‎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.

The focus of the group was to provide medical assistance for all regardless of financial circumstances. The name Fabiola comes from Saint Fabiola a woman in 4th century Rome who started the first hospital for sick and needy travelers. The Fabiola Hospital was built 10 years later at the intersection of New Broadway and Moss Avenue now Broadway and West MacArthur Blvd. on 2-1/2 acres of land donated by Anthony Chabot.

‎La Araucana de D. Alonso de Ercilla y ZuÌñiga EdicioÌn del centenario ilustrada con grabados documentos notas histoÌricas y bibliograÌficas y una biografiÌa del autor‎

Folio 15" x 10 3/4" with original wrappers bound in to cloth binding. Compiled and arranged by Jose Toribio Medina. First edition.<br /><br />La Araucana is an epic poem in Spanish about the Spanish conquest of Chile by Alonso de Ercilla; it is also known in English as The Araucaniad. It was considered the national epic of the Kingdom of Chile and one of the most important works of the Spanish Golden Age Siglo de Oro. The poem consists of 37 cantos that are distributed across the poem's three parts. The first part was published in 1569; the second part appeared in 1578 when it was published with the first part; the third part was published with the first and second parts in 1589. The poem shows Ercilla to be a master of the octava real the complicated stanza in which many other Renaissance epics in Castilian were written. A difficult eight-line unit of 11-syllable verses that are linked by a tight rhyme scheme the octava real was a challenge few poets met. It had been adapted from Italian only in the 16th century and it produces resonant serious-sounding verse that is appropriate to epic themes. The work describes the initial phase of the Arauco War which was born as a Spanish conquests attempt not at all comparable in importance to those of Hernán Cortés who helped conquer the Aztec empire and Francisco Pizarro who initiated the overthrow the Inca empire. Contrary to the epic conventions of the time however Ercilla placed the lesser conquests of the Spanish in Chile at the core of his poem because the author was a participant in the conquest and the story is based on his experiences there. On scraps of paper in the lulls of fighting Ercilla jotted down versified octaves about the events of the war and his own part in it. These stanzas he later gathered together and augmented in number to form his epic. It was the first poem of its kind written by a participant in the course of the events narrated and the first to immortalize the beginnings of a modern country. In the minds of the Chilean people La Araucana is a kind of Iliad that exalts the heroism pride and contempt of pain and death of the legendary Araucanian leaders and makes them national heroes today. Thus we see Ercilla appealing to the concept of the "noble savage" which has its origins in classical authors and took on a new lease of life in the renaissance - c.f. Montaigne's essay Des Canibales and was destined to have wide literary currency in European literature two centuries later. He had in fact created a historical poem of the war in Chile which immediately inspired many imitations.<br /><br />La Araucana is deliberately literary and includes fantastical elements reminiscent of medieval stories of chivalry. The narrator is a participant in the story at the time a new development for Spanish literature. Influences include Orlando furioso by Ludovico Ariosto. Also features extended description of the natural landscape. La Araucana's successes—and weaknesses—as a poem stem from the uneasy coexistence of characters and situations drawn from Classical sources primarily Virgil and Lucan both translated into Spanish in the 16th century and Italian Renaissance poets Ludovico Ariosto and Torquato Tasso with material derived from the actions of contemporary Spaniards and Araucanians. The mixture of Classical and Araucanian motifs in La Araucana often strikes the modern reader as unusual but Ercilla's turning native peoples into ancient Greeks Romans or Carthaginians was a common practice of his time. For Ercilla the Araucanians were noble and brave—only lacking as their Classical counterparts did the Christian faith. Caupolicán the Indian warrior and chieftain who is the protagonist of Ercilla's poem has a panoply of Classical heroes behind him. His valour and nobility give La Araucana grandeur as does the poem's exaltation of the vanquished: the defeated Araucanians are the champions in this poem which was written by one of the victors a Spaniard. Ercilla's depiction of Caupolicán elevates La Araucana above the poem's structural defects and prosaic moments which occur toward the end when Ercilla follows Tasso too closely and the narrative strays from the author's lived experience. Ercilla the poet-soldier eventually emerges as the true hero of his own poem and he is the figure that gives the poem unity and strength. The story is considered to be the first or one of the first works of literature in the New World cf. Cabeza de Vaca's Naufragios—Shipwrecked or Castaways for its fantastical/religious elements it is arguable whether that is a "traveler's account" or actual literature; and Bernal Díaz del Castillo's Historia verdadera de la conquista de Nueva España The Conquest of New Spain. La Araucana's more dramatic moments also became a source of plays. But the Renaissance epic is not a genre that has as a whole endured well and today Ercilla is little known and La Araucana is rarely read except by specialists and students of Spanish and Latin American literatures and of course in Chile where it is subject of special attention in the elementary schools education both in language and history. La Araucana makes Chile the only American country that was founded under the lights of an epic poem. <br /><br />Condition:<br /><br />Bound in red cloth with original wrappers bound in.

Caldwell 1772-1853 was a student and at times a critic of Benjamin Rush and founder of the Louisville Medical Institute. He was one of several American physicians of the early nineteenth century who popularized the term "physical education" by which they meant the instruction of children in all matters relating to the body and its overall health. In this work which achieved national recognition Caldwell argues that physical education is an essential companion to moral and intellectual education for without it "man cannot attain the perfection of his nature." It should include "every thing that by bearing in any way on the human body might injure or benefit in its health vigor or fitness for action" including "diet cleanliness clothing atmospherical temperature respiration muscular exercise sleep and animal passions.
