Address of the Catholic Lay Citizens of the City and County of Philadelphia to their Fellow-citizens In Reply to the Presentment of the Grand Jury of the Court of Quarter Sessions of May Term 1844 in Regard to the Causes of the Late Riots in Philadelphia
Philadelphia: M. Fithian 1844. Paperback. Good. 12 p.; 22 cm. Lacking wrapper. Stamped on title page: "Case 42 Shelf E." In early May 1844 Protestant nativists in Philadelphia feeling threatened by the inscreasing number of Catholic immigrants held public meetings accusing Catholics of seeking to have the Bible removed from public schools among other things. Incendiary language led to violence in which people and buildings were attacked. The Court of Quarter Sessions created a grand jury to investigate which concluded that the Catholics were to blame and the nativists were "unoffending citizens." On June 18 1844 a meeting of Catholic citizens of the city appointed a committee to draft a response. In this address they refute the unfounded charge that they sought to have the Bible removed from the schools and responded to other recent events. In Good Condition: chipping along spine; first leaf and last are partially detached; very lightly soiled. M. Fithian paperback

An Account of the Terrible Explosion at Fales and Gray's Car Manufactory Hartford Conn. with the Official Report of the Coroner's Jury and Two Sermons Delivered on Sunday March 12 by Rev. T.M. Clark D.D. and Rev. Walter Clarke D.D.
Hartford: E.T. Pease & Co 1854. First Edition. Softcover. Very good. Pamphlet 51 pp sewn binding original printed wrappers. Some paper loss to spine and at corners binding tight text clean. On March 2 1854 a recently installed 50-horsepower steam boiler exploded at the railroad-car factory Fales & Gray Car Works in Hartford Connecticut. The explosion killed 16 men wounded many more destroyed the blacksmith shop and engine room and badly damaged the main building. Workmen were buried in the rubble when the roof and walls caved in and many were severely burned. An investigation commenced the following day and a jury heard six days of testimony from workers managers and the boiler manufacturer before concluding that the carelessness and inexperience of the boiler operator who was killed in the blast were to blame for the disaster. The jury recommended that City Council of Hartford pass legislation to regulate the placement and operation of boilers so that workers would be better protected. It was ten years before that occurred but a more immediate consequence was the establishment of the city's first hospital -- the need for which was made evident by the lack of facilities to treat all the blast victims. This pamphlet sold to raise money for the victims and their families includes a list of all men killed or wounded schematics of the boiler and plant layout transcripts of eyewitness testimony given before the Coroner's Jury and the Jury's recommendation for better training and workplace safety.
