Low Life. Crime. Philadelphia. Souder Casper Jr.
The Mysteries and Miseries of Philadelphia as Exhibited and Illustrated by a Late Presentment of the Grand Jury and by a Sketch of the Condition of the Most Degraded Classes in the City. Dedicated to the Citizens of Philadelphia.
Philadelphia: n. p. 1853. First edition. Spine splitting but stitching sound; some light soiling and toning; a very good copy. Unbound pamphlet contemporary original blue paper spine reinforcement 8.75 x 5.5 inches 20 pages. We visited the house of an astrologer in Small Street below Seventh. 'Crazy Nancy' is the soubriquet borne by an old Negro woman who professes to 'read the stars' and perform charms. She occupies a cellar under a rag and bone shop. . . . Close to the wall on the bare damp floor a sick man lay wrapped up in a piece of old rag carpet. 'Crazy Nancy' takes in lodgers besides reading the planets. She also ferrets out thieves for the police and traces stolen property. Besides all this Nancy drives a brisk trade in charms and makes a good many sixpence by making 'lucky bags' for the superstitious and credulous negroes to wear around their necks. Nancy fills the bags with herbs and after pow-wowing them she is firm in her faith of their efficacy." Ostensibly a work of reform the unauthorized republication of the findings of a Grand Jury presentment which inspected conditions in the slums of the southern part of Philadelphia Southwark and Moyamensing as well as various penal and reform organizations in Philadelphia; this official return is here accompanied by the narrative from Philadelphia Bulletin reporter Casper Souder Jr. of an extensive tour through the cribs dens groggeries and hovels of the quarter replete with detail: "Babies are hired for begging purposes and sickly babies are at a premium. The mother is always entitled to one-half of the proceeds of such expeditions" etc. Sabin 51653: "Contains a fund of startling information and frightful facts. n. p., unknown

Crime. Temperance. Anonymous.
Essays on the Origin of Pauperism and Crime.
Boston: Published by S. G. Simpkins 1841. First edition. Some trifling wear and soiling; a fine copy. 16mo original blind-stamped diaper grain blue cloth gilt lettering 48 pages. No man of ordinary observation can pass through the streets of New York or Philadelphia without meeting numerous living witnesses of the misery which exists in both of those cities and especially in the former. Enough can be seen in Boston to make any benevolent heart ache daily for suffering humanity. But still the amount is less in proportion to population than in either of the other two cities. Through the influence of better laws for education intellectual culture the best preservative from vice and crime is more generally diffused in Boston than in Philadelphia; and from its geographical position Boston is not like New York the common resort of the squalid poverty that seeks refuge on our shores from Europe." A fairly nuanced sociological criminal and economic argument for temperance among the laboring classes pointing to the savings in cost of drinks and to the economic advantages of sober fathers; additional aspersions are cast as well on adulteration of wines and liquors. Originally published as a series in Boston Daily Times here collected and published with a prefatory Advertisement dated May 1841 and signed by a committee of Boston advocates of temperance. Includes an appendix of collected statistics on inmates at the jails and house of correction juvenile crime insane asylum numbers etc. OCLC 6/2019 notes two locations. Published by S. G. Simpkins, unknown
