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.

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.
