1858197991858. Women Employment Pamphlet titled "Remarks on Woman's Work in Sanitary Reform" England. No Date believed to be circa 1858 measures 5.25" x 8.5". 20 pages. Pamphlet discusses the role of women in the field of Sanitary Reform in England and offers a rare look at the advancement for women's employment equality documenting the skills they have the contributions they can make and the overall benefit they have on society. The pamphlet begins by describing tough physical conditions and suffering in England asking: "What can woman do in her domestic and social capacities to remedy these evils" It also breaks down the field of sanitary labor. "The great field of sanitary labor may be divided into two pars: the amelioration of injurious external circumstances and the reform of injurious habits and customs. Of these parts the former belongs principally to man the latter principally to woman." The pamphlet identifies the tasks of woman within this role: "It is for woman in her functions of mother housewife and teacher to effect those urgently needed changes in infant management domestic economy education and the general habits of her own sex without which humanity could never attain to its desired state of bodily perfection through all injurious external circumstances were changes. It is for her to teach and apply the laws of health in her own provinces where man cannot act." OCLC Worldcat locates no copies in US Institutions but two copies in Europe at the University of Edinburgh and the University of Aberdeen at the time of this writing. Binding is slightly chipping but all pages are held together with only minor wear. Overall pamphlet is in very good condition. unknown

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

The riots were fueled by tensions over support for the French Revolution as Priestley and other dissenters were outspoken in their advocacy for political reform.The violence began when a banquet in support of the French Revolution was held at the Royal Hotel in Birmingham sparking outrage among conservative factions. The rioters attacked Dissenting chapels homes and businesses including Priestley's own residence Fairhill which was burned down along with his scientific equipment and papers. Many rioters became intoxicated while looting and some even perished in fires they had started.The London Corresponding Society founded in 1792 was a radical political organization that sought universal suffrage and parliamentary reform.

200673506Washington DC: U. S. Government Printing Office 2006. Presumed First Edition First printing. Wraps. Good. iii 1 95 1 pages. Rear cover has some creasing. In his opening remarks the Chairman in part stated "Porous borders exact a high price. Ineffective immigration enforcement undermines respect for law. It threatens national security. The steady flow of illegal immigration also passes unpredictable and largely unreimbursed costs on to States and counties already struggling to maintain safe healthy and prosperous communities. That de facto unfunded mandate is draining local law enforcement health care and education budgets. Today we're convening in San Diego to learn more about the intergovernmental impact of illegal immigration and to discuss the urgent need for enhanced border security. We particularly want to hear local assessments of efforts to strengthen enforcement in what is called the internal border where undocumented aliens apply for work official documents and public benefits. As the people of this area know only too well no effort to harden or patrol the international boundary will ever be 100 percent effective. And those who enter legally but subsequently violate the terms of their visa should be detected and detained by vigilant internal enforcement systems. So we asked our witnesses this morning to give us the benefit of their experience and their guidance regarding the costs of illegal immigration and effective ways to limit those costs. The current failure of enforcement is being felt throughout the Nation as the tide of undocumented aliens swells well beyond the six traditional settlement States of California New York Texas Florida Illinois and New Jersey. As of last April legislatures in 43 States considered bills on immigration issues. Attempting to fill the vacuum left by earnest but hopelessly understaffed Federal efforts States sought to control access to education and other public benefits strengthen employment verification punish human trafficking strengthen eligibility requirements for identifying documents and voting and coordinating law enforcement. County governments and mayors have similarly taken steps to regain some control over their fiscal fate. Obviously when Washington fails to exercise sovereign control over what is pouring into the national melting pot States counties and cities feel the heat. Although difficult to quantify precisely the impact of illegal immigration on State county and city budgets is undeniably growing. According to one estimate those without a legal right to be here generate net fiscal costs approaching $10 billion nationally. The State of California is reported to have spent almost $3 billion in a single year providing services to illegal immigrants. By one estimate the county of San Diego spends more than $50 million a year to arrest jail prosecute and defend illegal immigrants. Of that Federal reimbursement covers only about $2 million. U. S.
