1862ref. 76501Philadelphia: Philadelphia Society for Alleviating the Miseries of Public Prisons 1862-1871. First editions. Octavo. Various paginations but all complete. Publisher’s printed green wrappers two issues have had their wrappers reattached a few instances of erosion to spine but never affecting integrity. Overall in very good condition.There were two main series of this publication. The first series began in 1845 under the title Pennsylvania Journal of Prison Discipline and Philanthropy and in 1862 a second or “new” series was begun leaving off the Pennsylvania no doubt in hopes of national readership. It was a yearly publication. This two-series format continued until the journal ceased publication in 1920 after which it was succeeded by what is now known as The Prison Journal. The Pennsylvania Prison Society founded in Philadelphia in 1787 was the first private agency to concentrate specifically on correctional issues. The society's journal was one of the earliest periodicals devoted solely to studies of correction and crime. The articles run the gamut of subjects related to these fields from discussions of penal philosophy to inmate interviews and even down to the brass tacks of the costs involved in running a prison. . The journal not only provides information on prison conditions and the evolution of the American penal system particularly in Pennsylvania but also offers a detailed record of the penal reform movement in this country. They were remarkably foresighted. This can be seen in the following two quotes; "The readers of this Journal need not be told that we are not very sanguine in our expectations of the permanent reformation of the mass of convicts. There are doubtless instances enough of success in such efforts to warrant and encourage them and we are not to suppose that they are ever wholly useless. The true position for us to take is this. The earlier we address ourselves to the cultivation of right principles and habits in a human being the more hopeful is the prospect of success" and this little gem "May we not easily forget that between a score of men in our prison cells and twenty score of men that may be selected from society at large the only difference is that the former are detected rogues and the latter are perhaps greater rogues undetected" It was a bold movement away from prison as a punishing experience toward a kinder belief that prisoners must once again become useful members of society.

1892ref. 43449Chicago: Bloch 1892. paperback. 1st edition original printed green paper wrappers 8vo. 49 pages. Singerman 4345. Rabbi Emil G. Hirsch 1851-1923 "who headed Chicago's Sinai Congregation for forty-two years and led Reform Judaism into the Progressive movement and down social justice pathways was born in Luxemburg. One of several Jews involved in founding the NAACP Hirsch was married to the daughter of abolitionist rabbi David Einhorn and served in his father-in-law's former pulpit in Baltimore before moving to Louisville Kentucky and then Chicago. He was professor of rabbinical literature and philosophy at the University of Chicago in 1892 active in the Republican Party and editor of several influential Jewish publications" Lawrence Bush in Jewish Currents "Hirsch and his congregants struggled to come to terms with the large number of Jewish immigrants who moved to Chicago after 1880 boosting the Jewish community from about 10000 in 1880 to over 300000 in 1920.For the established Jews represented by Sinai the Jewish 'Ghetto' - the immigrant neighborhood on the city's West Side - appeared to represent a world apart and a sharp contrast to Sinai's radical and inclusive reform agenda: a highly visible expression of Jewish ethnicity and traditional Judaism which Reform Jews associated with isolation discrimination and exclusion." Nevertheless during the 1890s "Hirsch spoke up against the deplorable condition of Jews in the Russian Empire and reached out to West Side residents. His support for workers' rights also won him much support among Jewish immigrants who overwhelmingly belonged to the working class. "Hirsch worked closely with Jane Addams and other members of the Hull House circle. In 1908 Hirsch and Addams were among the co-founders of the NAACP. Hirsch inspired several members of Sinai congregation: Sears and Roebuck president and philanthropist Julius Rosenwald was one of Hirsch's closest associates so was legal scholar Julian Mack who presided over a widely noted juvenile court in Chicago in the first decade of the 20th century. Hannah Solomon was one of the founders of the organized Jewish women's movement in the United States. Joseph Schaffner and Harry Hart were the leading partner of the clothing manufacturer Hart Schaffner & Marx one of Chicago's largest employers. Influenced by Hirsch's social theology Schaffner and Hart settled with their workers during the 1910-1911 clothing strike recognizing their right to form a union" Tobias Brinkmann.

Osman Nuri Ergin was the initiator of the studies regarding modern municipalities' studies and gave so many qualified books related to Ottoman-Turkish urbanism and municipalities' studies scientifically. He was also the first scholar who was one of the architectures of municipalities' studies and history of urbanism and education. His best known book in this field called "Mecelle-i Umûr-i Belediyye". The book is one of the main sources for the history of urbanism, especially for the history of Istanbul. Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality and other metropolitan cities of Turkey function on the bases of what he declared. Since he worked as an officer for the government during the World War I, the time of Abdulhamid II and at the time of the young Republic, he was one of the figures who know the cultural and social changes in Turkish society. During this cultural transformation, he played a role of bridge in between Ottoman culture and modern day Turkey with the help of some enlightened scholars. He had so many attempts to transform Ottoman Sufi culture to the next generations. To reach this goal, he wrote so many valuable books. Although he wrote books in the fields such as Sufi order, grammar, history of arts, literature, he was not able to publish all of his works in his life. This 'Maarif tarihi' [= History of education] is still the most comprehensive corpus on Ottoman / Turkish education and cultural history.
