.<br> "Hirsch worked closely with Jane Addams and other members of the Hull House circle. In 1908 Hirsch and Addams were among the co-founders of the NAACP. Hirsch inspired several members of Sinai congregation: Sears and Roebuck president and philanthropist Julius Rosenwald was one of Hirsch's closest associates so was legal scholar Julian Mack who presided over a widely noted juvenile court in Chicago in the first decade of the 20th century. <br> Hannah Solomon was one of the founders of the organized Jewish women's movement in the United States. Joseph Schaffner and Harry Hart were the leading partner of the clothing manufacturer Hart Schaffner & Marx one of Chicago's largest employers. Influenced by Hirsch's social theology Schaffner and Hart settled with their workers during the 1910-1911 clothing strike recognizing their right to form a union" Tobias Brinkmann.<br> <br> SUBJECT S : Jesus Christ -- Jewish interpretation.

2642443 Berkeley Square "Friday Night". A note presumably in the recipient's hand states "London 14 July 1832. answered". Four pages 8vo bifolium some staining see image but all legible. "Tomorrow morning you will receive in George Street from the Librarian of the House of Lords copies of my two Protests and of Lord Wynford's Protest on the 3rd Reading of the English Reform Bill. I wiosh my Protests to be sent to the Editor of the Standard & Lord Wynford has commissioned me to send his also. Five of the Protests have already appeared in that Paper - which had expressed as I was informed a wish to have them & a readiness to publish them & any others that might be sent to the Editor. It is on this footing that these Protests must be sent. It must on no account appear - nor must a word be said to entitle the Editor to conclude - whatever he may suppose - that either Lord Wynford or I have anything to do with sending them. They must be conveyed to the Editor to publish - if he shall think fit phrase underlined - and must be sent in consequence of his expressing a wish to have & a readiness to publish the Protests. If he does not think fit to publish them he may let it alone & retyurn them. They are not to be paid for as advertisements or otherwise. If you are kind enough to undertake to forward them to the Paper - the Person who takes them may speak or it may bewritten but I should think not with a name in the following sense - that the Protests of Lords H & W are sent to the Standard by one who has reason to know that they are correct in consequence of the readiness expressed by the Editor to make known to the Public the Protests aginst the BILL- - and in consequence of several having already appeared. It might be as well to send them in time for tomorrows sic Evening Paper - or Mondays at furthest. I called in George Street today hoping to catch you before you left your office - but I was too late. I beg if you have any objection to undertaking this office - that you will make no scruple of delivering it. You will find that I could hardly send my Protests in my own name Believe me to be .". POSTSCRIPT They told me at the House of Lords that they were not sent from thence to the Papers. Their not having been sent long ago was very stupid. I hope you will make Dr Coventry understand how absolutely inappropriate it was for me or any one else to make any amendments in so difficult a matter at such a stage - without warning or preparation & in si=uch a House! phrase underlined It was quite out of the question. The thing must now work its own way - if possible to correct them - as they shew themselves in the working of this elaborate & complicated & machine; Should thge Librarian not have sent them to your office in due time - perhaps you will send to him for them. I wrote my name in my two Protests - it would be better to scratch that out." Note: "Lord Haddington went on to vote against the Reform Bill in 1831 but later changed his mind and voted for it in 1832 possibly due to the political crises surrounding its passage."
