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. Sullivan Josh. Coolidge Geo. Hallet committee of directors of Middlesex Canal to this purpose duly authorized. House No. 40 printed by Dutton and Wentworth 1830.</p><p>In addition an earlier pamphlet from 1829 is included: "Boston December 15 1829. To His Excellency Levi Lincoln Governor of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts : Sir On the behalf of the Commissioners of Internal Improvements I have the honor to transmit herewith a report of a survey made in conformity to a resolve of the legislature passed on the 12th day of June 1829 directing the Board to survey a route for a rail road from the town of Taunton to some point in the route previously surveyed between Boston and Providence : with great consideration and respect I am your humble and most obe't. serv't.

The description offered in catalogue 590 by the venerable Goodspeed's who knew a thing or two about Boston Brahmin simply cannot be improved: "Vexatious to some but amusing to others because of the biographical comments. A mayor of Boston is called "a 'desperate punster'" and a famous Boston historian is described as "'a showy boy at school and college" and "a pushing man with industry and memory enough to be a good scholar but with great talents for making himself ridiculous.'" The anonymous author or authors "'hold it to be the inalienable right of all Yankees to inquire into and to thoroughly sift and examine their neighbor's affairs."'"<br /> <br /> The early pencil annotations in this example correct some information add a few names of descendents and record deaths.

1849List1801Boston: Anti-Slavery Bazaar 1849. Small broadside measuring 7 ¾ x 4 ½ inches printed on green wove paper. Some creases and a small tear at margin near fine. Near Fine. The American Anti-Slavery Society hosted annual bazaars which served as fundraisers with money going to supporting the National Anti-Slavery Standard newspaper. Many women were involved with the event and sold abolitionist items.

No. 4. with the description “The two following poetical effusions were written for the Anti-Slavery Bazaar In Faneuil Hall by friends of freedom in the old world.†<br /> It reads:<br /> <br /> Ye friends of liberty all hail!<br /> May your endeavours never fail<br /> In freedom’s sacred cause!<br /> May blessings e’er attend your course<br /> In striving to uproot all force<br /> And stern oppression’s laws!<br /> Yours is a noble task my friends!<br /> And God his gracious favor lends<br /> To speed ye on your way<br /> Until you reach the blessed goal<br /> When ev’ry dark benighted soul<br /> Shall hail bright freedom’s ray.<br /> Oh! may he speed the time when all<br /> Their fellow-men shall brethren call<br /> And the deep wrong remove<br /> When the dark chains of slavery<br /> Give place to sacred liberty<br /> And bonds of holy love!<br /> Oh! it were happiness to bind<br /> In such bright chains all human kind<br /> And set each captive free;<br /> For when oppressions all shall cease<br /> And this fair world be fill’d with peace<br /> Like Heav’n on earth ‘twill be!<br /> <br /> A very nice example of the anti-slavery movement during this period.

1861List3000Boston Massachusetts: William Lloyd Garrison and Isaac Knapp 1861. Single sheet letterpress broadside measuring 18 x 24 ½ inches. Folded with small tears at folds and marginal damage; excellent to Near Fine. Offered here is a “phonographic report†i.e. it includes the audience’s reaction of a speech delivered by abolitionist Wendell Phillips 1811–1884 to the Twenty-Eighth Congregational Society in Boston on April 21 1861. The report was printed in an extra of William Lloyd Garrison’s Liberator newspaper. Shortly following the first Battle of Fort Sumter the speech finds Phillips throwing his full support behind the cause of war. He insists to his audience:<br /> <br /> “The anti-slavery enterprise to which I belong started with peace written on its banner. We imagined that the age of bullets was over; that the age of ideas had come; that thirty millions of people were able to stake a great question and decide it by the conflict of opinions; and without letting the ship of State founder lift four millions of men into Liberty and Justice. . Our mistake if any has been that we counted too much on the intelligence of the masses on the honesty and wisdom of statesmen as a class. . The North thinks—can appreciate argument—is in the nineteenth century—hardly any struggle left in it but that between the working class and the money kings. The South dreams—it is the thirteenth and fourteenth century—baron and serf—noble and slave. . Our struggle therefore is no struggle between different ideas but between barbarism and civilization. Such can only be settled by arms. Prolonged cheering.â€<br /> <br /> We find three copies of this newspaper in OCLC. Of interest to scholars of Phillips’ work and of abolitionism especially Boston abolitionists.<br /> <br /> 1 “Wendell Phillips Dead: The Last Hours Of One Of The Apostles Of Abolition†The New York Times February 3 1884 1.
