ref. 2642443 Berkeley Square "Friday Night". A note presumably in the recipient's hand states "London 14 July 1832. answered". Four pages 8vo bifolium some staining see image but all legible. "Tomorrow morning you will receive in George Street from the Librarian of the House of Lords copies of my two Protests and of Lord Wynford's Protest on the 3rd Reading of the English Reform Bill. I wiosh my Protests to be sent to the Editor of the Standard & Lord Wynford has commissioned me to send his also. Five of the Protests have already appeared in that Paper - which had expressed as I was informed a wish to have them & a readiness to publish them & any others that might be sent to the Editor. It is on this footing that these Protests must be sent. It must on no account appear - nor must a word be said to entitle the Editor to conclude - whatever he may suppose - that either Lord Wynford or I have anything to do with sending them. They must be conveyed to the Editor to publish - if he shall think fit phrase underlined - and must be sent in consequence of his expressing a wish to have & a readiness to publish the Protests. If he does not think fit to publish them he may let it alone & retyurn them. They are not to be paid for as advertisements or otherwise. If you are kind enough to undertake to forward them to the Paper - the Person who takes them may speak or it may bewritten but I should think not with a name in the following sense - that the Protests of Lords H & W are sent to the Standard by one who has reason to know that they are correct in consequence of the readiness expressed by the Editor to make known to the Public the Protests aginst the BILL- - and in consequence of several having already appeared. It might be as well to send them in time for tomorrows sic Evening Paper - or Mondays at furthest. I called in George Street today hoping to catch you before you left your office - but I was too late. I beg if you have any objection to undertaking this office - that you will make no scruple of delivering it. You will find that I could hardly send my Protests in my own name Believe me to be .". POSTSCRIPT They told me at the House of Lords that they were not sent from thence to the Papers. Their not having been sent long ago was very stupid. I hope you will make Dr Coventry understand how absolutely inappropriate it was for me or any one else to make any amendments in so difficult a matter at such a stage - without warning or preparation & in si=uch a House! phrase underlined It was quite out of the question. The thing must now work its own way - if possible to correct them - as they shew themselves in the working of this elaborate & complicated & machine; Should thge Librarian not have sent them to your office in due time - perhaps you will send to him for them. I wrote my name in my two Protests - it would be better to scratch that out." Note: "Lord Haddington went on to vote against the Reform Bill in 1831 but later changed his mind and voted for it in 1832 possibly due to the political crises surrounding its passage."

1831ref. BK0169Philadelphia: William F. Geddes 1831. 2 12 2 pp. Stitched pamphlet measuring 4 ¼ x 7 inches. Good plus with scattered foxing and soiling some wear to edges. An early appeal for organized missionary work among Philadelphia's urban poor issued upon the establishment of the Philadelphia City Mission in March 1831. The organization brought together Christians from several evangelical denominations to reach residents who rarely or never attended church. Its organizers acknowledged that poverty itself could prevent participation in religious life citing "the want of suitable apparel or the want of provision for the poor in our places of worship-into this last reason every Church may do well to inquire." The pamphlet begins by describing the large numbers of people living in Philadelphia and its surrounding districts who remained outside the ordinary reach of the churches: "The most inattentive christian observer must have remarked that there are many persons in the City and Liberties who live in the habitual neglect of the public worship of God and are as destitute of spiritual life as if they were a thousand miles removed from the sound of the Gospel." The Mission proposed to carry religious instruction directly into poorer neighborhoods through home visits prayer meetings the distribution of Bibles and tracts and efforts to increase attendance at Sabbath and infant schools. Its members were to be drawn from different evangelical denominations and required to demonstrate personal piety before undertaking missionary work. An interesting document of Philadelphia's early urban missionary movement particularly for its recognition of the economic and social barriers separating the city's poorer inhabitants from established religious institutions. .

Some additional wear and soiling. Presentation inscription at the head of the title page reading "G. T. Bigelow Esq. / From the Author. Fair overall. An examination of British prison conditions by Joseph Adshead 1800-1861 a Manchester merchant social reformer and advocate of the separate system of imprisonment. Adshead had previously published Prisons and Prisoners 1845 in which he defended the Pennsylvania system against critics including Charles Dickens who had condemned solitary confinement following his visit to the United States. Adshead argues that the prevailing practice of confining prisoners together often without adequate separation by age offense or criminal history served to encourage further crime. He describes conditions at several prisons. The presentation inscription is of particular interest. The recipient appears to be George Tyler Bigelow 1810-1878 the Massachusetts attorney and later Chief Justice of the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court. In 1844 Bigelow and George Bemis defended Abner Rogers Jr. a prisoner charged with murdering Charles Lincoln Jr. the warden of the Massachusetts State Prison. Rogers was acquitted on the grounds of insanity in a widely discussed case that raised questions about criminal responsibility and the mental condition of prisoners. The presentation of Adshead's work to Bigelow suggests a connection between two men involved in contemporary debates over prisons and their administration. . G. & A. Falkner, Printers unknown
