The following page is a foldout in 3 sections highlighting the Profile of the Hudson River Tunnel with Water Conduit from Jersey City to New York across the top with a cutaway of the tunnel to scale on the Jersey City side and 3 smaller illustrations showing the interior of the air lock springing the arch and putting up the plate sections.

1875m1888Boston: James R. Osgood and Company 1875. First Edition. Duodecimo printed wrappers 80 pp. Good; some cover soiling and edgewear to upper cover and spine that includes light chipping. From Preface: The dramatic element exists in a greater or less degree in every mind; for the little child begins to imagine or personate some character at a very early age. The doll is invested with histrionic power and plays many different roles as time goes on; and the love of acting lasts after old age has dulled many other enjoyments. no pleasanter manner of whilling away a long evening can be found than by a simple entertainment in which old and young unite. The chief objection to such performances has been the trouble which attends their preparation. This little book is intended to obviate this difficulty as the scenes are so arranged that the most of them can be performed in any parlor with simple properties and costumes and most of them without study or practice. Every one of them however has been tried before large audiences in hundreds of cities and they are now simplified and arranged for performance by old and young. In the opening chapter proof of the long experience of the manager is given; and the last ones are devoted to games of thought in which new games and old ones in a new dress are presented in the hope that much benefit to the thinking powers may be gained as well as amusement. Contents: Introduction; Hints on Tableaux; Scenes in the Life of Marie Stuart; Elaborate Tableaux; The lily Maid of Astolat; Jarley Wax-Works; The Babes in the Woods; The Magic Mirror; The Miser’s Supper; Love in Ambush; The Sleeping Beauty; Auld Robin Gray; The Mistletoe Bough; Villikens and His Deniah; Charades; Games of Thought; The Mental Index; How Poets Are Made.

Cowan64 p.36 Wagner-Camp 234:1 Graff 198. John Russell Bartlett 1805-1886 a historian and linguist was appointed to oversee the United States and Mexican Boundary Commission to survey and establish the current boundary between the United States and Mexico in the Treaty of Guadalupe Hildalgo and expanded with the Gadsden Purchase. The survey also determined the route of a southern railroad. Bartlett was also an artist and made illustrations of the southwest landscape. From Wagner-Camp ". Bartlett was a talented artist observer and reporter who contributed greatly to the knowledge of the geography and topography of the Southwest in his Personal Narrative. During three years with the Mexican Boundary Commission he traveled widely from central Texas to the Pacific Ocean and from Mazatlan to San Francisco. A contentious man and lacking perhaps certain administrative skills Bartlett succeeded in antagonizing most of his fellow-official on the Commission. Graff points out that "a number of incidents described by Bartlett have been differently interpreted by his associates." D. Appleton & Company unknown books
