182520637Boston: True and Greene 1825. First Edition. 22 pp complete with original wrappers but with the stitching perished so gatherings are loose. Pink staining to front wrapper edgewear otherwise very good. Scarce pamphlet criticizing monopolies in general and more specifically the factions who opposed a new toll-free bridge in Boston because it would be detrimental to the interests of those holding a charter and collecting tolls for the existing Charles River bridge. Moser's Daniel Webster bibliography attributes this eloquently written pamphlet to Massachusetts State Senator David Henshaw 1791-1852. We have not been able to confirm this but it seems reasonable given that he was one of the leaders of the Democratic Party in Boston belonged to a group of real estate investors who would benefit from population growth spurred by the proposed new bridge and "represented the growing group of Bostonians who were shut out from the traditionally privileged class" Haines and Sherwood Supreme Court in American Government and Politics p. 32. Daniel Webster was one of the attorney representing the interests of the Charles River Bridge Company which was incorporated in 1785. Ultimately in a landmark decision in favor of free enterprise Charles River Bridge v. Warren Bridge 1837 the Unites States Supreme Court ruled that the charter of the Charles River Bridge Company did not exclude the state of Massachusetts from chartering another bridge nearby.

Tuckerman 1778-1840 was a pioneer in the field of social reform and his advocacy for Boston's poor in the early 19th century was noteworthy for its emphasis upon education and direct action rather than simple charity.

A seldom-encountered work; this copy nicely inscribed by Hale a few years after publication. Roberts Brothers unknown
