21482Kansas City: T.J. Green & Co. Undated likely early 20th century. Four cards measuring approximately 2.5 x 4.5 inches each advertising a differrent residential development in Kansas City: Eaton Place Forest Park Melba Park and Chesterfield Each card has brief promotional text "fine residence lots" "magnificent view every lot 2 to 3 feet above grade close to good school stores and churches" prices ranging from $175 to $425 and directions on one side and a map showing the streets and numbered lots on the other. Three cards near fine one Melba Park very good with a spot of abrasion on the map side. The T.J. Green Company was established in 1881. By 1886 a book on the city's commercial development The Commerce of Kansas City praised them as "among the most prominent and reliable firms" involved in developing the areas of the city beyond the central business district that would meet the needs of a rapidly growing population. "Their system is to purchase acre tracts that are in good locations and as near as possible to city itself then to subdivide them into town lots and so dispose of them on the open market. This is really developing the city or in other words it is constantly creating new additions and suburbs. That these transactions have proved most profitable under the experienced management of this firm is shown in the daily increasing value of this class of property and in the fact that not a single client who has acted on their advice has failed to make a very handsome return on his investment." Evidently the company's success continued; the four tracts offered on these cards are listed as the company's 52nd 53rd 56th and 57th "additions." We find no examples of these or other T.J.

184020881New York: S.W. Benedict 1840. First Edition. Hardcover. Very good. 4.75 x 3 inches pp. vi 265 including index of first lines. Publisher's blind-stamped brown cloth with gilt spine lettering. Corners lightly bumped very slight scattered foxing nineteenth-century ink stamp of H.J. Jones and penciled signature of Samuel Jones on front free endpaper; very good or better. According to the Preface this collection was commissioned by the American Anti-Slavery Society for use by "those who have been accustomed to meet to pray for the Emancipation of the Slave." Hatfield a Presbyterian minister and student of hymns selected and liberally edited 291 hymns songs and poems--including three credited to John Greenlead Whittier--and organized them thematically into sections titled "The Cause of the Slave" "The Slave Comforted" "The Slave Exhorted to Patience and Hope" "The Rights of the Slave" "Appeals in Behalf of the Slave" subdivided into appeals to masters freemen women and Christian "Slaveholders Admonished" "The Friends of the Slave Encouraged" "The Friends of the Slave Assembled" and "Emancipation." As scholar Cheryl C. Boots argues Freedom's Lyre stands out from the hundreds of collections of hymns published in the nineteenth century because the performance of these hymns "helped connect their secular cause with a sacred one" and "functioned within the ranks of the abolitionists as a commonly held language of identity and protest that engaged singers' emotions as it affirmed the humanity of blacks" Singing for Equality the American Antislavery and Indian Rights Movements 1640-1855.
