1789ref. 42124Boston: Printed by Adams & Nourse 1789. 54pp with the half title but lacking the final blank. Disbound. Half title and title leaves moderately foxed. Else a clean text. Good plus. Bridge speaks a few weeks after Washington's inauguration as President: "Man was originally formed for society and furnished with faculties adapted thereto." But not just any society-- only one which like the United States under its Constitution "protects the subjects in the peaceable possession of their just rights properties and priviledges." Bridge rejects one-man rule because the temptations of power are corrupting. He notes that God helped us obtain independence "upon terms too as honorable to America as they were humiliating to Britain." The rulers' task is to encourage education and useful pursuits and to distribute justice fairly and impartially. Bridge pleads for the bond-holders of the new country. They should be paid in full. "They risqued their dear-earned interest and their still dearer lives for the freedom of their country." America he says is "blest with the bright beams of gospel light and grace." FIRST EDITION.

1893ref. 234551893. Boston and Albany Railroad disaster photo archive documenting the catastrophic 1893 bridge collapse at Chester Massachusetts when the westbound Chicago Limited Express crashed through an iron bridge spanning the Westfield River. The wreck occurred on August 31 1893 after the bridge failed beneath the weight of the train sending locomotives and passenger cars into the river gorge below. Fourteen people were killed and dozens injured in a disaster that drew national newspaper attention during a period when American railroads were rapidly expanding passenger service while struggling with aging infrastructure and increasing locomotive weight. Photo archive of 4 albumen photographs mounted on original boards each 8" x 10" Chester Massachusetts August 31 1893. The images show passenger coaches twisted into the collapsed bridge structure tracks hanging above shattered timbers and the locomotive overturned amid splintered debris along the riverbank. One view centers on a heavily damaged passenger car resting beside broken rails while groups of men stand surveying the destruction. Another records the locomotive and tender surrounded by wreckage and recovery workers gathered along the track bed. Smoke rises above the debris field in one scene while telegraph poles hillsides and the river valley remain visible in the background situating the wreck within the narrow western Massachusetts rail corridor. Pencil inscriptions along the mounts identify "Chester" with date "Aug. 31st 1893." The Chester wreck became one of several highly publicized railroad disasters of the late nineteenth century that intensified scrutiny of bridge engineering inspection standards and railroad safety during the peak era of American passenger rail expansion. By the 1890s express trains such as the Chicago Limited linked eastern industrial centers to the Midwest with unprecedented speed but the increased weight of modern locomotives placed enormous strain on bridges originally designed for lighter rolling stock. These photographs preserve not only the violence of the collapse itself but also the physical reality of nineteenth-century rail disaster recovery when wreckage removal body recovery and public investigation unfolded directly at the crash site. Light toning scattered surface wear and minor mount wear consistent with age; images remain clear and detailed. Overall in very good condition. unknown books
