Very good.</p><p>First edition Massachusetts Senate No. 21. The report is signed on page 11 by John W. Lincoln Chairman. The report is followed by the text of a bill entitled "An act to establish the Boston and Lowell Rail Road Corporation."</p><p>The Boston and Lowell Railroad was the first major railroad in the state of Massachusetts. The Boston and Lowell Railroad was preceded by the Middlesex Canal. Converting the canal to a railroad would eliminate the issue of transportation being unavailable during the winter when the canal froze. Patrick Tracy Jackson led the task of convincing the state legislature to fund the project. This proved difficult as the investors of the Middlesex Canal were against building a new form of transportation designed to replace their canal. The report at hand details the protest of the directors of the Middlesex Canal against granting the petition of John F. Loring and others to construct a railroad in its place. Loring and the other investors received their charter on June 5 1830 and the railroad began operations on June 24 1835.</p><p>The pamphlet is accompanied by an earlier February 12 1830 pamphlet titled:"To the Honorable the Senate and House of Representatives in General Court assembled. : The president directors and company of the Middlesex Canal having seen the publication of the petition of John F. Loring and others for a rail road from Boston to Lowell and the order of notice thereon beg leave to present the following remonstrance to granting the prayer thereof." 12 pages. Signed page 12: Wm.

From the introduction: "But beyond the essential problem of type arrangement is another field for the printer-designer which is less austere and richer in opportunities for invention namely the decoration or embellishment of the type message. Here is the little added touch that goes beyond the bare essentials of taste into the realm of fantasy. This book is presented to designers of printing as the merest suggestion of what these possibilities can offer rather than as any manual of principles of ornamentation. There are no principles; there are only the units themselves small and willing amazingly able to take on new appearances upside-down or back-to-back yet always retaining that subtle relation to the printed surface that makes them so valuable.
